As Glenn Beck says in the video, "Who needs Gimmicks?" *CoughSocialismCough*

Glenn Beck becomes damaged goods | Salon News

This is awfully endearing of Beck:

Beck kept trying. When KZZP's music director held his marriage at a Phoenix church, Beck loaded up Y95's two Jeeps with boxes of bumper stickers and drove to the ceremony. As the service was coming to a close, Beck and his team ran crouching from car to car, slapping bumper stickers on anything with a fender. The service ended while Beck was running amok, and the KZZP morning team appeared just in time to see Beck jump into his getaway car. "Beck saw me standing in the way of the exit and gunned right for me. I threw a landscaping rock on his windshield and blocked him," says Kelly. When his old friend demanded he roll down the window, Beck reluctantly obliged. Kelly then unloaded a mouthful of spit in his face.

The slight outraged Beck, who got his revenge with what may rank as one of the cruelest bits in the history of morning radio. "A couple days after Kelly's wife, Terry, had a miscarriage, Beck called her live on the air and says, 'We hear you had a miscarriage,' " remembers Brad Miller, a former Y95 DJ and Clear Channel programmer. "When Terry said, 'Yes,' Beck proceeded to joke about how Bruce [Kelly] apparently can't do anything right -- about he can't even have a baby."

"It was low class," says Miller, now president of Open Stream Broadcasting. "There are certain places you just don't go."

What a Emmy award winner in the category of being a Scumbag.

Actually, I came across the article while surfing a website. I decided to post it.

If I'm batshit obsessed with Glenn Beck then Conservatives are batshit obsessed with Barack Obama. Especially people like Sinatra who post 10 threads a day about him.

One is a pundit, the other is the President...

I'm more interested in people who can effect our lives than pundits with opinions I don't even watch...

The people in the tea party movement would disagree with you that he is just a "pundit." But

I thought the video was funny, but when I found the article I was sort of disturbed. Originally it was only going to be the video.

Some of it is payback for the ACORN outing, but much of this obsession started before that...

I guarantee you that the vast majority of tea party attendees are VERY concerned about what Barry is doing - more so than what a pundit has to say... That was quite obvious...

Oh that is quite obvious. I'm merely saying that they see him more than just a pundit. Personally, I could care less about the guy as I find him to be both acting crazy and playing into fear tactics instead of real debating. That, and the fact he is a hypocrite.

Though the same can be said of all the talking heads really.

What do they see him as?

He's a right wing blowhard that shares his opinions... His words have no effect on our laws or our taxes...

What does warm my heart is to see that more and more Barry supporters are seeing that he isn't the Hope and Change they were looking for... THAT'S much more interesting than Glenn Beck... but, to each their own...

I dont see how an incident 23 years ago is supposed to destroy Glenn Beck or show that he is a downright horrible person when he has spent the last 5-10 years telling people what a horrible person he was in the past and Thanking God that he saw the light.

However, it shouldnt be very surprising that you guys are still trying to destroy him rather than address any of the reasonable questions he has asked. You can't destroy a man who has already been destroyed and who has rebuilt his life from the ruins by pointing to the ruins. You cant silence the truth by destroying the messenger.

Oh I'm not trying too. However you seem to not catch the irony. You attack Van Jones for his past while defending Beck about being sorry for his.

Of course one would. One of those situations is in the real world, and one of those situations is in TV-land. There's a big difference on how that impacts folks' lives.

They're both human beings.

So? You wondered why there was an attack on Van Jones and not on Beck. You have your answer - one is the real world, one is TV-land. Your concern for the person is cute, but there is a reason why folks are more concerned with the government than with TV-land.

I never wondered why there was an attack on Van Jones and not on Beck. I know why. But now this is just going in circles.

Indeed, you are going in circles.

Words from two months ago is a huge difference than words from 23 years ago.

Especially when you pay attention to pivot points in peoples lives.

Of course, that would require you actually honestly look at facts and people as they are.

I just don't find anything offensive in that clip.

One would think the President would garner more attention than a TV personality, especially at a time when the country is going through some major issues. With that said, why wouldn't Obama and his administration/policies be the focus of attention to the average American?

Why don't you just admit it, Beck along with Fox news scares the shit out of you and your only recourse is to try and marginalize them. I understand that honesty is a foreign concept to you people, but you should give it a try sometimes.
