Glenn Beck is to moron as my foot is to kicking his ass. Yes, you are right that made no sense but neither does Glenn Beck. I strain to find another TV/radio personality who is as obnoxious or ignorant as this man.
For those of you who don’t know who he is, consider yourself lucky. He is conservative radio personality and host of a news/”comedy” ( notice the quotations) show. I first became aware of his existence when they stuck him in the middle of my Headline News. I have to point out that I may be the only 20 year old in the world who watches Headline News religiously. Anyways, he starts spewing some noise about how he hates Muslims or how much he hates 9/11 families. Yup. He hates 9/11 families. And hey…don’t forget those Hurricane Katrina victims! They are black and poor. You have to hate that!
Look at this gem!
“…this is horrible to say, and I wonder if I’m alone in this — you know it took me about a year to start hating the 9-11 victims’ families? Took me about a year.”
And this one!
“But the second thought I had when I saw these people and they had to shut down the Astrodome and lock it down, I thought: I didn’t think I could hate victims faster than the 9-11 victims.”
The ignorance doesn’t stop there. He once said to Keith Ellison, the first Muslim ever to be elected to the United States Congressman, that he wanted him to “prove to me that you are not working with our enemies.” Glenn Beck always says ” Now it might just be me…” or ” Nobody else will say this but….” and this is usually followed by some racist, bigotry filled comment or generalization. He honestly believes that he is the voice of America and he’s only saying what people are thinking. Well he is speaking for a few inbred Americans who are burning crosses and wearing white hoods. I hate any television host who talks about the “real America”. Glenn Beck acts as if he is just one of us. Yup…making a seven figure income and sucking off corporate sponsors is exactly what American’s in the heartland do.
When he isn’t being a racist, Glenn enjoys being not funny. He likes making stupid faces, stuttering, and doing bad impersonations of the French. This guy will do anything for a laugh. Most of his jokes fall on deaf ears as his guests sit dead panned while he cracks his 20th joke about how stupid the French are.
Glenn will really piss you off when he gets to his “Real Story” section. This is usually the point where he takes a current news story, adds nothing to it but a few bad jokes and wild accusations, and then claims he is revealing some deep, dark truth to his viewer. He uses stupid, trite catchphrases like “cut and run” and “I’m a conservative but I happen to not be a Republican.” Get some hair on your balls and just admit you are a right wing tool!
After all this is said I still can’t help but watch Glenn Beck. He is so ignorant and so irritating that I can’t turn the station off. It reminds me of that seen from “Private Parts” where the heads of Howard Stern’s radio station find out the people who hate Stern listen longer. Maybe I enjoy being pissed off. I don’t really know why I keep coming back. I will give him this. He is not as bad as Nancy Grace. At least I could kick Glenn Beck’s ass if I met him.
