Was Glenn Beck not on his own show Friday because of the 'poison' comment he made on Thursday?

[Tx4obama]

Has anyone heard why Glenn Beck was not on his show on FoxNews on Friday? (there was a fill-in guy instead of Beck)
Was it because of the 'poison' comment he made on Thursday?
Was it because he is somewhere getting a mental evaluation?
Was it because he is undergoing a Secret Service interrogation?
Anyone know?

1. Maybe he killed himself?

We can only hope........

**cue all the stealth Repukes who can't help but defend the treasonous assclown BecKKK, as he incites morons to destroy the country**

[Duckhunter935]

2. I do not defend him but that is not right

We do not need to sink to that level

[Sebastian Doyle]

4. So which level should we sink to?

Watching the only chance we have at even a partially decent health care system in this country vanish because some goddamn dry drunk Mormon lunatic takes millions of dollars from corporations and incites his idiot followers into starting the next civil war?

Fuck that. If I thought BecKKK would take himself out, I'd hand him the gun with a bullet in the chamber.

[cynatnite]

6. I hate these people but I would never hope for their deaths...

If I did, I would be no better than them. I am a much better person than they will ever be.

[Sebastian Doyle]

10. One of these BecKKK lovers shot a doctor in his church a few weeks back

How many more doctors would these lunatics kill if they supported the "Obama Librul Commie Kenyan Nazi Killin Babies and Old People" health care plan?

Better BecKKK and/or these mindless freeps than innocent people trying to do their jobs.

[cynatnite]

12. And my wishing them dead would affect them how? n/t

[Chulanowa]

23. I won't say I wish for their deaths...

But if htye should just happen to keel over, I'm not going to shed a single tear.

[emilyg]

14. I don't hope that anybody kills themselves.

[ControlledDemolition]

18. My hope is that he gets waterboarded live on CSPAN! n/t

[varelse]

33. Yeah! Damn that knee-jerk human decency and compassion!

Not wanting Glen Beck to die by his own hand isn't quite the same as defending him. Just sayin'

[jkshaw]

3. I wish sincerely that an answer to your questions

is "All of the above."

But that would be too justified to be true.

[Rex]

5. He is crying tears of self loathing with his best bottle of scotch.

While eating truffles and smoking a lot of pot.

EDIT - "Woahs me, woahs me!" Boo hoo, everyone hates me!" Glug glug, puff, puff.

[Doctor_Horrible]

7. and using that creepy split screen with one monitor on an extreme close up of his crazed eyes. nt

[ColbertWatcher]

20. ...

[Doctor_Horrible]

41. my eyes!! my eyes!! :) nt

[Tx4obama]

8. ooooh that was good!

You could build on that!

"Glug glug, puff, puff - I'm a thug, I can't get enough of the stuff!"

[Rex]

9. Ya! Then I want to get violent and shout hate and more hate!

Cuz I am all adickted to that hate and violence! Glug, gulg! Those people just hate me because I am so succesful and popular and I could play golf with Rush anytime I want to!!!! Puff, puff...no I can't boo hoo!! I hate people!

[Howzit]

11. Why are you watching the Glenn Beck show?

[dem629]

13. If people didn't watch it and didn't report, you would never know about him, would you?

You would never have any idea what the other side was up to. You'd be as ignorant as Beck's followers.

What's with this McCarthyistic attitude, demanding to know why people are watching or listening or reading certain things?

[SleeplessInAlabama]

26. That's ridiculous. RW newsmedia is a legitamite agenda-setter in America,

for better or worse.

Fox News is the most-watched cable "news" network on TV, and it is merely the television arm of News Corp., which exerts its influence every day across America in print and online as well.

It simply isn't possible that millions of right-wingers get "information" pumped into their homes 24/7 and we not be aware of its content as well. There's nothing McCarthyistic about it - it is, after all, the national media.

[dem629]

29. You're making my case, but I don't think you realize it.

[Tx4obama]

15. Actually....

I don't watch Glenn Beck (except for the outrageous vids here on DU).
My remote's fav button is programmed with CNN, HLN, FoxNews, C-Span, and MSNBC (the numbers here in Houston are in that order).
So, when I was making my way back to MSNBC I just noticed that Beck was not there.

p.s. I must admit though that I do sometimes watch Shepard Smith on Fox on the days that I have caught MSNBC's Hardball in the early time-slot and don't want to rewatch it a second time. I truly wish MSNBC didn't show as many repeated shows as they do

[dem629]

16. You really don't have to explain yourself to anyone.

Some folks prefer the Ostrich Approach.

[dem629]

17. My guess: vacation day, or starting a long vacation.

It's summer, and so many of these hosts are taking time off, understandably.

That said, maybe Beck's wife left the house yesterday morning without letting him out of his straight-jacket.

[ControlledDemolition]

19. Coincidentally, padded cell padding sales are up! n/t

[Kievan Rus]

21. I hope he got fired

He's way out of line, even for Faux News. The sooner he gets fired, the better.

[AlinPA]

32. He will never be fired from Fox "News". They love him and his ratings. He brings in

the moron viewers.

[Tx4obama]

22. Well THIS is crazy ....

Just came across the Glenn Beck thread on the link below:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2310828/posts
And all the loonies over there are calling each other COMRADE !!!

[noamnety]

28. I clicked the link

and saw a reference to someone's "ordeal" at a townhall.

I tracked down that person's posts ... find out she is Susan Price (bareford101) protesting against public health care, and sure enough: "It was on the news this morning that Doggett would be having another Town Hall meeting today at the Veterans Affairs Center. Since my husband has used that Center ..."

Her family's happy to use tax payer funded health care, but it's the work of satan if others get that same benefit.

(Her "ordeal" turned out to be that she was asked to leave.)

[Kablooie]

24. I hope he has to start selling vacuum cleaners to Elizabeth at 3 in the morning.

[tblue37]

25. Ann Coulter once said someone should poison the creme brulee

of one of the more liberal (sane) SC justices---I forget which one.

RW media mouths often suggest killing elected officials and judges.

[Tx4obama]

27. Ann said it about Justice Stevens - here's a link

[backscatter712]

30. Hopefully, he's in the psych ward rubber room...

Where's that cartoon showing Beck's dressing room at FOX News having padded walls?

[Tx4obama]

31. I'd like to see that! n/t

[backscatter712]

37. HA! Tracked it down!

[Tx4obama]

38. Hahahahahahahahaha!!! n/t

[varelse]

34. That sort of joke is not funny

imagine the furor that would have been generated if someone had made a similar joke about the Speaker of the House when the Republicans controlled both chambers of the Legislature and the Executive branch (not to mention the partisan inroads they were making into the Judicial branch).

[Spazito]

35. Beck is lower than pond scum n/t

[theothersnippywshrub]

36. Maybe he chose the wrong glass of wine. n/t

[rvablue]

39. Probaby. But CryBaby via Twitter claims that he was having an hours long soulful

conversation with his wife at a park.

I think your theory is more plausible. Ailes probably told him to take the day off and chill out.

[npk]

40. I heard his AA meeting ran long.

Though I could be mistaken.
