Fun:
“They intend to vote on the Sabbath, during Lent, to take away the liberty that we have right from God,” [Steve] King said.
“Faith has been perverted,” [Glenn] Beck responded, then repeated. “They are going to vote for this damn thing on a Sunday, which is the Sabbath, during Lent.”
Beck continued:
“Here is a group of people that have so perverted our faith and our hope and our charity, that is a — this is an affront to God.” [...]
“I think it’s absolutely appropriate that these people are trying to put the nail in the coffin on our country on a Sunday — something our founders would have never, ever, ever done. Out of respect for God.”

Lent? Isn’t that getting kind of Papist-y for some of these guys?
Does Glen Beck think “founding fathers” is slang for “Ronald Reagan”? because that would explain a lot…
Because only on Sunday do we care about the games on TV more than the games in DC.
The dude says: It’s all a part of your sick Cynthia thing, man. Taking care of her fucking dog. Going to her fucking synagogue. You’re living in the fucking past.
You know, even before I looked at the HuffPo story, I thought, “Didn’t those fuckers meet on a Sunday night to fuck with the Shiavo case?” And yes, they did. On PALM FUCKING SUNDAY no less.
Steve King needs his fingernails pulled out.
And we all know God does not want anyone to have health care.
Where’s Vanna?
Sunday is Glenn’s day for crying and masturbating.
And I know for a fact that none of the people complaining about this have ever appeared on a Sunday talk show.
Say, you know who else kept claiming to know what G-d wanted for his country?
And when’s the last time a Mormon invoked a Catholic holiday to justify his religious a**hattery?
Yes, it’s much more G-d’s will to have another hundred Americans die each day HCR is delayed.
Also desecrating St. Schaivo’s Day.
Jewish people want you to know that it was originally Saturday for the Sabbath.
And without Jewish Dr’s we wouldn’t have health care at all, so…
It’s ok. Just tell Congress to attend the early service.
[re=533522]Buzz Feedback[/re]: Every day is a good day for Glenda’s bawling and fapping.
And Saturday, for Latter-Day’s, … and Wednesday, for ashes, & Thursdays, for Maundays (Mondays?) & with Easter coming up – to be advocating Health care, it’s just, well, just, against Christian Science….
I’m so excited this bill might finally pass, I’m going to take a crap on a picture of baby Jesus! Maybe I’ll wait until Sunday to make it extra sacrilegious.
It’s a political movement composed entirely of Chris Crockers.
Huh, Beckhead just said we should be turning in our parish priests and ministers to “the authorities” if they advocate helping the poor. Now he’s all worried about the sacredness of Sunday and Lent. You know where to go MOF, and they’ll be leaving the light on for you.
[re=533533]Cicada[/re]: When I crap on a baby Jeebus picture I like for him to be wearing one of those tuxedo t-shirts…
The fake-ass God these lunatics describe really is some kind of constantly-umbrage-taking pussy.
[re=533522]Buzz Feedback[/re]: Phoney loves choochie.
Please let me know when Fox News shuts down on Sundays out of respect for God.
I sure feel bad for Congresspeople working so many evenings and weekends. They should unionize.
[re=533538]ArugulaTeleprompterz[/re]: Jesus tied for your sins.
[re=533519]tootsieroll[/re]: Yeah, well, that was to do God’s work. This is just helping the poors, and God don’t like them cause all they want is socialjism.
[re=533542]norbizness[/re]: Right. Glenn Beck believes in a God that behaves like Glenn Beck.
God was the first victim of the death panels.
Steve King is enraged with how Congress is totally dissing Benito Juarez.
[re=533519]tootsieroll[/re]: hook the sick and poors up to a feeding tube and then they would defend them?
……. does Medicare even pay for that?
their god can blow me!
We should sacrifice a fatted pig to God to mollify Him for this transgression. Since Beck is so dedicated to keeping God happy, this ought to be done on his next – and last, for obvious reasons, – show.
Okay, so Sunday’s out.
And, you can’t do it on Monday, because it’s Wolf Blitzer’s birthday, and that wouldn’t be fair.
We’ve already established that Tuesday is for Lost, only, and matters of national importance can go fuck themselves.
Wednesday is “hump day”, and so Republicans will all be spending the evening with pages, and so there will be no quorum.
