Glenn Beck:Gasbag

Many of you are familiar with Conservative commentator Glenn Beck, his initials are GB which apparently stands for GASBAG. Glenn Beck is very much like a semi rabid dog, he bites at what he thinks is attempting to attack him, but also like a rabid dog Beck's bite is contagious. His hordes of screaming fans which are comparable to Rush Limbaugh's beloved dittoheads, consume and distort all that comes from their already thoroughly mislead leader's lips.

But hey thats what you get, as the old saying goes "Absolute power corrupts absolutely", however in the case of Beck a more fitting saying would be, "Monkey see, Monkey distort and complain about". I've been watching Beck for some time now tuning in for his near daily television show (I don't listen to his radio show, how much can one man take?) Beck on paper is your classic conservative radical, rallying at any time that the government has lost touch with the working man. Which lead me to question what gives Beck the right to speak for the working man? The man earns millions of dollars a year, he is in short what Limbaugh would look like if he was seventeen. Also Beck has almost no credentials in politics, the fact of the matter is that he is a comedian, not pipe fitter like some of my own good friends, hes not a union man, also like my good friends. No he's Jeff Foxworthy minus the accent and redneck jokes.

But aside from Beck's obvious lack of credentials, crazy beliefs, and overall lack of subtelty underneath the layers of feces that make up his own weak platform lies a man who believes what he says which is perhaps his greatest flaw. but if you've been reading this whole time and think that I just don't like Glenn Beck, you're wrong and right, I dislike but what I dislike more is the fact that his platform however much merit it may have retained,(I doubt it, but I could be wrong) is so badly communicated as he too the naked eye strongly, but to the trained eye feebly attempts to connect with his largely Republican audience though he himself is not a Republican.

Beck on a show last week stated in regards to the amendments to the second ammendment stated "That Congress has made the law so that you may now not have your gun loaded in your home, unless a transgressor is in your room," Beck then went on to do an impersonation of a homeowner calmly asking the armed robber to wait while he reassembled his gun. Beck then went on to say "So just sit in your bed while the man in the next room tortures your dog." This is a perfect example of Beck's logic, first of all it is my personal belief that guns if used at all should be in self defense, and unfortunately for Spot self does not include dogs, unless Spot is packing heat, but thats a whole different set of problems. While I have no personal grudge against dogs, in the midst of this statement I could not help but think"its a dog" while companionship and life are important, Beck states this dogs torment as if we were torturing a polar bear.

IN conclusion I hope you enjoyed this article, I hope it made you smile, I hope it made you think, and most of all I hope it made you realize Glenn Beck is a dink!
