It’s your lucky day! You can get an education from one of the premiere misanthropes of modern times.
I wish I could tell you that this is a clever photoshop on my part — but sadly, no. This is the actual emblem of something called Beck University that was officially announced today [pig delinked] by the king of all distorted right-wing media, although judging from the initial info its formal accreditation as one of America’s institutions of higher learning may be a few years away (and there’s no truth to the rumor that the Pac-10 immediately asked Beck U. to become a member):
From Beck’s web site:
This July, while others are relaxing poolside, head back to the classroom – from the comfort of your own home. That may sound like an oxymoron but Glenn’s new academic program is only available online.
Offered exclusively to Insider Extreme [pig delinked] subscribers, Beck University is a unique academic experience bringing together experts in the fields of religion, American history and economics. Through captivating lectures and interactive online discussions, these experts will explore the concepts of Faith, Hope and Charity and show you how they influence America’s past, her present and most importantly her future.
I guess you could call this "the Harvard of right-wing radio universities," in the sense that, well, to my knowledge there aren’t any other right-wing radio universities. Unlike Harvard or Yale, where Beck was a half-term (sound familiar?) student in one theology course after his ex-friend Joe Lieberman pulled some strings, Beck U. is strictly a profit deal. Only by paying Glenn Beck Inc. [pig delinked] to become an extreme insider [pig delinked]($9.95 a month, or $74.95) can you enroll on Beck’s pseudo-cyber-campus. How else do you think Beck expects to sell that $4.25 million manse and move into bigger digs?… [emphasis added]

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
With schools like that around, it’s no wonder that today’s kids don’t know anything! 🙂
LOL, Jack. But this one is for big brainless kids with money.
I suppose next we’ll have Sarah Palin’s School of (mis)Management and (non)Governance?
And Rush’s school of misanthropy.
This was a good post, but as you mentioned the bastard will make a fortune off it. People, bless their little hearts will gladly fork over what money they have. Kind of like Religion I’d say….
It has a religious aspect, Tom. He’s adevertised teaching the gospel of Supply-side Jesus: war, greed, and hate.
At least he won’t get as many students as the religious right, like Jerry Falwell and Oral Roberts. With their religious connection they were able to build stable schools, that will be with us for a long time, unfortunately. Graduating their so called superior morality. Their top honor student under investigation by the Senate for defrauding the American people. Like the leaders of these schools, many of the graduates are hiding in the closet of their own homosexuality, adultery, or whatever their personal sin. Beck is probably buggering some little boy; find the proof, lets get him kicked off the air!
Tom, I think that Beck’s is for those who aren’t even bright enough to get into Liberty or ORU.
what a shame the poor deluded wingers are duped again! He is doing this for the MONEY, pure and simple. Do ya ever wonder why there are so many nuts like Beck and Limpy running around spreading hate and fear? It’s because liberals are anti gun and anti violence 🙂
Sue, I remember well in the 1960s that, when the lefties demonstrated against the war in Vietnam, the righties, unable to confront us intellectually, confronted us with violence. How little things have changed in that way.
I saw this yesterday on JR’s blog. I’ll pony up $5 for someone else to go. My head would explode if I went. Who wants to throw in some cash and who wants to volunteer for this sickness?
Did JR beat me to this one? That stinker!! 😉
Don’t look at me!! My poor brain already gets teabuggered enough watching Faux Noise to study the enemy and find out where not to shop.
I couldn’t remember who but someone was talking about this yesterday and I just can’t see anyone period tying their credentials to that idiot. I mean come on!
Jim, my favorite definition for “expert” is someone who will use his credentials in the service of whatever he gets paid to say.
Sorry, been drinking fairly heavy as part of the holiday fun so I had to read this post several times to get the jest. This is an excellent post Tom but my first alcohol induced fuzzy impression was this had to be something from The Onion.
Given some of the stuff Beck is claiming to have happened to him recently I expect he will declare himself the second coming of Christ any day.
Beach, when I found the source, I had to read it twice, and I haven’t touched a drop in over five years.
He probably has… in the mirror.
Just a bit off the wall, I somehow think of Oral Roberts university.
Makes me kind of giggle. What kind of skills?
I dare not mention–actually it’s from vintage National Lampoon–Connie L.
( I gotta stop drinking this stuff).
Ivan, I remember the time when he proclaimed that unless he received $8 million, he would die.
All you need to know for your degree is: Obama is a an Islamist/racist/Marxist/Commie, George Bush is a progressive, and Beck is a genius.
Hey, maybe I can be on the faculty.
You don’t quality, Dave. You suffer from insanity defecit.
Unfortunately people will get duped out of their money but I can’t wait when one of theese little teabaggers gets denied a job because they lack a proper education!!! I wonder what Beck U’s refund policy would be?!?!
On the other hand, if the GOP gets the White House, that degree will be worth top government posts.
Actually, if the Palin-Limbaugh-Beck wing of the GOP gets the White House, it will mean a visa application for me. (Always was curious about ex-pats)
Beck’s logo of “Tyrannis Seditio, Obsequium Deo” roughly translates as “Revolution against tyrants, submission to God”.
But I rather favor the logo at Democratic Underground which provided a Beck logo w/ its Latin motto of “Traho Res Ex Vestri Culus” – in even rougher Latin – meaning “Pulling Things Out of Your Ass”

Welcome back, Nameless. Missed you! I have friends that expatriated to South America. Check out Ragebot in our blogroll. Personally, I think that Beck needs a rectal craniectomy.
