If that were Obama, beck would have no trouble saying he is sick because of his wicked ways. Maybe beck needs to put the dots together that after all the things he has said, now he is the one suffering. Time to come out before the world and embrace all the PROGRESSIVE ideals put forth by Jesus.

Big long "Glen Beck is the most wonderful thing God ever created, way to go god thanks for making me"

Did he ever say what his horrible affliction is?

In his case, there is no cure.

Important neurological symptoms of Addison's include mental confusion, delusions, and hearing voices. Yes, Glenn, god talking to you was just an adrenal dysfunction.

just because i think he is a buffoon doesnt mean i want him to suffer. best wishes to himand his loved ones.

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]He may have or have had something wrong, but I doubt it's some rare combination of rare diagnoses, and I strongly doubt that no doctors have been able to give him a firm diagnosis. I think he's playing his fan base.

Think I'll wait for legitimate medical confirmation before I believe any of it. Notice how every published story refers back to his self-claimed, self-presented, melodramatic performance on The Blaze?

He's already undergoing a "miracle cure" of sorts, "reversing" the disease process of "several things" and "coming back in a big way." All these doctors and therapists he claims? I want to hear it from them before I believe any of it.

His ratings have been in the toilet. This is just an attention grab because the psychopathic charlatan feels the need to be in the headlines again.

If I'm convincingly demonstrated to be wrong, I'll apologize. Not holding my breath.

It specifically mentions the very firm diagnosis of Addison's, which fits perfectly with his crazy-ass behavior and statements. It doesn't require a miracle cure (there is no cure, just a regime of medications), but you need a doc with enough brains to diagnose it, and a lifetime treatment regimen. His story is hardly unique. I fully believe it, and am frankly amazed that he didn't wind up in a mental ward before this.

Just like Joseph Smith.

He is trying to create a story that his minions will follow.

However I cannot enjoy the physical pain of an individual regardless of how corrupt the individual may be. Regardless of the pain or suffering they may have caused others.

It's just not in my nature as a human being.

Mr. Beck will serve his due eventually.

Sorry folks...

I don't take any pleasure in another's pain and frankly, shame on anyone here who is celebrating this.

Reveling in the suffering of others isn't something that people whom I respect do. It just isn't.

I think he is a non-sensical f-wad, but I don't wish pain on any one.

Yes, I know that now and then I would think about stomping on someone's head... but that is about the extent of it.

I can easily see him playing his followers with this for money/sympathy/attention.

But if he really does have Addison's Disease, then I feel bad for him. I wouldn't wish that on anyone, not even a creep like Beck.

physical suffering, no matter what that person may have done in the past. I guess it's OK on a focused discussion board like this one, but it still seems a bit unseemly and leaves a bad taste in one's mouth. See also why we're opposed to torture.

whatever his illness i hope he recovers.

But I do wish that having been in such pain, and needing lots of costly tests, had awoken him to what a privileged position he is in with regard to access to health care. I wish him maybe just a year without fancy insurance...

suffering is not humane. I don't want anyone to suffer, even those who spout BS and hatred.

I find no joy in this. I would be more joyful if his viewed changed rather than him suffering.

expressions of remorse.

Initiated the Willie Horton ad issue in the 1988 primary campaign against Dukakis. In the general election campaign, the repukes and their then RNC chair Atwater used it to their advantage.

But yes, Atwater was a dirty trickster and his ilk and spawn like Beck are despicable

volunteered for a political campaign), so remember the Willie Horton stuff with an immediacy some here may not have. (IIRC, I also walked precincts for Jesse Jackson in that year's earlier WI primary campaign.)

N.B. Apparently Gore mentioned the weekend furlough program in a debate with Dukakis before the NY primary without naming Horton. But Atwater specifically framed the issue around Willie Horton.

Lee Atwater: "By the time we're finished, they're going to wonder whether Willie Horton is Dukakis' running mate."

Nothing further need be said about Bush's blatant appeal to racial fears and age-old stereotypes. After Ferguson, the Willie Horton ads now seem almost benign.

Thanks for the annotation. Historians and Americanists tip their hats in your direction!

