Beck: God put Romney behind in polls to prove it’s a miracle when he wins

Conservative talk show host Glenn Beck says that GOP hopeful Mitt Romney’s poll numbers have fallen as a part of a plan from God to make it obvious to the American people that divine intervention was responsible when Republicans take the White House in November.

“I know Mitt Romney wasn’t your first choice, nor was he mine,” Beck recently told controversial “historian” David Barton in a video clip highlighted by Right Wing Watch on Monday. “I am to the point that — A — God is trying to make this so clear to us that if it happens, it’s his finger. Because nothing looks good.”

“And yet, everybody I know who I consider a spiritual giant feels good,” he continued. “And it bothers me that I feel good because, I’m like, there’s no reason that I should feel good on this.”


The former Fox News host went on to explain that Romney’s hidden private life proved that he was “kind of on the line” with President George Washington.

To prove that repig voters are brainless saps who fall for any grifter who screams loud enough.

Come to think of it, that's the only reason the entire slate of reich-wing pundits and con men/women exist.

it's an act of god. A miracle. No questions asked. And if you doubt the results, it just means you are rejecting god and not a true believer. (Lower case g intentional since the real one, if it exists, would have not part of this crap.)

Romney losing was God's hand at work to test the faithful, no doubt, because any day now Christ is a'comin and he is pissed! And the sad thing is, most of his drooling, driveling, ignorant followers will believe him.

Look, to my brother, a minister in a very right wing church, this comment is totally logical and acceptable. For the religious, God tests them constantly to make sure they remain faithful and rewards them with miracles.

Clearly, Beck knows his audience, even if he is a complete kook.

And when Obama wins, Beck can simply say that God is punishing a faithless nation for disobedience, like he punished Israel, and his flock will continue drinking his koolaid.

Yes, Beck knows his audience.
