I can see WHY he flipped out. Telling Glenn Beck he doesn't care about excessive government spending is like calling Mike Wong a baptist preacher.

That being said, he's a grandstanding douchebag.

Mind you, Glenn Beck did support the bank bailout last year, no matter what he retcons his position to now. He also supported the Iraq War, despite its massive $2 trillion price tag.

I didn't start paying much attention to him until a few months ago when I saw him on some news show talking about his book. He seems to be trying to re-brand himself as a small government libertarian.

He's a lying sack of shit. He was a war cheerleader during the Bush Administration and he supported the bank bailouts last year. He called himself a "small government libertarian" last year, and it was a lie back then too. The reality is that he's just a party-line Republican, no matter how hard he tries to cast himself as an "independent". He will support a policy (like the bank bailouts) when the Republicans are in power and then attack that exact same policy six months later when the Democrats in power, and then deny that he's a party-line Republican with a straight face. Luckily for him, his target audience is so fucking stupid that they actually believe him.

He did support the bailout? :lol:

But then, when this shrieking pustule was called out for lying by the yentas on The View, he waited until the next day on his radio show to whine that they were lying about him!

This reminds me of the O'Reily freak out from last year and makes me think they must all be even crazier than we first thought...

I would like to bring up how Becks actions once more define the main difference between Left and Right "Funny people"

The Mindless Middle, who love to equate all people as "Well everyone does it" Would love to tell you the people on the Left do this sort of thing too, but they Don't... THAT Is the truly defining aspect about the Right wing-nuts, its that they at times go totally bat-shit insane. Search you-tube and you will find, at some point or another, all the big bosses, Limbauge, Hannity, O'Riely, all of them at some point go off the deep end into screaming yelling childish hysterics.

In Contrast, while I find many You tube videos 'supposedly' showing people like Kieth Olbermann an others 'melting down' I have yet to find an instance even closely approaching the freak show in the right. In the end these people are freaks, they are unbalanced circus performances, they do this for show, for theater because they know their audience just eats it up. I have no doubt that right wing loonies listening to that same shriek will only be thinking how well he stuck it to some wacko liberal. fest

When did O'Reily freak out? I know Elfdart had something in his sig from when the blowhard was doing inside edition, and there's the constant "shut up" fiascos, but I don't recall him having a full-scale on air freak out like that.
