There's some hilarious comments being posted on the YouTube version.

Glenn Beck Tells Viewers That He Is A Clown Who Needs "Walls And Gates"

Jason Linkins

Are we going to have another instance of Glenn Beck's famous fake tears? I think so! Maybe by week's end! Beck's raw emotions are building in some direction, so that's why, via Media Monitor Jon (of News1News fame) we have your daily update of Beck's escalating melodramatic pressure!

Today was really sort of beautiful, like a swan!

BECK: You know... I... I'd really like to share with you a personal story from today, but I can't, because it puts my family in danger. (1) Do you think I want to get on the air every night and tell you this stuff? (2) Do you know who I am? The media will say "he's just a clown." Well you know what, I am a clown. (3) I am a guy who just... I -- I -- I -- I... I just want to have laughs and fun, I'm a capitalist, I want to make money, all that stuff. (4) I want to live my life with my family. I don't want to have to live with security, and walls, and gates, and everything else. Do you think I want to live that way? (5) Maybe there are some people like that. That ain't me. That is not me. I don't want to believe these things, but unfortunately I find them true. (6)

(1) - This from the person who http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/01/09/glenn-beck-i-had-surgery-_n_80800.html">overshared his butt surgery? If that didn't put Beck's family in danger -- of abject humiliation-- it's hard to know what would! But seriously, let me state for the record that I am pro-Beck and his family living long and happy lives, OK?

(2) - Naturally, I had been assuming that Glenn Beck wants to get on the air every night and tell us this stuff because he is under no obligation to continue doing so if he doesn't want to. He could retire and take up watercolors, if he so desired.

(3) - It sort of undercuts your "the media is mean to me" argument when you confirm their criticisms in the very next breath.

(4) - I think, Glenn, you are succeeding in this endeavor! You are making money, being a capitalist, and offering me fun and laughs! We're all winners here.

(5) - Again, I had naturally assumed that he wanted to live in a http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/50242/">large, secluded house because he made the choice to do so himself.

(6) - Well played, you silver-tongued devil! That you "find" such typically crazy things to be true allows you to assert all sorts of crazy things!

At any rate, I've got a sawbuck on this clown hitting the full Pagliacci by Friday.

1. Glenn Beck is a clown

Edited on Wed Sep-02-09 12:31 PM by Anti-Republician

If he NEVER said anything that wasn't true in his life....He definitely spoke the truth this time. YOU ARE A CLOWN GLENN BECK. You put false information out on your show, you're a fake crier, and you are a idiot. You deserve to walk around with security everyday. Maybe if you speak the truth sometimes then, you won't have to worry about people coming out to get you.

GLENN BECK + FOX NEWS= CLOWNS & IDIOTS

2. Who the fuck listens to him over using/pushing the EMOTION BUTTON?

What segment of our pop sucks for his shtick?

This is the best the GOP has to offer...? How pathetic is That?

If Beck represents the GOP...at least a major segment, they are in a World of Hurt

I see a bus on the horizon approching rapidly

5. Maybe that is the lesson here. OK, you say you want a revolution well, you know

We're gonna free your mind instead. Call for hostilities, get them. Ask for threats on the lefties, get them. Juxtapose the brave Dixie Chicks, and that pathetic baby beck. I hope he dons a sign,will work for security. He should need protection from the homeless he should be among.

7. Oh, poor baby,

Go home to your compound, with its 12 foot high walls, to keep the neighbors shut out, then. He's got a giant mansion surrounded by about 3 acres of grounds, with a monstrous fence. He probably has a big security detail inside and outside the gates. I hope his private Wackenhut crack mercenary team leader, is home right now fucking Mrs Beck's lights out.

11. Security?

To keep him from hurting himself? He doesn't need security--he needs a nurse or a minder.

12. Beck DOES need security!

If he was in a secure and undisclosed location, he couldn't infect his dim-witted followers with his Pied Piper of stupidity routine. :crazy:
