Glenn Beck Is Upset On Twitter!

by Jim Newell  2:28 pm March 22, 2010

After posting zero twats since March 8, when he ordered everyone to watch his historically important Eric Massa interview, Glenn Beck returned to the Twitter yesterday to produce these valuable insights. (The link just goes to audio of the Howard Beale rant from Network, a movie about how corporate media exploits people’s fears for profit.)

We’d recommend folks like Beck consider David Frum’s spot-on GOP critique that everyone’s talking about, but we recommended David Frum’s spot-on GOP critiques in the weeks after the 2008 election and the GOP did not listen, so nevermind, continue yelling at hippies, etc.

who are these “60s sanfran radicals” and how can I become one? Is it an alternative lifestyle, like Canadianness?

OzoneTom March 22, 2010 at 2:32 pm

Scary, because he as been SO RIGHT about everything else that he’s said. In fact he’s in Dick Morris territory.

fishskicanoe March 22, 2010 at 2:32 pm

“We R Coming” ?!

KilgoreTrout_XL March 22, 2010 at 2:33 pm

“60′s sanfran radicals WE R CUMMING”- gotta admit, this guy is pretty good at twitter.

gurukalehuru March 22, 2010 at 2:33 pm

Oh no! Tidbits is coming.

They better be careful about who they’re crushin’ on, that was the source of Mark Foley’s woes.

Terry March 22, 2010 at 2:35 pm

Boy, Glenn Beck has embraced teenage texting lingo with a rare passion, hasn’t he?

ella March 22, 2010 at 2:35 pm

That man really needs to grip. On Mr. Happy. Then let’s see him tweet WE R COMING like he means it.

Cicada March 22, 2010 at 2:35 pm

It’s nice to see that Beck is staying topical with his slam on those 60′s radicals. DON’T TAKE THE BROWN ACID, GLENN. Oh, too late.

Glenn Bleck, “Network” fan.

Does this guy have any fucking clue what that movie is about? What a shitshow.

I’ve seen all the boner-enhancement commercials that pay for your show, Glenn. Ain’t none of your audience coming.

That’s not a tweet, it’s a math problem:

“ths” + “2″ + “r” + “2″ + “whr” = -9 characters

“!!!!!!!!!!” = +9 characters

SOLVED?!

Looks like Glenda needs a time out and a nappy change. Wait, I’ll get the fire hose and your special pills that made you go all happy inside.

Sack up you deluded cocksucker Glenn. Poor Mormoni baby Glen’s gone and shit himself because his side played against adults and lost horribly. Fucking retards, the whole lot of them.

That’s right. Nazis.

Buzz Feedback March 22, 2010 at 2:42 pm

Hate to split hairs but isn’t “restoration” a term that usually refers to monarchies, or Hair Club?

JMP March 22, 2010 at 2:42 pm

Baby Boomer conservatives are really obsessed with the 60s, still sputtering mad against the hippies; maybe it’s because everyone else was having sex but none of the hippie chicks would touch someone who was protesting for the war.

Give it a rest; the good guys eventually won, and the whole thing is long over; the war ended, the civil rights movement, feminism, the sexual revolution, etc. have been at least partially guaranteed by law, are accepted as part of the culture and will not be turning back.

And anyway, like you, the former 60s radicals are all old people by now; the majority of the population does not personally remember this stuff, as we were not born yet or still children at the time. Going on and on about the good old days is bad enough; hearing old men rant against those they considered enemies nearly half a century ago is even worse.

weejee March 22, 2010 at 2:42 pm

Frum is spot on. On HCR they bet the house on red and ball on Pelosi’s little wheel landed on the green. Appears that through November they are going to bet the farm on the red. If the demrats can find/keep their cajones/huevos and do the math, the odds remain in the (Speaker of the) House’s favor, they’ll be winners in the fall.

tiny mexican March 22, 2010 at 2:46 pm

Has he ever watched beyond the first fifteen minutes of Network? Does he know the network in question is exploiting a mentally ill man to garner record ratings? And that it doesn’t have a happy ending?

bfstevie March 22, 2010 at 2:47 pm

Glenn still leaves unanswered the question about whether we can count on him to show up at Rush Limbaugh’s house, to help him pack.

