Glenn Beck Wins the Horse's Ass Award

Given that Glenn Beck is a full-time hypocrite about “leaving the family out of it”, and given that he is prone to attacking advocates of issues rather than the issue itself, and given that he’s bat-shit crazy, we here at The Glenn Beck Report can confidently say that Glenn will begin a new attack on Al Gore as soon as today (June 1).

I will be following this story closely and report what he says as it flows from his lying mouth like poop from a goose. Maybe he’ll do a little skit about it, like he did when he was imitating Malia Obama asking her dad why he “hates white people so much”. Oh, but leave the children out of it.

I have a couple of other stories in the hopper. I want to report on why Falwell’s Liberty University, a fundamental “Christian” college, had Mormon cultist Glenn Beck deliver the commencement address. Also, I’m working on my “Glenn Beck – Domestic Terrorist” page which will clarify exactly how and why Glenn Beck is advocating the overthrow of the US government. And, still in the works, “Glenn Beck VS the Fundie Xtians”, part 3. This has been complicated by Glenn’s commencement speech at Liberty U. I believe I have already solved that riddle, and will be reporting on the alliance made in hell.

UPDATE 6/3/10

Instead of taking on Al and Tipper directly, Glenn Beck put up a link to a Newsbusters story (right wingnut lying sacks of shit) that states that CBS News thinks Al & Tipper broke up because of George W. Bush.

Perhaps Glenn has learned his lesson about taking people on for family matters. I don’t think so. He’s not done with Al and Tipper Gore just yet. I have a hunch he’ll try to sneak some more loathsome attacks in later. I’ll be watching you, Glennie…

Teabaggers want to water the tree with blood. Isn't that just typical of right wing crackheads?

In the week before the April 19 armed march on Washington (to commemorate Waco and the celebrate the Oklahoma City bombing),  there have been numerous attempts to revise and whitewash history.  Now that the right wing has lost any political credibility, they have been pushed further to the right and mesmerized by the mindless yammering of the cynical and insane loudmouths in the right wing media.  Glenn Beck is the combination of cynicism and insanity.  His brain is malfunctioning from years of drug and alcohol abuse, a lousy home life, untreated mental illness, and membership in a cult (Mormons).

I am working up a page of Glenn Beck quotes to document his calls to the faithful for treasonous and murderous acts against the legally elected government of the United States.  The following is an excerpt from an email I received from David Swanson, author of the book Daybreak – Undoing the Imperial Presidency and Forming a More Perfect Union.  David Swanson is the co-founder of the After Downing Street Coalition, which describes themselves as

…  a nonpartisan coalition of over 200 veterans groups, peace groups, and political activist groups that has worked since May 2005 to pressure both Congress and the media in order to hold Bush, Cheney, and their aides accountable for crimes and abuses of power. The coalition takes its name from the emergence in May and June of 2005 of several documents that quickly came to be known as the Downing Street Memos.

Daybreak is an excellent book which I would recommend for anyone who is interested in repairing the damage done to our government through decades of laziness and inattention by the electorate.  This book documents the problems and proposes solutions.  I would suggest that the TeaBaggers who look to Glenn Beck ought to do a little bit of research so they have some ideas instead of just running around with guns like a mob waving Gadsden flags and signs with pictures depicting the President as Hitler.  Obviously, they are clueless.  This book would be a good place for them to get a clue.

But I digress. Here’s the quote from David Swanson’s email that I thought was appropriate for the ignorant, Astro-turfing, racist traitors that will be in the streets on Monday, April 19 celebrating Waco and the Oklahoma City bombing.

You didn’t get mad when the Supreme Court stopped a legal recount and appointed a President.

You didn’t get mad when Cheney allowed Energy company officials to dictate energy policy.

You didn’t get mad when a covert CIA operative got outed.

You didn’t get mad when the Patriot Act got passed.

You didn’t get mad when we illegally invaded a country that posed no threat to us.

You didn’t get mad when we spent over 600 billion (and counting) on said illegal war.

You didn’t get mad when over 10 billion dollars just disappeared in Iraq.

You didn’t get mad when you saw the Abu Grahib photos.

You didn’t get mad when you found out we were torturing people.

You didn’t get mad when the government was illegally wiretapping Americans.

You didn’t get mad when we didn’t catch Bin Laden.

You didn’t get mad when you saw the horrible conditions at Walter Reed.

You didn’t get mad when we let a major US city drown.

You didn’t get mad when the deficit hit the trillion dollar mark.

You finally got mad when.. when… wait for it… when the government decided that people in America deserved the right to see a doctor if they are sick. Yes, illegal wars, lies, corruption, torture, stealing your tax dollars to make the rich richer, are all OK with you but helping other Americans… well fuck that.

