Default Glenn "JUDAS GOAT" Beck

On WWCR 12.160 this morning Alex Jones said Beck has lost 500,000
televison viewers. Perhaps the simpletons are beginning to wake up and
see him for what he truly is - a shameless self promoting huckster. It
will be interesting to see how he reinvents himself after his latest
created persona runs its course and flames out. A bright future in
pro wrestling for him perhaps?

By the by, Salon Magazine has a 3 part in depth study about him on
their website: http://www.salon.com/news/feature/20...lenn_beck_two/

From making fun of a ladies miscarriage on the air to disrupting
weddings to promote his show, etc. etc. etc. ad naseum, this clown has
really been a life long piece of ****. Small wonder he has to utilize
the devil made me do defense; "It was the drugs and alcohol". Spinning
his sordid past of debauchery and being a cruel asshole into a parable
of forgiveness and redemption - a brilliant career saving gambit.
Considering his Messiah complex I suppose resurrection is yet to
come.

As H.L. Mencken said; "No one ever went broke underestimating the
intelligence of the American public".

“When we were in Texas, Glenn hated Texans, hated ’em,” Sumpter said.
“Now he talks about how he just loves the people in Texas. He used to
make fun of them—their belt buckles, the chunky jewelry, I mean the
whole deal. And he just hated Mormons.”

It wasn’t just Mormons. Beck’s self-described mantra at the time was
“I hate people.” Despite occasionally sharing the mic with a chimp
named Zippy, despair was seeping in and Beck’s mood swings were
alienating colleagues; one remembered him as “a sadist, the kind of
guy who rips the wings off flies.” His competitive edge could
certainly contain a cruel streak. When he faced off against a former
friend in the Phoenix market, Beck called up the man’s wife on air
after she had a miscarriage and mocked his friend-turned-rival, saying
it was evidence that he couldn’t do anything right—he couldn’t even
have a baby.
