Among us who loathe and despise Beck we are amused to circulate the baseless rumor that he may be implicated in a young girl’s murder. These are baseless and scurrilous charges and some of us are deeply ashamed. ---

It’s worth noting that Beck has remained stonily silent on this issue. This in spite of the fact that, were he innocent, it wouldn’t take much for him to clear the air. Is he guilty? I don’t know. I’m just a regular guy, just like you. But isn’t that the problem? Isn’t the problem that _we just don’t know!?_ Why does it always fall on _us_ to ask these questions. We’re just _asking questions!_ 😉 ---

> [@Monty](#): > > I don’t get the reference. However, didn’t Beck’s mother die by drowning? That was the official story, but we don’t really know what happened. He has never denied being involved in her murder/death. There are a number of open questions that remain and it is being ignored by the main stream media for some reason. ---

Did you see this though at the bottom of the article? Yesterday on his TV show, Beck conceded, “I don’t trust Scott Brown.” He explained his wariness: “[Brown] posed naked in Cosmopolitan magazine back in 1982. I mean — really? I question the judgment of man who thinks anyone wants to see the male body naked: 100 percent of Americans agree naked males should never, ever be seen — ever.” ---

All of these threads can be condensed into one titled “I hate the conservatives because they are conservative” with 217 replies all reading “I agree! Hur!” > > I would love it if these people could scroll down the page, maybe click on that little 2 at the bottom, and see the other 46,846 Glenn Beck pit threads and post in those. It would be awesome. All the tards would be contained for their own safety in one little thread. Or better yet, they can have their little group hugs in MPSIMS or GD. You can still say “Fuck Glenn Beck” there, and everyone can agree with you there as well. Douchebag junior modding aside, this observation is spot on… ---

Whether or not i want to see a man naked depends on what i think of him … I don’t want to see Scott Brown naked because i think he is a repulsive cretin. ---

Beck is huge ,.How can any one say what he says is insignificant? He is just below Rush and in front of Palin in the conservative hierarchy. What he says is on national radio and TV. i would suggest a lot of people care about what he says. Jokes are supposed to be funny. That was not. ---

> [@Glenn Beck](#): > > 100 percent of Americans agree naked males should never, ever be seen — ever. Mr. Beck, what your wife tells you does not equate to the opinion of “100 percent of Americans”. Not that I blame her, mind you; I can’t imagine anybody wanting to see you naked either. (Or Scott Brown, for that matter. But rejecting the entire concept of male nudity just to avoid the risk of seeing a naked Glenn Beck or Scott Brown is **way** overreacting.) ---

Well, just speaking for myself, here, I could live with that. I’d get over it, pretty quick. I saw plenty of naked male bodies showering after gym class, enough to last me another twenty, thirty years or so. Yeah, I’m good. ---
