Glenn Beck going blind. I don't buy it.

[no_hypocrisy]

Remember:

1. Glenn Beck thought he was going to die in the hospital.

2. Glenn Beck crying in Salt Lake City, announcing his diagnosis.
Reminds of his infamous photoshoot.

3. He'll go blind within 12 months. Or maybe he won't.

4. Beck's sponsor (Buy Gold!) under Congressional investigation.

5. How convenient to have a doctor discover this condition.

[Scuba]

1. I'll buy mute. In fact, I'll help pay for mute.

[madinmaryland]

10. I so wish that was his problem!

[Catshrink]

15. He'd still have his stupid blackboard.

Who still has blackboards? We all have whiteboards and smartboards now.

[Skittles]

2. he is a drama queen

[madinmaryland]

9. can you please kick his ass. At least before you "try" to kick the fat

maryland cat's ass!

:D

[bullwinkle428]

3. Remind me again...is "El Rushbo" deaf today?

:evilgrin:

[sfwriter]

4. He's a big jackoff...

what do you expect.

[Catshrink]

5. He sounds like Oral Roberts

Roberts' fundraising was controversial. In January 1987, during a fundraising drive, Roberts announced to a television audience that unless he raised $8 million by that March, God would "call him home." Some were fearful that he was referring to suicide, given the impassioned pleas and tears that accompanied his statement. He raised $9.1 million. Later that year, he announced that God had raised the dead through Roberts' ministry. Some of Roberts' fundraising letters were written by Gene Ewing, who heads a business writing donation letters for other evangelicals such as Don Stewart and Robert Tilton.

Roberts maintained his love of finery and one obituary claimed that even when times become hard, "he continued to wear his Italian silk suits, diamond rings and gold bracelets – airbrushed out by his staff on publicity pictures".

6. I hate to say it but years ago I listened to Beck's radio show as there

was no alternative in the timeslot (Limbaugh was on the other station). He's always used these pity tactics to make listeners feel sorry for him.

[Catshrink]

22. Such is the crying.

Big baby.

[kwassa]

7. With Beck blind, and Limbaugh deaf, will O'Reilly go dumb?

Oh, I'm sorry. He already is.

[AnArmyVeteran]

18. Limblah, Beck & Hannity, three monkeys of evil...

Limblah, Beck & Hannity

Speak only evil,
See only evil,
Hear only evil...

[JoePhilly]

8. He is already blind ... plus deaf, dumb, stupid, manic, paranoid ...

... and he might have more personalities than Lindsey Lohan.

[cynatnite]

11. My understanding is that it worsens over several years and it doesn't happen suddenly...

I think he's milking this thing for all it's worth. His vision may very well worsen, but going legally blind? I don't buy it.

[Lint Head]

12. He's a liar. Why would he all of a sudden tell the truth?

[dhpgetsit]

13. It's not impossible.

I have known a couple of people who were legally blind in their 40s due to to macular degeneration.

At the same time, I can't imagine why I should pick today to believe a word that stinking pile of human waste has to say.

[Catshrink]

14. My dad got it at age 55 and was totally blind 20 years later

his vision gradually decreased in that time but, after a doctor did a laser treatment that went bad, he lost all his vision. It was so sad.

BecKKK called it "macular dystrophy" but I think he meant "macular degeneration." Did you notice that?

[Lint Head]

16. This is from WebMD.

Macular dystrophy is an autosomal recessive condition, which is the least common but the most severe of the 3 major stromal corneal dystrophies. It is characterized by multiple, gray-white opacities that are present in the corneal stroma and that extend out into the peripheral cornea. Examples of macular dystrophy are shown in the images below.

Karma can be hell. He made fun of the blind in 2006.

[Catshrink]

21. Yeah, Karma's hell

but, even though BecKKK is deserving of some, after seeing my dad - and now his two sisters - go through it, I can't wish it on him.

Thanks for the info.

[Contrary1]

17. Macular dystrophy is different than macular degeneration...

Not saying he does or doesn't have one or the other.

[Catshrink]

23. Thanks.

[Bitwit1234]

19. Macular degeneration is a real disease a lot of people have it

BUT it takes years to fully develop. And to delay the process there are vitamins, and you should eat green leafy veggies. If that's what he has he is making a mountain out of a mole hill trying to get sympathy. Gee most of you are probably walking around with the beginnings of this and don't even know it. This guy shows more and more each day that he is certifiable.

[rustydog]

26. maybe the doctor called Beck a non-muscular degenerate and

he heard macular degeneration?

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

20. If it's true (which is doubtful). How is he going to explain that Obama + Stalin/Hitler by

drawing an arrow from one photo to another, when he loses his sight?

[DinahMoeHum]

24. Assuming this is true, Lady Karma kicks his ass AGAIN. Big time.

Glenn Beck apparently didn't see the light the last time Lady Karma smacked him around: months after he mocked a fellow DJ in Phoenix for his wife's miscarriage. Beck's daughter was born with cerebral palsy.

If you can, please read Alexander Zaitchek's book Common Nonsense, just recently out.

:evilfrown:

[rustydog]

25. Beck has been blinded by hate for years...He lost sight of humanity

way back when and now his eyes may be failing him.

I would not wish blindness on anyone. That doesn't mean that God hasn't wished it on anyone.
