Beck Blames Earthquake on Humanity Disobeying Ten Commandments, And Other Crazy Stuff
http://www.alternet.org/newsandviews/article/529960/beck_blames_earthquake_on_humanity_disobeying_ten_commandments%2C_and_other_crazy_stuff/

It was only a matter of time before right-wing rant-master Glenn Beck came out and said something insane and insensitive about the devastating earthquake in Japan. Sure enough, he began his radio show with the line "I just want to point out that today's show may be a little apocalyptic" and he went from there, explaining that while he wasn't claiming the earthquake was a direct message from God, "I'm not not saying that either." Listen to a recording from Media Matters below:

1. He'll say whatever he feels like at the moment he feels like saying it
There's no logic, there's no fact, there's no reason, there's no academia in what he says. He says whatever hefeels like saying at the time the mic is open.

Who fucking cares what he says. It is nearly always stupid and sophomoric.

2. If I had to be crazy on tv to earn my megabucks,
I'd blame this disaster on the absence of ritual virgin sacrifice. The gods are very angry. Poseidon is still very pissed that Cyclops is blind too.

3. Then the repugs better quit their lying
because they're breaking one of the commandments with lies not to mention adultery, theft and probably every other commandment. Everytime they open their mouths they're endangering everyone. :grr:

6. Glen Beck is full of manure and it smells like it also.
Beck has the credibility of a snake oil salesman.

He is akin to the worst of the Televangelist that have sullied the radio and TV for years.

What he is selling is a non-existent product.

It is full of the gloom and doom and fear, fear, fear, and hate that is so prevalent in the works of the fundy right wing Conservative Christian movement.

If it does not look like you, talk like you, think like you, act like you, believe as you do, then it is evil to be feared and if can not be converted to be like you then it must be hated and destroyed.

That is what he is selling.

It is hell, fire, and damnation.

He is no different than any other religious zealot, does not matter the religion, all religious zealots are dangerous.

The breed hate and contempt.

They lie, and because it is for their religious cause it is okay. God told them to.

8. They're all hellfire and brimstone talking about the 10 Commandments...
Edited on Tue Mar-15-11 07:47 PM by DCKit
Until you ask them to recite a few.

"Though shalt not steal", "Though shalt not commit adultery" and "Though shalt not covet" in particular, are completely off the Republics radar. The others, well, they just don't really understand the concepts.

They'll lie to get a better place in the line at McDonalds.

9. He's getting desperate
Edited on Tue Mar-15-11 07:47 PM by Canuckistanian
He's losing viewers FAST. Rachel Maddow is catching up to him. His employer won't renew his contract.

Might as well go "Full Fundy" in hopes of rekindling..... anything.

So sad. He once had some evil powers. Now, he's pathetic.
