The Prophet Beck

[marplots]

What was it, a year ago? Maybe two? Glenny was warning us about upcoming terrorist attacks on grade schools in the U.S.

And, when they happened (as confirmed by his highly placed, but unnamed source) YOU SHOULDN'T GO TO THE SCHOOL! Why? Glenny explained that the real attack would be a bomb placed outside the school that would detonate after the crowd had gathered for the first attack.

Ah, clever terrorists. And, I must say, a very serious warning from Mr. B.

Throw a lot of poo on the wall... see what stinks/sticks.

Because he threw his kid off a building?

Why did you say that?

 

[GrouchoMarxist]

Hey, sometimes your day is done and you wanna run. Go Cain!

he's more than a little boring, for a sooper prophet

This was the most prophetic part:

...boy are they gonna use this against me...

The Beck Message:

get behind me [God]
stand behind me
stand there quietly but in anger
ok, now kneel
faith is the answer

I'll be right back after a message from our sponsor...

ZZZzzzzzz

The stuff about the founding fathers is all very Mormon. The general idea is that the creation of the US is divinely inspired - a country where God's church could be restored.

I'd report two of those posts but I don't know the new rules since coming back.

Wow... just wow.

If you go to Help at the top you can find a link to the Membership Agreement you, um, agreed to when you joined (re-joined, I guess. I have no clue who you are.)

Or you could just report them and let the mods sort them out. I don't see what would be actionable, but I'm not a mod.

End Derail.

This.

Kinda snapped my head back that's all. Both were objectionable, but one didn't even make sense.

And no, I don't object to black humor.

Before Scrut or Shemp etc. post a Jolson pic... that's NOT what I meant.

That might be Beck's downfall....if he pushed the Mormon Thelogy too much he will lose the Born Again Christian element,for whom Mormon Doctrine is pretty much rank heresy.

Maybe we are looking at this wrong. Maybe Beck has been auditioning for the part of Howard Beale this whole time.

Yeah but... Howard Beale was a respected Walter Cronkite/Harry Reasoner type who went nuts and starting ranting on TV. Beck is... skip the first part.

Just to be fair, to say all Mormons are like Glenn Beck is like saying all Catholics are like Mel Gibson.

True enough. One of my best friends is a Mormon, and he can't stand Glenn Beck.

 

[Kopji]

I love 'Network', is a favorite movie. Beale is probably not a good role model.

Ashamed to say my folks take Beck seriously. "What do you think about what that guy Beck has to say?"... and I laugh... and then catch myself way too late. Aw well I'm going to hell anyway.

H3ll... Listened to a bit of Rush back in the Tip O' days.

Like to think I thought of it as parody (somewhat).

Have no idea what to think of this current crop. So sad.
