He's a man who said empathy leads to bad judgement.
Therefore we should give him no sympathy, so we don't make bad calls about him in future
It's the way he would want it

I must admit, being blind is something I would never wish on anyone, even someone as insane and delusional as Glenn Beck.

You know, upon reading the news, my first thought was, "Well, I hope he does go blind. I hate him, AND it means he can't use that fucking chalkboard." Then I imagined him trying to do it with some sort of braille interface and some...chalkboard writing robot and got lost in the tangent.

Most likely. Medical care and treatments aren't cheap. And he's likely to take a financial hit from this as well. Combine the two, and if he doesn't need insurance, he will, and they will consider it a pre-existing condition.

While I do not support his views and think him a vile, yellow journalist and a distorter of truth, I would not wish for him to go blind.

On the other hand, since there's nothing I can do to stop it, I might as well laugh if his insurance company refuses to insure him.

Indeed. It would be like that Dark Knight scene where Coleman Reese is about to appease the Joker, instead ends up being Joker's next target, and a whole crowd of Joker-appeasers are in the streets shooting at him. Good old poetic justice.

While I certainly don't wish blindness upon anyone(though, worse can be said of the wishes many in Beck's crew have made towards others), if he goes blind, so be it. If he doesn't, great, now we get political posturing about being right with god blah blah blah. If he does, as unfortunate as it may be, I will laugh heartily at him. Bad things happen to good people all the time, and to terrible people few-and-far-between. That is the real pity, so he will receive none from me.
