Who does Glenn Beck think the "top ten bastards of all time" are?

[Holmes]

Guys, Beck is all just an act...!

[You kip if you want to...]

Adolf Hitler is below Woodrow Wilson?

AND FDR!?

[Mechaman]

Adolf Hitler is below Woodrow Wilson?

Yep, if it wasn't for Woodrow Wilson there would be no Hitler. Therefore Wilson was a lot worse he gave us the Fed and WWI which all led to WWII.

Uh huh.

Back into your cage now.

Did PiT say that?

No, it's Stark pretending to be Pit for some really really weird reason.

No, Stark posed as him.

For once he's right. Germany should have been balkanised after WW1.

10. Pol Pot: Finally Beck shows that somewhere in that head of his is a brain.
9. Robert Mugabe: No argument here, except where the hell is Stalin?
8. Teddy Roosevelt: Beck is an idiot. Teddy Roosevelt, for someone who gets a rap about being "progressive", was actually quite pragmatic. His big stick policy was a joke, but compared to the other Roosevelt, the man is a genius.
7. Bernie Madoff: This one actually makes some sense, but what the hell is Madoff doing here when Stalin didn't even make the list?
6. Adolf Hitler: Finally a choice that makes perfect sense, except that it should be a higher ranking than #6.
5. Keith Olbermann: Come on, Olbermann may be an asshole, but worse than Hitler?
4. Pontius Pilate: Oh what because he killed your lord Jesus? You know most Christians I know would actually thank the lord for Pontius Pilate (yes they are that weird)
3. Franklin D. Roosevelt: Just because someone is an idiot doesn't mean they're a bastard. That isn't to say FDR didn't throw people into concentration camps just because of their ethnicity (see Japanese Americans), but ahead of Hitler?
2. Tiger Woods: Wow, Gramps was right, Beck really is a racist bastard. I mean really, what reason does he have to call Woods a bastard?
1. Woodrow Wilson: This is actually somewhat understandable, if Woodrow Wilson hadn't gone out of his way to get us involved in World War I Hitler would've never risen to power. However, without US involvement (I am sure as hell not justifying WWI) it is possible the Russian Revolution could've happened earlier. In that case, instead of getting Hitler the world would get SUPER STALIN, who might've been worse. If the man has no qualms about killing 20 million of his own people, what makes anyone think he would be more lenient about other people?

He called Tiger a bastard because he is a multi-millionaire, has a swedish super model wife, and plays golf for a living. So yes, BASTARD!

[Mechaman]

My personal opinion about why Glenn Beck thinks Tiger Woods is a bastard?

Because Tiger Woods is of mixed ancestry, more so than probably any of us on here. Beck can't accept the fact that a man with dozens of different races in his blood could somehow become a multi-millionaire, have a Swedish super model wife and become one of the greatest golfers of all time! Because if he did acknowledge Tiger's superiority it would go against is belief in racial separatism (keeping the races separate) because he can't accept the fact that mixing between the races makes the human race as a whole much stronger and not weaker!

I would like to take this moment just to say:
Damn the legacy of racial supremacy!!!

I don't doubt that Beck is an asshole, but I've yet to see any evidence that he's a racist.

You're right.
He is just a mean-spirited prick who hates everyone that isn't like him.

[Swedish Rainbow Capitalist Cheese]

His mother-in-law is also a prominent politician and former minister for the Social Democrats, which probably doesn't make things better either. (Yes that's right, he married with socialists)

[Brittain33]

He called Barack Obama a racist, and many people seem to think that calling someone's actions makes you racist in yourself (see Rep. Hank Johnson.)

Did you guys even read the article?!
That and seriously what reason would somebody have to label Tiger Woods in second place only after Woodrow Wilson in the list of "Top Ten Bastards"?
I mean really, you guys know me better than to throw out the race card for no reason.

I was being facetious Mech.
Even if Beck isn't racist he is doing a heck of a job pretending to be one.

Beck translation - "The Uppity n doesn't deserve what he has.......I [beck] deserve it"

[Zarn]

Who cares what Beck thinks.

millions and millions of people (unfortunately)

But most of those those people support Obama, anyway...

A golfer marrying into a Socialist family? Wtf?

[JSojourner]

The book is actually good. Try reading it.

I did.  It's basically a collection of meandering rants, lies, distortions and obfuscations from cover to cover.

I note, with sadness, that Bill Safire died today.  I really wish today's conservatives would raise up voices like his.  Or Bill Buckley's. You have some really bright people on your side of the spectrum, but you keep shoving them aside in favor of cocaine-addled, oxycontin addicted radio shock jocks.

WTF is up with that?

[CultureKing]

Beck has just become more and more offensive. Truthfully I think he has gotten to the point of spreading enough hate that he could potentially be a domestic-terrorism generating machine. Even if that may not be his goal the way he holds himself and speaks makes it more and more likely, especially with his under-informed viewership. Personally I am offended that he would put someone like FDR ahead of Stalin, Mao or Hitler. And the fact that he has Olbermann on his list shoes how self-centered and petty Beck is. There is no brain in there.

[The Mikado]

Lunar's going to get pissed at me for bumping a 9-month-old thread, but I do have a rationale:

Look at the number 2 on Glenn Beck's list.  Then look up the date that the Tiger Woods scandal broke.

How the hell did Beck know?

I don't get this bit. Didn't the Russian Revolution happen before US involvement, or as to its completion, perhaps during?  So I don't see how US involvement delayed it.
