Glenn Beck On Jersey Shore “Why Would This Crap Attract 9 Million People?”

video
» 78 comments

Yesterday, Glenn Beck gave his State of the Union. Today, he talked about the state of our union. There was a difference there, I promise. To sum it up; he’s very worried, hates Jersey Shore, likes some of YouTube but hates other parts of it, and doesn’t think we should see people as enemies. Unless they deserve it.

The enemy part was quite interesting. Beck explained that we are in danger of no longer being the great melting pot that we once were (demonstrated with a Schoolhouse Rock clip which was nice but not as fun as the fishstick cookie tray) because now we have so many people trying to turn us against each other and make us enemies. He launched into a monologue next that basically sounded like a Glenn Beck version of “Everybody’s Free (to Wear Sunscreen)”:

“I have news for you. There will always be rich and there will always be poor. There will always be black and white and brown. There will always be Wall Street but there will also be Main Street. Greedy bankers and good bankers. Oil companies and solar powered companies. Fast food restaurants that just wanna make you fat and salad bars just that drive you out of your mind. Someone will always also have something that you don’t have. Yes, Donald Trump has some things that George Soros doesn’t and vice versa. But they’re not necessarily enemies over what they have and don’t have.”

And, do you hear that noise? That’s a thousand websites and TV shows looking to find every instance that Glenn Beck has called or said someone was his enemy. I going to take a guess that there were at least a couple.

But fear not, Beck fans! Beck has an out! You see, people aren’t enemies because of who they are, what they have, or what they believe. No, they’re enemies because of what their “agendas” are. Huge difference. Of course, your mileage on this explanation will probably vary quite a bit.

Now, the headline of this post promised Jersey Shore bashing and don’t think I’ve forgotten it. After all, dissing that show will probably be the only thing Glenn Beck says all year that I can agree with without any reservation. Yes, Beck got into the MTV and then entire time I kept regretting Steve and Glynnis were gone because a Beck vs. Jersey Shore argument probably would have caused a fist fight.

Beck then got into the subject of how people allow themselves to be swayed and allow themselves to be filled with “poison.” Some of them don’t even know they’re watching poison when they watch stuff like this. Stuff like…Jersey Shore. And what does it do to them? Well, it causes them to post videos on YouTube showing people fighting each other viciously. Beck then showed a few of said videos and talked about how the people have been warped by the need for instant fame.

“When you have the desire for fame and notoreity, and you combine it with a complete lack of priorities and values and principles, you’ve got a mess on your hands.”

But, Beck explained, we don’t want to ban YouTube or Jersey Shore. The problem isn’t the “tube” after all, it’s the “you.” Beck said he couldn’t even understand the people in the videos fighting and he didn’t want to. He didn’t want people to tell him he had to.

We can only assume that they all had terrible agendas.

    “Why Would This Crap Attract 9 Million People?”

    The same reason people are attracted to you, Glennie.

    There’s a lot of stupid people in this country.

    And yet , it’s Dave Noland’s favorite show . To discuss it :

    But he only actually showed black people fighting. He’s totallyyy not feeding red meat to his viewers though.

    They are way to smart to watch you Glenn.

    Speaking as a Jersey native, I would like to personally thank Glenn for this generous contribution to the “Fuck Jersey Shore” movement. If you would like to make your own contribution, send a check to “The Initiative to Tie Snooki and the SItuation to a Rocket and Launch Them Into Outer Space.” Please, won’t you help us?

  • Nacho

    The Glenn Beck Show is crap.

  • The_Reasonable_Lib

    This is honestly too easy. I have trouble even believing Beck set himself up like this.

  • The Real Royal King

    I don’t understand the intensity of Gle(n)n’s dislike for “Jersey Shore”. Are the actors Jewish?

  • The_Reasonable_Lib

    By the way Glenn, Jersey Shore is fucking hilarious!!!! And does anybody else notice Glenn has a propensity for showing blacks fighting? Subliminal maybe? People just standing there? I saw a man come in and drag a woman out.

  • http://www.zazzle.com/talkingpoints NORBIT Jr.

    Glenn should have lamented the sad state of affairs in the country when uber-liberal Jewish groups, like “Jewish Funds for Justice” (a group having had run-ins with Beck before), seek to exploit the tragedy of the Holocaust for their own political ends.

    This is how liberals attempt to stifle dissent, by making gratuitous allegations of “racism” and Anti-semitism”!

    - btw, with it’s ardent support of Soros, has anyone investigated the relationship between his groups and the funds that this “Jewish Funds for Justice” gets?

