I’m just a little irritated at the groupthink going on among republicans lately.

Not every criticism is an attack.

Not every criticism is an attack.

The real point of criticism is that the critic is offering the subject advice on perceived problems. The subject is wise who reviews what was said and prepares for dealing with those issues (or corrects them) should they be brought up later.

We may not LIKE what BECK said, but to ignore it may be to our peril.

I'm just a little irritated at the groupthink going on.... among.... (your option here).... and that it has been going on ever since Adam fathered some children.

How about a little perspective here? Taking a “quote” completely out of context and making it the story doesn’t make it THE story. I hate it when people do that. Beck didn’t say or DO anything that a lot of us didn’t think or feel when Brown told the world his daughters were available. His daughters were totally embarrassed.
As for the nude pics, read the context, for heavens sake. He was talking to his friend on the air in Chicago. Get a life people. If you are gonna criticise based on a cheap shot, rememeber that those in glass houses ought NOT throw stones.

GLENN: Another gift coming from me. Here is, here is why I have to bring this up. Because this wasn’t a vote for Scott Brown. It’s not a I mean, you know, I was on the air in Chicago today with WIND, our affiliate in Chicago, and we were talking having conversation about, you know, was he a good candidate or was it just healthcare or whatever. And he didn’t stink as a candidate. I mean, he was, you know, he’s a good candidate as far as he said the right things, he had the, you know, right lines, et cetera, et cetera. And she was a bad candidate. But that’s not what this was about. This was not a personality contest. So with that being said, we’ve got to be really I mean, we you know, the people in Massachusetts, I don’t know okay. Has anybody seen the beautiful 1982 nude pictures of Scott Brown?

STU: I have not searched for those myself, no.

GLENN: A little disturbing.

PAT: Unfortunately somebody shoved the cellphone picture of it, “Look at this” right in my face yesterday. During the TV meeting.

STU: You didn’t mean to see these pictures.

PAT: Please. It’s a guy!

STU: They just happened to get in front of you.

PAT: It’s a guy!

STU: No, I’m just saying you were admitting.

GLENN: There’s nothing more luscious than a guy naked.

PAT: Ooh! That was my reaction, ick! He really did that? I thought that was Olbermann just being Olbermann. He really was naked.

GLENN: Oh, no, he did that.

PAT: Yeah, he was. You didn’t see anything but he’s naked.

STU: That Seinfeld comes to mind of the good naked and the bad naked when his girlfriend is walking around and that’s fine and then he’s like belt sanding naked? Not fine.

PAT: (Laughing).

GLENN: Exactly right. Okay. So you’ve got a question. Now again this is 1982 but you’ve got to question, what were you thinking? And then last night after the victory speech his family is up next to him and his daughters were there. Now, I have three daughters. So I have a little bit of experience of saying and doing the wrong thing with my every dad has done stupid things that you get home and your wife says, what the heck were you even thinking about? These are our daughters.

PAT: Absolutely.

GLENN: Right?

PAT: Absolutely.

GLENN: Because guys, you cannot figure women out. You can’t you don’t know the psychosis that is chickdom. Oh, see, Sarah, look at Sarah. Sarah just looked at me like, what are you

STU: She knows it better than anyone.

GLENN: You want to bring that up

STU: That’s right, you heard me.

GLENN: Psychosis. Guys you can figure out: Food, sex. That’s it.

STU: Two step process.

GLENN: It really is. Feed me, make love to me, let me sleep.

STU: Sleep, yeah. That would be the third, sleep.

GLENN: Come on.

STU: That’s pretty much the bottom line.

GLENN: That’s pretty much it. That’s pretty much it. We’re simple.

STU: Uncomplicated begs.

GLENN: Women are psychos.