That about right? You know it is.

After Downing Street

Have a nice day, Glenn, hope you’re enjoying your $32 million.

UPDATE 4/15/10

After having a day or so to reflect on the above post, I thought a couple of updates were in order.

First off, Rachel Maddow did a great job of clarifying the marches last night in the set up for her interview with Homeland Security Czar Janet Napolitano. There is one armed march, one with no guns. Apparently the Capitol Police will not allow gun-toting maniacs into the nation’s public square. However, there will still be one armed march across the river to the point where Astro-turfers believe they can provoke and threaten the US Government (meaning you and me) as much as they want.

Secondly, the Oathkeepers, a group of self-proclaimed protectors of the People (excellent article about them in Mother Jones) have dropped out of the armed march. Apparently they thought some of the rhetoric was too inflammatory. I dunno, if it’s too inflammatory for Oathkeepers, a group that swears to disobey legal orders from superiors in the military and police force, I’m not sure with whom the TeaBaggers will resonate. The ghost of Benito Mussolini?

Thirdly, the link at AfterDowningStreet given above contains the excerpt that I posted. However, it goes on to equally scold the Democrats, who are another wholly-owned subsidiary of Corporation World USA. I chose to use the section above because it is so apropos for the TeaBagger wingnuts in the street.

Lastly, there is a larger point here and I want to make sure it’s not missed. Those of you who get it, please forgive me while I slap those who don’t get it in the face with a large, wet trout. The reason why y’all suddenly got religion over the Constitution is because they’s a darkey in the White House.

Thanks, and have a nice day, especially you Mormon cultists who believe that black people are cursed by God.

Glenn Beck, moderate GOPERs, the very very few that are left, revile you and your insanity

Here’s what David Frum says to YOU… (Listen up, Glennie-boy, he’s talking about YOU).

“No illusions please: This bill will not be repealed. Even if Republicans scored a 1994 style landslide in November, how many votes could we muster to re-open the “doughnut hole” and charge seniors more for prescription drugs? How many votes to re-allow insurers to rescind policies when they discover a pre-existing condition? How many votes to banish 25 year olds from their parents’ insurance coverage? And even if the votes were there – would President Obama sign such a repeal?

We followed the most radical voices in the party and the movement, and they led us to abject and irreversible defeat.

Hmmm. “The most radical voices in the party and the movement.” I wonder WTF he could be talking about.

Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Mike Weiner Savage, Laura Ingram, John Boehner, Michelle Bachmann, Steve King, Eric Cantor, Virginia Foxx, Gretchen Carlson, Bill O’Reilly… the list is seemingly endless.

Frum is exactly right. The intellectual, moderate conservative movement has been shoved out the door by radical politicians and talk show hosts and the radical political entrepreneurs who host them on the airwaves. Rupert Murdoch and Gold Bond powder.

You tried everything you could to kill health care. You made up lies about it. You hired slick PR firms to come up with half a billion dollars worth of negative TV about it. You chatted it up endlessly as socialism, communism, baby-killing, anti-American, un-Constitutional, unnecessary, invasion of privacy, and so on. You lied. Oh, the lies were grand, the conspiracy theories were exquisite, and the whole lot of it did no good for you at all.

FAIL.

To be continued….

Glenn Beck has won the title of “Fearmonger-in-Chief” from the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), snatching the coveted award from the formidable jowls of former Vice President and un-indicted war criminal Richard Cheney.

The ADL has spent most of its life as an organization since 1913 defending Jewish people against Jew-baiting and hate speech. Extraordinary times call for extraordinary efforts, however, which prompted them to do a special report on the anti-government hate speech and conspiracy theories spun by crackpot melon-headed assholes like Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck.

Glenn Beck is well known in rational circles for being a dry druggie (allegedly dry), Cleon-Skousen-spewing Mormon bigot, and self-made millionaire. He’s only in it for the money. Maybe. Or maybe he really believes the crap he says? Who knows?

Congratulations, Glenn, you little maggot. You deserve everything you get, including this award.

They be snakes about....

I have been trying to do my due diligence to keep current with Glenn Beck’s smears, lies, antics, simplistic lunatic fringe gobbledy-gook like the “9 principles”. I could be busier with this, admittedly, but I’ve got another two websites to maintain not to mention trying to maintain my own sanity while wading through the Bizarro-World of Glenn Beck and his copious mouth. He churns out material faster than a pasture full of horses with diarrhea shoots out a substance with similar properties.

