US celebrities and media have blasted right-wing radio host and television presenter Glenn Beck for calling the quake that rocked Japan last week a message from God.

I have always called Glenn Beck a lunatic, but with this latest remark from him, I now promote Glenn Beck to Pat Robertson Land. Beck is now a certified nut.

You know, I have a feeling that, if God were pissed at the world, the very first thing he would do would be to give Glenn Beck a stroke in the speech centers of his brain, and shut turn of the rivers of hateful diarrhea coming from his mouth forever.

The earthquake didn't happen because God is pissed. It happened because something this the earth shifted. The Japanese people are not evil at all, let alone evil enough to deserve something like what is happening to them now.

You know, I just thought of something. Two can play this game, so I will take Glenn Beck at his word. And if a quake should rock California and kill scores of people, I will simply say it's because Glenn Beck committed blasphemy, and perverted the word of God..... Wait. No, I can't do that. I am just not enough of a douche bag to say something that sick and perverted. Never mind.

All this stuff is just more evidence that very few people are free of foot-in-mouth syndrome. When you give a dude a mic and let him talk all day something's bound to come up sooner or later.

No, if God were truly pissed at the world, He would make Glen Beck the only person on TV.:mrgreen:

These people who look at every natural catastrophe as a message from God, global warming, or whatever, are all nuts. George Carlin had it right.

Possibly God did it to show the rest of the world how to act in a disaster. Kudos to the Japanese.

The Japanese people are some cool cats. If this stuff happened in America people would probably be looting the crap out of everything.

Oh Geez, remember Katrina? There was no calm there.
 
Funny post Dan
 
And if God wanted to destroy Japan or give them this quake, it would kind be punishing everybody else in the world too... If the world losses Japan as an economic powerhouse, then it's going to have negative implications for everybody else in the supply chain...

Maybe Beck is just acting like this, because he already knows he is getting the ax at Fox... IDK, but this is definitely not going help him with advertisers and such.
 
One of the Japanese politicians said the same thing, but he is a follower of the Shinto religion.
 
Glenn Beck says something someone doesn't like. Film at 11.
 
I am disappointed because so many are commenting on a show they not to have watched.

I may have missed few seconds of Glenn Becks show yesterday, I know he talked about the evil of the violent cold blooded murders of most of a family in Israel, but I remember nothing but praise about the Japanese people and how wonderful they have been.

Glenn Beck today talked about how much he admirers the Japanese and what a great society they have to respond as they have.

He also talked about heroes and how we all need to be prepared, just in case.

He talked about the over hyping the Media is doing about the dreaded melt down, and how they are making it sound more dangerous than it is by continuously comparing it to Chernobyl.

He then talked about the economy and moved on to choices and the odds of a calamity sticking each of and how no one is really safe because things happen.

He spoke on energy sources and how the cost would go nuts if we cut off oil imports and stopped using coal.

You were then listening to a different show. On his radio show, you can't miss what he said. It's right here, along with the raw audio from his show.
 
What Glenn Beck said was idiotic and ridiculous.

Not surprising, its hard to actually comment on that because of the typical hyperbole and over exaggerate games being played here. No where in the Audio does Beck suggest that the Japanese are evil nor "deserving" nor that they brought it on themselves or other type of things that idiots said about 9/11 or Katrina with regards to god. He also specifically stated he's not saying God caused it, not saying god didn't, that he doesn't know gods plan.

Becks comments, when you actually use his comments and not Dana's typical bull**** hyperbole, are ridiculous and over the top. But Its hard to join in the rally cry of shouting down Beck's idiocy when others let their hatred and distaste for them inspire them to over react, misrepresent, and outright lie about what was stated to attack him. Wild idea...how about attacking him for what he actually SAID rather than the bull**** you've imagined?

When you have to exaggerate, imply things that aren't there, or outright lie it makes your position look weak. More than that, it makes anyone that actually agrees with you on the reasonable level have to think before commenting because it then makes it seem like they support your bull**** as well. Glenn Beck's comments were dumb, but so was Dana's presentation of it.

Hateful? Where do you get hateful out of those words?

The earthquake didn't happen because God is pissed. It happened because something this the earth shifted. The Japanese people are not evil at all, let alone evil enough to deserve something like what is happening to them now.

Huh? I must have missed where he said that one.

You know, I just thought of something. Two can play this game, so I will take Glenn Beck at his word.

You also didn't listen to the show yourself I take it, but who needs to do that when you've got are always accurate and never slanted media to tell you the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth... Right?


Now, someone please tell me what in the hell this story is doing in "Breaking News"????

First, he was talking about his show on Fox, which I caught bits and pieces of myself at work and can attest to. Second, I am still looking for the hate you claim took place, because I'll be damned if I can find it anywhere.
 
Just riling the loony base as usual, and pissing off everyone else in the process. :shrug:

He's going to be sacked soon anyway.

I think the disciplined and noble behavior of the Japanese people was the point being made.
