[re: net neutrality]

We are dealing with people who think they should rebel until they get their little kingdom like Satan did. You know what? Thanks, Mr. President, but I think we're going to keep the Internet the way it is right now. You know — or at least until people who are worshipping Satan, you know, aren't in office. [Emphasis added]

Satan is a fictional character from a book of myths. What is silly is that you are a Mormon. Dont you know that the founder of Mormonism used to put a rock in his hat, put his face into his hat, and then "read the rock" to "prophecy" things..and ignorant people like yourself considered it a legitimate way to acquire factual knowledge? LOL, you are a gullible dupe.
You know what? Thanks, Mr. President, but I think we're going to keep the Internet the way it is right now.
What makes you think it is only ONE PERSON doing this? Do you not understand how America works? Oh wait, its Glenn Beck. Carry on people. Nothing to see or learn here.

First he is a Marxist, then he is a brown shirt Nazi, then he is a Muslim, now he is a Satanist. How did you come across this information? Did the rock in your hat tell you?

The 1st Ammendment and the 6th Article allow the POTUS to worship Satan. Or Yahweh. Or Allah. Or Vishnu. Or the Flying Spaghetti Monster. What's your point, Glenny?

It's probably for the best that I don't watch his show... or listen to his radio show. I didn't vote for Obamaman, but is Glen actually saying that he worships Satan?

I'm sure there are people who believe him. Sad...

@ Reverend Jeremiah, to be fair, the Urim and Thummim were magic rocks fastened to something resembling a large pair of gold spectacles (though whether that makes Joseph Smith Jr's religion any less laughable is an open question).

I really can't tell from this whether Beck is for NN or against it. Or even if he has the slightest f***ing idea what NN is.

The religious craziness aside, I might have to agree with Glenn. I think the world is about to end...

Um. Satan worship, eh? *backs slowly away from the screen*

Was he trying to be ironic? "Obama is concerned about misinformation on the internet--oh, and he worships Satan, by the way, hur hurr!"

Shouldn't there be a sanity clause to be signed before people get access to the public airwaves? (Sorry Groucho!)

But George Bush has been out of office for a year and a half - do try to keep up.

I thought there was a law about this.

You know, flat out lying in an attempt to slander someone. I'm sure there's something about network TV not being allowed to do that.

Did he just flat out call Obama a Satanist?

As it was with Healthcare Reform, so it is with Net Neutrality: Telcoms are working with faux grassroots organizations and rightwing media personalities to argue against NN by arguing that NN is THE OPPOSITE of what it actually is. Not sure what the hell Glenda is carrying on about here, but you can be sure he's trying to sell a shit sandwich by telling people how good it tastes.

Please, are you telling me that the ones who invented internet were devout Christians?. In which alternative universe?

I am pretty fucking sure this is 17 different kinds of libel.

Wait... did Glenn Beck just claim that Obama worships Satan?

And really, what's so bad about net neutrality? Freedom of speech is one of the foundations of this country.

Net Neutrality means that a law would be passed requiring telecom companies to treat all data equally ie. the government telling private companies how to run their business ie. interfering with the internet. Glen Beck is opposed to interfering with the internet.

That is 17 kinds of batshit insane. It amused me that ATT is trying to recruit librarians to oppose Net Neutrality. Methinks they know nothing about librarians' professional ethics or the people who choose the profession. I think I'm stealing the analogy from Jim Hightower, but not passing a NN law would be akin to allowing ATT to interrupt your call to Dominos to tell you Pizza Hut is there preferred provider and degrading the quality of your call to Dominos.

Now that Lewis Black called out Glenn Beck for the most insane Godwin of all time, Glenn is switching to Satan?

I think Skynet needs to pull him in for reprogramming. He's malfunctioning badly enough to give away his cyborg status. I wonder which technician got fired for spilling a latte on the circuit board before they closed his head up?

You can't fool me. There ain't no sanity clause.

@Mister Spak:

But Beck wants to keep the Internet the way it is right now, which is essentially net neutral. So Beck is basically arguing that we should keep the internet the way it is right now by not having the government legislate to ensure companies keep the internet the way it is right now.

Which pretty much seals the case for Beck not having the faintest idea what he's talking about.

His ratings are in decline. He'll say anything to prolong his 15 minutes of shame.

Glenn Beck is a child throwing a hissy fit. Ignore him and he'll go away.
