If nothing else, it proves that insanity has the potential to be highly rewarding financially. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=22591\" target=\"_blank\">Or maybe not<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=22250\" target=\"_blank\">Glenn Beck Confirms That He Really Was Crazy When He Said All Those Crazy Things<\/a><\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cAbout five years ago, right around the time we met in Washington, D.C. for 8\/28, I had begun to have a string of health issues that, quite honestly, made me look crazy. And, quite honestly, I felt crazy because of them.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The problem as this relates to Beck is that he has a history of being a pathological liar. It is, therefore, difficult to believe that this confirmed huckster isn&#8217;t just engaging in another scam. [&#8230;] It would certainly explain Beck\u2019s bizarre ravings about a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=3788\" target=\"_blank\">global Islamic Caliphate<\/a>. Or his hallucinatory visions of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=1389\" target=\"_blank\">socialist art<\/a> planted throughout Manhattan by Nelson Rockefeller. Or his numerous <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=3925\" target=\"_blank\">declarations of imminent doom<\/a>, none of which ever came to pass.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=21928\" target=\"_blank\">Glenn Beck Wants Americans To Pay More For Gas To Help Russia And Saudi Arabia<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Two years ago, when gas prices were soaring, Beck engaged in conspiracy theorizing that blamed President Obama for deliberately causing the spike as some sort of plot to advance social justice or environmentalism. Beck asserted that the high cost of fuel would lead to war with the Middle East as a collapsing America became desperate for cheap energy.<\/p>\n<p>Guess what happened in the past two years? Gas prices have plummeted and Beck now regards that as a portent of doom. He says that it is <em>\u201cnot good for America,\u201d<\/em> and will lead to war with the Middle East and Russia.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=21160\" target=\"_blank\">Glenn Beck\u2019s Lunatic Ebola Conspiracy Theory: Obama Hates Dallas<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Obviously President Obama\u2019s agenda centers around the fact that he hates Dallas so much that he arranged to have an Ebola-infected Liberian fly there and die. [&#8230;] Unfortunately for Beck, his theory falls apart when facts are brought into the conversation. First and foremost, it is not true that Dallas <em>\u201cdoesn&#8217;t particularly care for the President.\u201d<\/em> In 2012 Obama was reelected with 57% of the vote from Dallas County. That\u2019s a larger margin than he won nationally. Obama also beat McCain in Dallas by the same amount in 2008.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=16361\" target=\"_blank\">Glenn Beck Feels Oppressed Because He Can\u2019t Say \u2018Fag\u2019 And \u2018Nigger\u2019<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>In the ever paranoid and dystopian world of Glenn Beck, the burdens of tyranny are a constant aggravation for him. Being a persecuted white Christian male in a nation that abhors such creatures must cause him terrible distress. And what is it that he yearns for to bring him some small measure of relief? Nothing more than to be able to utter the words <em>\u201cfag\u201d<\/em> and <em>\u201cnigger\u201d<\/em> with the carefree abandon that he believes is his birthright.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=14832\" target=\"_blank\">Poor Glenn Beck Gets Burned Defending Criminal Tea Party Creeps<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Let this be a lesson for you, Glenn Beck. The next time you go out on limb to defend the Tea Party from having any complicity with wrongdoing, remember who you are defending. After all, the Tea Party is a phony <em>\u201cgrassroots\u201d<\/em> creation of the Koch brothers that is populated by bigots and birthers and an array of far-right fringe conspiracy wackoids.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=14310\" target=\"_blank\">Glenn Beck Begs To Be Martyred (And It\u2019s All On Video)<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Beck explained why he believes that he is not the target of constant vitriol from the Obama administration. He actually seemed to be bitterly disappointed that the minions of evil in the White House were neglecting to harass him. But he was not short of an explanation for it:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;These people know who Martin Luther King is. They know who Dietrich Bonhoeffer is. And they know you screw with somebody who is willing to die for what they believe in \u2013 is not gonna shut up \u2013 go ahead. You know who Nelson Madela is. Imprison me. Go ahead, imprison me. I will not sit down. I will not shut up. I won\u2019t. I will not conform. I will not comply. Period.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Beck\u2019s furious taunting that he be imprisoned because of his unwillingness to shut up begs the question, <em>\u201cWho asked you to shut up?\u201d<\/em> Beck is deliriously adamant that he will never sit down or shut up no matter how much no one is asking him to. It\u2019s kind of like promising the Moon that you\u2019ll stop shooting arrows at it. The Moon doesn&#8217;t know you\u2019re doing it and wouldn&#8217;t care if it did.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><strong>Get the ALL NEW 2nd volume of<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00QSSMOES\/ref=as_li_tl?\nie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B00QSSMOES&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=newscorpsecom-20&#038;linkId=TLI6JC2OYE22MUTS\" target=\"_blank\">Fox Nation vs. Reality: The Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><br \/>\nAvailable now at Amazon.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Yes, it&#8217;s been a banner year for Mr. Beck.

Of course, it hasn&#8217;t altered his abnormal behavior, so the effect of that revelation may be as illusory as the basis for his wild imaginings.<\/p>\n<p>On the plus side, that means that the prayers of America&#8217;s comedians have been answered and that more comically bizarre ravings will be forthcoming in the new year.