Welcome to the first day of socialism, Comrades.

Jukesgrrl March 22, 2010 at 2:47 pm

[re=536902]Botswana Meat Commission FC[/re]: It took him 25 years to comprehend a single Bruce Springsteen song, so understanding the movie Network is probably too much for the Beckster.

DemmeFatale March 22, 2010 at 2:50 pm

[re=536918]Botswana Meat Commission FC[/re]: Really. Glenn thinks he’s “figured out” Bruce, and now Network. What’s next? YMCA?

MarSF March 22, 2010 at 2:50 pm

When are the Beck “Restoration” Teabaggers coming to “SanFran”? Will they arrive in carnival freak-show wagons? I can’t wait!

I was a ’70 punk not a ’60 san fran whatever the fuck. Will I get crushed too?

President Beeblebrox March 22, 2010 at 2:51 pm

Does anyone remember Glenda’s botched hemorrhoid surgery? His hospital-bed video is a classic butthurt Beck speech. All it needed was some lines about a Christmas sweater.

Again, I say, Fox should just report that the HCR bill failed, that Bush is still president, everything is fine, just keep shopping, etc. It would not be any further from actual reality than what they regularly report.

The tea baggers need to get their priority straight. I mean there were a million illegal Mexicans in Washington yesterday demanding free houses and abortions and where were all the real ‘Mericans? Busy harrassing Congressional staffers. Come on people.

As an aside Rush is moving to Costa Rica. Can we start a facebook page to help him pack?

Glenn’s plan as I understand it is going to find some sanfran radicals, then rise and crush, rise and crush, until they are coming together? I don’t get it. Why do his shoulders have to be square?

I like how he sacrifices vowels to allow more exclamation points within his 140-character limit. Actual English is immaterial when faced with the possibility of more punctuational hysteria.

pdiddycornchips March 22, 2010 at 3:37 pm

I no longer get upset at anything Beck says. What I really can’t understand is the suits at the networks who know everything out of his mouth is utter bullshit and yet the give him a mega-phone so he can reach that rich wingnut demographic. At the same time, these same suits honestly believe they are practicing journalists in the honorable tradition of Ed Marrow and Walter Cronkite. Marrow would have kicked Beck in the balls and put out his lit cigarette on his fat jowls. Television journalism is an oxymoron.

Hart88 March 22, 2010 at 3:42 pm

“Network”? Really?

He’s either the dumbest fuck alive or he has absolutely no self-awareness.

PlanetWingnuta March 22, 2010 at 3:43 pm

comicbookguy if u dont start one i will.

can we call it HELP RUSH KEEP HIS PROMISE AND MOVE TO COSTA RICA

WadISay March 22, 2010 at 3:46 pm

I don’t understand Beck’s punctuation convention. Why are “ths” and “whr” lowercase and everything else is up? If you were reading this, would you speak those words in a normal tone and scream everything else? WTF?

LiveFromSinusCity March 22, 2010 at 3:47 pm

He’s just upset because his butt-buddy Rush is leaving for Costa Rica tomorrow….

Mr Blifil March 22, 2010 at 3:59 pm

[re=537042]Hart88[/re]: He just throws whatever feces he has at hand at the wall to see if it sticks. He never stands still long enough for anyone to question him as to his consistency. In fact his blatant inconsistencies are part of the act, it’s a lot like playing pranks on the substitute teacher, only he is the father of 4 kids and does it for a living. So he’s not that dumb, and doesn’t value self-awareness, he doesn’t even know what that is. My guess is that he’s just guided purely by the pleasure principle, and every other consideration can suck it. Lot’s of dry drunks and former drug heads are like that.

Guppy06 March 22, 2010 at 4:04 pm

“Restoration?” I knew he was a right-wing reactionary, but isn’t reestablishing the monarchy a bit much?
