Pray for Glenn Beck

Pray for Glenn Beck

They will say exactly what doctors said about my 21-year-old daughter: "She may not really have a quality of life. She may not walk or talk or feed herself. But then again miracles happen." The "then again, miracles happen" part of that will be left out of the conversation. And I will not be able to see my daughter's 21st birthday, where I can reflect with her how miracles do happen. Because really, as I was told at the beginning of her life: Well, what kind of quality of life is she going to really have? I don't know, but that's for God to decide, not the government. -The Glenn Beck Program, 8/6/2009

3. You betcha I pray for Glenn Beck!
I pray that he sees the error of his ways,
that he comes face-to-face with his
life of manipulating the easily fooled,
and that he must come to repentence..

I pray that Glenn Beck see the humanity in all people,
not just in narrow psychopaths like him,
and that he turn his life around.

I pray for his safety.. seriously.
Because if at any time I might meet him in person,
I would find it very hard to sit on my hands..
and I might slap him into the hereafter.

Oh Lord, protect his fool from angry women like me.

10. You and me both, sister.
And it would be a SHAME to go to jail over a slap fight. Is it okay to pray for wild pigs to show up in his shower?

4. I'm really sick of people like Beck (and Palin)
who use their own children in order to demonize those of us who want health care reform. It's pretty damn low of them.

11. This is Rev Jim Wallis' e-mail campaign he spoke about on Steph's show
Edited on Fri Sep-18-09 09:55 PM by Quiet_Dem_Mom
Rev Wallis called into to the Stephanie Miller show and spoke to John Fuglesang (sub-hosting that day) about this e-mail campaign to target these blowhard hosts and their corporate sponsors re: health care reform lies. It was really an interesting conversation between Fuglesang and Wallace.

Here's the suggested text of the letter to Blechkkk:

Because you are in a position to influence public perception, I pray for you to consider the real impact of our current health-care system on families.

I am so happy that your daughter Mary has turned out to be a miracle for your family, but you are wrong when you say that reform would euthanize other children like her. In fact, it's our current system that too often fails families in need. Consider Mila's story:

Mila's parents just found out that their daughter, who is due in December, has a tumor in her head the same size as her brain. Significant brain damage is near certain by the time she is delivered. She's been given a 15 percent chance of survival, and doctors have already suggested abortion.

The expenses of a complicated pregnancy will cost her parents 20 percent of their modest income, in addition to their insurance. Unfortunately, when they reach their $250,000 cap, they must pay all additional expenses. The multiple brain surgeries and the additional care she may need are likely to spell deep financial trouble.

But their worries don't stop there. Since her parents receive their insurance through the mother's university, her coverage will end in August when she completes her Ph.D. After that, with the possibility of Mila's severe pre-existing conditions, they may not be able to get any coverage at all.

Mila's parents do not fear a future where a government bureaucracy forces them to kill their child. Their fear is much more immediate: If by a miracle their child survives beyond the womb, will they be able to afford the care she'll need once the insurance coverage ends?

Mr. Beck, I am praying for you - praying that you will use your voice to stand up for families like Mila's who need reform to ensure they can have their own "miracle children."

All of the reform proposals being debated include provisions to cap out-of-pocket expenses, end exclusions for pre-existing conditions, and eliminate coverage limits - removing the financial pressures that currently lead many families to terminate difficult pregnancies.

{Spelled Rev's name wrong}

12. To spend an Eternity in Hell with an assful of Hot Coals?
But wouldn't that be tempting Karma?

13. No, to stick his dick in a blender on live TV
for the publicity value--DESPITE the fact that his consultant thinks it's a TREMENDOUS ratings move.
