$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('roccman', 'T')his is why people should (HAVE) leveraged the snot out of their house...bought a crap load of food...then mail the keys back (business decision of course).


I don't necessarily disagree in concept, but what do you do with all that food once you're homeless?

Hey Roccman, there was once a thing called debtors prison you know. With your way of thinking you better hope for the fan.

MSM Doomer Award: Glenn Beck

Postby oswald622 » Wed 15 Oct 2008, 15:32:05

He had Peter Schiff on his show the other night, and they were talking about Weimar-style hyperinflation, martial law curfews and people being jailed by secret police. Holy cow! 8O

Just after the Wall Street Bailout, Beck started warning people that things were going to get much worse during the approaching economic catastrophe.

Beck is former crack head with ADD and a tragic family history of severe mental illness and multiple suicides. He's looking for a new niche after getting crappy ratings urging America to wake up to the threat of Islam for two solid years, when he had Newt on his almost every night demanding WW3. He's a total oil company GOP bootlicker that has made a career of calling for a race war so White People and Exxon can rule the earth. Now he's looking for a new gig.

Just because Beck’s background may possibly be subject to review doesn’t mean he isn’t smack on the money in his prediction.

There are rational doomers, and then there are embarrassing nut jobs.

Beck compares Al Gore to Hitler.

Seriously Glenn? Al Gore equals Hitler?

The world's ending and the biggest threat is Al Gore?

And this coming from a guy that has tirelessly called for race war?

Like I said, there are rational doomers, and then there's Glenn.

You know, if you draw a little mustache on a photo of Gore there is a slight resemblance.

if you hit the mute button on one of Becks arm flailing opening monologues and dubbed over it with some guttural low German, you'd get an even better effect.

There have got to be better people to cite besides Beck. It's a lot easier to predict rain when you can actually see the storm clouds than it is to take a chance much farther in advance, when everyone is out working on their sun tan/melanoma. Kunstler was predicting this stuff repeatedly, and much earlier, to the point that people were thinking he was insane and overstating the magnitude of it. But he stuck to his guns and was proven totally correct.

Beck gets his economic advise from Peter Schiff. Peter has forgotten more than most of you ( including myself ) know about economics.

Beck is self-admittedly not an expert on economics, peak oil, or other world affairs. He is, however, a good showman with impeccable timing, decent humor, outstanding expert guests, and a thirst for truth and knowledge.

He isn't afraid to call B.S. at any time against the Democrats, the Republicans (even though he is Conservative), or whoever else has it coming. He puts on a good show, and just may enlighten a few folks that might not have been paying close enough attention.

Beck is a weird one. Some days he is just batshit crazy. Whereas I always think Hannity and Limbaugh are doing schtick and don't believe their own bullshit, they just want to make money, Beck in a lot of ways seems different. He really appears to believe all brown people want to kill you in a suicide bombing.

That said, he has become a solid doomer. He has given Simmons the time of day, apparently his minions wanted to use some LATOC stuff, and he has his finger on the pulse of the economic collapse more than most of the M$M. I think he now sees he is getting the attention of doomers of all political stripes and it is getting him ratings or publicity. So, at least on these issues, I think it is almost becoming schtick. But maybe not. He may just be paranoid like the rest of us on these sites. :-D

Schiff, while likely pretty knowledgeable, isn't exactly an unbiased source. Just like Kramer and friends, info should be taken with a grain of salt.

Schiff has been calling for this collapse for 3 years. He also saw the housing crises way before anybody. I don't think he has an agenda besides selling books.

Ok, how about Schiff, Denninger, Kuntsler, Hirsch, Heinberg, Simmons, Bhaktiari, Deffeyes... I could go on but you get the picture.

Beck may be shrill and nutty, but he's putting on the folks no one else will. Unfortunately there is a lot of ridiculous spin towards the positive lately and as soon as anyone starts talking doom and gloom, the subjects get changed or the guest gets cut off. It's happening everywhere. I give props to Beck for going against the grain.
