Whoopi Slams Beck Over Quake Comment-Suggests He Look In The "Mirror"
Glenn Beck blasted for Japan quake comments

By Agence France-Presse
Tuesday, March 15th, 2011 -- 8:47 pm

WASHINGTON – US celebrities and media Tuesday blasted right-wing radio host and television presenter Glenn Beck for calling the monster quake that rocked Japan last week a message from God.

Actress, author and talk show host Whoopi Goldberg said Beck should "check the mirror" if he thought Friday's 9.0-magnitude quake and tsunami were signs of God's anger with mankind.

"If this is because we're misbehaving and God is pissed (angry), I would check the mirror, Glenn," Goldberg said on The View talkshow, which she co-hosts with three other women.

...............

"What God does is God's business, I have no idea. But I'll tell you this: whether you call it Gaia or whether you call it Jesus -- there's a message being sent. And that is, 'Hey, you know that stuff we're doing? Not really working out real well. Maybe we should stop doing some of it,'" Beck said.

2. He has to keep ratcheting up the crazy in his quest for higher ratings
In the past, crying was sufficient. Then he needed something new so he went with the chalk board. That became routine so he had his stupid march over the summer. His path has no choice but to become more and more ridiculous over time. Otherwise his audience will lose interest.
