Rest Easy: Glenn Beck Doesn’t Think Nuclear War Is Imminent. But If It IS…

Glenn Beck took a little time to address something on many people’s minds: The end of the world! Brought upon, specifically, by nuclear war. Will it happen? Won’t it? Should we start stockpiling baby wipes and saltines right about now?

You might remember that, last night, MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell issued a response to what he perceived as Fox News’ insistence on “hyping” the situation with Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.

He attempted to use a quote from Beck’s radio show (Beck being, of course, a Fox News personality) to demonstrate his point. Our own Frances Martel describes the specific clip to which O’Donnell referred:

Beck states in the clip that the point of the book of Revelations is so that “we know what it looks like” when the world will end, though Beck also repeatedly states whether or not the world is ending is a question beyond his realm of expertise. But since Beck brought up the Bible, O’Donnell felt compelled to point something out about Revelations: it has no place in the current discussion of what to do about Japan. Revelations, he explains, is a “work of fiction” that describes the acts of a god whose moral disposition is “worse than Hitler.”

Beck shot back on his radio show, saying that he “didn’t know” when the word would end, but felt that O’Donnell was perhaps giving a tip of the hat to Lucifer. Furthermore, Beck, asks, why would he advise people to invest in gold if he thought the world was about to crumble under the threat of nuclear war? Who would need money?

Besides: It’s not like nuclear war wouldn’t have survivors. Hey, you can never be too prepared.

Have a listen:

I don’t think Beck is mad, but his lunacy appears imminent.

Sky, what did he say that was lunacy? You guys makes fools of yourselves because you can’t really refute anything he says. You think it’s just enough to call him crazy. And to be fair, in the past that’s worked. Unfortuantely, for you though, there are more ways to get info now, so we don’t have to rely solely on the liberal media for get our info.

It’s true, Beck doesn’t think the world will end..
He is simply trying to plant that seed in the feeble brain of his culties as he laughs all the way to the bank.

What is the point in refudiating complete nonsense. It speaks for itself. I know this concept is completely abstract to you.

Glenda LOVES to dance with that, “I’m not saying that……, BUT, IF………, then I WOULD say……”
He has mastered the Future Conditional Tense to keep his assets out of court.
His sheeple don’t hear the disclaimer, but it covers his butt.
And that, my friends, is an enormous job!

When is nonsensical about being prepared for a disaster. Did you even listen to him? He’s talking about being prepared in case of an emergency. The fact that that’s crazy to you libs, is what is lunacy.

LOL…That’s because all he does is make outrageous paranoid predictions like the communists taking over New Zealand on the heels of a Muslim caliphate or the End Times coming and then shrugs and says “I don’t know” while you idiots lap it up as fact.

As for his facts they have been refuted many times, like calling Van Jones an ex-felon and the petition against him as being from “all Reform Jews”.

More Beck lies…

He said that no other President had never been sworn into office without a Bible. He said he ‘checked’.
He either did not check or checked up his arsegraped butt because he’s lying. John Qunicy Adams used a law book. Franklin Pierce didn’t even swear. He affirmed. Teddy Roosevelt used no Bible.

Glenn Beck lied when he said recently that $1.4 million of stimulus momey was used to repair a door at Dyess AFB. The doors repaired were aircraft hangar doors and the cost was not $1.4 million.
The cost was $246000 out of $1.4 million in repairs funding.

Beck warned people not to go on the “cash for clunker’s” govt. site, because there is a privacy act you have to agree to before you get your cash wherein the govt. can access your computer and get any information on you they want. This was a lie. The privacy act that has to be agreed to is on the site for DEALERS participating in this program, not citizens trading in their clunkers.

Beck says Michelle Obama has 43 people on her staff; Nancy Reagan had just 3.
There were 15 people on First Lady Nancy Reagan’s staff. That includes four on the press team (including Tate); two in the projects office; two in the advance office; three in the social office; a personal secretary and her assistant; and the chief of staff and his assistant.

Look up more Beck lies on Politifact…

Liberals, who take their talking points from MediaMatters, never seem to acknowledge that Glenn Beck continuously and always encourages his viewers not to believe him but do their own research.

Is there a liberal hash-slinger who would dare to encourage his sheep to do so???

“refudiating”????

Borrowing (well, actually STEALING) a word from Sarah Palin, unless, of course it was just a simple fact of ignorance, is a perfect illustration of the FACT that liberals can’t say anything on their own.

Unless, of course, it is name-calling, their only forte.

Yeah, most good liars say “Hey, if you don’t believe me check it out for yourself”. This kind of a bluff adds substance to the lie and makes it more believable to rubes.

Fortunately, in case it does happen, Glenn also has a supply of last days seeds, the primary means of barter in the world to come.

Glenn is comfortable with the fact that his audience despises “intellectuals” and probably CAN’T read.

Scanning the thousands of hopped-up faces in the crowd, I am immediately struck by two things. One is that there isn’t a single black person here. The other is the truly awesome quantity of medical hardware: Seemingly every third person in the place is sucking oxygen from a tank or propping their giant atrophied glutes on motorized wheelchair-scooters. As Palin launches into her Ronald Reagan impression — “Government’s not the solution! Government’s the problem!” — the person sitting next to me leans over and explains.

“The scooters are because of Medicare,” he whispers helpfully. “They have these commercials down here: ‘You won’t even have to pay for your scooter! Medicare will pay!’ Practically everyone in Kentucky has one.”

So that’s why all those old people are so dangerous. They have oxygen tanks, and they might explode.

Running a commercial is business. That’ why it’s called commercial radio. People pay you to air their sales pitch, because they think your audience has the money to buy their product. End of Adv. 101.
Commenting on, endorsing, or proselytizing for the advertiser is to be a spokesman.

Paleoconservatarian

“… but felt that O’Donnell was perhaps giving a tip of the hat to Lucifer” Alex, might you care to point out that this is a reference to Saul Alinsky’s forward to his book “Rules for Radicals?” Or, without context, are you trying to make it appear as if Beck is calling O’Donnell a satanist?

How long, I wonder, are ‘serious’ critics going to run with a story that’s opposite to Beck’s point? The entire subject matter of this article, for example, is a throw away sentence in a larger argument with a dash of trivia. Not a claim that the world is ending. In fact, quite the opposite.

And Fukushima Daiichi has been hyped, BTW.

Deaths and missing owing to the 9.0 earthquake and succeding tsunami – 17,227 and climbing.
Deaths owing to the troubled Fukushima Daiichi plant – 0
