Glenn Beck And Radio Crew Tell John McCain ‘You Suck’; Compare Senator To Gollum

video
» 145 comments

Man, John McCain has certainly not done himself any favors with the Conservative media by insulting the Tea Party during the debt ceiling debate. Following responses from Sean Hannity and Christine O’Donnell, Glenn Beck and his co-hosts, Stu Burguiere and Pat Gray, absolutely lit into the former presidential candidate on their radio show this morning.

Riffing off McCain’s “Tea Party Hobbit” line,* Beck compared him to one of The Lord of the Ring‘s less attractive characters, Gollum. He also said McCain has become indistinguishable from Dennis Kucinich and that he’d done a “Vulcan mind meld” or was growing Invasion of the Body Snatchers pods with Lindsey Graham. All in all, this was a shockingly nerdy conversation.

However, perhaps the angriest host was Burguiere, who pointed out that McCain was the guy who lost to a candidate mocking gun fans and the religious…and lost to him in Iowa! Admitting that it wasn’t the most complex analysis, Burguiere summed up his thoughts by telling McCain simply, “You suck.”

*By the way, we all realize that McCain was quoting a Wall Street Journal editorial and didn’t come up with the “Hobbit” insult himself, right? So, as much as I’m appreciating all these nerdy insults directed at him, they’re not entirely appropriate.

Wait, what’s that? He also called the Tea Party’s demands “bizarro?” Oh, well, then carry on.

    Perhaps you haven’t noticed, Glen(n), but lots and lots of people, Christian, Muslim and Jew, liberal, moderate and conservative, Democrat and Republican, red and yellow, black and white? Gramps is doing what he is best at, changing his positions as the nation changes.

    Jon, How about doing a piece on the GREAT segment highlighting the racism directed at Black TP’ers.  It was awesome!  Which is why you are completely ignoring it. It’s shreds the left.

    Glenn Beck needs to learn from Bill Maher.  Maher would never settle for “you sucks,” but would immediately pull out the F-word.  And instead of Gollum, Maher’s favorite terms of comparison is MILF.  Let’s face it, when it comes to insults, obscenity and abuse, the liberal media have raised the bar very, very high.  Or is that very, very low?

    John McCain is an america rn wartime veteran who has more than earned his right to speak his mind. He may not be the smartest man, but he is loyal to the US of AMERICA for which he fought and has carried the scars of battle since. He is a real patriot. And he refuses to “PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE” TO THE TPARTY NATION which is no where any decent american used to freedom would want to live. McCain has made his pledge of allegiance to the to the US constitution which he serves above Party. The TPARTY NATION lead by King Grover Norquist is a dictatorship which  is impatient with democracy and wants to run govt like a business with orders from the top down. It values wealth over work and thinks nothing of imposing taxes on individuals without representation (Benton Harbor, MI and the EFMs) THE TPARTY NATION wants make govt impotent and unable to stop the bilking of the american economy by WALL STREET AND international corporations. The TPARTY nation wants to eviscerate public education, privatize SS, gut Medicare and kill Medicaid. The TPARTY NATION wants to remove borders to free trade and those protections of govt that assure product and food safety to consumers. The TPARTY NATION is racist, evangelical and bigoted. The TPARTY NATION wants to sell off public lands to the highest bidder and wants no obstacles to FOREIGN investment in the US economy. The TPARTY NATION wants to expand the privileges of the AMERICAN FREE TRADE ZONES to allow foreign govts to establish factories and towns on US soil, like in Utah, wants to treat the foreign owned acreage as foreign sovereign territories who can build their factories and import workers who would not be subject to US income taxes. The TPARTY NATION is all about the supremacy of Wealth and Power and little to do with “serving” people or abiding by the US constitution as drafted by the founders.

    BREAKING:  Allen West’s Letter To McCain

    From: Z112 West, Allen 
    Sent: Tuesday, July 28, 2011 04:48 PM
    To: McCain, John 
    Cc: McCarthy, Kevin; Blyth, Jonathan; Pelosi, Nancy; Cantor, Eric 
    Subject: Unprofessional and Inappropriate Sophomoric Behavior from John McCain

    Look, John, I understand that after I departed Akido Shobukan Dojo you directed your floor speech comments directly toward the Tea Party. Let me make myself perfectly clear, you want a personal fight, I am happy to oblige. You are the most vile, unprofessional ,and despicable member of the US Senate. If you have something to say to me, stop being a coward and say it to my face, otherwise, shut the heck up. Focus on your own congressional district!

