It's the spirit of the Founding Fathers and MLK and Ronald Reagan haunting him and making him go blind for twisting their words and thoughts.

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.

Me either; nothing is too sacred to make a joke about as long as you stay classy about it.

I wonder, if he goes deaf after this, would he gain a sudden proficiency for pinball? He's apparently going blind, and he already is dumb...

Southern Patriots wrote:Perhaps he will go blind, but shall still be able to see. See liberals and marxists threatening America. And his followers will begin to worship him with an even stronger religious zeal.

Until finally, after foiling a liberal plot to eliminate his show, he shall step down and wonder into the desert of some red state to die. Conservatives will repeat, "They say he has gone on a journey... into the land where men walk without footprints. He will not be found. Yet all men will find him."

And then many years later when the conservative movement again seems lost, a blind man will return. He will urge civil disobedience against the conservatism, and warn of the consequences of right-wing America, attracting an ever increasing number of followers.

Finally, he shall be killed, and reveal himself to his closest follower. Admitting he was too afraid to follow the Golden Path of Conservatism, and now it is up to someone else.

You are apparently a fan of well known and famous satirist Glenn Beck, and you seem to be following in his footsteps. Congratulations.

Anyone who gets their news from Glenn Beck, Bill O'reilly, Keith Obermann or Rachel Maddow, etc; (anyone on Fox News or MSNBC) is already blind. 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!

At least he's seen the world, but if he's going blind (or already is) maybe he won't fear everything.

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.

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.
