OPINION

Beck Dons GDR Getup: Too Timid to Do Nazi?

Host scales new heights of stupidity for cover of Arguing With Idiots

By Rob Quinn| Posted Sep 5, 09 6:20 AM CDT|

(Newser) – Glenn Beck's decision to don an old East German army uniform for the cover of his latest book is as ridiculous as the paranoid rantings that no doubt lie within, Silbey writes at the Edge of the American West. It's not clear what statement Beck's trying to make, Silbey notes, although it could be "Obama wants to make us all Communists" or possibly "I wanted to dress up in a Nazi uniform, but didn’t have the courage.”

Trying to decipher Beck's motivation in bringing an outfit from a failed Communist state out of mothballls is probably futile, Silbey decides. With somebody like Pat Buchanan there's at least some thought process, however twisted going on, but Beck's "impressively stupid" statement with that uniform "is simply gibberish; gibberish, I now realize, that resembles his malign rantings pretty well."

There is no thought-process that led to Glenn Beck dourly wearing the dank and musty relic of a failed example of a failed movement that is not moronic, and unworthy of even the words ‘thought’ and ‘process. - Silbey

beck is teetering on the edge of being certifiable. if he really believes the conspiracy stuff he spews out to the fixed news masses then it's time to call in the men in white coats to take him away to the funny farm. of course he knows mostly when to stop pushing the envelope - hence the failure to not don the offical nazi uniform.

"Even his own are deserting him along with his sponsors. " Not true. His ratings are better each week. He has more viewers in a less attractive 5pm Eastern time slot than CNN, MSNBC, and PBS combined in their prime time slots. You have obviously never actually watched one of his shows b/c while he is off the wall at times, he does pose questions that should be answered and provides research to back up his comments.

Beck is disliked not because of his comments, but because he is a hypocrite. If anyone else did this, he would be the first person to make a comment or to dig out soemthing they did or said twenty years ago to prove his insane point. Look at his show during the past two weeks, he comes out looking like a victim, as if he has done nothing wrong and everyone is picking on him, yet he's called out others doing doing the same exact thing he is doing now for both ratings and in hopes of bringing back advertisements to his show.

The voting demographics not only look bad for you clowns, but abysmal would be putting a nice spin on it. Crazy people do not get to run the country anymore. Crazy people only sit around and watch one station. His ratings are "shy high" but lets turn the tables around. Lets just suppose all 2,500,000 crazy teabaggin, gun totin, meth cookin, bible beatin "followers" of his is the sum total of that group. Now lets do some math here....120,000,000 - 2,500,000 = 117,500,000. Using batcrazy lunatic math that is abundant with these teabaggin racist fruitbars I'd have to say that wont win too many elections....Unless in batcrazy land 2,500,000 is greater than 117,500,000.

It is sarcastically funny...but you would have to have an IQ of over 100 to get it...which, of course, eliminates almost all of the left wing idiots.

Real Americans do not advocate violence because they got mopped all over the country, real Americans do not go to "war" against other Americans just because they lost an election...and by a wide margin. Dont forget, GW Bush and the clown brigade swore with his puny 50.5 win % and with 51 senators claimed a "moral mandate" and went as far as to say America voted for our policies"...well America once against voted and threw you clowns out by a substantial margin.America voted for liberal policies and I'll quote you clowns.."if you dont like it, leave the country cuz we won".....how ya like that! If Bushs' razor thin electoral victories were a mandate then the Great President Obama ( and yes I mean that!) has a colossal mandate along with the senate and house. Get over you freakin un-American traitors. You cry babies lost. If you think you'll intimidate the popular masses with your pussy ass gun totin you got another thing coming. I hope they push this to the point of no return. I say if they want a war and a fight, we give it to'em....but you better know the sissy cowardly non servin crowd of Beck, Hannity, O'Reilly and of course Mr Hillbilly Heroin himself will never be even close to the front lines because....well..they're cowards, just like their followers. I dont think these small minded pro-Beck followers realize what an incredible diservice he is doing to the party.

Glenn "Wreck"......like a moth attracted to a flame he stunbles around the media world, writing books, going on TV, the internet, doing his act of the enlightened viewer of the evils of Obama and his liberal-socialist-facist (take your pick) gang. That "Wreck" is taken seriously is as frightening as what he spews out. His rehetoric is not healing or hopeful. Obama is leading America to ruin and "Wreck"..our great savior..will continually advise us as to the evils of Obama, et al. What "Wreck" has done to put him in this advisory position is murky. What is his military, educational, business, and political experience if any? These questions doesn't seem to deter the knuckle dragging 'birthers" et al who adore him. He is a divider, not a healer, who wants higher ratings and devises controversies to get them. Watch out! Reply
