Toward the beginning of his radio show today, Glenn Beck responded to an effort this past Friday by the Washington Post to smear him and his Mormon faith by means of a skewed article with an even more misleading headline (“Mormon Glenn Beck: Hurricane Irene and East Coast earthquake a ‘blessing’ from God,”)
As discussed in an earlier article in the Philadelphia Jewish Culture Examiner space, the Post was successful if its goal was to spread the impression that Beck really believed that last week’s natural East Coast hurricane and earthquake were themselves a blessing. This is of course as opposed to what Beck actually pretty obviously -- to anyone who listened to his words without a predominating agenda -- meant, which was that there was a blessing in the need for preparedness these could-have-been-much-more-deadly disasters highlighted.
Near the very beginning of his discussion on this topic, Beck (who broadcasts on his own GBTV network and who can also be heard in the New York City area on 800 WLAD-AM) called out the Washington Post’s headline, saying: “So they smear immediately. It’s like saying 'Jew George Hilzig says'."
Shortly thereafter, Beck, who was in Israel during much of the previous two weeks for his “Restoring Courage” solidarity event, said, “Here I am, not playing into the fear, not telling you 'hey, freak out.' What I’m saying to you is: this is a good thing because it’s not going to kill a lot of people, and maybe a few people will remember “hey, maybe I should be a help to others..."

So you think you can come here and trash talk everyone and brag about not supporting the site. They have a word for that - parasite. Perhaps you should explain just how rotten you believe FR is now chrissy and why you feel you can just stroll in, leave your pile on the floor and blame others. Sounds like a progressive democrat kind of attitude - very 0bamaesque.
I wish I had a lower I.Q., so that I could enjoy your company. Thinking isn’t your strong point, is it?
No, I’m basing my refusal to donate on one person’s unwarranted insult.
As I stated previously, I had considered donating a number of times, but I didn’t.
Sadly, there is no chance whatsoever any such consideration will ever occur again.
“do to others what you would have them do to you”
Isn’t that in some book you read? Looks like you missed that part.
WHOOPSIE.
The truth is the truth.
Truth has no agenda.
You can believe what I said, or not, I don’t really care.
I am talking to one person who called me a n00b.
I can’t help that other people want to stick their nose in it.
So it’s up to about 4 people now.
That hardly qualifies as trash talking everyone.
If you don’t want parasites on your forum, then perhaps you should not go out of your way to start stuff with potential new donors. No go backs now though, the damage is done.
And why don’t you tattle to Jim some more, little Susy.
On the contrary chrissy, littly crybaby statement like yours show very clearly that you think little of FR. Typical entitlement mentality - you want to use a service but find any excuse not to pay for it. Wow, 4 whole people render FR to be full of a-holes.

Better buck up and get some thicker skin chrissy - if you can't stand the heat, better say out of the kitchen.
And why don’t you tattle to Jim some more, little Susy.
Whats the matter chrissy - forget that it is common practice to ping someone when you speak about them. I’d explain it to you, but I don’t have any crayons with me.
“And you won’t be needin’ no n00b donations, will ya?
Nope, no you won’t.”
.................
Let’s see what we’ll need to all chip in to cover your donations.... Ummmm...
3 years X $0.00 equals $0.00
Let’s cover your next 30 years at an equal rate ..... Hmmmmm, carry the zero.... Hmmm
OK, if we all work together and each chip in ZERO $, we can cover for chris37 so he can continue freeloading and sipping lady-drinks.
Anyone willing to help me cover for chris37?
Oh, after today I think nothing of it.
Nothing.
But that’s really the fault of a handful of arrogant, stuck up, long time members, so look to yourself and your cohorts in this thread on that.
And you’re the only one talking about Jim in this conversation, so whatever floats your boat, random person on the internet.
I’m still in the kitchen, in case you didn’t notice.
Didn’t you use your crayon to write your HTML in your previous post?
Did you lose it up your...nevermind.
As I stated to you previously, I could support all the financial needs of this website alone for a number of years if I so chose, but I will not so chose.
I see you are bigoted against women too.
Not surprising.
“I could support all the financial needs of this website alone for a number of years if I so chose”
n00b:
4) One who may talk trash, claiming to be elite at a game...
You are being childish. If you aren’t willing to support the site, and are using a single comment, which you blew out of proportion, as an excuse then why don’t you head over to DU with the other parasites.
You don’t even see the difference between faith and religion.
There are problems with priests, there are problems with other Christian groups, there are problems with atheists, Muslims, pagans etc. Pedophilia doesn’t stem from religion and in fact most are atheists.
But even the pedophile priests are not representative of the Catholic church as a whole. The problem is with individuals.
The problems with Mormonism, however, stem from the Religion itself. The whole organization is evil and corrupt, not just a few members.
it’s full to the brim of evil ****ed up people whom I want nothing to do with.

That is exactly how I feel about atheists and anti-theists. I have yet to meet one who is happy, most of them are sad small minded people like you.
I love it when the non-donors think they can tell the rest of us what to do.
I’d bet money he is always this stupid, and self absorbed.
It is tiresome to deal with people like that who have IQs in the PH scale range.
blah, blah, blah - more excuses. The Golden rule has nothing to do with donating to a site you use, parasite.
One person insults you and you throw a temper tantrum. Get over yourself. If you don’t want to support the site, then leave. If you can’t handle a little comment, leave. And avoid most threads because ‘n00b’ is mild.
BTW, you too Matt 7:12 out of context, but I’m not surprised. If you read and believed the bible you wouldn’t act the way you do.
Oh, after today I think nothing of it.

Well at least you admit to not thinking. That is an improvement since you have obviously demonstrated that you don’t think.

I call Bullshit on that one.
And AMPU is definitely not against women, several of his closest freeper friends are women.
