Glenn Beck Redux
Glenn Beck, the Glenn Beck recently confessed to Fox News’ on The Kelly File that he "played a role, unfortunately, in helping tear the country apart.” It takes a great amount of chutzpah to admit basically you were a schmuck. He is his own worst critic about a time when healing was needed and not the antics of a pot luck former druggie ripping this country apart. Maybe he is admitting what he did before the entire world through the media sees him for what he was to lessen the rhetoric.
Here is what he said:
"I remember it as an awful lot of fun and that I made an awful lot of mistakes. I wish I could go back and be more uniting in my language because I think I played a role, unfortunately, in helping tear the country apart and it’s not who we are and I didn’t realize how really fragile the people were.
I thought we were kind of a little more in it together. Now I look back and I realize if we could have talked about the uniting principles a little bit more, instead of just the problems, I think I would look back on it a little more fondly. [The Blaze]”
Heavy, very heavy. But the problem is as in the past is Beck believable?
I’m stymied about this. His confession comes at a time when his popularity is waning, why this strategy of contrition? Unless he thinks it will slow down the damage, his banter has become so off the wall, it’s a joke.
He does nothing for nothing, everything is rehearsed, planned and executed. Or is he just part of the losers, the Tea potters who cost the GOP plenty looking to jump ship before the Titanic docks.
He’s not alone, the GOP has toned down some of it’s rhetoric but rest assured you can pour perfume on a skunk and it will still be a skunk a few days later.
There is an abundance of rightwing nutcases to pollute the media, is this just another color in his chameleon suit and now he is lost in a sea of we’ll make it all better before the Titanic docks….?
No, I’m not one who forgives that easily. He said many harmful things about a lot of people helping tear the country apart for years, and then today he is a changed man, reinventing himself as a builder of the country.
My instinct says Horse-poopies…horse·sh*t (hôrs
sh
t
, hôrsh-) which is is described as the excrement of a horse. Linguistically it also means meaningless or insincere talk or action; nonsense. Used to express disagreement or exasperation. All of the above, and if Beck really believes that his shenanigans was detrimental to society what is he going to do to rectify it.
We’ll see if this is the genuine article or mother suit in the chameleons closet.
