Glenn Beck Jumps the Shark
Before we conservatives could finish celebrating the most historic Senate victory of our lifetimes, we had to listen to Glenn Beck rip into the Senator-elect for his 1982 Cosmopolitan photo shoot and for his teasing ?available? comments about his daughters in his victory speech. As soon as I heard Scott Brown playfully tease his beloved daughters, I knew the left would try to twist it into an attack, a fear quickly confirmed on MSNBC by Rachel Maddow. I expected that, but I never dreamed that after one of the greatest conservative nights in history that a so-called conservative would join in on these ridiculous attacks, as Glenn Beck did today?.twice.
This, in my opinion, is the last straw for this no-talent scrub, this drunken idiot, this smearing hack. Conservatives defended Beck at every turn, during each of his many missteps. It?s a shame he couldn?t offer that same support to Scott Brown.
?The Great One? Mark Levin put the blubbering Beck in his place today:
You know, the really ignorant thing about criticizing Brown is that in kidding around with his girls, it actually shows he is a good family man. Ask any guy who is a father of girls: doing something deliberately to provoke the ?oh daddy!? squirm of embarrassment from the teenage daughters is something only a father with a good, comfortable relationship does (and he never misses a chance to do so).
If smearing Brown was a joke, I don?t think it was very funny. It?s very weird.
Exactly. Senator Brown?s joke shows just how good of a father he really is and how close his relationship with his family is. Not only does he seem to be a great family man, but he has also proven to be a great politician, and that is what I think is truly worrying Glenn Beck. Beck sees 2010 as his year to shine, and how dare Scott Brown take away any of his spotlight. Brown shows how our party can be both conservative and a big tent, instead of Beck?s twisted third party vision. Beck sees the Tea Party growing beyond his ability to shape and control, and that is what is driving his moronic attacks on the new Massachusetts Senator, who just so happens to be a 30 year veteran of the Army National Guard, service Beck would know nothing about.
But since GlSee full size imageenn wants to talk about fathers and daughters and stand on his soap box and preach, then I?m afraid it?s time to knock him off that box. Beck is the LAST person who should be giving any father anywhere grief on how they treat their children. Perhaps he is jealous of Brown?s relationship with his daughters, because while Beck?s daughters Hannah and Mary (who has cerebral palsy) were growing up he was far too drunk and drug addicted to joke with them the way Scott is able to do with his children. A drug addict and an alcoholic first, a father second was the story of Glenn Beck?s life; it?s who he was as his daughters grew up and it?s who he was when his first wife left him. However, despite his pathetic weakness for alcohol and drugs, conservatives everywhere forgave him and accepted him after he turned his life around. You would think a man who was so embraced and forgiven would be able to forgive someone else for a change, at the very least for a photo shoot from 28 years ago that was used to pay for college. Sarah Palin participated in a beauty pageant to pay for school; Scott Brown posed in a magazine for the same reason. Life?s tough and sometimes you do what you have to do to make ends meet, rather then giving up and surrendering to your addictions like a coward.
So I and conservatives everywhere call on Glenn Beck to apologize to Senator-elect Scott Brown and his family. We expect this kind of behavior from Olbermann, but we expect better from you. Shape up or ship out.