  • beavoux

  • beamangrow

    this is so funny,the same reason people watch fox glen,you just cant cure stupid.

  • wube

    This crap attracts millions for the same reason that your fox crap attracts millions: emotional agitation of soft-minded audience. Hard-minded audiences resort to serious stuff in other channels.

  • skyfet

    Glenn is Jealous, that they have more ratings than he can ever get. I bet that’s why he is trying to dumb down politics, the more he dumbs it down, the more he can be like the reality tv personalities, but its not working out for him.

    Glenn you can act dumb, play stupid, or perhaps you are just mad. That’s all you’d ever would be, just mad. Those who have faith in you, just need to check themselves. Murdoch and Ailes do not love you, they are laughing all the way to the bank while they gain more attention to their Network.
    If any of you Glenn’s devotee do not like this, what can I say?
    I don’t give damn.

    Has anyone investigated the relationship between you and Beck? I’m only asking a darn good question.

  • Carol West

    No one has ever been able to explain to me how Fox gets all of their viewers. I never knew there were this many stupid people in the country. I think that fact is rather frightening. Of course, I didn’t know there were so many mean people until I checked out this website. I am especially surprised by the meanness of the women here.

  • treecutter

    After watching that guy Rachel Maddow I like to go out and club baby seals.

  • shortstopk

    To sum it up; he’s very worried,

    That’s his whole schtick. And to make everyone else worried.

  • Color Me Badd

    Let’s see, would I rather watch The Situation and Snookie’s assorted hijinks or would I rather watch a raving, racist halfwit tell his audience that “you are gonna have to shoot progressives in the head”.

    I think I will go with Jersey Shore.

    “When you have the desire for fame and notoriety, and you combine it with a complete lack of priorities and values and principles, you’ve got a mess on your hands.” Yes…that, or a thing called Glenn Beck.

    And whenever we hear any of the deranged babbling emanating from the the special swamp of delusion, paranoia, profound ignorance and drug-induced brain damage Glenn calls home, we wonder, “Why Would This Crap Attract [Fewer Than 2] Million People?”

  • Sean68

    I doubt the audiences have much in common at all. Wouldn’t you imagine that Jersey Shore’s audience to be relatively young, and Beck’s to be relatively old? They both be dumb, but they’re not the same people. Further, I would bet that the majority of Jersey Shore’s audience voted for Obama.

    Beck discribed his own show and viewers.

    When did Glen Beck turn into Andy Rooney: “When I was young they didn’t have shows like the Jersey Shore. The only situation that happened to my girlfriend was after we had too much snooki. I sometimes wonder why they don’t call oranges snookies. Snookies is much easier to pronounce. The only Sammi I knew was a member of the Rat Pack. I need to remember to get some PaulyD at the store for my dentures. Get off of my lawn, Jersey Shore.”

  • ganymede

    Most of us watch much too much TV and after a while we get dumbed down. As has been said, TV is a veritable wasteland. Stuff like Jersey Shore has no more pretension than to be just harmless junk with a few laughs and lots of commercials. Watching Beck is another trip entirely. I can only watch one commercial’s worth before I feel sick and slightly deranged. Underneath a thin veneer of civility Beck is a very disturbed showman and I’m convinced watching his schtick is very unhealthy. He lies, dissembles and contorts reality – there is nothing truly positive or healing about his demeanor and yet he has a large audience who are mesmerized by his every word. The other day I caught the clip where he had a rabbit and a chainsaw and I couldn’t for the love of me follow what was going on. And you wonder why people are so few up with him. Fortunt\ately, his audience has peaked and eventually he will fade away.

    Hey Beck, try getting a little crazier and maybe you will be able catch up to Jersey Shore. Try pouring gasoline on someone. Oh thats right, you already did that. How about talking about how the Koch brothers I mean Soros is taking over this country or saying Nazi on every show.

  • Kat

    Glenn you missed your calling. But maybe it’s not too late. Lose the politics schtick and stick with straight ministry. Oh, probably no money in that though. I see now why you want to throw a lil of both in the mix. And then you have the radio to be your real self. Not a bad gig you got going.

  • Michael_T

    Glenn Beck says, ““Why Would This Crap Attract 9 Million People?”

    So what if you replaced “9″ with “2″ and inserted “Fox News” before the word “Crap”.

    Gee, which program could possibly fit?

    Don’t tell me … let me think … OK, I think I got it.

    Can you solve the puzzle?

    At least, the meatheads on Jersey Shore can walk it like they talk it. Beck would rather his intellectually lazy goon squad do all his fighting (and shooting) for him like the Pavlovian dogs he’s trained them to be.

