As the hurricane barreled towards the East Coast, Beck said that it would be a valuable lesson for people who have not heeded his warnings. He said he has long told his followers to stock up in case of "global disruption in food." He said that, even though people had mocked him for it, disaster preparedness was key to him.
"If you've waited [until now], this hurricane is a blessing," he said. "It is god reminding you, as was the earthquake last week...you're not in control."
My comment: Mr. Beck, obviously, neither are you, but I'm sorry very few want to buy your disaster preparedness products. God has nothing to do with that.
By the way, it's the Goddess (shudder!) Gaia, and she's getting pretty STEAMED right now because of your and your wacko friends' denial of Global Warming and Climate Change caused by stupid, greedy corpo-humans (like you!).

That would be easy for Beck since he's made a career of such rationalizations and can jump to conclusions in a heartbeat.
In psychology and logic, rationalization (or making excuses) is a defense mechanism in which perceived controversial behaviors or feelings are explained in a rational or logical manner to avoid the true explanation. It often involves ad hoc hypothesizing. This process ranges from fully conscious (e.g. to present an external defense against ridicule from others) to mostly subconscious (e.g. to create a block against internal feelings of guilt).

Stewart gave an outstanding parody of the extremes that Glenn would go to in order to justify his rationalizations by going through the example of why he was leaving his show at Fox.

It just goes to show that there are no lengths Beck would not go to defend his arguments

Or no depths he wouldn't sink to in order to make excuses and hide his failings

What sort of sacrifice can I make to Gaia to get her to maybe take Beck's plane down? She doesn't have to kill him (unless she really wants to, I would not argue with a Goddess), but could she send him a life altering message about what an ass clown he is and that he should change his ways.

Poor Beck, he is so desperate to stay in the spotlight that he has got to say crazy shit just to be noticed. He is a sad, pathetic man.
Someone should probably tell him that no one gives a shit about him.

Is it more like when Colbert advised Beck to "crank up the crazy and rip off the knob" since how much more prepared are people than when Glenn had his "War Room" going?
I'd say it was a "blessing" for Beck to focus on his ratings to try and grab more attention. Glenn has a gift for rationalization and projecting his fears onto everything else.
Self-fulfilling prophecy cuts both ways, but unfortunately the negative sticks like velcro and the positive slides like teflon

Glad you made it in time. But the GOP and the Corporations must've stocked up on those rubber pants since they certainly had the shit scared out of them by Colbert's last scenario in the Doom Bunker. As Stephen said that it was the "scariest one yet"
"Obama's policies worked, the government can actually solve some problems and people's faith in the government was restored"They did everything possible to make sure that it didn't come true because they can't afford the outcome of "Obama was right" so they would rather choose the other scenarios where the country is ruined.

The chorus was good but they were used for other things that diluted their effect. The puppets were better especially in combination with the chalkboards.
Stewart certainly does a perfect Beck parody, but what does that say about who's pulling Glenn's strings to bestow the "blessings" upon him?

Can`t believe these wingnuts! Beck calls a hurricane a blessing? Eric Cantor blames earthquake victims in his home district for needing federal money since they didn`t buy EARTHQUAKE INSURANCE? Rick Perry says that we should just pray to God to help these poor people and clean up the mess? and last and certainly craziest Michelle Bachmann says that programs that aid the poor,elderly and disabled are TOO POPULAR! and must be ABOLISHED! This is the Replutocrat/Tea Poisoner mantra and just imagine what will happen when they steal power. Everybody ready to be hip deep in sack cloth and ashes?

Thanks for using a phrase I use also (didn't think anybody saw these people the way I did): Tea Poisoner. I use that phrase, as I'm sure you do too, because I believe this old Republican/Dixiecrat racist, religious fundamentalist crowd with a new name and new "claims" is truly poisoning our country. They are poisoning our political discourse, our ability to compromise effectively for all the people, our religious freedoms, and our hard-won Civil Rights. Also, thanks for posting.

I see them that way cause I live in so-called Dixie and know the type first hand. Billious,boiled in the shell Bigots,xenophobes,homophobes and Bible beaters. Each with their own sheet and hood at the One Hour Martinizing place,and a fiery cross at the ready.Each going to church on Sunday to revel in Jesus and then spending the rest of the week breaking every commandment and then some. All the while with a smile on their face and a hymn in their heart! The worst of humanity and if they steal power,LOOK OUT!,especially if you are poor,old,or a non Christian!

He's happy whenever a disaster strikes because he believes it will prompt more people to buy the gold and "food insurance" he peddles. He cares not about the people hurt by those disasters.Evil, evil little man.
