Beck 'On Crack, Taking Stupid Pills' Say Mika, Joe
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 08/27/2010 5:10:14 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

When Joe Scarborough wondered out loud "how many times can you set your hair on fire?" before viewers stop being shocked, you might have thought he was talking about Keith Olbermann, the man whose scenery-chewing soliloquies inspired an instant-classic Saturday Night Live skit.

But no, Joe was speaking of Glenn Beck. Perhaps the shot Scarborough took at Ed Schultz a couple weeks ago exhausted his monthly quota of internecine MSNBC insults.

On today's Morning Joe, Mika Brzezinski and Joe took turns ripping Beck's promotion of the rally at the Lincoln Memorial he's staging Saturday on the anniversary of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech. Riffing off a Colbert Show segment showing clips of Beck, Mika claimed he sounded like a drama student "on crack." Scarborough, suggesting Mika might have gone too far, surmised Beck might merely have taken "stupid pills."

Our nation has become so jealous of anyone with any success it is scary. If you think about it, all of our problems have come from being jealous of what someone else has, and feeling you have a “right” to have it too—without any of the work.

An earlier post claiming Beck is “wishy washy” makes no sense....


Beck IS wishy-washy.....attacking Birthers...saying Prop 8, anti-gay marraige is “no issue”...having a Mormon-based rally without mentioning such to his audience...that is wishy-washy

It does demonstrate how left-wing NutWhackJob PMSLSDNBC is....if they are so afraid of “conservative” Beck

The one thing that I hated about the Winter Olympics this year, is that I had to watch much of the hockey on MSDNC...and had to see all the ads of these hatemongers being paraded as mainstream, responsible journalists...

“a Morman based rally”????
Now who’s on crack? Since when is Sarah Palin a Mormon? When did Alveda King convert? Get a grip.

Hey, Nika — When you can turn out a million people on the mall - TWICE — then maybe I’ll give a s—t about what you’re saying.

Shouldn’t the Left be tolerant of Beck’s speech, just as they are telling us to be tolerant of the victory mosque?

Pathetic. How these people even get a pedastal on which to speak is beyond me. Taking a hack-job clip, and using it as evidence to repeat “I don’t get it” (of course you don’t Joe - you’re too &@#ing stupid) shows how arrogant and ignorant you are.
Beck and his supporters have more dignity and respect than these tools ever will.

I’m waiting for a book from Mika by which she can flood us with her intellect.

I have watched them every weekday morning, but it is becoming tougher and tougher. Although I watch FoxNews all other times, the F&Fs show has too many “cat up in tree saved by neighbor” stories for my blood. Oh well...

I remember when Joe Scarborough used to believe in America

That was long before somebody turned up dead in his office and he became a camera whore.

Yes Beck is a master at something Slo Joe hasn’t a clue about; self promotion.

You are a master yourself, of what I am not sure, because Beck's message seems to go right over your head.

Get you own show and maybe I will figure it out, you have a pretty limited audience here.

If NewsBusters and the other monitors stopped watching, they would be down to Joe’s mother and Mika’s dad for viewers. ;-)

How did you decide this, do you have inside information that this is a secret Mormon recruiting rally? No you don't and you should be ashamed for implying it.

I will not look for your apology after the event.

I remember when Mika used to be sort of pretty.

Now, her face is frozen in sour, twisted, disgust. Hahaha!

His planned “Divine Destiny” rally is nothing more than a Mormon recruiting rally.

Notice you didnt mention about Beck supporting Gay Marraige or attacking Birthers.....Beck is not a conservative, hate to burst your bubble on that
