Ahh Glenn Beck, you must be trolling

[Ksandra]

Saw this yesterday, I dunno if it can get any worse/funnier than this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aR0vvlnMjq4


To summarize since it's a long video:


1. White House wants more people to start volunteering

2. Hollywood agrees and decides to make a volunteering campaign

3. Beck flips that Hollywood actually wants people to volunteer because the white house wants it

4. Beck flips that the white house is trying to get us to do things...

5. Beck thinks it's not volunteering because Disney is offering incentives.


Hey Beck,

1. A day at Disney is not the same monetary value they would get paid for working for 8 hours.

2. People get tax breaks for donations, I GUESS THAT'S NOT REALLY DONATING THEN EH?

3. Heaven forbid the White House try to get people to do something good for the country.



Thought people here would enjoy a good laugh on this one.

No trolling, he's just a fucking moron.

[Mizango]

Good ol' faux news.

Inb4 Lief and Egon come bumbling in defending Beck, tooth and nail.

[Parshias]

Jesus would want you to volunteer.

But Jesus is a dirty socialist, so fuck what that douche wants.

[bechyni]

Oh woww Glenn Beck is trolling hardcore nowadays....not. He's just a fucking idiot plain and simple

[Ksandra]

No trolling, he's just a fucking moron.

no no no miz, no one can be that stupid to be upset that places WANT PEOPLE TO VOLUNTEER. No one is that stupid.`

[Stiker]

no no no miz, no one can be that stupid to be upset that places WANT PEOPLE TO VOLUNTEER. No one is that stupid.`

If there are people that are stupid enough to believe it, I don't think it is too far a stretch to believe there is someone stupid enough to start the bullshit.

[liggy 0]

I'm pretty sure he's paid under the table by Jon Stewart and Stephan Colbert for fresh material.

[Mizango]

no no no miz, no one can be that stupid to be upset that places WANT PEOPLE TO VOLUNTEER. No one is that stupid.`

Hannity, Beck, O'Reilly, Man bitch Van Susteren and the trifecta of fail: Kilmeade, Doocy and blond snatch all disagree.

I mean you go down the list and you are hard pressed to find someone there who isn't a delusional tryhard.

Gave up at the 40 sec. mark.

Pretty sure you could just make this thread every day and have the op be his whole show.

true, I just happened to go downstairs yesterday when boytoy's mom was watching it, and almost burst out laughing.


I have to laugh it off with you guys, since I can't laugh about it around here.


Also, I hope some of you realize I am being sarcastic about Beck being a troll.

[eunhye]

You know when the last time I volunteered?

Spoiler: show

I think 60 hours doing the high school thang back in 97

P.S. Conservative here and I could care less about Beck, ie don't watch him, but too funny everyone hates this guy for making a "show"

Here's some googling of this

Is Glenn Beck accusing Fox Broadcasting Co. and Rupert Murdoch of engaging in Maoist activities? | Media Matters for America

My favorite quote

KUTCHER [video clip]: Volunteering is, when we really break it down, is working for free. It's like I got -- and I'm thinking that's not my -- I gotta go out and tell people, "Yeah, get excited to go to work and not make any money," and get -- especially when it's tough to come by money. And I'm like, "How am I going to really encourage people to do that?"

[Cephius]

I don't think even Beck believes what he says anymore. Why would he? Say something batshit insane about Obama/liberalism/blacks, piss off liberals and incite a mob of hicks in Texas, get massive ratings and a shitload of money from Fox News. Who cares if it's true or not?

[Arnwulf]

Sad thing about this is, my wife, and I'm sure lots of other people, believes and agrees with every. single. god. damn. thing. he. says. To suggest he is wrong and an asshole is akin to blasphemy.

[Ksandra]

but too funny everyone hates this guy for making a "show"

A "show" that airs during fox news showtime. And a "show" that has news ticketer and foxnews plastered all over it.

Don't get me wrong, I'd still think he's an idiot if he had an actual separate time slot, but you have to see what's wrong with letting someone like him have air time during the news.

Oh that pesky amendent with the speeches and freedoms.

Oh that pesky amendent with the speeches and freedoms.

Even the 1st amendment has limitations. You can't yell fire in a crowded theater. You can't spout off hate speech without repercussions. You can't incite violence and then hide behind the Constitution. The world isn't black and white, friend.
