Colbert Takes Glenn Beck Apart

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 9/11, Comedy, Partisan Hacks, Video

Looks like the Comedy Central boys are having fun using people’s words against them. And it couldn’t have happened to a more deserving guy than Beck.

Why?

Well, Beck is really taking advantage of 9/11 with his “9/12″ project and Colbert does what no journalist can.

Flawless victory.

It was the manila folder.

Tim Russert always had that folder with him, at every interview. While they smiled on the outside, many of Russert’s guests probably cringed on the inside, because they knew they were about to be handed their own words back to them.

I can’t wrap my head around the amount of sheer drudgery that goes into something like that. I know there are transcription services that you can subscribe to, but still: Somebody, probably several ’somebodies,” are watching all these shows, taking notes, transcribing when necessary, etc.

Stewart and Colbert are certainly carving a useful, informative niche for themselves.

I can honestly say I’ve never seen glen beck.

What, what a freakshow. Seriously, when I saw those clips I thought in my head “circus side show”.

In his own narcissism, Glen Beck fails to recognize that self-righteous pundits are a big part of what he fears; this country falling apart and failing to support one another. Guys like Beck, Rush Limbaugh, and Michael Moore spew this putrid glop from atop their pedestals and infect our country with partisanship. I love my country and I fear for those who set aside time to watch Glen Beck each night, that’s not news, it’s not advice. Find the information yourself, make your own opinion and be your own person…. don’t be Glen Beck