He will keep being the same tool he always has been.

So I just wont care what happens to him.

thats the norm for beck!



btw-if you work hard and do not sleep, you will die! It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out.
and that voice you think is god, its not. you are just insane

to whatever disease has to endure being trapped inside his wretched body.

Threads like this truly make me feel proud to be a part of this wonderful community.

Reminds me of another site that rejoices in liberals' pain and suffering.

Even though he's the type that thinks George Zimmerman putting a hole in Trayvon Martin's body was funny. You know the type. . .

They are sadistic people who enjoy other peoples' pain.

I'm neutral.

Don't care one way or the other. Not my circus - not my monkey.

America, you better fucking wake up, some of us can only scream it at you so many times

Because he thought it would lead to the 'good people' (wealthy white christians) being put into FEMA Camps? Or was that being sold to that guy Ben Ghazi? I can't remember.

being hunted like animals?

That is what they are doing, you know.

or lack thereof. The state of one's health can have a lot to do with how someone views the world.

Rejoicing in the suffering of another being, no matter how much you dislike him, is really low. I'm ashamed to see such a sentiment being posted on DU.

Previous poster said: "Rejoicing in the suffering of another being,..."

You said: "Who said Blenn Gleck was a human being?"


To answer your question, no one did. But the fact remains he is one, and apparently has better reading comprehension skills than you do.

I would never rejoice in the suffering of any living creature.

Seems pretty troll-ish.

In one of the most frightening moments of his life, he was tested for traumatic brain injury and found that he was functioning in the bottom tenth percentile.

While I would love for Glenn Beck to simply go away and never be heard from again in the public eye, seeking joy in his physical pain just is not something I wish to partake in.

Not because of Karma (although something to consider), but because I can't stand watching anyone or anything suffering.

Does it really bring you joy, even if its an enemy? Or is the feeling more like, "No great joy, but he deserves it"?

I'm curious.

I hope he realizes life is too short to act like a sociopathic asshole.

People who enjoy other people's pain suck. Just plain suck.

I hope your wife feels better soon and I'm glad she has you with her.

Mostly it was a matter of eliminating anything cardiac (no history) from the pains she has been feeling. After 26 hours, complete blood tests, and a cardiac stress test there is nothing wrong cardiac or pulmonary so the hunt may continue for the cause or it may just be one of those nerve or getting older things not much can be done about.

For the most part she feels and felt fine. Just those sudden kind of pains and feelings that make you worry, but there were plenty of other folks in misery around us to make me lash out at the callous OP of this thread.

Thanks again for the thoughts.

Hmmmm.

without having miranda rights or whatever the fuck injustice they claim

wrong?

"Beck said his doctors told him he should not have been standing, and only his faith in God had kept him moving. If he had remained in New York City, they said he probably wouldn’t be alive today.

“Over the last ten months, I did all kinds of tests and therapies, which included everything from electric stimulation to weird gyroscope tests like the astronauts use where they’re flipping you around,” Beck remarked. “After months of treatment and completely changing the way I eat, sleep, work and live, along with ongoing hormone treatment and intensive physical therapy, I have reversed the process. Some of the physical scars will be with me for the rest of my life … but my brain is back online in a big way.”

Beck said the story is so remarkable that, if he and his wife hadn’t lived it, they wouldn’t believe it.

During his last day of therapy this summer, Beck took the traumatic brain injury test once more and the results showed him to be in the 90th percentile. He has since received a clean bill of health.

“Rush Limbaugh says he does the show with half his brain tied behind his back,” Beck joked. “With me, it’s actually been true. But now, it’s back online.” "

Is a con artist of the highest order and a hypochondriac. Its just his latest attempt to drum up relevance since he disappeared from the airwaves.

hateful is not a progressive value, honey.

We should mot take joy from the idea of another's pain, however. Can we leave that to people like Beck?

It's written on a third grade comprehension level and filled with weirdness. Anyone who claims to speak to God in a two way conversation is clearly either deluded or, more likely, a grifter.

I'm thinking attention seeking egomaniacal grifter personally.
