Beck is back: Hurricane Irene is a blessing

Oy.

I guess people don't like Glenn Beck because he sounds like a bad orchestra playing death metal during an alarm. And because he doesn't wrap painful truths in shiny metaphors. I personally don't like Glenn Beck because I simultaneously agree and disagree with him which makes my head extremely uncomfortable.

Telling people to store food to survive is not wrong. Telling people to store food on mormons' god's behalf is terribly wrong. Should people listen to Beck and do the right thing from the wrong reason, or not listen and do the wrong thing from the right reason?

Now I have the hurricane right in my head, thank you so much.

"I simultaneously agree and disagree..."

I agree only sometimes. The frequency of the cases when he spouts BS is alarmingly high.

Every thing that Glenn Beck predicted has come true.  Strange as that sounds but his prophecies are better than the so-called psychics.

Yeah, but this is not a prediction.

A blesing? Perhaps he has shares in a lot of building contractors. The man is an utter wanker

If he indeed has shares as you suspect, he is not a wanker ;)

I' not a Beckian, but I must say I dislike these attacks on religious people for their religious comments.

Context, people, context. The fact that CNN and WaPo are excerpting what he said in a critical way. Whoa. The Left in high dudgeon over religion? Now there's a surprise.

To my mind, Irene was a blessing, in the sense (Beck's sense, as I see it, but I'm not working for CNN or the WaPo) that nature periodically reminds us that humanity is not in charge of its fate. And, therefore, in the American context, investing a lot of money in an East Coast abode, as millions have, is, uh, stupid.

What could be more obvious than that humans are not in charge? And yet people (particularly unbelievers) forget it all the time.

For me, Dick, the problem is less with the contents of his speeches, more with the delivery. He has this wondrous ability to open his mouth and utter something totally hateful for large audiences. Like in Israel when he announced that protesters against the runaway prices are commies and Islamists...

His ability to alienate people is amazing.
