Glenn Beck May Go Blind

Postby Rolamec » Mon Jul 19, 2010 5:30 pm

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/38315145?Gt1=43001

I think it's truly sad that Glenn Beck may go blind, I honestly do. Though I loathe him and his fear mongering, I symphatize with anybody who has macular dystrophy, much less any illness.

However in this, I sense a cruel form of irony. Beck who always panders to the right, who ignites the paranoia and all that is ugly and wrong in this country, who tries and gets you to see the connections, will no longer be able too, so the speak. I sometimes wonder if he was already blind, blind to the truth, blind to reality.

Anyway, NSG, there is a point to this, otherwise I would post it on a blog. How should one feel right now? I won't lie, I hate this guy. At the same time, I feel bad for anyone who would lose sight, get sick, or whatever. What are your thoughts?

Though I may disagree with his opinions and would argue with him, loudly, on various points I don't wish blindness on him or anyone. That'd just be cruel.
YES. I have returned.

He's already blind. But yes, blindness sucks. I feel bad about anybody going blind.

He announced this on his talk show more than 2 weeks ago, its about time the Dinosaur State Controlled Media picked it up lol.

Must be a slow day for them.. they finally had time to report it... Oh, and he may or may not be going blind... they really arent sure yet.

It really sucks for him, he needs to see for his livelihood, i really feel for him.

It doesnt seem to be bringing him down tho, hes upbeat and lively just as he normally is... that man is strong.

People who denounce the free market and voluntary exchange, and are for control and coercion, believe they have more intelligence and superior wisdom to the masses. What's more, they believe they've been ordained to forcibly impose that wisdom on the rest of us. Of course, they have what they consider good reasons for doing so, but every tyrant that has ever existed has had what he believed were good reasons for restricting the liberty of others.

Eh, I do feel bad aswell. I'm not sure why, but it's just the fact that he's been hated so much and he suddenly becomes blind does give you a feeling of strange emotions on the inside.

Hopefully he gets better. Hell, maybe after he's better, he'll change his life.

If he turns out fine, to him it will just be a "I'm fine so it must mean God thinks everything I do is right!" kind of thing.

Hmmm... Rush goes deaf, Beck goes blind... connection?

In all seriousness though, I'm sorry when it happens to anyone. Hopefully it will not.
