Let's give Glen Beck a nickname. I propose Dorothy.

[Skip Intro]

Like from the Wizard of Oz.

Sobbing and fearful and just wanting to go home?

Although, now that I think about it, maybe the tin man would be better?

I dunno.

So, open floor - let's give Glen Beck a nickname, a la "tweety" or "pickles."

[NYCGirl]

1. Dorothy was my mother's name. Isn't Glen Beck slur enough? NT

[Richard Steele]

61. Yes. At this point, he's made a name for himself. Let him soak in it.

"Glen Beck" will be the nickname we use to mock
pathetically phoney scenery-chewing asshats for centuries to come.

"Glen Beck" will be an INSULT for generations.
People will be using the term long after anyone
remembers that it referred to an actual person,
just like "Bob's yer uncle" over in the ISLES.

THAT is his legacy, and a well-deserved legacy it will be.
His name will eventually become a noun, second only to "Quisling"
in the vast pantheon of shitsucking weasels whose names became nouns.

THAT is the path he has chosen. Let us respect that path,
and make it so.

[SmileyRose]

2. he's not worth the bother IMHO

[MadBadger]

3. Kooky

[Taverner]

4. How about TOTALLY FUCKING INSANE NUTJOB???

I mean, it fits

[Badlands Democrat]

6. Hey, that was mine!

So naturally, I second this one.

[Skip Intro]

8. It does fit, no argument there.

[Taverner]

11. Honestly - I do think he's very dangerous

Unlike O'Reilly, he's talking about a coup

O'Reilly just wanted to be loved by his father

[Badlands Democrat]

15. He's a dangerous man.

O'Reilly likes to hear himself. Hannity and Limbaugh are more severe blowhards. But this guy Beck is calling for armed revolution. At what point is that treason? Armed revolution against our 2 1/2 month-long President?

[Taverner]

85. There was a guy named Pinochet who was doing the same thing in 72

That's what I fear will happen

[Skip Intro]

19. Blows my mind that people buy the whole "tears for my country" routine.

I can't believe it can be sustained.

I haven't really watched any of his show, other than a clip here and there.

[Badlands Democrat]

22. I saw clips on sane shows.

That was disturbing stuff. "I hate to see my country being governed by a likeable black man, who received 53% of the vote! So it's time to get armed!"

[Tangerine LaBamba]

5. "That asshole" works for me

That's about as far as I go with that asshole.

[santamargarita]

20. Right-Wing Asshole or

Right-Wing:puke:

[Tangerine LaBamba]

Assholes have ideologies?

[Kitty Herder]

68. I like that one. nt

[Kalyke]

Batshit insane.

[Bolo Boffin]

[MadMaddie]

27. Scardy Cat Crybaby!!

[Lint Head]

28. He claims to have attempted suicide at one time. I remember

him saying this when he first started on radio.
:dem:

[valerief]

29. NO!!!! I think WAH! is a suitable nickname.

Whiny AssHole.

[Dinger]

30. How About This?

dickheadbraindeadsickfuckerloseruglypusgutwannabebutnevergonnabeapowerbrokerpervertdicklessfriendlesstastelessclasslesshopelessclueless, Oh well, you get the idea.

[bulloney]

66. You forgot to add "on a sesame seed bun" at the end.

[tridim]

31. I always call him "The bad Beck"

as opposed to the good Beck



I guess we could call him the Wicked Beck of the Faux.

[Gus2525]

32. How about Glen Pecker- has a nice ring to it.

[Politicalboi]

33. Baby Beck

[UTUSN]

34. K&R #1 just for the ZANNINESS of the o.p.'s concept!1 n/t

[burning rain]

35. Beckerhead? Beckerwood? Creepola?

*

[tomreedtoon]

36. Think about it. Which evangelist weeped uncontrollably?

I haven't watched much Beck, but he seems to be like a certain evangelist who always weeped and sobbed and said sentimental stuff to get big checks from the aged and the confused.

I say we call him Tammy Faye Beck.

[polly7]

42. I've always just thought of him as bigot Beck but Tammy Faye Beck is priceless! n/t

[enuegii]

91. Jimmy Swaggart?

[parasim]

37. Glenn Blecch

You know, that classic word from Mad Magazine?

or maybe Glecch, for short...

[rurallib]

38. "mr. magic underwear is too tight"

Mrs. Lib & I have been calling him that for years.

[MazeRat7]

39. I vote for calling him "Henny Penny"... n/t

[Initech]

40. Um.... maybe "Fucking Douchebag"?

[gauguin57]

62. I vote for Fucking Douchebag!

Perfect nickname.

[Arugula Latte]

88. Or maybe just Douchebeck ...?

[MiniMe]

41. I propose "crybaby"

Somehow it fits. Perhaps "Crazy crybaby"

[Juche]

43. King dumbass

ftr, this is funny and all but the radical right wingers are openly calling for a violent coup. There was an editorial in a local paper last week (I live in Mike Pence's district) of someone calling for the military and the public to violently overthrow the government.