    I am bringing your actions today to our Majority Leader and my mother and from this time forward, understand that I shall defend myself forthright against your heinous characterless behavior……which dates back to the disgusting loss to the “organizer in Chief” NoBama, November 2008 in EVERYWHERE!

    You have proven repeatedly that you are not a Man, therefore, shall not be afforded due respect from me!

    Steadfast and Loyal

    The McCain from 2008 was no longer the McCain from 2000 that centrists like myself admired and applauded. Unfortunately, his move to the far right — not to mention his choice of a complete incompetent as his running mate — was a personification of what was happening to the party, which is why I eventually left it. I couldn’t drink the Kool-Aid any longer and still respect myself. Maybe there are days when McCain feels that way, too, and his comments yesterday are a reflection of that.

    Today America’s prose stylingist pundit Peggy Noonan wrote a column
    about how all the “inside the Beltway” “chattering classes and
    political strategists and inside dopesters of the Amtrak Acela Line”
    were “Bubbleheads” who were bound to”misjudge” how well Sarah Palin
    would play in the “nation of Wasillas” wherein she could potentially
    prove a “brilliant” and “magic” “transformative political presence” if
    she avoided the nasty Republicans with “no interest in protecting or
    advancing her.” Then our favorite brilliant and magical former Reagan
    speechwriter went on TV and apparently assuming no one was listening
    besides fellow Bubble Resident Mike Murphy basically called Palin an
    unmitigated disaster on the part of bubbleheaded Republican operatives
    who “always fail” when they pull this sort of “bullshit.” You stay

    I stumbled into this odd conversation that seems only to be insults hurled back and forth.  I then clicked on the above website, (sharethisurlabout?) which was more of the same.  I recognized some of the surfers from Mediaite in the site.  Same thing, insults.

    Apparently, “OBSERVER” hates Glenn Beck?  MOMWITHKIDS and others like Beck and his shows.

    I like Beck, I don’t see the problem?  I’ve never heard or seen him disseminate deliberate lies.  In fact I’ve learned many things, such as, the participation of African American’s in the Revolutionary War.  Also, the insidious nature of Czars, in any administration.

    Furthermore, Beck’s exposure of Soros and the man’s insidious money making schemes coupled with left wing ideology, indeed makes me suspicious.

    I am adamant advocate of a separation of church and State, but, I do not fear prayer and religion in a non-political perspective.

    I don’t know OBSERVER, I just have not seen anything Beck has done that would make me as angry and vitriolic as you.  Maybe you try and clarify your position?

    I don’t think so. It is the TPARTY candidates that had to sign the Grover Norquist pledge of allegiance to a Party and that pledge is more powerful than the pledge to serve the US constitution. there is no mistake, the republicans have demonstrated clearly that party is more important than country and that corporate wealth is more important than the well being of 300 million people. So, the republican party spawned this TPARTY monster and I am sure there is a lot of buyer’s remorse about to surface. It all begins in WI.

    John McCain chose to read that article from the floor of the senate – he knew in doing so the allegories contained within, in keeping with prior statements of his, would become statements attributable to him and brought on criticisms knowingly; the blowback he received for it is entirely justified.

    I don’t think I am being unreasonable at all. When a group of people refuse to act responsibly and fulfill their obligations to all the people of the country , they are craven cowards. There is voter remorse surfacing across the country. Govt has an important role in a democracy. It is the bulwark against the “would be emperors”. The shame is that once the SCOTUS betrayed the people, by declaring corporations persons without responsiblities. I really resent that my brothers, my sons and my husband fought to keep american safe and democracy intact for all the people. It is clear, that those sacrifices are being discounted by ideologues who have loyalty to Party over country. Disgusting.

