Its a tragic thing when anyone goes blind. I feel a little bad about it...

But I keep thinking now he can be literally blind to go with being blind figuratively.

You see (no pun intended), you don't get it. It's easier to laugh then cry.


thus laughing is the most immature response. if you dont have the emotional capacity to learn grief then you will invariably resort to 'jokes'.

Glenn Beck would do better laughing about it than crying.

Sad that he'll go blind.

But Glenn Beck is just a person at the forefront of an idea of liberty.

When he is blind, deaf and dumb, someone else will take up the cross, so-to-speak.

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


Don't forget Sarah Palin, as with her the top three of the republican party finally qualifies for "See no evil, hear no evil, think no evil"! :p

Seriously, though, I wouldn't wish blindness on anyone; I do, however, wish that Beck realizes how ridiculous his positions are, change them, and make amends.

I personally have no problem with laughing at everything... If it can't be joked about, its not important! Nothing is sacred people, let alone Beck. I really hope this opens his eyes to research institutes that accept donations.

I would actually feel perfectly fine laughing at him now.

I find I have a limited amount of empathy to give, as such I find Glenn Beck an inappropriate waste of my limited resources, ergo no pity from me.
