NY Post Page 6: Glenn Beck is now "traveling with an armed guard."

http://www.nypost.com/p/pagesix/take_no_chances_96rFtsJWin7qp47R1mNVgM

Glenn Beck not taking any chances

Controversial Fox News host Glenn Beck is now travelling with an armed guard. Guests at the other day's preview of Broadway musical "Memphis" noticed Beck was closely accompanied -- even to the men's room -- by a bodyguard with a gun partially concealed under his jacket. Beck, who famously accused President Obama of being "a racist," tweeted after the show: "Just got back from 'Memphis' on Broadway. Amazing cast & music. 2 songs abt Hope & Change. rlly? Only 2?" A rep for Beck declined to comment.

1. Hahaha look at how stupid Glenn Beck is.
He thinks he's so goddamn important that Obama spends real time thinking about him.

4. Does he expect his own listeners to attack him?
Because us progressives do not use violence with guns as a solution.

7. No one's going to attack him
It's all just part of his "victimhood" spiel.

God bless them.

17. One would intuitively think that he's more afraid of his listeners than his detractors.
He continues to promise them "something big" and it NEVER comes to fruition. There are a lot of nutbags out there spending a lot of time and money following and supporting him. They are going to want a return on their investment one day.

This is my theory as to why Crybaby Beck feels the need to have professional security.

pistol whip the big mouth.

13. I believe psychiatrists call it...
Acute paranoia... when you start keeping weapons about... you know... just in case... because... you know... they are all after him.

Shame on me. I'm sorry fellow DUers. Making fun of the mentally ill is very wrong. Taking advantage of the mentally ill must surely be a special sin for which Faux Gnus will be robustly punished in this life or the next.

28. I think his paranoia may be caused by mania. He constantly talks
gibberish. I don't know if he sleeps. Would love to know that.

People at a certain stage of mania can be extremely creative and acute but it is almost certainly going to change into depression or real mania which often includes paranoia.

I'm not a doctor. I've experienced this myself.

15. K&R #2, for, months ago he was battling local authorities to build a higher fence
around his compound (in Connecticut) because he needs protection from the invasion of illegal aliens. His fencers were caught building up the foundation/embankment to put the ALLOWED footage ON TOP of the higher ground (so to speak).

16. "HELP!!!11! The paranoids are out to get me!"



I can see it won't be long now. I hope his companion is also carrying a
straight jacket for when Beckerhead has his complete emotional collapse.

18. Glenn . . . you ever read the book "We're Just Not that Into You?"
Maybe WalMart is. And most major book chains.

But we don't care.

You're a whackjob, and we're not that bored.

This is attention whoring at it's most lame.

21. Good. The public needs protection from nuts like Beck
He's so unstable, Fox probably hired the guard to help prevent lawsuits involving Beck assaulting immigrants and liberals

The "pinhead" incident proves that he's got some anger management issues.

22. Sounds like a good idea--to protect the public from Beck!
I hope that guard has his head in the right place...He's guarding a dangerous and unstable individual still allowed to mix in society, despite his unfitness.

Needs someone to protect him if the Secret Service ever (justifiably) points a gun at his forehead.

Who or what is Beck so afraid of, if only cops can carry guns on the street? Come on.

35. He's paraniod... and I do mean CLINICALLY paranoid....
He is projecting his desire to kill onto the world. To him, (sitting there at the center of the universe) his life is in great danger.