[TwilightZone]

44. Chicken Little?

He certainly seems to think the sky is falling, along with everything else.

[Historic NY]

45. "Mush"......because thats all he has upstairs.

[lonestarnot]

46. Fucking Fathead works for me.

[dweller]

47. well, Dickhead has always worked for me

but Fuckding Fathead has a certain alliteration to it...

okay, i'll adapt. ;)
dp


edit nothing, fuckding works too. Fuckding Fathead just rolls off the tongue.

[lonestarnot]

48. Fuckding Fathead.

Works too! :evilgrin:

[Union Yes]

49. AntiAmerican Terrorist would fit him to a tee.

[spanone]

52. Dick Head

[BlooInBloo]

53. Whiny Ass Titty Baby.

[backscatter712]

54. Train Wreck Beck!

I think that's why he's getting so many eyeballs - nobody can resist watching a huge train wreck...

[classysassy]

55. Rush jr.

[SoCalDem]

56. Weepy McDribble..

not to be confused with Rep. Coppertone (who also cries a bit himself)..or Crybaby-Issa

[Old School Liberal]

57. More accurate than you think

It's funny, I remember a recent BBC article which describes how the Wizard of Oz was an economic allegory, in which the yellow brick road was the gold standard (Beckish, to say the least) and the tin man represented the industrial worker--so certainly not.

[Norquist Nemesis]

59. Who were the Lion, Scarecrow, and Munchkins?

I've seen those too. It's hard to tell sometimes whether a movie if just a movie or a commentary.

Beck is the Snake Oil medicine guy...not quite the Wizard but certainly a wannabe charlatan.

[Old School Liberal]

96. The Scarecrow represented the farmer

And the cowardly lion, William Jennings Bryan--not so sure about the munchkins: populists?

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

58. Biff

because he looks like a doughy, middle-aged version of that guy from Back to the Future

[beac]

60. Sniffles.

[gauguin57]

63. Mister Crocodile Tears.

His fake crying is the fakiest bad-acting FAKERY I've ever seen on Tee Vee.

[KharmaTrain]

64. Glenn Shtick Dreck...

For those who know Yiddish, you know...The name fits perfectly :rofl:

[TuxedoKat]

95. I like that -- Glenn Dreck!

It rhymes with his name and describes him much better too.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

65. Groan Blech. n/t

[Ganja Ninja]

67. Actually he's more like the Scarecrow.

That's what he is, he's a human scarecrow.

[PassingFair]

69. Skipper.

He LOOKS like a "Skipper".

My ten year old took one look
at him (on a screen in a restaurant)
and said, "He looks like he
SMELLS LIKE SOUP!"

I really don't know exactly what that
means, but I agree with her!

He is the first TV "personality"
that I have actually written to
complain about. When he first
appeared on CNN or where ever
he was before FAUX.

FAUX is CLEARLY where he belongs

[gauguin57]

84. How about Soupy, then?

He looks like a Soupy.

[polmaven]

70. If we're going Wizard of Oz....

he may fit the scarecrow role as well as tin man...If he only had a brain! (Or a heart). :hi:

[SaveOurDemocracy]

71. BooHoo Beck

[a kennedy]

72. the beck girl???

:shrug: :rofl:

[dionysus]

73. Dipshit?

:shrug:

[peekaloo]

74. Becker

rhymes with pecker

[tomm2thumbs]

77. Berfunkle

[ShortnFiery]

78. No, how about *Weepy, Creepy and Asshole* = Beck, Hannity and O'Reily.

:evilgrin:

[QueenOfCalifornia]

80. I just call him

a fucking douche bag. :eyes:

[Tommy_Carcetti]

81. If I were you, I wouldn't call Glenn Beck a hero. I'd call him "shithead."

[Gidney N Cloyd]

82. Beckerhead.

:thumbsup:

[foxfeet]

83. Aunt Pittypat.

Because everything gives him the vapors.

[libodem]

86. This is good stuff

and even if it is a little juvenile it's helpin' my mental health. A laugh at this nimrods expense is better than any commercial anti-depressant on the planet. Sometimes I call him Glans and in Glans Penis = Dickhead. And it makes me feel just a little bit better. But lately on the videos someone said Glenn had to go out or more batshit, and it cracked me up. Anything with Batshit does it for me now. I love the Guano. I think we could shorten it to Guan. Very similar to Glenn. (Isn't Glenn an old man's name anyway and an ugly one at that)And I like 'Bleck' up thread there. Very well. And because I may be chief hater among you I pronounce him....ta...da...*Guan Bleck*. He will be called forth into the Celestial Kingdom by that moniker. Hmmm, maybe not the Celestial, he's been makin' big money down here on earth selling the devil's bill of goods. He might just have to go to hell with that name.

[LynneSin]

89. I'll stick to the name I already call him - ASSHOLE

seems appropriate

[Hubert Flottz]

90. Glenna

[RandomKoolzip]

92. Mr. Pizza Shit

[alfredo]

93. Blubbering Beck

[11 Bravo]

94. The Grim Weeper.
