Showing posts with the label Glenn Beck makes me cry

The problem with Glenn Beck

Image
I have made fun of Glenn Beck before . But I actually agree with some of the things he believes in, which is why he bothers me even more. Murray Rothbard explained the problem nicely: While [his] own intense emotion might seem a valid basis for [his] own political philosophy, this can scarcely serve to convince anyone else. By ultimately taking [himself] outside the realm of rational discourse, [Beck] thereby insure[s] the lack of general success of [his] own cherished doctrine. Beck's passionate antics give the impression that Mormons and Libertarians are also irrational. If you want to learn about Mormons, go here . For Libertarianism, I recommend Ron Paul and Rothbard (also available as a free podcast).

Beck's phony cry

Glenn Beck puts Vick's Vaporub under his eyes to help him cry. Though this shoot is probably for the back cover of his new book, it's interesting to note that he says "My eyes are getting used to it." Beck's new book teaches his followers counterarguments to use against his opponents, for his followers who yet again are encouraged not to think independent thoughts. Also interesting that the "spontaneous" tea baggers say that they protest because Beck told them to , and that Fox News supports them. That's the difference between real news and Fox. Real news reports on the events, Fox creates events to promote its political agenda.

Glenn Beck and I finally agree

McCain would have been worse than Obama. " How about this? I think John McCain would have been worse for the country than Barack Obama. How’s that? " - Glenn Beck

Ground floor of the 9/12 DC march

No wonder most news networks gave air coverage. It's scary on the ground. Click here to watch "Jesus is our king." "Obama is the anti-christ." "This wouldn't have happened without Glenn Beck." "Glenn Beck is so logical."

Glenn Beck gives Mormons a bad name

Here's a clip on talk radio hate speech. Why does hate speech mostly come from the Right? This isn't the first time Beck has fantasized about killing someone. "I think he could be looking me in the eye, and I could be choking the life out of him. Is this wrong?" His moral compass is skewed to the right.
