Almost every week, Republicans join a competition to see who can say the most outlandish things, and in the process, they push the envelope on just how unhinged InsaniTEA can become. I trust that you will believe it, when I tell you that last week was no exception.
Glenn Beck celebrates Easter in a very bizarre way.
Glenn Beck often seems to mix his biblical metaphors when speaking about his pal Ted Cruz, a man Beck believes has been chosen by God to lead us out of the darkness.
Speaking again about God’s chosen one, Ted, Beck compared the Texas senator to Moses. On Easter. He made this comparison when he talked about sending a sympathetic note to the Cruz family about those nasty tabloid rumors of Ted’s alleged infidelity (the least unlikable thing about him).
"These guys actually believe it like we believe it," Beck said quasi-incoherently, referring to Heidi and Ted Cruz. "Imagine being in a position to where you believe it, you believe the country is at the end, you believe that God is telling you, ‘Step up to the plate.’ You believe that you, just like Moses, may be slow in speech and not the perfect guy, but you know if you get in there, you can actually do something and you’ve tried to stay loyal. Do you know what that life is like for two years of tearing yourself apart, of please Lord, just tell me, just tell me, just tell me, I’ll do it, just tell me. And the burden of I blew it? Oh my gosh, I don’t want to be them."
Now, granted, Beck could have gone full tilt and compared Cruz to Jesus, but he went with Moses this time. Presumably, Jesus will come later. Maybe for Passover. Or is that Elijah? Stay tuned.

The evil Beck polluted the radio waves for years, before progressives organized so many boycotts of his sponsors, that that we have relegated him to Internet radio. I made the graphic in way back in 2011. This is just the fifth of five listed unhinged Republican moments from last week alone. Click through for the other four.

Did you see where Up-Chucky Todd actually had Glenn Beck on "Press the Meat" today?
And in alll honesty, he actually sounded like he took ALL his meds today!
… And by that I mean Beck sounded lucid – not bright or right, but lucid.
GEEZ!!! I thought that Shrek had been relegated to less than public speaking!!! Unfrigginbelievable that he STILL has an audience!!! Ugh! All that boycotting and STILL, that meathead gets on TV! Oh well, I never watch those fake shows, ever!!! Pro Wrestling is more factual than Meat The Repukkklicans!
Isn't that kind of an insult to a very sweet ogre?

1. So Cara Jennings confronted Rick Scott to his face, and Rick makes a video to attempt to "deconstruct" her. Right. Isn't that how wealth and power always does it? I know I don't have to try to explain to anyone here what a useless excuse for a human being he is.
2. As grossly ignorant as this is, it's also just typical O'Lielly Not that he shouldn't be called out for it, but he is what he is.
3. Glenn Grothman is not the first Republican to tell the truth about Voter ID and other schemes, and I'm sure he won;t be the laast. PA: "Voter ID, delivering the state to Governor Romney." NC: "I believe it's better for the United States if Republicans win elections, so I drew the make to make it better for the United States." Both of those are lightly paraphrased, but yes, they really said that. Are real people not hearing these things? Do they not "get it" that these actions are unConstitutional? Or – God help us – do they not care?
4. Janet Allon, who did this writeup for AlterNet, and I guess does all of them, from the style, is so good at writing it up for maximum humor that it really cannot be improved on. I could, of course, foam at the mouth.
5. If Glenn Beck tries that line when he comes to judgment, he is certainly going to hear in no uncertain terms that he blew it, just, oh my gosh, what he doesn't want.
Miss Jennings ROCKS! Loved her dissing the gov'ner.
Trump: LOL
Cruz is a sneaky snake. imo. Like your definition of Beck, AniMae.
Thanks, Tom.
Ri-iiight! Ted Cruz has been chosen by God to lead us out of the darkness and into a place that's totally black. Okay, got it.
The barf bag alert was really needed for this one. Rick Scott has shown his true character before, but this hits a new low. Surely the people of Florida won't elect him again. OReilly just has peopleon his show to give himself an excuse to talk. I doubt he listens to anyone. I don't understand why any Black person or Democrat would even go on his show. The Republican from Wisconsin was so proud of the accomplishment of denying people the right to vote that he had to brag about it. Donald Trump never really knows for certain what he is going to say, he wings it. Yet, so many Republicans love him. O'Reilly, to the contrary, the man is a racist. Glenn Beck is my all time favorite nut job. I do believe he has topped himself by comparing Cruz to Moses.
When isn't the right wing unhinged?!
Jennings is correct . . . Scott is an asshole. He has no redeeming qualities!
O'Lielly . . . another asshole! And, he too has no redeeming qualities!
I saw a clip of Grothman doing his Republican speak the other day. Another asshole! . . . and not too bright either.
The Trumpster is in the dumpster spewing garbage as usual! Another asshole!
Beck seems to be putting Cruz on a white horse a la Romney, but like Romney, he can't get his feet in the stirrups. Another asshole!
Where do Republicans find these idiots?
Excuse me, why are we even bothering to decipher what this nut case is trying to say? Oh, right. It's election time…no sorry, primary time and then it's a great American tradition to put a couple of fools on stage who try to say something funny. A bit like the Dutch and German tradition of carnival fools allowed to say whatever they like between 11/11 and the end of carnival. So for a limited time only, is it?
