VIDEOS- Glenn Beck going blind? 2006: “Just to piss them off, I’m going to put in Braille on the coffee pot … ‘Pot is hot.’ Ow!”

Glenn Beck’s keynote speech from his final American Revival held in Salt Lake City

Sorry to expose you to Beck’s nauseating, offensive, hypocritical insanity, I rarely do that. But my pal Barkway linked me to a couple of videos (relevant segment in first one at about 6:45, second one at about 1:45), reminding me that Beck contradicted himself (surprise!) only a few years ago while being nauseatingly offensive and hypocritical.

Here’s Mr. Sensitivity now:

…Fox News host Glenn Beck revealed that he may be going blind.

During his speech [...], Beck told the audience, “I can’t focus my eyes.”

Beck, 46, says he has been diagnosed with macular dystrophy

That’s not all that he can’t focus; has he had a doctor examine his brain?

By the way, Blech, your progressive blindness is not limited to your eyesight, and as much as I don’t wish any physical ailment on anyone, that is a fact, not an insult.

Of note, in the midst of his tearful ramblings about his new affliction, Blech didn’t mind slamming health care reform, which only proves my point.

Now for the inevitable hypocrisy. This is a clip from his old CNN show back in August 2006:

Beck:

I work at Radio City in midtown Manhattan, and up by the doors, you know, like where the — you know — the office kitchen is, in Braille, on the wall, it says “kitchen.” You’d have to — a blind person would have to be feeling all of the walls to find “kitchen.” Just to piss them off, I’m going to put in Braille on the coffee pot — I’m going to put, “Pot is hot.” Ow!

And this cretin is still getting paid the big bucks by his loving ClusterFox family.

    Bravo, Bros! keep going like this, more good info again.

    Pardon my cynicism, but I have to wonder if this is true or just a ploy to regain sympathy after his “Jews killed Jesus” faux pas. Remember several years back when Rush Limbaugh stated his was going deaf. He seems (physically) fine and well to me.

    Seriously, my county administration building, built in 1928, has three flights of marble stairs within it. At each landing, on the right side, as you are proceeding down the first step, there is a braille sign that says, “stairs”.
    No shit Sherlock…as the blind person has already proceeded ass-over-teakettle down the flight of stairs. Each floor has this. You literally have to have already been on the second tread to reach the sign to read it.

    Now I know that Glenn Beck was the likely culprit to have installed those signs.

    Thank you Mr. Dak. And the reason for that is, I actually said I wouldn't,
    and I didn't.

    But I have no problem mocking hypocrisy.

  • MrDak

    I read it again looking for disability mocking but still didn't find it.

    Nice try.

    Uh, no, you actually did mock his disability, using his hypocrisy as a justification.

    When reading Beck's quote, I didn't realize it was actually Beck, and thought the writer had done a great job of satirizing the Fox cretin. When I realized it was a quote of Beck himself, I was disgusted with myself for being stupid enougth to think that Beck could be satirized. Would you satirize someone who plays with his own fecal matter?

    If you notice, Amadi, I made a point of NOT mocking his possible disability.
    Only his hypocrisy.

    It would be nice if this posed a wake-up call of some sort to the man, though I doubt that it will. But it would also be nice if the left doesn't take this as an opportunity to mock him based on what, if it's in fact real, is a disability. His repugnant ideas are enough to smear him with.

    Beck: Feces with eyes and a mouth. Correction blind feces with eyes and a mouth

    Macular dystrophy is an autosomal recessive condition – abnormality in genes or chromosomes. (which sort of fits Beck). If in fact he has this, how unfortunate. Perhaps someone should write ass in braile across his butt so he knows which end goes down. I personally think he is heading toward a 'Benny Hinn' moment. He will miraculously be healed – either by his own powers or those of a faith healer yet to be named. If this were not the age of television he would be going from tent to tent….

    He made fun of the blind, and he's going blind himself. He's made fun of the poor, the gays, the elderly, the ill, and even the dead. Can't he take a hint that someone is trying to tell him to STFU?
