Glenn Beck Rants About Serving Kids Vegetarian Food, Bizarrely Praises PETA, Screams At Al Gore For Not Eating Tofurkey (VIDEO)

On Tuesday, in more bizarre, nonsensical ranting that has become Glenn Beck's M.O., the Fox News anchor jumped on a story about the UK climate chief stating that not eating meat was better for the planet.

Beck proceeds to interpret this as though he'll somehow be personally forced to stop eating meat. He then becomes horrified about the "indoctrination" of school children in Baltimore, which has instituted a Meatless Monday lunch program. The "controversy" of serving vegetarian food in schools has also been described by Lou Dobbs as a "political storm in the making".

He then praises PETA for its consistency on climate change policy (though it is an animal rights organization) and demands that Al Gore put down his cheeseburgers.

Beck also promises a full hour devoted to the Copenhagen climate talks on Friday and how it will mean the end of American sovereignty. We can hardly wait.

I now expect the GOP to introduce a bill to ban cheese sandwiches because, thanks to Beck, everyone knows they lead to homosexual communism.

We have ingested meat all through written history. Beck is right, if you don't like meat, or just want to be vegan feel free. Just don't tell me I'm harming the climate, which unbiased educated people know is a hoax. This movement is riddled with hypercritical narrow minded hippies, for lack of a better word. That have one thing in mind that is control. These like minded people are liberal on drugs and sex, but want to control everything else that policy will allow. They stack lie upon lie like the polar bears are going extint, when reality there are more polar bears than in recorded history and Alaska issued 20%more permits for hunting polar bear. The ice caps are much thicker and larger than projected, and global warming is a non starter. However they won't let that stop them, they still spin the lies, then get some like minded news person to run a story of the climate tragedy of the day. No one want dirty water, filthy air, and tainted food, but most do not want to be taxed into oblivion for a hoax.

In terms of wanting control, yes, some vegetarians and environmentalists behave just like Christian evangelicals and abortion protesters. You do have a point.

Except for the shooting people part, of course. Our right-wing friends have the market cornered on shooting people who disagree with them.

It is in Red States, you get extra points for driving your pickup with your seatbelt unfastened.

Would it be considered a hate crime to send Beck brocoli sprouts with little nooses wrapped around them?

I think the broccoli might have a good case against you.

"My last meal will be a giant steak."

Taking into account choking and heart attack statistics, I believe Glenn Beck is right on this one.

Can we send him a box of Omaha steaks?

I can't watch him without thinking "what an a**h*le"!
He so wants to be Keith Olberman but falls way short every time in the smart, witty, cutting and even remotely sensical commentary department.
Why do I watch these videos? It's like a train wreck. I can't keep my eyes averted.

I find that it is actually kind of typical of meat-eaters, even less idiotic ones, to feel personally threatened when I tell them I'm a vegetarian, as if my choice is somehow a condemnation of theirs, despite the fact that I never make it an issue. By the way, why isn't viewed as indoctrination for schools to serve nothing but meat the other four days of the week?

What kind of reaction do you get that you makes you think that?! for example...?

That's the way many sheeple think when someone does something that isn't mainstream.

well, he is just like those of us who live in giant mansions, fly private jets, and drive around in black-limo SUVs

as for me, i use very little power in my studio apartment, and ride a bicycle most places, and always travel coach when i fly (never the energy wasting first class, and certainly not a private jet).
I also don't have (as Al does), an energy wasting swimming pool in my large house, and unlike Al, I dont waste precious water watering my lawn.... i don't even have a lawn.

I am not saying I am better than Al, but I also don't tell people to save energy and then use up 10-20 times as much as the average american.

Oh, and i just have one home, not three (what a waste of energy, and resources to have a separate home for when you are in other oft visited locations). When i am in other cities, i stay in a hostel, or other energy efficinet drelling (a tent when possible). Would Al ever stay in a hostel?
or even a tiny Motel 6 to say energy?
we all know the answer to that.

If Al Gore is ever seen pulling up to a drive-thru window at McDonalds ordering a BigMac in his SUV that is a sure sign of the coming of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse

exactly, even a broken clock is right twice a day

...and glenn, like a broken clock, was right twice as well.

first about al gore being somewhat of a phony

and secondly about how peta actually deserves respect for being one of the few leaders in the green movement who is actually consistent

So what were all those meatless Fridays I grew up with in public school? Was that Obama, too?

[Vin James]

No, according to Beck & Co. that was Mao. This is the second wave.
