Glenn Beck Pokes Fun at the Blind, 2006



Looks like karma is hitting insensitive clod Glenn Beck right between the eyes.
Seems he's got "macular dysfunction," a condition he claims might cause blindness.
It's heartless to celebrate a disabling disease, so I will refrain from being too upbeat about this news, but I will say I hope he will have a splendid retirement from Fox News if and when his eyes fail him.
Beneath his hapless, quasi-lovable on-camera shtick lies a man filled with hatred and intolerance. He riles up ignorant people by preying on their biggest fears and insecurities.
It will be a better world if Beck has to give up his show for whatever reason.
When he made the announcement that he may be going blind, of course he started crying. Then he said how much he loved to read, and that he was "too darn lazy to learn Braille."
Good.

Shame it won't stop him writing or talking.

I'm surprised his act is so popular on the right wing. He's such a drama queen.

Beck will do or say anything for attention so I'll believe it when it happens. This sounds like a smite out of the bible. A little something you-know-who would do as punishment for a greedy gold whore like Beck.

That fuckwit needs to take a long walk on a very short pier. BTW...my photo of the day on my blog is Becky and it's sweet! ;)

This from the man who tried to persuade his flock that empathy was a bad thing.

A perfect summation - Amen, nonnie:

"i don't believe the outlook is as bleak as he wants people to believe"..."i'll feel sorry for that asshole when he has some compassion"