But I have waded into the 9/12 Project website armed with a posting account that seems like I need to get a new password every time I try to post there, and also the sense that there may be a few dozen folks lingering in the weeds who could use some mental health help. A lot of the people that go there are like me, more or less in the same category as rubberneckers who can’t rip back control of their eyeballs from the train wreck that’s happening before them. Judging by the posters, quite a few visitors are living the parodies of liberals’ mocking imagination; hate-blind, redneck, racist American Exceptionalism true believers who don’t quite get it yet that the power structure they’re working for is working against them. But some are genuine conservative thinkers, whose opinions are thoughtfully constructed even though their frame of reference is from another dimension.

We want our country back from the darkie

The 9/12 Project website suffers from a lack of focus. First, it’s the home of the “9 Principles and and 12 Values”. If only Glenn had included “Truth” and “Reason” as values (or should those have been together in the First Principle?) We, The People”, its banner menacingly challenges, “Demand Answers.” Being Glenn Beck’s trans-Bectarded apologist site for the nationwide movement of teabaggers who showed up in Washington by the hundreds waving their guns and hate signs about our black President (or showed up by the millions in Michelle Malkin’s photoshopped mind) it has to include a certain amount of empty threats. Ho hum. Like the teabaggers are going to get into a shootout with the US government on our own soil. Maybe they ought to Google “Ruby Ridge” or “Waco” for some background info on how that works out.

But the 9/12 website is also a perfect demonstration of what happened when Americans and the media that disservice us got it through their heads that there was “liberal media bias” which needed to be corrected by “fair and balanced” news. The way this fallacious notion altered news reporting is both interesting and tragic. The interesting part is how so-called “hard news” journalists try to include opposing facts or opinions masquerading as facts in every news story. The rationale is that if the writer does this, they are giving themselves more authority by proving that they do not have an axe to grind. The problem with this is that most news does not have counterbalancing facts, it only has facts. When you are reporting on opinions, there are plenty of those on both sides, but facts are facts and they don’t have a liberal or conservative value. That’s the tragic part; Americans have now accepted reporting on opinion in an adversarial fashion to be “news”. Some people call this “infotainment”. There are better names for it. The best one is propaganda.

A quick survey down the index page of the912project.com will illustrate exactly what I mean. In the news… a link to a Wall Street Journal op-ed by lobbyist Joel Jankowski defending lobbyists against Obama’s policy controlling lobbyist access to the White House. Poor lobbyists, can’t get a break. Another link to a WSJ story about how “Organized labor appears to be gaining the upper hand in the skies and on rails, as labor and business battle for influence under the Obama administration.” A link to a web-published American Thinker article by Randy Fardal (who is clearly out of his ever-loving mind) who suggests that smart power meters could be used by “the bribable (sic) government” to turn off power to those who those who don’t support them. Next, a link to a Washington Examiner opinion piece apparently mistakenly put in the “news” column. This is the second piece (at least) that 9/12 has put up about the NEA funding “Obama’s agenda” and making a load of nefarious and meaningless connections between minor players in “ACORN-style groups” and the “President’s agenda”. I guess that rules out any paintings of black people, poor people, unions, or the words “Change”, “Hope”, and any combination of the above.

Continuing down the “News” column I founds something that truly shocked me. A link to an article on HuffPo by “Freddy Krueger” (played in several Nightmare on Elm Street movies by actor/activist Robert Englund). Englund’s article on HuffPo listed his “5 worst fears” and the top one was the lack of reality-based discussion on health care reform. This, he says, is because of fearmongering by teabaggers and other righties with their “pull the plug on grannie” lies. This story was linked in order to steer teabaggers to HuffPo to trash the comments section. Good luck. They’re moderating comments.

Next up, a link to a chunk of The Master himself, from the Glenn Beck Show where he crows about driving the Republican candidate for New York Congressional District 23 out of the race. Glenn says that this is proof that what he’s doing is working, and I hope he’s right. The more moderates they drive away from the GOP the sooner it will collapse. The very next incongruous link is to a GOP list of “new bureaucracies” that the “House Republican Conference claims are created in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s health care reform bill”. Of course, the Speaker doesn’t really have a bill, but that doesn’t stop them from listing 111 imaginary offices that they claim are part of some bill, with references to the bill. But a quick survey shows that they are double dipping to try to make something out of nothing. An example of this is listing an office and then listing each of its functions as a separate office. GOP dishonesty doesn’t seem to bother Glenn Beck except when he’s trying to bash them out of office.

I am not a racist because I disagree with Obama

Find the Negro at the teabagger party... trick question.

