This cartoon depicts a prisoner of prisoner of Guantanamo Bay being forced to watch the Glenn Beck show. To him, and to the majority of sane Americans, this show is torture. He is frightened and confused because he thought that Obama had banned the use of torture on inmates. It is frightening to think that people actually believe what this idiot says and continue to watch him on a daily basis. He is a selfish, rich, pompous asshole who does not care about anyone but himself and his political views. He stated once on his show on Fox News, "When I see a 9/11 victim family on television, or whatever, I'm just like, 'Oh shut up' I'm so sick of them because they're always complaining." What kind of human being is so insensitive to people who lost their families in a national tragedy? Also, when asked why he thought that the Californians who lost there homes in the 2007 fire deserved it, Glenn Beck stated, "I think there is a handful of people who hate America. Unfortunately for them, a lot of them are losing their homes in a forest fire today."
How can someone take this guy seriously? How can someone like this be on the air for as long as he has? The only use this man has for me is for a couple of good laughs when the Daily Show with John Stewart make fun of his ridiculous statements. I couldn't imagine watching his show without the comedic commentary of John Stewart.. it would be torturous.
I understand where you are coming from, it is a shame that someone with no regard for others has a TV show. I think conservatives like him because he is good for a shock and stirs up controversy. However can we really trust his viewers since they are watching the Fox news channel for their daily dose of politics. No matter how bad his views are though he does offer a new perspective.