  • Paladin

    Beck re: Jersey Shore, ” Why would this crap attract 9 million people?” My quesion to Beck.” Why would your crap attract 3 million people?” Because it’s the same type of crap that attracts the Jerry Springer audience. They are both the lowest form of ‘entertainment’ and attract this type of person.

    Actually young people don’t tend to vote much at all so the MAJORITY of Jersey Shore audience doesn’t vote at all. And even Snooki doesn’t like OBAMA because he taxes tanning salons.

    Beck’s just mad that the meatheads on Jersey Shore found out a way to make money off their youthful drunken antics. Beck’s youthful drunken antics led him to drop out of college and wake up every morning in a puddle of his own vomit.

  • valkyrie101

    Hard for Glenn to argue that any TV causes violence unless he would also like to argue that the psycho Glenn Beck fans who go after policeman or liberal organizations are the result of his own rhetoric. Of course they are not.

  • JOEYB

    The only reason people would dis-like Glenn Beck is because they were told he’s no good, not to listen or watch his show and like good little boys and girls they listened to who ever told them this instead of questioning with boldness and finding out for themselves. Glenn beck talks about chainsaws and bunny’s to get a rise out of bloggers like the most of you who are commemting on what someone’s oppinion of that show was, rather than watching it for yourself. I know this because i started watching the GB program after hearing my Father talk about his dislike for the man. My friends an co workers talk alot of trash about him. At 32 yrs of age i never followed politics i watch sports and some History channel and as a Father alot of kid programs. (sprout) (Nick) (pbs) Etc.After hearing all this negative crap about GB i had to check his show out and found it to be a breath of fresh air! He stands for everything i wish i could be. i can relate to him. His love of God family and Country is one of a kind. Since watching his show for about a year now i went to Dad and asked him why he doesnt like GB. My Dad is a union steel worker and said he heard GB hates unions and that he heard GB is just a lier. I responed to my Dad that the principals GB speaks of, from whats right and whats wrong is everything he/my Dad taught me to be true which is perhaps why i can relate to GB as much as i do. He’s now a fan. Friends of mine who are as liberal as they come, or at least thought they were (i am from NY), are also now GB fans. I kindly ask anyone who reads this to just watch his show for 1 week Mon—>Fri. Sure some episodes are better than others like all tv shows but im willing to bet after just 1 week you’ll see for yourself what is true and what his false. Now im no English/Grammer major so im sure i typed pleanty of errors. Rather than commenting on how bad i typed, comment in a week or so, those who watch for just one week as i ask to give me their input at that time. Thanx to all who read this and i wish you all the best.

    No, Joey; that’s not the “only reason why people dislike Glenn Beck. Let’s start with Beck’s “questioning with boldness” quote, Joey. Beck took that line from a letter by Jeffeson to his nephew. Jefferson’s original wording was: “Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blindfolded fear.” Beck changed that quotation and its meaning starting in his 2005 book and ever since to, “Question the very existence of God, for if there be a God, He must surely rather honest questioning over blindfolded fear.” Joey, Beck misquoted Jefferson to have a meaning that Jefferson did not imply. Beck deceives, and he gets away with his deceptions with people who “never followed politics.” He preys on people who don’t really understand divine provenance. He preys on uninformed people who don’t know that a level playing field does not mean equal results. (A quotation of Obama’s that <a href="http://www.sharethisurlaboutglennbeck.com/2010/07/beck-completely-misinterprets-president.html".) Joey, that’s just one example of Beck’s malicious deceptions. I had to do research to figure that one out.

    Beck once claimed that Obama’s campaign promise was “no war.” I didn’t have to research that to know the claim was bogus, Joey, because I’m not new to politics. I listened to Obama’s campaign speeches and the debates. Since you’re new to politics, Joey, he can tell you whatever and you’ll accept it. He’ll tell you — as he often does — that he tells the truth; but that is not just a lie, it’s one of his most flagrant examples of hypocrisy. Beck lies about the truth!

    Joey, I invite you and your “liberal” friends to read The Glenn Beck Review from top to bottom. Take the challenge I’ve issued. Show where I have any of my counter-facts wrong. If you think Beck is honest, then prove where I have my assertions of Beck’s false claims wrong. Invite your friends, Joey. Invite, especially, your dad Joey.

