Glenn Beck wants your sympathy
Glenn Beck Rambles About Botched Surgery, Suicidal Thoughts

Glenn Beck has filmed a monologue on the apparently botched surgery he had and posted it on YouTube.

(snip)

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/01/04/glenn-beck-rambles-about-_n_79833.html
________________________________________________________________________________________


Before I bestow upon you an outpouring of sympathy, let us review your recent statements and opinions:

_________________________________________________________________________________________

Beck to 7-year-old: "You want to go to Africa? I will personally purchase your airfare"
Summary: Glenn Beck relayed a message to a 7-year-old New York girl who wrote a poem titled "White Nationalism Put U In Bondage": "You want to go to Africa? I will personally purchase your airfare." Beck added: "You have to sign a contract that you will never return to the United States."

(snip)

From the March 16 edition of Premiere Radio Networks' The Glenn Beck Program:

BECK: She has told the Westchester Journal News that "white people are devils. And should be gone. We should be away from those devils and we should still be in Africa." I will gladly send you a ticket. You want to go to Africa? I will personally purchase your airfare. I'll do it. It's one-way. You have to sign a contract that you will never return to the United States. Of course, if you go there, remember -- I mean, they seem to be having a problem with the bird flu.

CNN hire Beck: Illegal immigrants are either "terrorists," outlaws, or people who "can't make a living in their own dirtbag country"

Summary: Glenn Beck claimed that there are three reasons that an illegal immigrant "comes across the border in the middle of the night": "One, they're terrorists; two, they're escaping the law; or three, they're hungry. They can't make a living in their own dirtbag country."

(snip)

_______________________________________________


Beck: S.D. Native Americans "have found something that can be more profitable than casinos, and that's abortion clinics"

Summary: On his nationally syndicated radio program, Glenn Beck said of Native Americans who are considering circumventing a new South Dakota law banning nearly all abortions by opening an abortion clinic on an Indian reservation in the state: "Indians will have found something that can be more profitable than casinos, and that's abortion clinics. And then, look out, man -- exploiting everything illegal for profit."

(snip)

BECK: Whatever happened to the Indians? You know, they were celebrating Mother Earth and Father Sky or whatever it is, and that was beautiful and special. Now, it's about gaming, alcohol, fireworks, and abortions. I mean, what happened to the proud Indian?

What fork in the road did Native Americans take? When did they decide, "Ah, crap, it's just not worth it any more. Why don't we turn our precious land into a place where we can build some slot machines?"

I mean, you know, I'm bringing this up not because I have, you know, huge opposition to keno -- casinos and Indian trinket shops; don't get me wrong here. I bring it up because, you know, the Indians are using the whole "You took our land ." I think they're taking that a little too far, don't you?

_______________________________________________


Glenn Beck called hurricane survivors in New Orleans "scumbags," said he "hates" 9-11 families

Nationally syndicated Clear Channel radio host Glenn Beck referred to survivors of Hurricane Katrina who remained in New Orleans as "scumbags." Also, after acknowledging that nobody "in their right mind is going to say this out loud," Beck attacked victims of the disaster in general and the families of victims of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, saying: "I didn't think I could hate victims faster than the 9-11 victims."

(snip)

But the second thought I had when I saw these people and they had to shut down the Astrodome and lock it down, I thought: I didn't think I could hate victims faster than the 9-11 victims. These guys -- you know it's really sad. We're not hearing anything about Mississippi. We're not hearing anything about Alabama. We're hearing about the victims in New Orleans. This is a 90,000-square-mile disaster site, New Orleans is 181 square miles. A hundred and -- 0.2 percent of the disaster area is New Orleans! And that's all we're hearing about, are the people in New Orleans. Those are the only ones we're seeing on television are the scumbags -- and again, it's not all the people in New Orleans. Most of the people in New Orleans got out! It's just a small percentage of those who were left in New Orleans, or who decided to stay in New Orleans, and they're getting all the attention. It's exactly like the 9-11 victims' families. There's about 10 of them that are spoiling it for everybody.

(snip)

_______________________________________________


Hold on a sec. Mr. Beck. You want me to feel sympathy for you after what you said about us in New Orleans, about Native Americans, about 9/11 victims and immigrants? You want to exile a 7-year-old girl for a poem she wrote, yet I am supposed to feel sorry for your candy-ass?? Well, as the saying goes: Fuck off and die. :hi:

9. Well...I guess that private insurance really paid off...he got the
surgery he needed, from the MD he wanted, at the hospital he chose and the pain that comes w/surgery...tough shit on him.

Now when kids can get health care they need, I still won't give a rat's ass about Beck, he got what he needed, as for the doc not to deal w/the pain...too bad. Maybe his ranting about "the greatest medical system in the world" will change.

10. Glenn Beck having botched surgery is poetic justice
He's always bragging that the American medical system is the best in the world because it doesn't have any of that pinko government socialism; how ironic that this system is the one that botched his operation. Maybe he could have got it done right in Cuba?

18. He really seems to have issues with disaster survivors
No need to feel singled out, my friend. Beckkk hates the survivors of the recent California wildfires just as much.

http://mediamatters.org/items/200710230008

From the October 22 broadcast of Premiere Radio Networks' The Glenn Beck Program:...

We come back to the center of the melting pot, that we're all one America, that just because I disagree with you doesn't mean you hate America, and I love America. We all love America. We just disagree on how we should function, what we should do, big government, small government. It doesn't mean you hate America. I think there is a handful of people who hate America. Unfortunately for them, a lot of them are losing their homes in a forest fire today.

29. Here's what one of your neighbors has to say about Beckkk
You really should try to hook up with this guy. He's over by Tulane, I think.

http://ashleymorris.typepad.com/ashley_morris_the_blog/2007/08/fuckmooks-galor.html

Finally, courtesy of doctorjolie, CNN's favorite Nazi admits that he still hates New Orleans. Why does this fuckmook get on CNN? Do they feel they need to give the Nazi party equal time? And is it morally wrong to wish that a fuckmook would die painfully?

(yes, the KamaAina in the comments is yours truly :-) )

34. Botched surgery?
What a wimp.

How about this one Glenn? Try having a mastectomy with reconstruction and getting sent home 23 hours later. Try having that reconstruction fail, and having to fight your insurance company about whether or not the removal of a prosthetic breast that was visibly protruding from the chest was "elective surgery".

Try having that "elective surgery" done as an outpatient, because that was the only way your insurance would approve it. Four hours...in and out.

Try spiking a fever of 106 a few hours later.

Yeah, I feel real sorry about his "botched" surgery...not.

Even Glenn Beck. But that doesn't change the fact that he's one of the biggest lousy dirt bags in this country. It's unfortunate he had a bad medical experience. I wouldn't wish that on anyone, even a complete asshole like Glenn Beck.

but seriously, in the course of two weeks, two people I know admitted to liking him!??!? How could you like this guy unless... yeah, unless you like someone who talks out his ass.

One of the people who likes him is my brother-in-law who asked for an O'Reilly book for Christmas. I guess when you like one wack job, you like them all. God, I feel sorry for my wife who has had to put up with her whole family... bwa ha ha. Talk about a Right Wing wacky family. It's amazing that people who, under Bush, are not that well off, are actually Bush Fanatics?!

Sorry for the mini rant.

54. no problemo
At least your christmas shopping for her family can be done cheaply, as you can go to Wal-Mart to buy their gifts. And Bill O's book can be found for a dollar in the bargain bins. :D

You are right about Bushler fans, like my right wing wacky redneck cousins; they consistently vote against their own interests. :crazy:
