Glenn Beck May Go Blind

[Meoru]

Pretty sickening how people can joke about somebody going blind, just because he has different philosophical/political beliefs.

Yeah, huh?

Your so brainwashed by the two party system, and our country is so fucking polarized, that you assume just because I don't want a man to go blind, that I somehow am a supporter of Rush Limbaugh. Really pathetic. Thats why this country is going to shit.

My point sailed right past you, didn't it? Rush disagreed with Michael J. Fox's position on stem-cell research, so he went after Fox personally, saying he was acting or had stopped his meds so he'd be more sympathetic. My point was, it's the same as making a joke about Beck.

Whats your point? Sounds to me like your point is exactly what I thought it was, which is that your assuming I am ok with Rush Limbaugh doing the same shit your doing.

People make jokes. All the time. About everything. When I was a kid we just to sing songs about Michael Jackson blowing up.

Pepsi cola blew him up
now he's drinking 7-up

It wasn't because we disagreed with him. It was because it happened and when you're a part of pop culture, you get what you get. Glenn Beck has NEVER done anything to garner sympathy. He's a horrible man who makes his living committing fraud on the American public. And it's the worst kind of fraud because it can actually affect the outcome of elections.

Being someone with that much power doesn't for a moment cause him to treat it with the level of responsibility such a position should garner. The man has the ability to change the outcome of elections and instead of doing the right thing, he does whatever makes him the most money. He's attack Christianity, civil rights and the very idea of caring for the downtrodden. At what point did he earn any sympathy whatsoever?

I'll admit, I also didn't feel any sympathy for Jeffrey Dahmer and his overall negative effect on America was much, much less.

So your saying since you disagree with his political position, you don't care hes going blind. Gotchya.

And yes, Jeffrey Dahmer is totally the same as Glenn Beck. After all, having a classically liberal political position is as bad as killing people.

Again, no.

Glenn Beck isn't just disagreeing. He's lying. He's lying for money. He's intentionally praying on the ignorance of those who watch him to make money and he doesn't care what the effect is. His opinion is for sale. We have no idea what his opinion really is. Because he'll say anything if you pay him to.

Jeffrey Dalmer only hurt a few people. Glenn Beck's influence is far more extensive. If he caused even one good part of a bill to tank, the effect he's had on our society is exponentially worse.

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?

Nobody deserves to go blind, but I'd have to strain myself to find pity for him. I didn't celebrate when Jerry Falwell died, but I didn't mourn him either.

[Geniasis]

I never knew he was from Washington. Makes sense...

I found that hurtful.

It would be quite a shame for Glenn Beck to go blind. The best people are the ones who the left hate the most(this rule does not apply to people who are hated by both left and right like Hitler) and even though Glenn may still be able to be active(examples tv show and political columns) he might not be able to be as active and thus he may be less effective. I sincerely hope he gets better and I will be keeping him in my prayers.

Thats not evidence

[West Germanic Nations]

The best people are the ones who the left hate the most

[Whole Conviction]

Thats not evidence

It's not evidence that he IS lying, but it's enough of a history for me to not trust anything he says until it's backed up by credible evidence itself. I have no idea whether he's lying or not, but coming right after a ratings slump, this sounds like goddamn convenient timing. If he IS going blind, then of course it's not convenient and it sucks. I'm just not convinced -- colour me skeptical.

[Risottia]

What are your thoughts?

Shit happens both to nice people and to non-nice people. This time is happening to a non-nice guy. So what?

[Geniasis]

The best people are the ones who the left hate the most

+10 for blind partisanship!

Because it's always easier to generalize than take a look at individual people and issues.

Well I hear people call him a liar all the time, but when they provide evidence its just somebodies opinion.

[Tungookska]

too bad hes not going mute

You never read my posts before, did you? I'm a "leftie" myself.

The mixture of laughter and clapping clearly indicates that I find this to be quite a hilarious contribution.

Here ya go.

[Katganistan]

I agree with literally nothing he says and hate the way he says it. However, I hope that there is some way they can stop or cure this degeneration -- I don't wish harm to him and I certainly hope he doesn't lose his sight.

[Rambhutan]

I look forward to seeing him being savaged by his own guide dog on youtube.

[Unchecked Expansion]

I'd be sympathetic, but someone already posted that he hates empathy. So I'll follow his wishes and not give a damn.

[Desperate Measures]

Trying to gain empathy....nope not happening.

Typical unfeeling commie liberals. Only care about the rights of criminals and terrorists, not innocent unborn babies and good, God-fearing, freedom-loving Real Americans.

I love this view of the left.

[Reaganomics and Co]

Not that he deserved to go blind... Anyway, from what I'm hearing on NSG, he should have lots of money stashed away somewhere so he can afford to go blind? And he's nowhere as blind as "progressives".

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought this.

[Southern Patriots]

I really hope he's ok and doesn't end up going blind.

[Tungookska]

hes probably going blind from all his sinful masturbation

[Selaguere]

All the hate here for a man who states to not take his word for what he says, but to go verify the facts for yourself.

One might just want to take a moment...

What if he is right?

If he's right then he has a progressive disease which may blind him.



What?
