> [@](#): > > He wasn’t fully aware of the perilous times and people "at each other’s throats . . . Well, that’s understandable, of such a detached ivory-tower intellectual. It’s not as if he were in some occupation where he might be regularly exposed to media and current events and such. ---

> [@Bob Ducca](#): > > Like raping and murdering that little girl in the 80’s? Or the goat fucking he did right after? I want to give him the benefit of a doubt but people are talking about this all over and it doesn’t help he hasn’t released the proper documentation to prove he’s innocent. I suspect what he’s trying to hide is even worse. In fact I know it, and I can prove it, but you’ll have to stay tuned. ---

He doesn’t divide them. They do it to themselves. ---

If Beck is truly regretful, he’ll do a lot more than just say so. So go ahead, Glenn, use whatever platform you have left to unite people and find consensus. We’ll be waiting. ---

This call for reconciliation smells pretty fishy. I’m thinking it’s some sort of Muslocratic false flag operation. ---

I thought that Glen Beck died from spontaneous combustion a few years back. Why doesn’t someone relieve this man of his emotional pain and get him professional help? It is shameful to exploit the mentally ill for entertainment.