    I didn’t write about Beck’s bunny and chainsaw gimmick, Joey, because I understand what a rodeo clown is supposed to do. I’m not distracted by his antics. I also don’t care about your grammar and spelling Joey; I care about your ignorance. Beck preys on you. Beck preys on anyone who isn’t particularly well informed. Beck preys on whites who have resentments about a black president. Beck preys on hateful who need their ugliness pointed at someone. Beck preys on the bigots who don’t grasp his anti-Semitism. Beck preys on the gullible who can’t see through the smoke screen of “anti-racism” and pro-Israel stance to see his bigotry Joey. 400 rabbis see it though Joey, and if you were Jewish, you’d see it too…maybe. Beck preys on and uses his minions who see through his smoke screen of non-violence and hear his call to shoot, not “progressives” as someone keeps claiming on here, but “radicals” in Washington in the head.

    Joey, you want to support far right, anti-big government ideals, then give up your Social Security and support, by all means, Rep. Ron Paul. My dissent against Mr. Beck is not (yet) political because you can’t debate policy with someone who demonizes their opponents as Beck has –LITERALLY– the President. You cannot debate policy with someone who wants to have his followers put a bullet in your head Joey.

    It is YOU who needs to do some homework to see what his true and what is false. Go to the Beck section of News Hounds Joey. Want to see a much longer list of Beck’s false claims than the long list I have documented? Go to the Glenn Beck section of Media Matters for America. They have hundreds of his claims proven counter factual. If that is what you call “fresh air, Joey, it is precisely because you’re new to politics. You want entertainment presented by a buffoon who dropped out of college after on course, watch Glenn Beck. You want to hear serious discussion of the issues without being routinely lied to, then watch any news channel. Fox is not news. Beck’s continued employment there proves that Murdoch is only interested in pushing this country further and further to the right so that — as Maddow recently pointed out — yesteryear’s conservative Republicans like Nixon and Eisenhower become Beck’s “progressives” undermining God and country.

    Joey: Glenn Beck preys on you and your ilk.

    I’m so glad that I wasn’t drinking coffee when Beck said, “When you have the desire for fame and notoreity, and you combine it with a complete lack of priorities and values and principles, you’ve got a mess on your hands.”

    To be fair, Beck does not have a complete lack of priorities. Beck’s biographer, Zaitchik, said it best: “If Beck has a true religion, it’s not Patriotism. It’s not Mormonism. It’s cross-platform self-marketing.” Now there is a priority that Beck can bank on!

  • Darr247

    Are you certain Mr.Beck was looking at snooki & co. and not in the mirror at the time?

    He should stick to emulating his mentor – Vince McMahon – and continue his self-promotion while keeping his opinions to politics and religion instead of about other entertainment fare.

  • timcajun

    Jersey Shores may be the worst show ever produced, however to have scum like Beck, with all his uninformated sheep, call another show out is funny! Jersey Shores sin is the players are not too bright, let anger get the best of them and say nothing of value, Beck uses old tactics to scare the not too bright, to cause anger and the fake christian offers nothing of value!

    “Are you certain Mr.Beck was looking at snooki & co. and not in the mirror at the time?”

    EXACTLY! I ask Mediaite’s Bershad the obvious question again: Jon, where are you going to call it like it is? What does watching Glenn Beck do to HIS followers? Misinformed minions issuing death threats to Francis Fox Piven and going on killing rampages are people who have had their minds seriously messed up. This is not fiction Jon. This is happening, and day after day you let Beck get away with this kind of sheer hypocrisy without ever calling him out on it. You think that Snookie’s followers will go out on a shooting rampage to “start a revolution” Jon? You think that they are going to issue death threats against people who call her shallow and vapid?

    “Beck then got into the subject of how people allow themselves to be swayed and allow themselves to be filled with ‘poison.’ ” Poison, like Glenn Beck having millions of people believe that Obama is associated with Lucifer! Mr. Bershad: you’re less of a reporter than you are an enabler. You wrote, “But, Beck explained, we don’t want to ban YouTube or Jersey Shore. The problem isn’t the “tube” after all, it’s the ‘you.’ ” No, Jon, it’s Glenn Beck, and it’s long overdue that you called him on it. Otherwise, Jon, the problem is YOU too!

    Beck finally addresses an issue with which he is an expert– “It’s time to stop poisoning people’s minds.”
    Did he get that idea while looking in the mirror?

    It’s AMAZING how Glenn Beck lives in some peoples’ heads 24/7/365.

    No Dan, it does not. I was simply trying to be nice to you by telling you that I enjoyed your humor.

    Honestly, those of you who are obsessed with hating Glenn Beck should start your own website. You could sit around and relish in your anger and you wouldn’t have to worry about some censor coming along to wag their finger at you and say “NO-NO!”

    Some of us don’t actually “hate” Beck. It’s just his message of hate and fear and gloom and doom that we find delusional. We understand he’s just making money and his message is meaningless to the sane. Some people actually believe his message. Poor lost souls.

