Glenn Beck Really Went Off on a Tangent about Gloria Steinem
Boy, of all the Glenn Beck radio shows to miss, this is the one I really regret missing. Whenever I get my Glenn Beck email blasts and check the transcripts of conversations I missed I always feel like what a bummer it was that I missed it. This is one of those ones that I just wish I had heard it. Today he talked about Gloria Steinem’s dumbass, hippie, lippy, statement dissing on John McCain’s service to our country, along with having been a POW.
Good gosh, Gloria

GLENN: It is Monday and I have to tell you I’m about to lose my frickin’ mind here with some of the news that’s going on from Obama coming out and, “I’m a Christian, I pray to Jesus, I pray to Jesus, I pray to Jesus, look at me, praying to Jesus.” Why is this even an issue? And why is it that Barack Obama can say on one night during a — during the last debate that he believes Senator Clinton and a couple of days later they blame the Clintons for releasing the pictures. And yet nobody pays attention to it. Why is it that Barack Obama’s wife can come out and say leave corporate America? In some of the most hypocritical statements I think I’ve ever read and yet the press gives her a pass. Why is it that Gloria Steinem is not leading the news today? She’s leading it here. Gloria Steinem, in a speech for Hillary Clinton, “Women for Hillary.” How about people for Hillary! How about Americans for Hillary! Can we stop dividing ourselves? She belittled John McCain. Let me make this clear. I’m not a John McCain supporter but I tell you I’m coming this close to defending the guy I am clearly going to defend him on this one but I mean, as a candidate I can’t take it anymore. This is so unbelievably out of bounds. She talked about John McCain, how he had been put in a bamboo cage for five and a half years. The man can’t even comb his hair. His arms were ripped out of the sockets so many times, he can’t lift his arms up past his shoulders and she belittles it. “This is supposed to be a qualification for President of the United States? I don’t think so.” Really? You don’t think so? That doesn’t tell you anything about a man’s character at all. Will you put your life at stake for your country? Will you crack under pressure? Are you a man of courage? Yeah, I think having my arms pulled out of the sockets over and over and over again while I live in a bamboo cage for five and a half years, I think that says a lot about somebody. Now, what you do with the rest of your life, I’ve told you, if I’ve told you once, I’ve told you a thousand times I don’t care what happened during the Vietnam War. It’s over. It’s ancient history. But a guy who’s been kept in a bamboo cage, you’re going to take that on and you’re going to belittle that and you’re going to say it makes no difference in forming a man’s character? I got news for ya. It forms a man’s character. It changes a man’s life. Quite honestly, I mean, I’ve mentioned this before. I’m concerned about John McCain’s temper. Well, where do you think his temper came from? Oh, I don’t know. Probably from having his arms ripped out from his sockets while living in a bamboo cage for five and a half years! Then she goes off on this antimilitary rant. I can’t take these people anymore. She actually starts in: First of all, suppose that John McCain would have been Joan McCain and Joan McCain had been captured, shot down and was a P.O.W. for eight years living in a bamboo cage. Reporters would ask, what did you do wrong? What terrible things did you do while you were captive for eight years? [more here]
I have to agree wholly with Glenn Beck on everything he said. I have said that I will be neutral on the John McCain front. So my posting this is not in support of John McCain. I believe it is wrong to discredit any vet, who served his country well. Regardless if whether or not you agree with his political views.
As a single woman myself, I am ticked off at feminists like the flat chested, flat hipped, underweight Gloria Steinem. She makes the rest of us politically minded chicks look bad. I am not into sunshine and roses family values, but neither am I a feminist. Did anyone see the picture of her? She is supposed to be 72. My grandmother is 10 years older than her. Ms. Steinem looks 10 years older than my grandma.