That’s just the “news” column. In the “video” column, a boatload of Faux News propaganda. While I was writing this, they put up the clip from the lying snake of a GOP Congresswoman from North Carolina Virginia Fox, who says that health care reform is a bigger threat to America than terrorists. (They updated the “news” column, too, but I can’t keep up with these lying SOBs, they can lie faster than I can type.) Next: 10,000 attend Tea Party in Houston. (yeah, right.) A propaganda piece by GOP Congressman Mike Pence invoking Reagan against health care reform as “government takeover” of health care. He says “Pelosi plan” half a dozen times and she has none. Pence is noted for gibberish. A piece by self-proclaimed grass roots organization named “Grassfire.net” which also lists Resistnet.com, two anti-Obama websites, details their attempts to crash the Senate Office Building with anti-health-care-reform petitions.

Next is the notorious Michelle Bachmann clip from her appearance on the Sean Hannity program where she states that she wants people to show up in Washington DC where they can “see the whites of their eyes”. Bachmann has previously suggested that teabaggers should show up for her “armed and dangerous”. Why do they have to see the whites of their congressperson’s eyes? So they can pull out their guns and blaze away, I suppose.

I expect that any website run by Glenn Beck or his minions would have a certain degree of insanity to it, and it doesn’t disappoint. As I am documenting on this site, the 9/12 Project itself is an attempt to manipulate people who are insane from fear into becoming tools for a particularly cruel and demented political/religious agenda. Feed their fears. Stoke them with conspiracy theories. Revive red-baiting, gay-baiting, race-baiting, the whole phantasmal convergence of right wing/Mormon nutjob perversion of human decency. Anything that doesn’t fit exactly into their weird, narrow worldview is labeled with some kind of a “communist” label. That includes people, especially black people.

There hasn’t been an external communist threat to America since the end of the Cold War and even back then it was the threat of accidental mutual annihilation. But that never kept Glenn Beck’s hero Cleon Skousen from seeing a red behind every tree and bush in America. And as Reagan would have said, “There you go again”. Reagan would have gotten a good chuckle out of the confusing interchangeability (to the 9/12vers) of the words “communist”, “socialist”, “black nationalist”, “fascist”, “Nazi”, and “progressive”. l find Beck’s harping on “progressives” to be completely amusing. Glenn, the opposite of “progressive” is “regressive”, which fits you to a TEE. The opposite of “social” is “anti-social”, which also fits Glenn nicely. I’ll bet when he was a kid he didn’t play well with others.

Glenn Beck without his makeup

They seem kind of dangerous and sad, don’t they?

Can you help Glenn Beck out?

I Want YOU to help re-whiten America!

He is looking for 56 white men to help re-found America.  Glenn Beck says he “believe[s] we only need 56 men today to free our government from the rabid corruption and special interests and to protect and defend the republic and the Constitution of the United States of America. “Re-found America!?”, you ask. “Why should we re-found America?”

Well, according to SOME people, (not naming names) America has gotten too far off from what America was supposed to be when it was founded. That is, Christian fundamentalist white men.

So Glenn’s going to “fix” our “corrupted government” by “re-founding” it. Some of you might consider this to be threatening to overthrow the government, but that’s not it at all. Glenn just sees a problem. The problem is that those people have taken away our country and if they continue to be part of the “problem”, they better watch out.

So Glenn Beck is looking for 56 good men (if you are a white slaveholder, it would be more appropriate) to re-found the country. Together, 56 white men with the right attitude will be able to fix America into the dystopic vision of the dysfunctional mind of the weeping Glenn “I love America so much it hurts” Beck.

Glenn Beck wants to accomplish this democratically, small d, of course.  He will do this by a nomination process.  Think of it! You can participate in re-founding America by nominating one of the 56 men who will fix it!  The suspense!  The angst!  The drama… who will you nominate!?!?

For more information, please click http://www.the912project.com/take-action-get-involved/re-found-america/.

OR, you can just do like I did and nominate yourself.  Send your nomination to: refounders@foxnews.com

Here is a sample form you can use for your self-nomination letter to Fox News.  It happens to be the one I sent in, feel free to use all or any part of it you feel is appropriate.  Cheers!

Nomination for one of 56 re-founders

I would like to nominate myself, William W. Wexler, for the honor of being one of the 56 re-founders.

I would be happy to assist in re-founding America, using the US Constitution as my guide at all times, in the context of having a diverse society of 300 million people of all religions and no religion, black, brown, white, women, men, gays, and whatever, who all are trying to get along after having their money stolen from them by the banks and 30 years of Republicans destroying America.  America belongs to the people, all of us, not to non-persons such as corporations.  It belongs to the laborer on the factory floor, just as much as it belongs to the boss in the plush office.  Yes, egalitarianism, fairness, share the wealth.  I am 200% for that!  Health care for all, fair wage for a fair day’s work, no demagoguery, just plain truth.  We don’t need a sugar coating, we don’t need right-wing noise, we don’t need phony patriotism, we need people like me who love their country and have sacrificed dearly for it.

You may contact me at this email address to notify me of your selection of me.
