The "Glenn Beck is Fucking Crazy" Thread

I figured we could have one, catch-all thread for the crazy things Glenn Beck is doing. I mean, not to take him seriously, because he is a jester. A loony right-wing jester than even his fellow Fox associates are like, "keep away from that guy." But still, it's like a car crash. I have a hard time ignoring it.

So, check this video out from Gawker: here. Watch it to the end. Seriously, it isn't about the guy being a Republican ass-hat anymore. That dude is losing it.

Was CNN holding him back? Is it an act? Or is he seriously that fucking nuts?

I still don't know how you can put somebody so crazy on TV.

Yeah, they belong on AM radio instead.

Anyway, here's a decent montage of his batshit insanity:

What the fuck. I'm glad I don't watch TV.

3 minutes in is pretty fantastic.

It was lacking a lot of context, but towards the end... was that Glenn Beck making Bill O'Reilly look sane?

Yes, your eyes do not deceive you. Personally, though, I don't really think of Bill O'Reilly as insane. A self-righteous dickhead, yes, but not insane. Glenn Beck is the truly psychotic one.

I disagree.

It's weird that Colbert's satire caught up to him. His first show, he talked about knowing things with your gut. Then Glenn Beck came along and actually made that argument, saying that you can know things are true or not true based on the feeling in your gut, implanted in you by God.

I heard about him for the first time last week. Im not even sure talking about God how he does at times you could get away with that on British tv.

Well God tells me that Glenn is messed up in the head . It must be true cause my gut tells me so .

And this, gentlemen, is why I don't bother paying for cable.

Katieesq, but there's the NASA Channel!

Colbert Nails It

You know if you pay for cable you don't have to watch Glenn Beck right? Lord knows I don't.

like any good melt down, it gets worse.

Trolling has moved on to the mainstream media.

True, but I don't see myself watching anything worthwhile except for maybe 30 Rock and Rachel Maddow (both programs I can get on the tubes).

I give newsfauxtainment a great big goose egg.

It's a fun game, trying to decide which one is crazier: Glenn Beck or Bill O'Reilley. I think they communicate secretly so that they aren't both totally crazy in the same news day.

This is why I don't watch television news. I'm disappointed enough in humanity as it is.

Not quite when Glenn uses LOLcats to voice displeasure then we can discuss trolling in the news media.

Hmmm. Have they ever been seen in the same room?

See the video I posted.
