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..."

Your statement clearly says otherwise. Perhaps you should think twice before trash talking the site that you are wasting electrons on. Someday you’ll find yourself, and will you be disappointed.
Well, when people like me and AMPU have been here for over 10 years, only being here 3 years makes someone a n00b in comparison.
You are far to thin skinned and your attempts at blackmailing AMPU by threatening not to support a site you obviously use shows your immaturity as well.
Isn’t that like: don’t poop were you sleep?
What did you mean it as?
What did you mean it as the second time?
What did you mean it as the third time?
How about the fourth?
If you endeavor to start a fight with me, don’t be surprised when you start a fight with me.
If you don’t like the way I behave in a fight, well, don’t start one.
Don’t like the club, then don’t join it.

Read my tagline n00b. I WAS Mormon, I came to my senses and got the hell out. I’m not going to sit here and have people who have no idea what Mormonism really does to people and families berate those who know the evils of the organization first hand and lived to tell about it.
Mormons are spiritual enemies, same as Muslims and atheists. In some ways they are worse since they try to convince others by lying/misleading about their beliefs so uninformed people like yourself think they are harmless and Christians.
It is very humorous that a boy who touts reincarnation would use this phrase:
for Christ’s sake

Good point that.
No, you understood it as otherwise.
Perhaps you should mind your own business.
That’s fine.
I’m really happy you’ve been here 10 years.
I mean, that’s just awesome.
And, it’s not blackmail. I’m not seeking anything, just stating the result of this conversation like I said to the other feller, hope you forum champs got that 4 x 88k on lock down, ‘cuz ya ain’t gettin’ a dime from me.
Hope the bar moves faster than it did last time, cuz that was pretty sad to watch.
Should change the banners to n00b monthly donors needed, and see how that works out fer ya.
MMM.
And what does catholic priests molesting children do to families?
There is evil all around us, you can pretty much find it anywhere.
I’m glad you came to your senses and left. Pretty much the same reason left relgion - it’s full to the brim of evil ****ed up people whom I want nothing to do with.
The fact that I won’t ever donate to this website because, as a matter of general policy, I don’t support a-holes, is simply a result of your unwarranted rudeness
BTW, I've met the man - and I don't think JR would approve of you even refering to all freepers in that manner, let alone him personally. BTW, this is an open forum - I can mind by own business where ever I want here. And since you brag about not donating to the site - you have absolutely no grounds to tell me otherwise. 
The first line you quoted refers to mormons.
The second line you quoted is a tweak, much like el rushbo’s media tweak of the day, and ya bit right on it CHOMP :)
You zealots are so predictable.
Oh, so you are liar as well. Got it.
Funny,
for an 8 year member,
your HTML is rather n00bish :P
And you want to call me stupid, rofl!
Nope.
That’s exactly what it was :D
I’m not referring to all freepers, just a few choice ones in this thread.
However, since they are long time members of this website, they won’t be getting any support from me, which I guess is too bad for everyone else, but a few bad apples as they say...
Anyway, you got it yet? Somehow, I don’t think you do...
Are you always this stupid chris, or are you making a special effort today?
Once a n00b, perpetually a n00b - in every sense of the word, as you’ve demonstrated...
So you are blaming your mooching on one person’s comments? Take some responsibility for your own behavior or lack thereof rather than blame other people. You sound like a typical liberal - take take take and make other people give because you want to throw a temper tantrum to make yourself feel better.
You don’t support the site, you just use it. Why am I not surprised.
I would think that after 8 years a person of intelligence would have learned basic HTML.
It took me less than three.
n00b.
And you won’t be needin’ no n00b donations, will ya?
Nope, no you won’t.
