The voluble Glenn Beck appears ahead in the developing media threat race
Just taking time to set our sights on targeting a quick update on the flaming fusillades of violent political rhetoric recently launched over the use of flaming fusillades of violent political rhetoric assaulting American politics with verbal bayonets fixed:
After all of his compelling conspiracies and adamant blackboard chalkings, Glenn Beck, the charming, likable master media talker with the 1950s haircut, has revealed that he has only 15 threats operating against him at any one time.
In a regular on-air chat with fellow Fox News talker Bill O'Reilly (see video below), Beck claimed that he doesn't really track criticism about himself, especially not from left-wing clowns who are paid to drum up opposition to conservative media folks, if you can believe there's such a group of people milking a really rich guy for some of his millions.
Beck said he didn't know how his threats ranked against....
However, Beck claimed to have 15 operating threats going on against him at any one time. That would put his threat level somewhere in the green zone.
O'Reilly's reluctance to claim a certain number of self-proclaimed threats must mean he's ashamed because he has fewer than Beck. Who knows how many Rush Limbaugh must have down there in his armored studio? And, by the way, what constitutes a threat?
A total of 15 operating threats hardly seems sufficient though for someone with an argumentative American audience of so many million minutemen and minutewomen. That's the starting bar for now, however.
So, besides escalating barrages of political rhetoric, are we perhaps as a society now facing a media threat race, in which political talkers will regularly announce the latest totals of their unverifable threats? Check out Beck's chilling tale below.

Especially in light of the ‘blood libel remark‘, sooner or later, Sarah Palin will have to choose between her career and her close political alliance with Glenn Beck. The main reason for this is Beck‘s conniving anti-Semitism, and especially that Beck Loathes George Soros, who is Jewish, as much as Adolf Hitler Loathed the Jews. “…Soros is as close to Beck’s political and ideological antithesis as I can imagine: truly an American Rothschild who made billions by destroying economies…” - Glenn Beck vs. George Soros (Who should be commended, defended or suspended?)
http://constitutionclub.org/2010/11/16/glenn-beck-vs-george-soros-who-should-be-commended-defended-or-suspended/ ___The neo-Nazi branch of right-wingers, such as those quoted in the previous statement, often say that Soros is an agent of the Rothschilds. Again, Palin is politically close to Beck, who’s politics, at least regarding George Soros, are ultimately neo-Nazism. ( And no one except those on the extreme right, believes Beck’s Repugnant Smear that Soros aided Nazis in his youth, either. ) At some point therefore, the 'lame-stream media' is likely going to ask Sarah Palin her opinion of George Soros. Hopefully her reply won't contain the term 'blood libel' .

People need to wake up the fact that Glenn Beck is simply another opinion pushing charlatan who is a product of mormon cult theology that he mixes with cherry picked parts of Catholicism and his personal core as a dry alcoholic. And for the record, he is a Mormon and not a Christian. The two are not the same as one is a cult and the other is a religion. This makes Glenn Beck one very twisted screwed up moron who sold his soul to the lowest common denominator of personal stupidity. And for the record…the religion of Islam has far more in common with Christianity than the mormon cult.
Glenn Beck can be summarized simply as a dry mormon alcoholic who never got the counseling required for alcoholics. Those are his only qualifications for anything in life as he never went to college and definitely knows nothing about American History or the US Constitution. Because he does not possess a single ounce of journalistic integrity, this makes him the perfect abortion poster child for Fox Network. Considering the fact that Beck’s personal views are extreme Marxist Libertarian, his form of patriotism is false and he is a person who has no real substance or depth. He is definitely not a true conservative.
As with Joseph Smith or that 5th grade graduate who started the Jehovah’s Witness Cult, this over-paid idiot (Glenn Beck) got in bed with Satan a very long time ago and he loves being on bottom. It’s really all about the money as hate, lies, promotion of ignorance and fear mongering are the only marketable skills that Glenn Beck has on his side and he has a growing flock of very impressionable idiots who do not understand the difference between a cult and a religion or truth & facts versus lies.
Glenn Beck consistently demonstrates all the unstable behaviors of a dry alcoholic which include grandiosity, judgmentalism, intolerance, impulsivity, ADD, indecisiveness and blindness to truth. In short, Beck, Limbaugh, O Reilly, Hannity, Palin, O Donnell, Coulter and others like them frequently pervert truth, history, facts, religion and the US Constitution when they open their big mouths. Beck is simply part of a national league of pseudo-conservative idiots who make big money by selling lies and half truths to impressionable fools who occupy the lowest levels of society. Basically…tea baggers and registered republicans who are condemned to repeat the mistakes of history.

It is fascinating that so many of those who comment consider themselves authorities. The author who spent a lot of words describing Glenn Becks alcoholism, which Beck has discussed and disclosed many times, is playing a guess game at best. What if we put the shoe on the other foot and expanded the theory that Barack Obama exhibits all the classic signs of an untreated adult child of an alcoholic, especially one abandoned by his father? I could wax eloquent on that, but that would be no more equitable than others trying to psychoanalyze those with whom we disagree. That game can be played many ways, just dont limit it to those we dont like. If you don't like what Beck has to say, just don't listen or watch. I have turned off many a program rather than holler at the tv set, although I must confess I have erred more than once on that count.
