Lawrence O'Donnell's Classic Take Down Of Glenn Beck's Lunatic Religiosity, Fake Piety & Sanctimony

Clip from March 22, 2011, The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell where Lawrence makes fun of, and classically takes down, Glenn Beck's lunatic religiosity (e.g., his "end times" and Book of Revelation rants), fake piety and the phony (media-driven) zone of sanctity that protects him.

i think it is rather ego centric for this guy to think beck is angry with him. I don't like Beck at all but

[incitebytes]

@mizzoulibertarian, I think he's obviously being somewhat tongue-in-cheek. It's part shtick and part trying to glom onto some of Beck's ratings by baiting/goading him (Beck) into responding.

Beck, "Clearly non-God fearing hosts..."

lol -- just found it funny.

@kwb70652, Ha, you beat me to it -- that was my favorite line in the whole thing. Too funny.

It seems to me that all religious people are 'half-smart'

I love the Jefferson quotes, Beck is a propaganda machine who twists the words of the founders, uses a poisonous world view that's false in every way (christianity) which is original to it as well as based on a book of fallacy and contradiction.

@McFrenchington well explain where he said homosexuality was wrong. That's the point about fRight-wing Christians. They praise Jesus while invoking the old testament. *sigh*

[McFrenchington]

@axollot I believe I said explain where Christ said it. Being as Christians follow the teachings of Jesus Christ. Pretty big difference.

[axollot]

@McFrenchington It's in the old testament. Leviticus discusses what food you can and cannot eat and the punishments for breaking the rules.

@cbarden2 Fuck yahweh!

Larry O'Donnell is quite possibly the most boring motherfucker on the planet. The guy isn't fit to be on the cesspool that is msnbc let alone cable TV. Look at the way he stares into the camera talking in that monotone voice like he's reading a bed time story to his child, I had to fight bobbing my head twice while watching this boring motherfucker pop off at the mouth.

I cannot stand Beck either, but O'Donnell is by far the biggest tool on TV, not to mention the most insanely idiotic.

WOW! Mr. O'Donnell, you rock!

It's a whole different story when you hear a man who knows reason and whose brain is free of sick religious dogma! We need more people like O'Donnell. We need to create an environment that rejects medieval minds like Glen Beck's.

This guy is an idiot! I'm not a real Beck fan but if you ACTUALLY DO check out Beck's "facts" they really do line up with what he's saying. Some of you, like this nut, just want to bash Beck and are too lazy to actually check to see if what he's saying is true.

I think Im starting to see a man crush develop here...Does this guy even do any news or does he only whin about Beck.... He so week he has to go after Beck just to have a show... What the hell is he going to do when Beck leaves Fox... This guys career will be over..... No big loss , this guy blows chunks....
