Have you ever laughed at someone then realized they are seriously mentally ill?

I am finding it harder and harder to laugh at Glenn Beck.

He's not pretending to be crazy. Maybe he used to be, but now he's genuinely fucked up.

At this point it seems cruel of FOX to put this obviously ill man on the air as a side-show.

1. I think Beck is acting a part.

And he's much more over the top than say, Bill Shatner.

2. yup, exactly... a good actor. Playing the part that makes the big $$ nt

3. no, he does have serious issues

just read up on his history

7. Charlatans can go nuts and start believing their part

I think that at some point Uri Gellar may have started to believe he had powers, for instance.

And some famous faith healers probably ended up believing they sometimes actually did heal people.

L. Ron Hubbard may have actually believed some of his stuff late in life, though he obviously invented Dianetics as a cynical joke.

The validation of fans crediting your lunacy... echo chamber... I can see it becoming a genuine delusion.

5. Not talking about Glenn Beck.

But I can say this, if you watch it in sequence in real time, I see sequences that are not possible to be coincidences. However if you do not see all the pieces it sounds insane.

:shrug: people that are meant to see it see it.


Here is my question about Becks sequencing, what purpose does it serve by his own admission. So if any of it was correct, what would be its source?

6. I've been saying that he is ill...for a long time. They will find a tumor

in his brain or something when he dies.

I think it is sad that his family has watched him deteriorate without getting him help.

8. Yeah, he's crazy all the way to the bank.

Fucker made something in the range of $40 million off of that act last year.
