The Blogshevik

I was watching the Glenn Beck show on Fox this evening like we usually do, although its becoming more uncommon than not and I was struck by some of the comments made during his opening monologue. Here it is:

Then you have his radio program and some of the comments made there:

So what do I find disturbing about Mr. Beck’s comments? Simple, it’s hypocritical. How on earth can a man who himself has made some serious mistakes in his life like, oh I dunno….alcoholism, judge another man for something he did in 1982? Senator Brown, whom I don’t know and I doubt you do either, was a law school student at a time where money was probably pretty tight and hard to come by. I seriously doubt Senator Brown ever placed the public safety at risk while posing nude, but can the same be said about Mr. Becks alcoholism? Mr. Beck fancies himself a Christian and if I remember my Sunday school teachings correctly, judging is like…a really bad thing. I may be wrong but it was an awful long time ago and I spent that time running away from a baseball bat wielding nun, the memories are a bit foggy.

Then Mr. Beck goes onto say how wrong it was for Senator Brown to kid around with his daughters on national tv during the Senator’s acceptance speech. As a father; (read one with a sense of humor) I’ve made stupid comments concerning my kid as I’m sure every father with a SENSE OF HUMOR has. Maybe….just maybe doing it on the national stage was a bit much, but Senator Brown just won a really hard fought battle to rid the State of Massachusetts of that windowlicking boogereater Mad Martha Coakley.

But it doesn’t end there folks, oh no, in perfect Radio Clown fashion, Mr. Beck goes on to say that he ‘sees a dead intern’ in the future.

Sniff….

That was awful classy Mr. Beck.

Tell me this, how the hell am I suppose to listen to your ramblings now without thinking of how much of a fucking hypocrite you are? Maybe I should just take you as a basic cowbell rattling radio personality from now on, not as a mouthpiece for the conservative cause. The fact is Mr. Beck, I can’t anymore. I haven’t been able to for awhile. Your emotional outbursts seem phony to me Mr. Beck, contrived to tug on the heartstrings of your viewers. Do you really feel emotional about the stuff you weep about, or is it just a ratings ploy designed to pull that 60-80 demographic in Toledo?

Regardless Mr. Beck, you showed an assholishness that hadn’t been seen by THIS viewer before. It’s like finding a hair in the cream of broccoli soup kinda thing, it ruins the soup to the point where you not only lose your appetite, but it also puts you off soup for awhile.

You’re an alcoholic Mr. Beck, by your own admission and of course I applaud your sobriety, but did you leave your sense of humor locked up in the liquor cabinet? Are we to judge you in the future by what you did a number of years ago, are we to judge the lack of judgment you displayed while driving with a bottle of Thunderbird firmly inserted into your cakehole? I know I know, you’re just a radio hack and not a public servant and while Senator Scott Brown has a record of helping people throughout the State of Massachusetts, you have a reputation of helping people understand the complexities of government, the founding of this wonderful country and of course, corruption in places that might have gone unnoticed. You have a responsibility now and a place in the hearts of many people that maybe you don’t understand. You have people who look up to you….well, some who did.

Mr. Beck, not only do I think you’re a paint-chip eating moron for stating what you did, but I also believe you owe Senator Brown AND his family an apology. Then, do the right thing and apologize to your listeners. Will you do it? I seriously doubt it. It’s been a year since your introduction to Fox News, congrats by the way, but from what I’ve seen, I doubt you have the cajones to do so.

Apparently, I’m not alone on this as I’ve just been directed to a Hot Air blog post by Allahpundit, citing Mark Levin’s opinion on the matter. At least I’m in good company.

And so it goes….
