About a week and half ago I wrote a blog entry that was called Anchorage Steamer 2. I posted Glenn Beck's interview with Meridith Vieira where she calls him out on his inflammatory speech. He said that when he rails on people saying he'd like to kill them in various ways that only an insane person could come up with, he's just kidding. It's comedy. Also he's pimping his new book: The 7 Wonders That Will Change Your Life. He about releasing the anger you have built up inside of you and all that jazz that is complete BS. We know it's BS because of this:
Now angry people are unhappy people. I know because I am angry. Thus I vent on a blog that is for the most part ignored. I recognize the places that are negative and the people who bring me unhappiness and I am trying to improve by avoiding them. There's no secret in that.
Anywho, he's defending Michelle Bachmann and Sarah Palin because they are being picked on by the men in the media. I think that's a bit sexist on Beck's part. If you can't handle the heat, stay out of the kitchen or in this case get an education. Chris Matthews is correct about Michelle Bachmann defending the Constitution as if the Founding Fathers were deity or even decent enough to not OWN people. Thomas Jefferson impregnated his slaves and George Washington freed his in his will. He wasn't going to pay to have the work done around him but he had the good grace to free them AFTER he was dead. Please. I hate history and I know this stuff.
Michelle Bachmann was an odd choice for the Tea Party to choose to rebut the State of the Union because she was elected as a Republican. Why not Rand Paul? He won on the Tea Party votes. Everyone knows that come election time the GOP will be fractured and Palin, Beck, Bachmann, and all the other crazy freak show people will have their own party while the normal conservatives are dazed and confused as to what happened. After I left the town I grew up in, a large group of people moved in or around the area. Following THEIR visionary Glenn Beck alike. Constitutionalists. John Birchers, etc. Some of the townfolk got caught up in it. Quoting Cleon Skousen in church as if he were a prophet. Eventually it faded away but it makes you wonder what people will buy into. As a Mormon I know who I'm supposed to listen to and follow. It's scary to watch people get so distracted by this insanity. Glenn Beck has become a crazed televangelist and he reflects poorly on my faith. AND he just said what I said in the Anchorage Steamer posts and what I've been saying all along. It only takes one crazy person listening to things like beating someone over the head with a shovel, or calling Obama a terrorist at a rally and allowing people to yell "kill him", or making a map with cross hairs and a list of names of people who need to be "scrubbed out." You are calling upon your followers to murder for you. Chris Matthews in his rant (and it WAS a rant) called upon Michelle Bachmann to look back at the historical facts rather than spouting ignorance.
Glenn Beck as the voice of love and forgiveness is like Bristol Palin being the voice of abstinence or Sarah Palin being the voice of finishing something you started. Hypocrisy.
And for your viewing pleasure I give you the fun Beck Crazy montage:
