Glenn Beck outside the U.S

[kiwisushi]

Not a clue. After reading this though, I'm pretty glad of that fact that I have no idea of him!

Glenn Beck provides non-Americans with two good things.

Firstly, comedy value.

Secondly, for those inclined, a smug sense of superiority that such nonsense doesn't pass as political discourse in their country.

 

[TehJammers]

I know him as an extremist religious-right douchebag.

Also because he allegedly Raped and Murdered a girl in 1990.

Source? Actually, forget that. Don't bother with trying to give a source for that because that statement has absolutely no basis in reality. Some moron on the internet started the rumor and it's become a joke ever since.

Actually that was meant as satire against Glenn Beck. Sometimes he takes the same approach with some of the people he speaks against: say something untrue and then make them answer for it. So when he is approached with such a ridiculous question that he just scoffed at, his own logic can be used against him. If he doesn't deny it, then it must mean that it's true!

Thanks, saved me writing out the response myself.

He's good for a laugh, until you realise he's being serious. Burn him at the stake. Not known at all in Finland unless you count Internet denizens.

I don't recall Glenn Beck ever accusing anyone of being a rapist or a murderer though. Wow, way to take the high road there, internet.

While he, to my knowledge, has never accused anyone of rape or murder, he has accused politicians of being Nazis, Terrorists, and other words that tend to muddy the waters of political discourse and, in some cases, risk violence against them. He has actively targeted President Obama and claimed that he is a Maoist, Stalinist, Marxist, Hitler, communist, and is trying to destroy America. He is the mouthpiece of the ultra-ultra-ultra right wing of the US electorate, who are partly the reason why "The Beast" (the presidential limo) is designed so it can take a direct hit by an RGP-7. These are the people who can get very violent it they are poked the right way (pun not intended).

He's pretty much a crazy person who happens to have his own crazy show on a crazy network called FOX.

Did I mention he's crazy?

 

[Skeleon]

I know him. I watch The Colbert Report as well as some opinion shows.
He's a lunatic.

I don't even know much else to say about him.
Oh, right: He's the fakest crier I've ever seen.
"SNORT! I'm sorry - rrrrhmrm - I just love my country... AND I FEAR FOR IT."

 

[Triaed]

Nope, Glenn Beck is not known all the way over here in Canada. No one talks or cares about him and the other right wing fanatics on the boob-tube.

On the other hand, I think that he is douchebag... same as Rush Limbaugh and other idiots at Fox. Well, CNN, NBC and other "news" networks; most of them provide biased opinions and they do not report about real world affairs... as if the world ended at the border.

 

[WickedSkin]

I have no idea who Glenn Beck is. I will not google him.

I youtubed him. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szlLM5lCNJg&feature=related

Wow he is allowed on TV? Why doesn't that "we never landed on the moon" guy have a show on FOX to? IT'S A CONSPIRACY!

 

[tezab]

I live in Australia and I first heard about him from a series of YouTube clips sent to me by a friend who spends most of his spare time searching the tubes for stupid stuff.

When I got cable and started to watch the Daily Show /Colbert Report I have become much more familiar with his antics as he seems to make the show every second day.

Honestly its quite scary that someone like that has that much influence.

 

[Antari]

I've heard of him, but all hes known for here is having a thing for crying on national television.

 

[Jaythulhu]

I've seen his show and I think he's a frakking retard (no offense intended to those who are genuinely retarded). I thought america had anti-defamation and anti-bullshit laws regarding people who appear on "news" channels? How is that douche still able to run his mouth?

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Hmm...I must be the only person on the Escapist who likes him.

 

[issacization]

never heard of him.

 

[Kasawd]

He's that bastard off Fox news isn't he? I've never watched him on TV but I've read about him and seen him on youtube. He looks to me like the new Josef Goebbels.

Nah. He is, in no way, as intelligent or competent as Goebbels. He feels more like that one dipshit who believes the bullshit spewing from his mouth. Like the rest of fox news but you know Hannity realizes how bad it is.