    We got rid of most of the blue dogs. They forgot that there first responsibility is to the people of the US, all 300 mn of them. The repugs on the other hand are champions of the 400 billionaires who are floating on an island of money and in a bubble unlimited by such obligations of loyalty, patriotism to a single country when they can land any where in the world and preserve their wealth. DEMOCRACY is hard work, and the repugs can’t stand it. They are incapable of governance and it is clearly evident in their current stance over raising the debt ceiling.

    There you go again, CarMan. You have your parties mixed up. I want to know how you know so much about the Tea Party. About the Oath of Office, notice how BOzo crossed his fingers when he repeated it…and flubbed it up at that! Yeah…you be in a heap a trouble there boss. The Demwits have cornered the market on buyer’s remorse! Wait until your unemployment isn’t renewed for another year.

    Of course it would. Apparently you haven’t read many of my posts. I rely on reason, philosophy and history. “Cogito, ergo sum.” The truth is like wisdom. Not always found where you would expect. Wisdom, in my experience, is not always within the province of success, rather, mistakes and failure can produce wisdom, (truth) if one is paying attention.

    Paleo, as I mentioned earlier, McCain is a National Hero and Treasure.  However, he needs to retire, as unfortunately he is loosing his luster to generations who do not know the degree of Patriotism he and his family, have given this Nation, and continue to do so.

    A man is more than the sum of his medals, so it’s not necessary to
    always predicate criticisms with all due respect and honors.  It’s nice to on occasion,
    but hardly a requirement.  He’s by now far more known historically as a politician than war hero, or victim of war.  Plus, I don’t think the newer generations saw much luster in him anyway, for all the negative reaction I read in their pre-election discussions.  Whether that was factual or more a product of savaging he who wasn’t Obama is unknown, but the they made their observations on the question of character known.

    So, too bad for him.  It’s the destiny of that generation, perhaps, to not receive the respect owed.  The presidents we had from the Vietnam era was a draft dodger and a legacy.  Better than the Korean generation, which didn’t even get a president.  But they didn’t want to talk about it, so… there.

    I don’t see McCain stepping down willingly, and he isn’t up for election for another 5 years.  I say he takes his lumps, like any other wrong-headed congressman speaking from where one normally sits.

    Pragmatic you are, overly sentimental, you are not. Point taken.

  • Anonymous

    I’m sentimental enough.  If the election were purely about character, McCain ought not to have spent a dime on his shoe-in election – in a just world.  Your approach, though, seems more a way to avoid having to criticize someone deserving of criticism.  That goes against my sense of personal responsibility.  I prefer to have no sacred cows that trumps a core philosophy.

    McCain took this moment to sabotage the unity of the Republican position in a critically important step of the negotiations, breaking bad along the way on the best hope for fiscal responsibility, a libertarian-conservative ascendency and/or the success of his party.  He did that, not his Vietnamese torturer.

    The Meverick was back for several hours. Of course, until he went on Fox with Hannity and walked it all back. This is what happens to reasonable conservatives. They’re reasonable one day until they go on Fox, or get called out by Porky Limbaugh as did Darrell Issa for having used the word compromise and immediatey walked it back. Limbaugh is the real leader of the republican party, while Fox is the republican campaign committee.

    Paleo,  I enjoy reading your Posts as they are “pragmatic” and you seek objectivity.  But, our recent exchange, I fear, you may have misinterpreted:  ”Point taken” did not mean I agree with you, rather that your thought was worth considering.

    Whether by intent or design you are very ‘cold’ in your observations, not a good or bad thing, just my impression.  I don’t know whether or not I like you, but, your Posts most often have validity. (You might respond, something to the effect: this is not a popularity contest?  ”Point taken.”)

    Furthermore, you failed to acknowledge my point that not only is Senator McCain a man, he is, also, a Grand Son, Son and Father of American Warriors, devoted to their Country.  Ergo, “a man is greater than the sum of his parts?”

    I take umbrage to your assertion that my “approach, though, seems more a way to avoid criticizing someone deserving of criticism.”  I don’t know how you could construe anything of the kind?  I simply admire old soldiers.  All I desire, hope and wish is that an honorable man, who has served his country his entire life, retire into the sunset, dignity intact.  Before the tumult of a political career consumes his legacy, entirely.

    Question:  If Senator McCain had been a Political success in your estimation, would you still be as dismissive of his earlier life?

