You’re spot on–I was born in ’60 and just missed the age of “Father Knows Best.” Wonder if Beck had to “duck and cover”? I know we did.

My wife made a great point: Remembering back to a simpler time is nothing more than pining for ignorance. Sure life was simpler when you were young–what did you really know?

Keep it up, William. I like your blog and I want to see this jackass go down. He’s a charlatan and a nincompoop at that. I believe he’ll crack. Segments like this show he’s hanging by a thread.

Thanks a bundle for your comment, which I moved from the “About” page. You inspired me to write the piece to which it is now attached.

You’re right, there is a subtext and it’s not pretty. Wouldn’t it be fun/horrifying to be Beck’s psychoanalyst? Think of all the ugly stuff you’d find.

Any time you grab a great story like this please post it or email to wexler@glennbeckreport.com.

Cheers,

On Glenn Beck Cries again:

A little psychoanalysis is in order to decipher the underlying message about, ” your dad was right.”

Notice how he cries hardest at 3:40 when citing “in the long run, you will look at your children….(cries) you hated it… you hated the things you did at the time… because they were hard… (cries) But your dad was right”.

That’s him addressing his own children while carrying the horrible burden of guilt he bears for dividing this nation with his unceasing attacks on our popularly ELECTED president in order to make boatloads of money.

He’s trying to justify his actions to his children when he knows in his heart just how wrong he has been. Unable to bear the guilt, he tries to convince the audience and even himself, “but your dad was right.”

Clearly, he’s conflicted and starting to crack from all that guilt he feels yet must suppress in order to go on .

Give it another watch… that’s the subtext.
