Glenn Beck Says Stupid Shit

Could be the title of any post about the idiotic provocateur (who it was recently reported made $32 million last year, and recently told Forbes in an interview "I could give a flying crap about the political process, we're an entertainment company"). And there are so many instances to report on the outlandish poison that spews out of his mouth it's almost redundant to document individual cases. However, in light of the insightful passage posted by Magical Fuckers, and the particularly unbelievable character of this quote, I decided to share this here nonetheless. The following is Beck's speculation on a potential Obama Supreme Court nominee, which bears no relation to any really existing potential nominee.

"She could be the devil, she could say 'I hate America, I want to destroy America,' and that way they'll only be able to say, 'Oh, Why do you hate gay immigrant black, gay, handicapped women.' Because that's what this has to be. It must be about.. And when I say this, I mean all of it.

"They must energize their base. And Their base is getting smaller and smaller. Their base is becoming unions, thugs, MoveOn.org, Huffington Post--that's their base.

"And anybody who has said, 'OK, wait a minute. I wanted universal health care. This is starting to spook me.'

"They must make the right and the middle-right into monsters. Because they're losing those people on the middle-left ... those people on the middle-left back into their camp. And they can't do it without hatred and fear. That's all they're doing. That's why as they get louder, we must get softer."

That last paragraph is one of the most ironic, least self-aware things I have read from this man who unwittingly excels in both of these categories on the reg.