On Thursday, Alicia Keyes’s “Freedom Tour” is playing at the Verizon center, and House Democrats don’t all go, Republicans will accuse them of hating freedom.
If they do it on Friday, they’re just trying to sneak it in ahead of the news cycle, those cynical Democrats.
And, if they do it on Saturday, a.k.a. “Joe Lieberman’s Sabbath”, they’re being mean to Joe Lieberman, and picking a day twice as holy as Sunday.
Stupid freedom-hating NOBAMA, trying to get health care reform passed on a day of the week that isn’t made-up.
[re=533562]mumblyjoe[/re]: What about Flursday?
[re=533565]Smoke Filled Roommate[/re]: Nope. This Flursday is Holy Flatulence.
[re=533528]Jumping Jim[/re]: Sunday has never been considered the Sabbath. Its considered “the first day of the week,” according to New Testament scripture the day Christians are to meet. But shhhhh, don’t interrupt the Illsbury Blowboy while he’s on a roll…
Instant karma. I am an atheistic, evolutional, global-warming guy, but I do believe in instant karma.
So if you’re there, Jeezus, thank you for not making me Glenn Beck. But I know your sense of humor, and I really don’t want to see the rest of it. Make that a conditional thank-you that I am not Glenn Beck, because whatever you’re going to do to him, he’s gonna deserve, but I don’t want to hear about it.
[re=533520]Smoke Filled Roommate[/re]: [re=533548]geminisunmars[/re]:
Yes, It is an affront to god for the Health Insurance companies to lose out on stealing from the average citizen.
If it wasn’t for lent, I would tell these fools to STFU. But seeing as its Lent I wouldn’t tell them to STFU.
Jesus healed a man on the Sabbath. As in, took care of his medical needs. Don’t these dumb pigfuckers even read that book of theirs?
[re=533572]kth[/re]: Yeah, but that was the Jewish sabbath, not the real one.
[re=533560]AxmxZ[/re]: Great idea, about the fatted pig, I’m with you 100% on this one! And we have just the pig in mind.
These people are making my head hurt…need health care.
[re=533519]tootsieroll[/re]: About Steve King’s fingernails, I’m starting to think there may be SOME cases where waterboarding is ok.
[re=533572]kth[/re]: No. They don’t read the thing, they just look at the page and shout the words. They don’t take it seriously enough to learn it in the original language (you know, Old English or whatever). And they certainly don’t read it in context, as you would the fuckin sports page for chrissakes.
Look here, it says David had a guy killed so he could fuck the dead guy’s wife. Better than Green Balloons!
Christianoids, Fundies and Mormons don’t observe Lent. Everyone who currently eats meat on Friday shut the fuck up.
It’s official, Fox viewers. Glenn Beck sez America is run by the Pope in Rome. Happy now?
Anything that pisses off Glenn Beck and Peter King at the same time has my unqualified support.
P.S. Yes, even seal clubbing.
The Founders had no problem working on Jebus’ birthday. For the first 60 years after our founding, the government was open for business on December 25. Why does George Washington hate America?
P.P.S. Jesus I’m obtuse. “Even if it were seal clubbing.” Jesus.
Glen Beck is missing a funny hat. Why doesn’t he wear a funny hat every day to increase our enjoyment? The pope is nice enough to wear one. Is Glen Beck better than the pope? I don’t think so!
Just ask yourselves WWJPITT*?
*Who Would Jesus Punch in the Throat?
I sort of liked the age-difference spambot better, but $16 bikinis are definitely piquing my interest. Which link to choose? Which? Gah.
Fine, since the only one’s in Congress who aren’t bound by the Christian Sabbath or a Jesus-related holiday are Jewish congressmen and that Muslim guy, let them vote. And since Eric Cantor is the only Jewish Republican and everyone else Democrats…we have health care.
Suck it Mormon’s trying to pretend their Catholic
PROCTOR: I say – I say – God is dead! A fire, a fire is burning! I hear the boot of Lucifer, I see his filthy face! And it is my face, and yours, Glen Beck! For them that quail to bring men out of ignorance, as I have quailed, and you quail now when you know in all your black hearts that this be fraud

[re=533570]Veritas78[/re]: The main problem with karma is that it isn’t instant often enough. It can take many lifetimes, for instance. No schadenfreude in that whatsoever.