    Okay thanks

    I hope you understood that I was making a joke and not insulting the Tea Party.

    I was using Tea Bagger in it’s proper filthy context, not as a political pejorative.

    Hi!

    The only people who do not readily grasp that Glenn Beck is a bald faced liar are his loyal fans who are too ignorant to comprehend when Beck lies and don’t want face up to the truth. Glenn Beck lies about Van Jones, about Obama, about telling the truth even! The latter makes Glenn Beck a hypocrite, not just that one time though, but over and over again, Beck demonstrates that he’s an amoral, blatant hypocrite!

    Beck took one college course on the history of religion and dropped out. He has spent his entire life working hard and preparing to be a huge radio star, not studying political theory or political science. Beck is not much more than an amazing performance artist and an extremely convincing demagogue with ideas that Republican, President Eisenhower considered “stupid” in his days as President. Glenn Beck demonstrates repeatedly that he has virtually no understanding of political language or ideas. Beck is a yellow propagandist who comes across as sincerely interested in the country but his motivations, according to Beck’s biographer, Alex Zaitchik, “are, and have always been, money and fame. If Beck has a true religion, it’s not Patriotism. It’s not Mormonism. It’s cross-platform self-marketing.”

    HI DADDY! I knew I’d find you. Everybody, this is my daddy. He’s smart you know. He knows everything about that evil Glen Beck. My daddys thinks about Glen Beck all the time.

    Uh, how does somebody lie about telling the truth?

    The Liar and Scumbag, BOMBSHELL says:
    “He knows everything about that evil Glen Beck…Uh, how does somebody lie about telling the truth?”

    Beck is not evil. Beck has inspired evil attacks on progressives and cops, but he is not quite out of the mainstream enough to be evil.
    Beck lied about the “ugly truth” of his viewer decline last summer. When someone, anyone, claims to have and present the truth and then turns around and lies about the facts of the matter, that’s lying about telling the “truth.” That’s also hypocrisy. In that webcast, Beck also fails elementary level math suggesting that he’s not very bright as well. He also lied during his 8-28 speech after first stating: “Our sacred honor. It means that you tell the truth. The whole truth and nothing but the truth.” That means that Beck has no honor. Reinforcing that analysis, he does exhibit hypocrisy routinely.

    BOMBSHELL, I have a son; and he’s a decent, Christian man who would never honor a cold blooded murderer by using his visage as an gravitar. You, whomever you are, are a liar for claiming to be my son and a model for those who can be accurately described as the scum of the Earth. I will not deign to address your deceitful and idiotic comments again.

    My daddy knows the facts. You’d better listen to him. He’s a great and compassionate man, he cries a lot because you people won’t believe him. The drugs don’t help him much anymore but he’s still focused.

    BOMBSHELL, YOU ARE ONE SICK DUDE TO CELEBRATE AN ASSASSIN.

    It’s so weird: when my wife listens to Beck, she gets “an overwhelming feeling of evil” too. I asked her why, and she said that she could tell that he is a liar by HOW he speaks.

    I’m more empirical and philosophically trained. Beck lies and we prove this day after day. I have a long list of posts detailing Beck’s false claims, and I don’t post nearly all the ones I know about. I have a large unused file detailing many of Beck’s lies.

    Beck is on the wrong side of history again, but — not surprising — he was on the side of democracy in the Middle East in support of Bush’s war of choice against Iraq. He hasn’t changed his mind: Glenn Beck is a hypocrite through and through. I prove this with facts and logic over and over again. And this begs the question: why does Beck has such a large following?

    Yes, he’s persuasive and cunning and gifted. He’s also highly skilled at manipulating his viewers; Beck is a master manipulator. Why else would more of his followers not hear the lies I could detect before starting The Glenn Beck Review. He programs his viewers to dismiss any and all criticism of him, no matter how factual and unbiased, no matter how honest. This has led me to a recent re-evaluation of his intellect as of late. He’s still ignorant about the world, but he’s very bright, clever, gifted, persuasive and intelligent. It’s taken a while to see that, but the link about his manipulation skills forced me into rethinking just how smart he is.

    It’s still all about Glenn Beck. His motivations, according to Beck’s biographer, Alex Zaitchik, “are, and have always been, money and fame. If Beck has a true religion, it’s not Patriotism. It’s not Mormonism. It’s cross-platform self-marketing.” Those who do not grasp this about him, can not hear his lies or hypocrisies, do not recognize that this uneducated, ignorant man is a charlatan and yellow propagandist, are victims more than they are supporters. They are to be pitied, not respected.