    Back pedalling again Vicky? Doesn’t matter whether you capitalize the C or not. A commandment is a commandment and a rule is a rule. No matter…you don’t live by it anyway.

    As for the lies, slander and the obscenities you post to, and about, me: it’s all in YOUR head and on YOUR posts.

    You can’t prove any of your accusations against me, because you don’t know me. You don’t know my faith. You don’t know my politics. You don’t know IF I’m a Beck fan.

    Face it, Vicky, YOU DON’T KNOW ANYTHING. All you have is your opinions and we all know what they are worth. NOTHING.

    But I know who you are… and what you are… and where you live!

    You do, and say, anything to diminish and denigrate anyone who disagrees with you. It doesn’t work. What you do and what you say makes you look like a pathetic little man with a mental defect.

    I don’t believe I have been dismissive of McCain’s earlier life.  I
    don’t think it applies (more on that below).  I admire old soldiers.  If
    they walk by in a
    parade, I’ll salute ‘em.  I donate to Amvets regularly.  But when they
    step out of that niche, enter the world of politics and start telling
    the country in a ridiculing manner my governing philosophy is flawed,
    I’ll criticize them as hotly as needed to get the point across how wrong
    I feel they are.  I can well imagine having done this unknowingly about
    congresspersons not knowing their background.  They’ve assume
    a role in society wider than simply an abstract ideal to be admired.

    A veterans’ war record and/or willingness to serve their country is a
    badge of honor.  It should also be a positive consideration when they
    seek to become holders of high (or low)
    office or other positions of responsibility.  The dedication they
    exhibit and discipline they’re instilled with are a boon to most
    endeavors.  But once they do, any honor one holds for service doesn’t
    extend to granting immunity for other things they may do.  That badge
    should never
    become a shield to hide behind.  That’s disrespectful, I think, to those
    still serving and that which they served – among which is freedom to be
    judged not by inherent status but held to account for one’s individual
    actions.  If they don’t wish for that prior service to appear tarnished,
    they ought never do another thing that might bring criticism.  Politics
    isn’t that endeavor, regardless of how successful they are at it.

    You have your parties mixed up. I want to know how you know so much
    about the Tea Party. About the Oath of Office, notice how [President Obama] crossed
    his fingers when he repeated it…and flubbed it up at that!

    Crossed his fingers?  That’s a silly lie.

    But you’ll recall that it was Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts who flubbed the Presidential oath of office and President Obama had to help him out along the way.

    Roberts screwed up the oath so bad they had to do it all over again as a formality.

    LOL. Teabaggers is so stooooopit.

  • Anonymous

    Stupid is as Stooooopit does, MeaCulpa…your mistake!

    Watch the video. If BOzo doesn’t have a TelePrompTer, he stutters. Count the pauses… the “uh..uh…uhs”…. the “aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand” that he vocalizes when speaking without one. As for the oath, notice how Barry was talking over Justic Roberts. Justice Roberts was correcting the order of the word faithfully. Barry-the-Arrogant was talking over Justice Roberts.

    Prove BOzo didn’t cross his fingers! We all know he’s been caught tangled up in his lies.

    BOzo is a clown. As long as the lamestream media and his welfare subjects cover his ass, he’ll continue to crack the jokes and lead from behind.

    You know that there is a difference between teabaggers and Tea Partiers, right? That you, your like-minded buddies and Barry continue use the obscene reference is an indication of the disrespect and contempt you all have for your fellow Americans. Since many in polite society were unfamiliar with the teabagger term prior to Barry’s use, and it had never been used on the public airways prior, I question his character in making it such a common insult. Barry was caught on camera and since then it has been widely used in the lamestream media. Utterly reprehensible.

    When facts and wit fail you, namecalling becomes your weapon of choice?

    Utter nonsense. The DEMOCRACY is that all people are creted EQUAL and that govt exists by, for and of the people. The US of AMERICA is a REPUBLIC but it is UTMOST a democracy where the people directly elect their representatives. And those direct elections occur at the FEDERAL, STATE and LOCAL levels. the Republic absent democracy does not exist in the US of AMERICA. It’s govt is “of, by and FOR the people. The power comes from the people. That is also, why we have  a CONGRESS made up of two houses: Representatives are elected to the positions by the people of those states.