Fuck them both, and indeed all, with a rusty crucifix already. Jeezus H. Christ.
Repukes must have the record on non sequiturs used in actual debate & policy. I mean what in the hell could this mean “to take away the liberty that we have right from God.” It’s up there with Michelle Bachman’s “I voted for prosperity!”
[re=533586]wallythepug[/re]: And don’t forget what else the Founders did on Jesus’s birthday, while founding America. They agreed to a Christmas ceasefire with the British troops, then sailed across the Potomac in the dead of night, and murdered these fellow Christians in their sleep. Ah, General Washington, such a man of god.
[re=533518]franith[/re]: Three thousand years of beautiful tradition, from Moses to Sandy Koufax? You’re goddamn right the Republicans are living in the fucking past!
“They intend to vote on the Sabbath, during Lent, to take away the liberty that we have right from God,”
Just your basic wingnut word salad. It’s like they’re all involved in a giant game of “Can You Top This” with Sarah Palin.
[re=533621]friendlyskies[/re]: Yeah, and you know what the Founding Fathers did on Independence Day? They worked. On a National Holiday fer crissakes– fucking anti-American commie bastards
These bobbleheads acting like they give a damn about Lent is really hilarious.
I would think if working on Sunday is good enough for Wal-mart employees, it’s good enough for Congress.
[re=533610]mollymcguire[/re]: U win
Glenn Beck will get more Easter Gelt in his foreskin sack than anyone, due to faith. Haters should just go ahead and pick up their Skype, flip to page 70 of the Hillshire Farms catalog, and order the big fat dick (next to that ham studded with those pepper corn shits). Then in 4-6 days when the dick comes they can say “Oh my gosh, look at this dick that we just got!”, and then eat that dick. Or maybe Glenn Beck can just fall off of his high horse onto one of those off-road unicycles. One with no seat. Bumpity bump. See, so many choices America!
The “nail in the coffin” of America? Is democracy so fragile to these guys? Jesus, we survived the civil war, the depression, two world wars, the massive social change of the late 60s, 8 years of chimpy, and now a bill that regulates industry profits is going to be “the nail in the coffin”? That’s some pretty great hyperbole!
Also, take away our god given rights, lawl. What rights, exactly? The right of major corporations to rip people off? The right of the state, which collects taxes, to neglect to provide care for its citizens, who fall sick and may die early because of predatory for-profit models of health? What translation of the bible are these people working from, exactly?
Silly pagans, Saturday is the sabbath.
59,000 nuns, Alan!
When all else fails, cry religious foul. Better get on your knees and start praying Beck. By the way….as long as you’re down there….
Sunday isn’t even the Sabbath for all Christians, as the Seventh Day Adventists and some others observe it on Saturday, the Sabbath that Jesus observed. The Buddhist sabbath (uposathatha days) varies according to phases of the moon. The Bahai faith uses Friday for its Sabbath. But it’s obvious from Beck and King’s remarks that Sunday is the Assholes’ sabbath.
John Stewart spent the entire non-interview part of his show parodying Beck tonight. So fucking funny and sad all at once when you realize people buy Beck/King et al as having any sincerity/credibility. The interview, by the way? All about the census with Sec. Commerce Locke, who pointed out about the only original 1790 question we don’t ask anymore is how many slaves you have.
Fuck these faux Christian, faux historian asswipes. That or make em start living by the code of Leviticus, keeping the true Sabbath holy and stop hitting the seafood buffets, prime rib with creamed horseradish and cheeseburgers so hard. How many Iowa douchey farmers would be executed for planting crops together?
Well, my sacred day is Friday. What about me? Asalam Alaikum, man. Quit passing military funding measures on my sacred day.
[re=533659]Berkeley Bear[/re]: And don’t forget there is also a sabbath year. “At the end of every seven years you must cancel debts.” (Deut. 15:1) I’m sure Boehner’s friends at the American Bankers Association will love that one.
I’m no longer a practicing Catholic. But, as a person born and raised into the Catholic Church, and having studied and sweated and toiled in Catholic Schools, and having volunteered in Catholic Mission Soup Kitchens, I can assure you, Mr. Beck, et. al., that Jesus is actually pretty damn OK with Christians doing His works on the Sabbath. And Jesus’ works include first and foremost helping the poor and healing the sick.
