Glenn Beck Photo FAIL: Fox Host's Site Runs Unfortunate Juxtaposition (PICTURE)

Today wasn't the best day for Glenn Beck's website to rely on a random image generator.

While the media goes back and forth about whether or not Fox News or conservative talk radio had an impact on Jared Lee Loughner's decision to go on a rampage, Beck unknowingly made a convincing case against himself when an image of him holding a gun appeared next to a quote where he condemns violence.

Twitter user @StopBeck of StopBeck.com posted the screengrab on Twitpic and the unfortunate juxtaposition has been gaining a lot of attention online.

Judging from the contorted grip he has on the weapon, Glenn's right hand doesn't know what his left is doing. That and his brain is out to lunch permanently.

Faux tough guy with a prop gun. What's the big deal, he wants to be James Bond but he is Pee Wee Herman.

You can literally see his meds swimming around behind his eyes. This guy is all shades of 'pilled up'.

I guess he can't be as P.A.R.A.N.I.O.D as some people say:

He promotes people's backing up of their hard drives to off-site vendor locations.

Not only does that place your more critical files in someone else's hands, but the Feds might be able to access that data instead of introducing in on your home workstation. I'm not sure how that all would work, but he seems to be OK with giving your private files to others to hold.

That was an outtake image from a canceled TV pilot remake of "Peter Gun"!

In this story, the detective's Johnson actually can turn itself into a gun when needed.

It never made its way out of pilot when they showed scenes of him cleaning his gun.

I wonder if he ever wears a bright red g-string while posing with his gun.

Hard to tell from the picture, but it looks from the way his is holding the pistol that if he actually pulled the trigger the recoiling slide might just take his thumb off.

Funny. Your right. That is the first thing they tell you if you are going to shoot one of those. Even a lib from NC knows that.

Caught in another lie. Does he think it's cool to look like a madman with a gun! Scare the hell out of my dog! Can't get her out from under the bed.

Wouldn't that be funny if prior postings had that image with "Taking back America"?

What kind of a life must someone have to be sitting in front of a website that uses a "random image generator" in the hopes to catch a contradicting image?

For that matter, how path_etic must the site be to make it a "news" story?

A random s.m.u.t generator would be more fun.
