Roland Martin Politicizes Beck Appendectomy: 'Blew Gasket After NY23'
NewsBusters.org ^ | 11/05/2009 | Matthew Balan

Posted on 11/05/2009 8:26:13 AM PST by Pyro7480

Roland Martin, CNN Contributor | NewsBusters.orgCNN contributor Roland Martin made light of Glenn Beck’s emergency appendectomy in a post on his Twitter account late Wednesday night/early Thursday Morning: “Glenn Beck had an appendectomy today. He must have blown a gasket after Hoffman lost the NY-23. Keep crying, Glenn!

Martin’s lack of sympathy for the conservative talk show host is more than apparent in this first post, but it was further compounded after another Twitter user called him out on it. Jtlol wrote, “Must be part of your ‘fresh perspective for the 21st Century.’ I hope you never need emergency surgery.” The CNN contributor replied, “I had an appendectomy in 2000. Your point?”

So Martin clearly knows the pain of an ailing appendix, but cannot sympathize with Beck because he’s on the opposite side of the political spectrum. Stay classy, Roland!

Being thin skinned won’t help us. Beck is a tough guy, he can take it. We’ll dish it out in 2010 when we win more.

He’s all atwitter about another man’s suffering.

And yet there are some who’ve said that Chris Matthews’ call for the murder of Rush Limbaugh was mere hyperbole and analogy (to a James Bond villain who had his head blown up).

The hate filled rhetoric from the Left is real.

To me fair, I laugh at the epidemic of cranial rectal inversion on the left all the time.

Did anybody Tweet him back to let him know Glenn wasn’t upset? He was actually excited about the race, even though Hoffman lost. Regardless of the results, it sent a message — we will keep coming for their seats!

Apparently Roland doesn’t listen to Glenn, either — but he somehow knows what he’s (not) saying or feeling. And they accuse us of being ignorant...

Rollie, I’d say I hope your significant other, whatever he or she may be, is feeding you a lot of heavy, fatty food...but it looks like he or she already is.

Very true. I understand Beck’s mattress at the hospital is stuffed with hundreds. If I were him, I’d be flying in the Dahm triplets to care for me. Wearing Saran Wrap uniforms, of course.

What was Beck’s last surgery that he detailed on his CNN show? Let us pray this one went much easier!

I could see how his stupid joke would make sense if Glenn had had a heart attack, but appendicitis? How could bad news trigger that?