It’s pretty cut and dried to me, you filthy fucking, freakish money-grubbing Mormon-convert hypocrite slave to corporate masters. Pretty damn clear to anyone who is not actively engaged in trying to twist and wring the last little drop of decent human Christian charity out of our woefully un-spiritual and un-inspired lives, in pursuit of the elusive, almighty dollar.
Just get it over with and say what you really want to say, which is “NIGGERNIGGERNIGGERNIGGER NIGGERNIGGERNIGGERNIGGER NIGGERNIGGERNIGGERNIGGER NIGGERNIGGERNIGGERNIGGER NIGGERNIGGERNIGGERNIGGER NIGGERNIGGERNIGGERNIGGER NIGGERNIGGERNIGGERNIGGER NIGGERNIGGERNIGGERNIGGER NIGGERNIGGERNIGGERNIGGER !!!!!9!!!11″
Scream it out LOUD, on your show, live on national TeeVee. Do it. You know you want to.
On the other hand, if they just want to do the vote on Saturday, I’m Ok with that. The hell with what the Jews think.
[re=533621]friendlyskies[/re]: I know you beat me to it, but I thought long and hard to come up with a cool comment, so I’m just going to flat out repeat it.
If George (founding father A number 1) hadn’t attacked the God fearing Hessian soldiers who were celebrating Jesus’ Birthday in righteous fashion on Jesus Birthday and all, we wouldn’t even have a country, so STFU.
He said to them, “If any of you has a sheep and it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will you not take hold of it and lift it out? 12How much more valuable is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.” Matthew 12:11
“Jesus again pointed out the hypocrisy in their approach. They would rescue a sheep on the Sabbath (verse 11) — thus even a sheep was more important than resting on the Sabbath — and yet they were so strict that they didn’t allow human needs, whether hunger or healing, to be taken care of on the Sabbath. Their rules were a terrible distortion of what the Sabbath should have been. “How much more valuable is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath” (verse 12). This is what Jesus taught about the Sabbath. Don’t worry about prohibiting work — be more concerned about doing good.
So Jesus healed the man, and the Pharisees wanted to kill Jesus. They thought the holy day was more important than the One who had made it holy.” http://www.wcg.org/lit/law/sabbath/sabbath3.htm
Yea, verily…

CURSED INFIDELS!! The REAL Holy Day is Thursday – sacred to The Great Thor! Just don’t tell Odin about it tho’, ‘cos he’s a right touchy bastard…
[re=533684]ez[/re]: Let’s be fair, though: it seems the debate is less over work the sabbath, per se, than it is about *good* work on the sabbath. The health care bill is seen as *unholy* (unlike the attempts to keep Schaivo “alive”) and immoral, because it contradicts the covenant (The Wealth of Nations), as handed down to Moses on Mount Rushmore.
Haha, just kidding, Adam Smith actually thought a social safety net was a good idea and had all sorts of mean things to say about rich fucks who laze around. Oops!
When will these twats stfu about “god?” The only thing that the real, non-suppressed, jebus was about was telling his followers to live in near poverty and do good deeds for less fortunate people–a very liberal viewpoint that would lead the republicans to tape, nail & superglue him to the cross if he came back today.
The real jebus would have been more than happy with he power elite helping the poor to get health insurance on a Sunday. You can be sure that he would smite the fuck out of Beck, Bart “The Crybaby Whiner” Stupak and the rest of these losers in a hot second if he were around today, right before they mounted him on the old crucifix that is.
[re=533687]wolfcatcher[/re]: Clearly you go to one of those *false churches* Glenn Beck has warned us about. Beware! Your pastor is a wolf in demon-sheep clothing!
Awesome coming from a disciple of “wild west six shooter Jesus”, I really believe the spelling of morman is indeed incorrect, it should be moran (sic).
If the dipshits didn’t use every trick in the book to drag the vote out, they wouldn’t be voting on Sunday. I’m sure most of them would rather vote today and go home.
Ergo, bite me Mr. Beck.
[re=533545]Naked Bunny with a Whip[/re]: Ha Ha you are on a roll.
[re=533624]Joshua Norton[/re]: I would not mind topping Sarah Palin for a good old fashioned hate fuck.
