Crawl inside Glenn Beck's mind

Being John Malkovich style at Independence USA!

1. If you're a Glenn Beck fan, this article isn't for you.

2. Sometimes there's curse words or blasphemy in the sidebar headlines, so if you're Amish or something, don't go there. But if you have a problem with curse words, how have you survived on the internet? :)

3. Before the whole "Daily Kos is a liberal rag spreading propaganda to prepare the way for zombie Hitler's return" conversation starts, I'm not recommending it as the sole source of news in your world, I just like the article and wanted to share.

Just wanted to make sure no one sees something they don't want to see.

Has anyone here seen the movie Westworld? How long do you think it'll take for that to happen in Independence USA? I'm giving it a week.

Joke adapted for a younger audience: Has anyone seen the movie Jurassic Park? How long do you think it'll take before the electric fence goes down and Glenn Beck starts eating the tourists?

If you are a fan of Glenn Beck and want something less biased, here it is straight from the horse's mouth (or some part of the horse anyway):

I'm thinking more like a dystopian Country Bear Jamboree run amuck than Westworld.

A little thing, but as a gardener I love how "visitors" would - "learn" how to farm in an area that

would immediately and continually attempt to develop into a vicious weed patch. (Mother Nature believes in very negative feedback to those who would destroy her creations.) What's the point of "learning" to farm without going on to farming, anyway?

Loved it, thanks. I'm with the author. I WOULD donate - just to see the reports from the inside... nm

Instead of Westworld, I'm thinking more like Rapture... above water, - of course - PCD

And then racking my brain trying to remember where else I'd read some funny BioShock comments recently (The Mary Sue, maybe).

You might enjoy this if you haven't seen it already:

It was a bit of a coinkidink that SO and I - PCD

[ In Reply To ..]
had dusted off some old games and were totally immersed in everything Bioshock when, soon after, the whole Paul Ryan/Ayn Rand talk was hitting the news... actually, it was kinda creepy. Almost as creepy as Glenn Beck's utopia *shudder*

Anyhow, we have been salivating for several months now waiting for Infinite, in which, according to what I remember from an interview I saw a few months back, the story line gets some inspiration from the OWS movement, so I'm curious to see what they've done with it.

Evolve today!

I agree - I disagree

I agree with his political viewpoints.

I disagree with his religious ones.

I must have missed Glenn Beck's turning six months ago, but saw this current interview on CNN this weekend. The second part is next weekend. I'm curious as to whether anyone has any thoughts on his realizations. Genuine or fiction? Is he the beginning of realization of the Fox News indoctrination and damage? He says he regrets the time he spent on Fox and basically apologizes for the damage done. (I claim this as a realization for Fox because I feel he was a p ...

Just had my monthly Beck dose. He was agreeing that conservatives were creative and growers while progressives (communists, really, he said) are oppressing all the poor people!!!! Beck has got some money-making scheme where his loyal followers can go to a movie theatre and watch his LATEST installment of redemption via the Christmas sweater book he is milking for all its worth. In the preview, he looks just like an evangelist standing there in the spotlight. The interviewee mentione ...

Beck said the birthers' (often-debunked) claim about Obama's citizenship was the "dumbest thing I’ve ever heard." The birthers are only "discrediting themselves" with their idiotic statements, Beck added. http://voices.kansascity.com/node/7116 Rick Sanchez is reporting on a new investigation the Secret Service is launching of 6 or so of the birthers more outspoken proponents. That should prove to be an interesting story once it starts to unfold. ...

I know a lot of you hate Glenn Beck, but maybe this would give you some insight into him. As you all know, he doesn't hide the fact that he is an alcoholic like some do, and speaks his mind, which i why a lot of people don't like him.

What he doesn't mention are the REAL reasons Bush/Cheney went to war with Iraq, but whatever.

Liberals, you were right, we shouldn’t have.” ...

Beck had a lot more to say than just making a mistake about Iraq. It was quite powerful and actually chilling at times with regard to his perceptions and predictions, some of which have come to pass. At the end of his segment, he urged everyone to come together as Americans for the good of the country. ...

Yet another controversy appears to be brewing around Fox News host Glenn Beck. Some are accusing him of a blatant conflict of interest concerning his frequent on-air promotion of an investment sold by one of his main advertisers: Gold. For some time Beck critics have cried foul over his relationship with Goldline International, a precious metals vendor that features the TV and radio host's endorsement prominently on their website. Critics charge that Beck is guilty of mis ...

During his much-ballyhooed "Restoring Honor" rally on Saturday, Glenn Beck told a whopper involving the founding father who was supposedly unable to tell a lie: George Washington.Speechifying at the foot of the Lincoln Memorial, the controversial Fox News host highlighted the legacy of the nation's first president to drive home his claim that encouraging honesty and integrity was a main aim of the event. Beck even told attendees that "the next George Washington" was "in this crowd. He may b ...

While they were talking about Bozo being on Entertainment Tonight, and the other guests on the show, at one point they played the Ent.

Glenn Beck on Tuesday announced that he will be bringing tractor-trailers full of food, water, teddy bears and soccer balls to McAllen, Texas on July 19 as a way to help care for some of the roughly 60,000 underage refugees who have crossed into America illegally in 2014. Beck said he will be joined by Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah), Congressman Louie Gohmert (R-Texas), and a number of pastors and rabbis." I listened to his show yesterday and he had point about Honduras and how the Obama administr ...

morning? I was off today so tuned in in the car. He and Pat Gray, I think it was, were doing a parody of comments Obama "could have made" on E.T. They even had the E.T. music to go with it. It was hysterical.! When you really stop and think about it, it is kind of funny for him to choose E.T. to make his case rather than a liberal-biased station (it would have been so easy to choose one). Instead, he chose a little rinky-dink show to tout his littl ...

Oh dear! I wonder if the people of Israel will think he is their Messiah! Glenn Beck announced on his radio show Monday that he is planning to hold a rally in Jerusalem in August called "Restoring Courage." Beck's "Restoring Honor" rally drew thousands Washington, D.C. in August of 2010, but Beck said that drawing as many to Jerusalem will be more difficult. Beck went to Israel and Jerusalem last week. He warned his listeners on Monday that he thinks disaster is imminent for Israel ...

Beck is going to end up hanging himself.On his daily radio and television shows last week, Fox News personality Glenn Beck set out to convince his audience that "social justice," the term many Christian churches use to describe their efforts to address poverty and human rights, is a "code word" for communism and Nazism. Beck urged Christians to discuss the term with their priests and to leave their churches if leaders would not reconsider their emphasis on social justice."I'm begging you, y ...
