Glenn Beck’s Crazy Reaches New Levels

Check this out:

So I mean, it really bothers me, this teleprompter. … It bothers me that this man doesn’t — this man is always on prompter. You want to talk about a Manchurian candidate — that’s it! Who’s writing every word for this man? […] Is it bothering anyone else but me? We have a fraud in office, at least that’s the way it feels to me.

He’s always on prompter? Okay, then, Glenn Beck is always forgetting to take his anti-psychotic meds.

Beck goes on to claim that the president is never “off the cuff,” which is absolutely a lie. It’s a flat out lie. No truth to that — whatsoever. When he delivers prepared remarks, he uses a prompter just like every president since Reagan. When he takes questions or appears at a town hall, he’s off the cuff.

But keep going, Glenn. Make sure your listeners continue to blurt out random loud noises and entirely fictional conspiracy theories. There’s still some far-right cred that needs to be obliterated.

    Well, give Mr. Beck credit. See, for years he’s known that the United Nations can beam invisible mind control rays into the minds of people – that’s the only thing that can explain why other nations have universal health care and don’t spend so much of their GDP on their defense budget, instead spending that money on stuff like education.However, Mr. Beck also knows that *American* brains are immune to these mind control rays thanks to a heavy intake of high fructose corn syrup (which is banned in Europe – obviously because they are under the control of the UN mind control rays). Only problem is – Obama, that crazy health nut, is obviously under control of those mind control rays.So when Mr. Beck says “teleprompter”, it’s super-secret-code for “UN mind control rays.” Even when Obama is at those town hall rallies, obviously outside of the range of a teleprompter, Mr. Beck can see the teleprompter running *inside President Obama’s mind*! Mr. Beck can look into the eyes of President Obama, and sees teleprompters running! Writing away, putting up words that the President must say.Mr. Beck is just trying to save the President from the evil mind control rays. And the only way to do that is – go back to doing exactly what George Bush, who’s brain cells were destroyed from those years of doing coke and therefore he was immune to mind control rays.Otherwise, we’ll find ourselves in a country with green energy, universal health care, a reduced military and increased education funding. Which is *exactly* what those evil bastards in the UN want!

    Well, Bob, you *did* throw down the gauntlet there to Beck by flaunting that O’Reilly story. He rose to the occasion.

    There are those who think pro wrestling is real, call Lady Cleo, wear crystals, pray to Jesus, sleep on magnets, own Slim Whitman records, do the mashed potato and swear they never would have ever fucked that sheep if it hadn’t been acting all flirty and sexy.They click over to Beck when Judge Judy is over and LOVE it when he wraps fish with the NYT.Glenn Beck is real. Ain’t asking nobody to trust him, that’s how real he is. He cries. Obama never cries. He just reads. He ain’t real like Glenn Beck.Obama asked everyone to trust him. Glenn Beck never asked anyone. But his numbers are going up. Because he’s the only one who sees it the way he sees it. Truth resonates with people.Glenn Beck is perfectly willing to go on television and suck off a horse if that’s what it will take to get you people to tune in and listen to the message. Glenn Beck will suck off a horse because he loves his country and you, yes…all of you need to see the depths to which he’s willing to sink to get you to see the truth.Glenn Beck will beat a midget to death with a double headed dildo and ass fuck a wolverine if that’s what’s necessary to get America to open its eyes to the path on which Obama has placed us./okay…I’m done now. Sorry about that. Was just sorta searching for some theoretical limit.//couldn’t find one

    See, this is our GAME. Let me break it down for you: We let these douches like Beck and Fournier spout out about teleprompters so now we know that anyone who objects to teleprompters is against us! Uttering the word “teleprompter” will be as good as a kick me sign taped to the back.See, I’m learning from Diabolical Mastermind Michael Steele.Honestly, Fournier and Brietbart know better. Beck, I think, really believes this shit.

    Another news flash for Beck.Obama is the first black President to use a teleprompter!

    One almost wonders if this a throwback to McCain’s “he refuses to do town hall meetings” shtick.Sort of a playground taunt. “You ain’t nothin’ without those shoes…”What sort of idiot would say, “I’m addressing the country tonight about a very serious matter. Aw, fuck it…I’ll just wing it”?It doesn’t surprise me that the tack makes no sense…it’s the effort they seem to put into rowing against the wind that trips me up.

    The man must be insane. He makes O’Reilly look almost reasonable. And a bit pitiful for not trying as hard at crazy.Avram, I think you may be onto something with McCain and the taunts (which seem to work so well with so many–see Earth Archives: Sarah Palin, h/t RA Wilson). We have to hope the “regular” media starts to scream “bollocks”.

    the situation with beck and oreilly is making me sooo very fucking sad.like literally hanging my head type sad.however,this is only because the level of pure rage which these two maniacs have inspired in me as of late has actually begun affecting me on a personal level.i found myself yesterday,nearly screaming at an apolitical co-worker who couldnt comprehend what i found so offensive about oreilly.”he’s just an entertainer.if you were a conservative,you’d say the same thing about keith olbermann”.although i am a big fan,im not a blind olbermann apologist.however,wingnuts who trash olbermann always begin and end with:”he’s fucking crazy”.with little/nothing else in between.as much as they hate olbermann,they cant provide examples of him stalking private citizens,inciting people to violence like beck,blaming rape victims etc…anyway,my point was,ive gone past the point of actual anger.its seriously bad for my health.im just really fucking depressed about the general state of political media.and angry.fuck.fuckfuck.i cant help it.im super pissed,not so much at the two of them,or even at anyparticular wingnuts.crazy,silly maniacs exist.thats the way it is.whats so fucked up is the fact that the msm,the “liberal media”,is somehow obligated to give equal time to these shameless grease stains.if one person is rational,and obviously is supported by the truth,history,facts etc…why is it still necessary to present an opposing viewpoint.republicans have shown absolutely no reason to believe that they are serious people with any realistic plan to provide anything positive for this country.

    If Beck really believes the shit he goes on about than he is truly an idiot.Mr. Hummel, I think you are on to something.

  • blue dog

    You people have got to be kidding me!!!As simple as it may seem, everyone, even the not so intelligent(meaning others besides yourselves, of course), have noticed Obama’s strange dependence on the teleprompter.It’s not some vast, far-right agenda to discredit the president. Mr. Beck just speaks what most of us are thinking, no matter are political leanings.And, PLEASE save your never ending smear campaigns for things that are really worthwhile. Does it make you feel smarter!!!

  • dontpanic23

    Oh, shit, Obama’s doing a town hall right now and I think they forgot the ‘prompter. Epic fail! Where will he find the words?

  • camel54

    Few thoughts, first, did you know that Obama’s hero, Lincoln, actually wrote down his Gettysburg Address before he delivered it? That’s right, Lincoln used the crutch of preparing words and having them ready ahead of time just like Obama does. It’s sickening…the both of them.Second, in a way this is kind of great. Republicans will have to stop using teleprompters as well to avoid criticism and we know how well they do at public speaking.Last, are these people really this stupid? Not just the ones saying but the ones repeating it. I mean, have you never taken a speech class or had to give a speech? This is so far gone it hurts my head.

    bluedog,When your party finds something real to talk about, and comes up with an idea (even one would do) that is related to something remotely relevant to the problems we are facing, we’ll talk.Until then, I’ll just forgo the obvious teleprompter joke about you substituting “are” for “our.”
