1. I'm sure that some portion of them are dope smoking hippies. My question is...
Edited on Tue Feb-22-11 07:20 PM by TroglodyteScholar
...so?

Edit: After hitting the Post button, I was reminded that Qaddafi is accusing his opposition of being under the influence of hallucinogens. I guess this assumption just comes naturally to the Becks and Qaddafis of the world....

36. I'm sure most of them are not
Most of them are decent, hard-working citizens of the USA, and I venture a great many of them are veterans of the Armed Services, and not confirmed chickenhawks like Beck and his bucket of phony tears.

40. Dope-smoking hippies
are also hard-working citizens of the USA, a great many of them are/were veterans of the Armed Services. Why would you think they weren't? :shrug:

45. Didn't say they weren't
Just made a wild know-nothing statement to counter the Beck bullshit know-nothing make up crap.

I have no idea what the personal history is of any of the citizens in WI, nor does it matter. They have a right to stand up for their rights. Nothing could be more American or more patriotic.

54. Excuse me!
I am very decent, very hard-working, born and raised in the USA... not a chickenhawk... don't do phony tears... total hippie mentality, except that I bathe a lot... and I'd smoke The Weed every day if I could!

I'm not sure where you're getting this... but it's really bogus.

2. That wouldn't work. The lies are a part of his soul.
In fact, he's started to believe his own bullshit, which is driving him mad with cognitive dissonance. He'll completely break-down on the air soon.

Does he get his inspiration from Glenn Beck, or is it the other way around?

7. The last few hippies....
Edited on Tue Feb-22-11 07:21 PM by Davis_X_Machina
...are up here in Maine, driving clapped-out Volvos, running MOGFA and raising llamas, God bless 'em.

They're pushing retirement age, or have passed it. The ones with money are getting knee replacements because they can't do yoga any more, and the ones that aren't eat ibuprofen like Skittles and swear a lot.

How long are they going to be able to scare us with 'hippies'? They might as well try the hideous specters of zoot-suiters, or flappers.

14. Beck is a coward.
He's not fit to shine the shoes of those firemen, policemen, utility workers or teachers. He's a typical bully who shouts from a distance but when you get up close and he sees what you're made of, he pisses his pants like the coward that he is.

20. I remember in 1984 a co-worker called someone a hippy
Edited on Tue Feb-22-11 07:54 PM by senseandsensibility
and I, being in my early twenties, said in genuine surprise, "Hippy? I haven't heard that in a while. Are you serious?" It shut him up; I think he realized how old and out of it he sounded. That was more than twenty five years ago, and Beck is using it now? I guess it works with the senior citizens that watch him.

43. What the hell is patchouli oil?
And why is it whenever someone talks about pot, someone mentions it?
It's not like it was that popular, was it?

Certainly not as popular as Hai Karate.

sorry for those who like it...

the aroma is so strong it can mask all sorts of odors, apparently. a friend of mine who used to be a bike messenger in NYC (and who lived in Hell's Kitchen) said the pros would reek of it as he passed by...

38. This from a self confessed alcoholic/drug abuser?...
I think I detect some serious projection here.

For one thing, Beck is so far from reality, I would not be surprised if he were diagnosed as paranoid schizophrenic. His own abuse of alcohol might have changed his brain chemistry to the point where, he is little more than the classic "dry drunk".

Since he's also sitting on top of delusions of grandeur, and appears to have an extremely high notion of his own self worth. Despite being remarkably ignorant and his use of props like chalkboards, he pulls his "facts" out of thin air; facts that equate to nothing more than wild conspiracy theories dressed up to look like "reality".

He's most certainly delusional, and he has deluded others into his way of "thinking".

Since I am not educated to a high degree in the art of psychology, I cannot make a legitimate diagnosis, (beside the fact no one trained in any of the medical arts and considers themselves professional would ever make a "distance" diagnosis), but I can take the layman's way out and simply state what most people would find obvious...he's friggin' nuts.

I really hope he just cracks one of these days so much that he can't be on the air. He's already cried on camera a bunch of times and promoted American Bund propaganda. Just one of these days, I hope he ends up in a padded room.

51. Wow, that's what Qaddafi said about the protesters in Libya in
HIS rambling, psychotic speech last night also. He said they were all drug-addicted rats or some such thing.

These rightwing lutatics have so much in common with their counterparts in dictatorships.

The world laughed at Qaddafi's insanity, even as they were chilled by it, but will the U.S. give the same treatment to our very own would-be dictator and finally remove him, for own sake and ours, from the airwaves?
