How courageous of him.

The whole "worst people in the world" bit just reeks of a massively sandy vagina. You could at least half-assed TRY and act like you're not just being absurdly hyperbolic and trashing people who's ideas you disagree with.

Also, Since I have a Visa, people that use Mastercards are worse than rapists.

People who use American Express should be tried for treason.

It's a bit melodramatic. But it's rare that he nominates someone that I think doesn't deserve it.

On occasion he puts up someone who raped their daughter or something vile and says "usually this is a joke, but you truly are today's Worst . . .".

He knows it's hyperbole.

Apples and oranges. Olbermann biatching about Ground Zero not having a memorial is different than comparing a political movement (9/12) to the prevention of 9/11. Unless you agree with Glenn Beck on this?

In response to people comparing health care reform to the worst terrorist attacks in the history of the country isn't a good enough time to tell somebody to go to hell?

American conservatives think they own 9/11. They think they own America for that matter. The rest of us are liberal commie traitors in their paranoid moronic little minds.

Let's face it, American conservatives are ALL the worst persons in the world. I hope we get those FEMA re-education camps up and running soon! Won't be soon enough!

Olberman is becoming the Limbaugh of the left - and this is from someone that used to be a big fan. I can't watch him anymore. The self righteousness gives me diabetes.

This whole pundit name-drop "feuding" thing reminds me of that old Spy magazine bit. Log-Rolling In Our Times.

You scream my name and I'll scream yours.

I have remained above the fray. I have yet to hear Ol"bum"man's show. Nor have I heard (from what I have been able to cobble together secondhand through internet heresay) what passes for Beck's barely coherent rantings.

Yes, on my show "rappin with the brapster" we keep our noses clean and are self-contained. Just me my usual mug of delicious Fanta - it's freshtastic! to wet my whistle, and the facts.

Not like those petty hucksters Olberman and Beck. It would be just like Olberman, Beck, hell even that bloated sack of shaite Limbaugh to drag me into this. Oh and Andy Rooney. I am not even going to dignify your challenge to a fistfight with a reply.

Are you a "Fark Independent"?

1. Olberman brings facts, where Republicans bring lies and bullshiat.

2. Rush Limbaugh isn't self righteous?

9/12ers can get bent. If only they knew how utterly repulsive they are, maybe some progress could be made in this country.
Polarizing a population is not the way to achieve anything.

Farking Republicans, GROW A GODDAMNED BRAIN, and WORK WITH US.

If memory serves, we did not have to remove our shoes when flying 10 years ago, and Bill Clinton was busy launching cruise missiles at bin Laden. To which the Republicans objected, of course.

9/11 being used to manipulate the American public to promote a personal and political agenda?

Shocking. Never seen that done before.

I expect that sort of sleazy, repugnant behaviour from a bottom feeder like Beck. It's when the nation's leaders start behaving like him that one wants to get upset.

Beck is an AW. If everyone just ignored him, he'd go away. Likely after throwing a huge temper tantrum that would make 3 year olds jealous...

When your Administration uses 9/11 as a bludgeon to brand your opponents as traitors and to push through a radical neocon agenda, then you open yourself up to attack.

Healthcare reform has nothing to do with 9/11.

You think they'd actually watch anything he says? It's like how any Republican would agree with 90-95% of what Wright says, but they'd never admit it.

Glenn Beck cited 9/11 in opposing healthcare.

That's demagoguery and Keith called him on it.

Keith has his bad moments, but this isn't one of him. Good on him for calling a spade a spade, and Beck a jackass.

/Olbermann really should drop politics though. I'd much rather just watch him interview comedians for an hour. His comedian interviews are great.
 
2009-11-04 09:01:50 PM
i actually saw that episode just because i wanted to see what all the hubbub about glenn beck was, and it had nothing to do with healthcare reform

when it comes to healthcare reform tho, you can definitely find about 9999999999999999x more material of him rambling about communism/socialism, no doubt about that

Oh My God! He used ground zero to talk about the lack of rebuilding at ground zero!

That's so much worse than comparing universal health care to a terrorist attack that killed thousands!

/seriously, do you ever get tired of proving over and over again what a complete idiot you are? Do you thrive on embarrassment?

If a single American is left alive at the turn of the century the terrorists have won.

Sure, Glenn Beck hasn't said it YET, but you know he thinks it. Well, actually he probably doesn't. He strikes me more as a constant reactionary that thinks very little at any given moment.

Remember, she got really emotional about this.

Smitty and article writer are both assholes.

Why do you liberals hate America so much? You sit there, smoking pot in your coastal urban metropolis towns, ruining this country every day you're here.

In a perfect world, a Soldier of God would deal with you. That's what we need; some big event, that really puts those coastal elitist liberals in their place, that just wipes out like 3000 of you all at once. Yeah, then you'd understand that God loves America, and doesn't want your corrupt anti-America policies.

Maybe for the next 9/12 project, Glenn Beck will organize some of us True Believers for that kind of event, and we'll show you how to "write policy" in this country.
