Glen Beck is not insane (yet). He is a con man. He riles up the rubes with his bullshit for money. His whole schtick is engineered. Also, Does he set off anyone else's gaydar? He just seems like the type who goes cruising for rough trade at truck stops at 3 AM. That was the first thing I thought when I saw him and then saw the cover of his latest book. We'll probably find out one day that when he goes home he snuggles up to his houseboy and enjoys a nice Chardonnay and Brie while he watches Oprah and reads The Advocate.

Symptoms of Agressive Narcissism


Factor 1: Aggressive narcissism

Glibness/superficial charm
Grandiose sense of self-worth
Pathological lying
Cunning/manipulative
Lack of remorse or guilt
Emotionally shallow
Callous/lack of empathy
Failure to accept responsibility for own actions

The calling of a woman to mock her miscarriage on air alone when he was a radio jock and of itself is evidence of several of these. His lies are so many and reckless that it's either pathology or self-delusion. By his own admission his family has a long history of mental illness and also by his own admission he had a substance problem so severe he could not remember the names of his own children. Then there's his fanatical breakdowns on air, and the obvious sense of persecution when called on his bullshit watch this Couric video.

Yeah, I think the evidence is there.

i liked beck a few years ago but since obama came into office and he moved to fox he has gone way to right for me. his rantings are worse than rush and i used to listen to rush everyday in the 90's now he is just a raving loon. they both used to make sense but not anymore.

He was ranting like a lunatic about how college students where Che t-shirts and all this bat-$hit crazy nonsense.

Hey Obama's campaign head in Houston had Che posters up on the wall in summer of 08 - people should have had a clue by then.

If MSM did its job Beck would be almost anonymous. Beck was totally right about Van Jones and his radical past and ideology. He is also right about Cass Sunstein being a nutter who wants animals to be able to sue in court and have internet "rumors" chiiled - and also said a president should be allowed to decide what laws mean when their is ambiguity:

""There is no reason to believe that in the face of statutory ambiguity, the meaning of federal law should be settled by the inclinations and predispositions of federal judges. The outcome should instead depend on the commitments and beliefs of the President and those who operate under him,"

That's TOTALLY anti-constitutional - never mind unconstitutional. The solution he suggests is exactly what happened in Germany in the 30's'


Mark LLoyd the FCC diversity Czar is another nutter who praises Chavez and Alinsky and says the "structural imbalance" in talk radio (even not enough homosexuals he says) needs to be fixed by Gov.

Now we have the Energy Secretary Steven Chu saying Americans are like teenagers that need to be told how to act. Oh and let's not forget Holdren saying forced abortions might have to be used to save the planet.

Glen Beck has been right on about the maniacs and misfits that populate this administration. They are also aching to IMPOSE their will on people.

So you and Glenn Beck sleep together often....
