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?

Iris very sad about Beck. You all might think Eye am cornea for thinking like this, but I doubt he will retina his loudness. That's just macula thinking. Who knows, maybe he will become a good pupil and learn from all of this.

Meh.

It does suck to go blind but at least he has the money to deal with it.

Many people get though this all the time.

I have always wondered why the tragic levels are far more for people who are celebrities.....

Those "news" shows are meant to incite, in the name of ratings. C-Span is where its at. Get it straight from the politicians mouths. Not Glenn Becks, etc; ass!


But the politicians are also full of shit. So why would we get lies from that source?

CNN (or MSNBC, though biased) is teh awesome. CNN due to non-partisanship, MSNBC because Keith Olbermann wears glasses like mine.


At least when you hear it, you can call BS. It's not sugar-coated, or twisted around. or out-and-out omitted when you watch Fox or MSNBC. I'll probably take some flak for this, but I think CNN most times runs an unbiased story on a subject.

Sorry no :( But if it makes you feel better they'll probably write it into the script of 'Two and a Half Men,' which I'm not sure is a good or bad thing.

It's a well-known consequence of stroking your own ego. Beck has only himself to blame.
