What will happen when Glenn Beck finally goes nuts?

It’s like anything else. You’re crazy not to invest in real estate/stock market/gold/tulips because they are going up, and then one day you were crazy to think it would keep going up.

Saw an interesting article that noted while gold is at an all time high in US dollars it is 30% below it’s top in Australian dollars and also below it’s top in Euros and several other currencies.

I think it’s absolutely fucking delicious that it’s being done to him, and for two reasons:

  1. What is said about him has no impact in public discourse as it relates to the formation of public policy or voting patterns. It amounts to a prank.

  2. The prank in question is exactly the same smear tactic he has used on actual public officials, repeatedly and unapologetically. Let him deal with the fallout.

Actually three reasons. He is a loathesome person, and he actively and intentionally makes the world a worse place to be. Anything bad that happens to him – especially anything as glitteringly perfect as this fake rumor that everyone knows is fake – makes me smile. I hope bad things continue to happen to him.

I dream of him being smote. Like a super-deep voice from On High cries “Fuck you, Glen Beck!”, and he dissolves gurgling like that guy in Lost Ark. I would dash to the nearest house of worship, denomination irrelevent, to sing “Halleljuah” and “Hossanah”, and stuff like that there.

That would be cool.

Anyone who can drive the moonbat liberals into this kind of blind, irrational rage has got to be doing something right. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to bring myself to watch the guy, but I will start supporting his sponsors.

Yeah, elucidator, calm down a little, will ya? You’re getting your blind irrational rage all over me.

So it doesn’t matter if he’s got his facts correct or not, so long as he’s pissing off the right people.

Have I got that about right?

Anyone who can drive Beck and his army of gibbering nitwits into the hysterical, slobbering, inarticulate, teabagging, sign painting rage that Obama manages to inspire must be doing everything right.

What’s he been wrong about? I honestly don’t know; I don’t watch him.

Well, this one time, in 1990…

There was his imaginary “Communist wall” at Rockefeller center, for one thing.

Wow, that’s pretty bad. Does he have anything that might be the equivalent of Dan Rather’s infamous “George Bush AWOL” story that turned out to be completely false? Remember? It cost four CBS producers their jobs and resulted in Rather himself being quietly eased out to pasture. And recall: this was CBS News! Has Beck, a commentator, told any lies of that magnitude?

Actually, that story was true. And what the fuck does Dan Rather have to do with Glenn Beck being a nutcase and a liar?

“Fake but accurate,” huh? I love it. So what has Beck lied about? I know he was right about ACORN and Van Jones.

The story was true. The secretary(Carr) who shot down the paper work by saying she did not recall writing it ,also added the information on the memo was accurate. What lie are you talking about?

Sure. A story so “true” that CBS News had to rely on phony documents to prove it. Please. If you can prove it to be true (using authentic documents, of course) then Dan Rather will be your new best friend. (Also, you might want to re-read your comment; it makes absolutely no sense).

Anyway, the question stands: what has Glenn Beck lied about?

The story WAs true. Move onto a different tu quoque.

I already cited one thing which Glenn Beck completely made up. He went into elaborate detail about the Communist significance of a mural painted on the wall of Rockefeller Center. The only problem is that no such mural exists, or ever existed at Rockefeller Center.

Well, looks like Stephe96 is just about to unleash his mastery of verbal jiu jitsu on y’all. Thread over, dudes, thread over.

That was posted 2 months ago.

Enjoy, Stephe, though I don’t know why you couldn’t have done the same thing. Google is my friend. Your enemy, but them’s the breaks when you align yourself with the Forces of Darkness.

Wow. Those examples are amazingly non-trivial. I’m guessing that’s the best you’ve got? (By the way, the link that is “so good,” alas, doesn’t work.) Nice copy-and-paste, though.

I don’t think Beck is necessarily a liar, as much as a bullshitter, as defined by Harry Frankfurt in On Bullshit:
