FOX: "Obama is a Fascist Socialist"

Post by Pulp Hero »

I'm no fan of Glenn Beck, not by a long shot. I've always considered him the poor-man's O'Reilly. But today at the gym, I saw him do a segment, so crazy, ignorant and, fantastically distorted that it could have been ripped straight from a Daily Show joke about how crazy FOX news is. This has propelled him to the top of my "sick enjoyment" scale.

Wait for it


That's right, Obama is a leading us to a Stalinist brand state by capping the salaries of CEOs from companies helped by the bailout. You know, that accountability thing.

I can't believe Glenn Beck had his own segment on CNN. He surely fits in with his new Faux News friends.

I remember when Beck was a morning-show comedy hack based in CT (I was in Jr. High at the time, and listened while on the bus).

He should've stuck with that gig. He wasn't funny then, either, but at least he didn't have a national outlet for his idiocy.

How the FUCK does this pass as journalism? It would be amusing if I didn't know this guy was serious.

Uhh... the fascists were innately opposed to the socialists. The communists didn't try to keep the market afloat with bailouts. Glenn? Do you not understand anything from history, you stupid bastard? Someone needs to play him that video of Greenspan admitting his Randroid ideology was wrong, over and over again until he passes out.

God, I hate retarded windbags, why can't they all just die from recreational drug overdoses in gay saunas already? Damn feckless media trolls. This is literally indistinguishable from WeazelNews in GTA.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't this only apply to the taxpayers' money? I find it difficult to understand why Beck wants our/his money to go towards private jets for fuckups.

And yet...not surprised, either.

Remember Glenn Beck's list of rules for true conservatives to follow that I posted here a while ago? The guy is pure douchebag, and one who definitely belongs on my list of People I'd Like To See Struck By Lightning.

I'm not sure what he's trying to say about that. He seems to use it as an example of "socialism" but then later he says "But I agree with that one."

This "Road to Socialism" reminds me of Stephen Colbert's "The Road to Armageddon" segment. In fact a lot of the things Glenn Beck says remind me of Stephen Colbert. You can be the judge of what that says about him.

I left a comment mocking Glenn for being an idiot, and it was deleted. Then I tried to leave another one and it didn't post. I thought youtube would at least post it and then say it was deleted.

Turns out Youtube uploaders can be massive dildos about who they let comment on their videos? Who knew? :)

And I believe Youtube comments were complete shit which led to many people blocking comments and then people blocking them to AVOID comments at all in Youtube 'arguments'.

Some dildos tend to block out comments that they don't like if it really hammers their video or paints them in a bad light. It's almost like they were scared of criticism or something. (Though Youtube comments really are worthless).

The last youtube comment I saw was dozens of people acting like the obviously pre-rendered Killzone 2 trailer was ingame footage. I'd block that shit too. :)

Going back to Glenn Beck's Conservative Commandments, I find it amusing that he speaks of "true compassion" but also speaks of how people should never be "protected" from the "consequences of failure". Yeah, that's true compassion all right.

We try to give everyone a fair shake, but it's hard to know how people will be in the long run. Just remember, not all Mormons are conservatards- Especially in California. I voted for Obama, support science being taught in schools and religious practice being removed from classes, and believe that governments should live in fear of their people. This guy is a ridiculous cartoon and it irks me to no end when other LDS people talk about how great it is to have a Mormon on Fake News. :roll:

To be fair, I wasn't saying that it reflects badly on the Mormons for taking him in. I'm just saying he's a hypocrite to take support from the Mormons and think it was right when at the time he was definitely a failure, and now later to espouse that people should never be "protected" from the "consequences of failure". Of course this hypocritical gasbag probably gives himself all the credit for his "hard work" at becoming an infotainment noise machine.

I didn't think you were giving Mormons a hard time, so don't worry about that. I'm irritated when people look at him and think "That's what Mormons think!" or "He's a mormon, that's what WE should think!". There's an LDS song which I think is probably one of the most appropriate sentiments for right now:
"Because I have been given much, I too must give;
Because of thy great bounty, Lord, each day I live.
I shall divide my gifts from thee,
with every brother that I see
who has the need of help from me.

Because I have been blessed by thy great love, dear Lord.
I'll share thy love again, according to Thy word.
I shall give love to those in need;
I'll show that love by word and deed:
Thus shall my thanks be thanks in deed.
"
I remember a line about "Do unto others" somewhere, and "Love one another". Over and over I keep hearing conservatives justifying abandoning the poor because "it's their own fault". I doubt there's a single one of us that has had their life greatly affected by another's charity, so why try to legislate against it?