[re=533580]Joshua Norton[/re]:
And I suspect that Beck has put a fair portion of meat in his mouth on Fridays. Maybe even in a (TGI)Fridays, under the table or in the Larry Craig playroom…
Tell me. Does Beck really believe that God condones narrow minded, counter-Christian, purely hateful speech and actions? I’m pretty sure that He doesn’t roll that way. And being as understanding as He is, He probably won’t mind at all sharing just this one special season for this truly historic event. It’s about time that cooler heads were prevailing. Maybe there’s hope for us after all.
Ok, fine. Cancel the Sunday vote and then invite all Congresscritters to a special “service of national unity” at the National Cathedral. Rep. King and Becky-boy had better be in the front row where they can listen to the rector’s sermon on Jesus’s concern for the poor and that whole rich man and the eye of the needle thing.
Please, someone at Fox News that wants to quickly get fired and make themselves a hero, post video on YouTube of Glen Beck backstage where he removes his makeup to reveal that he’s actually Michell Bachman.
[re=533685]Bearbloke[/re]: I believe the Druze also observe Thursday.
What the Beckster neglected to tell his willfully-ignorant disciples is that in 2005, the Senate convened on Palm Sunday. And guess which party controlled the Senate then?
Now that I think of it, maybe Mr. Mormon didn’t tell them because he’s so ignorant himself (and stupid, to draw the distinction) he might not know. Either way, he can’t STFU fast enough.

So Glenn’s justAS religious AShe preTends.
So Glenn’s justAS religious AShe pretends!
Glenn, hate to break it to you, but Sundays don’t count as part of Lent. Which is why that’s the day Catholics binge on the things they gave up. Like soda or chocolate or altar boys.
Fun Jesus quotes about the Sabbath:
Then he asked them, “If one of you has a son or an ox that falls into a well on the Sabbath day, will you not immediately pull him out?” (Luke 14:5)
Indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, the synagogue ruler said to the people, “There are six days for work. So come and be healed on those days, not on the Sabbath.” The Lord answered him, “You hypocrites! Doesn’t each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or donkey from the stall and lead it out to give it water? Then should not this woman, a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has kept bound for eighteen long years, be set free on the Sabbath day from what bound her?” (Luke 13-16)
Jesus said to them, “My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I, too, am working.” (John 5:17)
One Sabbath Jesus was going through the grainfields, and as his disciples walked along, they began to pick some heads of grain. The Pharisees said to him, “Look, why are they doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”He answered, “Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need? In the days of Abiathar the high priest, he entered the house of God and ate the consecrated bread, which is lawful only for priests to eat. And he also gave some to his companions.” Then he said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.” (Mark 2:23-28)
So, Jesus’s take on the Sabbath? A day of rest is great and all, but if we’re talking something important like healing the sick or feeding the hungry, by all means.
Joshua Norton: “Just your basic wingnut word salad. It’s like they’re all involved in a giant game of “Can You Top This” with Sarah Palin.”
From Todd’s lips to Beck ears. Though, I think he did say please.
I swear to God (not Glenda’s), the more I hear of these Rightards the more I think of startled chimps in a cage whooping at each other and at nothing…Except that the chimps make more sense.
“I think it’s absolutely appropriate that these people are trying to put the nail in the coffin on our country on a Sunday — something our founders would have never, ever, ever done. Out of respect for God.”
Uh…aren’t the founders the ones who came up with the whole separation of church and state thing?
[re=533671]artpepper[/re]: And yet Dubya celebrated the seventh year of his presidency by increasing the national debt by several billion dollars. In January 2016, Beck will be complaining that Obama is offending God because it’s the seventh year of his presidency and he hasn’t cleared the defecit.
This reminds me of the douchebags protesting the election area being open on Sunday in South Carolina for early voting in the 2008 election. Of course, the line of people waiting to vote were African Americans and the people protesting this affront to God were white people carrying Sarah Palin campaign signs and Confederate flags.
After all their hyperbolic foaming at the mouth, this is all they have left…”They’re voting on a Sunday…Whaaa!”
[re=533672]Lascauxcaveman[/re]: To heck with your catechism. We all know that Jesus would never work health care on the Sabbath.
I’d like to solve the puzzle, Pat…

Yep, those ultramontane Catholics, our Founding Fathers (who didn’t celebrate Christmas and Easter because they were too pagan, and considered idleness a sin) would never do anything on a Sunday. Jesus, these Republicans just get dumber and dumber.
