I never thought that anything would ever get me to sympathize with Glenn FUCKING Beck.

Laugh, mock, hate Beck for his views and behavior, but not for this, if it's true.
Sorry Whackadoole.

Let's see, I wear glasses, fear losing my sight more then anything, and have had hearing difficulties during my lifetime.
I've also been temporaly paralyzed due to muscle pulls/tears, and a variety of other causes.

None of them are nice things. I've literally been 'partially blind, partially deaf, and can barely move'.

But you know what?

Consider what Glenn Beck has done? His views, rants, and actions show he doesn't care if that happens to other people.

If anyone deserves it, it's him.
I've been asked why I still follow a few of the people I know on Facebook with 'interesting political habits and view points'.

It's so when they comment on or approve of something, I know what pages to block/what not to vote for.

It's horrible, but he considers the sight of other people, especially poor people, to be equivalent to a humvee or 50" flat screen TV. I have sympathy for him, but I have more contempt for him.

If you'll notice, I was mocking him for his views and behaviour, and wishing that the system he so supports fucks him and makes him pay out of his own pocket. He probably CAN afford it, he just doesn't deserve it.

If we were talking about Rush 'Oxy' Limbaugh, and him dying of liver/kidney failure, I would probably jump on the ToughGuy-hurr-hurr-hurr train. He would/will have earned that[damn]theoretical[/darnit] death. However, we are instead considering the possible fate of someone who, however odious his views may be, is facing major sensory loss through no fault of his own (unless you can prove that masturbation leads to blindness - which might explain my problem).

I'll concede on this part. Let him argue with Blue/Cross/Blue Shield. Fuckers.

Nice hair, btw.

Some of you should be ashamed of yourselves. I wouldn't wish that on anyone, including people who disagree with me politically. Seriously, grow up.
I shall not walk in your footsteps, but I will walk by your side. I shall not walk in your image, I’ve earned my own title of pride. We’ve answered the call together, on sea and foreign land. When the cry for help was given, I’ve been there right at hand. Whether I am on the ocean, or in the jungle wearing greens, giving aid to my fellow man, be it Sailors or Marines. So the next time you see a corpsman, and you think of calling him "squid", think of the job he’s doing as those before him did.

What, you really think my merely wishing him to be run over by a car tomorrow will make it any more likely to happen? You should grow the fuck up. Unless you're a god, you can't will stuff to happen, and thinking your inner desires have some weight on whether or not a person is afflicted with a genetic disorder is a pretty silly outlook on life. Now if I got on my national television show and expressed that thought to throngs of dutiful and mindless listeners that would be a different matter. Who do we know that does that?

Besides, as far as I know, I never said “Gee, I hope Glenn Beck goes blind,” so I can hardly be accused of “wishing that on him,” and as far as I can see no one has actually said, “Good, I’ve been willing this to happen for years!” We’re all just reveling in the news that something bad happened to someone bad.

Experiencing a little schadenfreude (especially for such an atrocious man who has done not a single good thing I can think of with his success) is hardly the mark of the immature or the evil.

Wait...it was Glenn Beck who said he wouldn't mind if somebody "took care" of that abortion doctor who was murdered a while ago, wasn't it? I seem to recall something like that...

Well, he won't go blind blind anyhow, he'll "just" lose his central vision, and might qualify as legally blind. His peripheral and night vision should be pretty unaffected.

Attempting to drudge some sympathy up.. No, just the careers he's destroyed in this lake.

I do, however, inappropriately relish how he will be in regards to treatment or.. Even better.. Surgery for this. Anyone else remember his drama around his last big surgery? Youtube VIdeo

Maybe that's wrong of me. But I'm gonna take the hit to my ethical standing.
