Glenn Beck
On Monday's "Good Morning America," Glenn Beck "accidentally" referred to Barack Obama as "Osama," calling Barack's last name "unfortunate." While the Obama/Osama mix-up was described as one of 2007's biggest media mistakes, the conservative pundit may well have ulterior motives.

Watch:

On Monday's "Good Morning America," conservative radio and TV personality Glenn Beck mixed up Barack Obama and Osama bin Laden, saying "I think Osama -- unfortunate name, Obama" is a relatable candidate.

You idiot, porky Glen Beck. First of all, Usama's name is spelled with a "U" not an "O". Secondly, ever since Barack Obama hit the presidential candidate scene the media has turned Usama's name into Osama, just to try to relate it to the terrorist. Now as far as Mormon Glen Beck is concerned, his Mormom friend, Mitt Romney did the same thing. It's a ploy from both of them, they both know what they are doing. Both are Mormons and that is why Beck constantly has Romney on his show.
And remember, Usama is spelled with a U, not an O. And there is a big difference between the two: Obama is an American Citizen, he is a U. S. Senator, he's not a terrorist, and in the future there should be no reason for you to slip up since you now know.

Glen Beck is a MORON!!! I don't watch him and I hate to see him on TV!

Why? He is the TV limbaugh. He says outrageous things to get attention and ratings. Like he said those who lost their houses in the california fires brought it upon themselves.

How cold, how insensitve, to say those who lost their memories(pics, ashes of loved ones,e.t.c.) brought it on themselves!

Aside from his moronic Freudian slip, Beck is using the old he's-a-good-man-because-we-could-hang-out-together schpiel that got Bush elected. I don't care if the next prez likes to toss dwarves and wear women's undergarments--if he can govern, he should govern.

He's rich, he's famous, he's proof that a sucker is born every minute.

CNN is in a ratings race to the bottom with FNC to see who can pander to the most misanthropes.

what is unfortunate is that people like beck obfuscate the difference between a U.S. senator's last name and that of the man who planned the 9/11 attacks. instead of discussing bush's failure to capture or even pursue bin Laden, he takes the brainless position of questioning someone's patriotism because of his name.

And Beck is named after a beer that rhymes with "DRECK." How "unfortunate."

If TIME can can Kraut-hammer and Kristolnacht, why can't CNN (today bashing MSNBC) fire this nincompoop.

Poop. Dreck. Same diff.

Bech, Blech, blah blah blah

what's unfortunate is he's a world class idiot who couldn't find his ass with a flashlight and a map.

I'm sure the level of discourse from that element of the repugs will probably focus on kindergarten name calling and blaming the Clintons for everything...

As for CNN, call it balanced reporting????

I just call it pathetic...

A stocking stuffer for naughty people everywhere!

There was a time when people listened to televised news to hear the opinions of those who they felt were better informed, more knowledgeable, more eloquent and even more objective than themselves-Think Huntley,Brinkley, Cronkite and, of course Edward R. Murrow.

In today's fast-food media culture, "smart people" are sneered at as elitists and the public makes stars of demagogues who flaunt their ignorance as "common sense" as they pander to the prejudice of their audiences.

Glen Beck and his fellow blowhards are symptoms of a longing for simple answers by an increasingly anti-intellectual society in an increasingly complex world.
