Glenn Beck Parodied As The Patient Zero Of 'Obama Derangement Syndrome'

One of the areas of concern cited by Media Matters in their letter to Chris Wallace is Glenn Beck, who the organization criticizes for "engag[ing] in increasingly outrageous, demagogic, and conspiratorial rhetoric." Driving that point home for Media Matters is their hilarious mashup video which neatly summarizes Beck's "news" show -- a cable news venue in which the government is "full of vampires" who are enslaving children as a part of a one-world government scheme and where production assistants have gasoline poured on them. It's all really part of a comedy act that Glenn Beck calls "poor man's Seinfeld" and which the rest of the world refers to as "John Birch Society pamphlets shrieked aloud by a bipolar jackass."

Wow. Mormon's must be really proud to call Beck one of their own. Between Beck and Ken-doll Mitt, they are ready to take over America for Joseph Smith.

[BillMelater]

He did not vote for change. He voted for more of the same.

The change WE voted for was change from this hockey puck's drivel and dishonesty.

[arniefluffkin4520]

Tell me what change we as Americans who voted for change have visable seen so far?

[ThankGodhesgone]

Just having an intelligent, reasonable person who can speak coherently and in complete senteces, and no 'us' vs. 'them' mentality is a start.

[ondamony]

If you havent noticed it by now, I dont think you will.

[coldwind]

Uh...is that "visable seen" as opposed to "audible seen"?

[reedaleddy]

gee Glenn, keep talking that way and the government is going to take you away in the middle of the night, never to be seen again. I'm so scared, the sky is falling, the sky is falling.

[jillroberts]

It's just a matter of time before the next kook like McVey destroys something after being egged on by these irresponsible people like Beck.

Then, of course, the Repubs will blame Obama!

[ThankGodhesgone]

Certifiable nut case. However, there are too many nuts out there that take his rants seriously and he knows it.. Whether he is acting or not, he knows this.

Regarding the shooting of the 3 police officers, I notice Beck was quick to defend himself and state that he had nothing to do with inciting the killings. Maybe not, but if he needs to go on to national television to distance himself from inciting any action, then maybe he does feel a little guilt.

[alicetilden]

It's fun to laugh at him, but he's not really funny. I am very afraid that he will incite people to violence. Faux News should be held accountable if anything terrible happens because of this clown. The whole channel is morally bankrupt.

[LAMAMA]

Does anyone know who his sponsors are? I can barely stomach watching him - let alone the commercials. If anyone knows please speak up. Thanks.

[CJ1]

Great idea--when you find out, post company names!

[dutch163]

ok
I am convinced
the man is nuts
and possibly dangerous
inciting those who can't think straight

[DianeGhil]

That is what is scaring me - he is inciting all of the lunatics that need a scape goat for what bush created. I blame fox for this - if anyone gets killed, Fox and beck, hannity and limbaugh should all be charged with murder.

[underoath]

My brother has this problem!

[Joseph Upton]

Media Matters doesn't matter...it's irrelevant. George Soros is wasting his money (which is OK with me...it's his money).

[Tommygun264]

Actual video in full context is "irrelevant", eh? Sounds like you have a case of FOX Noise inflicted ODS.

Isn't it funny how the lemmings feel compelled to keep telling us how irrelevant the truth is?

[atomic]

GO AWAY.

[coldwind]

Oops -- you almost got it right. It's the Republican House which is irrelevant. Soon to be joined by the Republican Senate. Which is why Rush and the FoxNuts are the current face of the GOP. When crazy is all you've got, crazy is what you have to go with.

[mdemkiw]

nut

[Patricia84]

Y'all here just do not understand. It's about what your gut tell you? Not being a real American it is possible that you cannot properly get all the truthiness of GB's position. You must remember, it's all about the gut.

[devanate]

haha!

[4akinderworld]

I think you're being facetious, right?

[Patricia84]

I wish. I'm almost quoting the great Stephen Colbert verbatim.

[MideastDove]

A party specific virus.

The good news is that they are quarantining themselves.

[devanate]

Hopefully at Gitmo.

[Lexx790]

Come on people! Glen Beck is an entertainer and comedian posing as a news commentator. I believe he is doing a comedy tour in July. The real tragedy here is people take him and fox as a reliable news source. Wake up people turn on Jim Lehrer once in awhile.

[CJ1]

Wake up and watch whackjobs on TV? How about "wake up and go do something productive, like work..."

[mitsie]

Beck and the far right are inciting violence. My intuition is telling me we will have something happen. I pray that I'm wrong, but between Bachman and this joker they will have an audience who believes them.

[dutch163]

I am afraid you may be correct about that
let's hope nothing happens