STU: A tad of a generalization. It’s possible that’s a

GLENN: No, here’s the thing, and I mean this one sincerely. I can’t there are times that I just walk into, you know you know what? I feel like, you know, when Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and he’s running out and he’s got the, you know, he’s got the statue, “Throw me the statue! Throw me the whip!” And he throws the statue and the guy doesn’t throw the whip. And then he goes underneath the door and he sees the other guy impaled? You know what I mean? Like, oh, yeah, should have thrown me the whip. That’s the way I think dads feel once in a while if you have daughters. That you’ll just all of a sudden step into it and you are just like... and you’re impaled on the side of the cave. Am I right?

PAT: Uh huh. Uh huh.

GLENN: So as a guy who has experienced that before, I understand. But I don’t understand the thinking of Scott Brown last night with his two daughters and national TV audience when he says this. Have you heard this, Stu?

STU: I have not, no.

BROWN: And just in case anybody who’s watching throughout the country, they’re both available.

PAT: Speaking of his daughters here.

GLENN: Stop, stop, stop, stop. Stop, stop, stop, stop. All right. Bad enough.

PAT: Yeah, that’s bad.

GLENN: Bad enough. Hey, my two daughters on the meat market. If this if this isn’t the... and the spear is coming out of the cave where a guy I would never have done this, but you a guy could you know, you could see a stupid guy say something like that and then going oh, jeez, what did I just do?

PAT: As a dad you go the opposite way.

GLENN: Exact

PAT: By the way, for my nationwide audience, for the it. Off limits. Okay? They are going to be in a berka next stop it.

GLENN: Now they are standing behind him. He says this. Now, you know immediately my wife would have pieces of my body in a drawer this morning just on this.

STU: This is very much raining on parades.

GLENN: My daughters would never have spoken to me ever again.

PAT: Nope.

GLENN: Had I am I wrong? Dad, national television! What are you doing? Okay, that’s what the

PAT: Do you know how many psychos there are out there?

GLENN: Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. And my wife

PAT: That’s why I said it, stupid.

GLENN: Oh, my gosh! All right? Collection of my parts in drawers scattered throughout my house. But he didn’t stop there.

BROWN: Only kidding, only kidding. Only kidding, only kidding. Arianna, Arianna definitely is not available. Ayla is.

PAT: And his wife is yelling, stop! In the background.

BROWN: This is Arianna and this is Ayla.

GLENN: And did you see me naked in Cosmo? Okay. Stop. Stop. Listen, listen, listen. Listen. I want to chastity belt on this man. I want his every move watched in Washington. I don’t trust this guy. I’m just telling ya.

PAT: This is a creepy moment.

GLENN: This one could end with this one could end up with a dead intern.

PAT: Dead intern? I’m not sure I’d go that far.

STU: No, I’m pretty sure that’s not.

GLENN: In a dead intern.

STU: I’m saying, though, isn’t that just a bad trying to be cutesy with a little joke?

PAT: Creepy.

GLENN: This is you as a guy who doesn’t have daughters.

STU: Yeah, this is adorable overprotective father syndrome.

GLENN: No, no, no, no.
[ OVERLAPPING SPEAKERS ].

GLENN: And then everywhere you go, you are like, what are you looking at? What are you looking at? You think I don’t see that? I know you because I am you, brother.

STU: But to quote Pat Gray here for a moment: Do you know how many psychos are out there? I mean, yes, obviously. But these women are living their own lives protecting themselves every day.

GLENN: Oh, oh, I’m sorry. Do you know, have you watched my life?

STU: I have watched your life.

GLENN: Yeah. Have you noticed, like, the FBI is involved?

STU: I know, but

GLENN: I mean, do you know how it only takes one psycho. He’s on a national stage.

STU: He’s a little overexcited over a big win. He’s having trying to make a joke about his

GLENN: I don’t ever want you to say he was a little overexcited, ever again. I don’t ever want to hear that phrase out in I’m just sayin’. Congratulations. Now let’s monitor him. Let’s put an ankle bracelet on him. Let’s just know where he is at all times.

STU: You are raining on the parade.

GLENN: I’m just saying.

STU: We needed ten minutes of celebration and you are nonstop rain cloud.

GLENN: Okay, we’ll get to the celebration now.

STU: Thank you.

GLENN: If that’s what you think is appropriate.
