Glenn Beck suffered a sudden attack of appendicitis Wednesday and was taken to an undisclosed hospital to have his appendix removed.
Beck left his radio show Wednesday complaining that he was not feeling well. Mercury Radio president Christopher Balfe confirmed to radio blog NTS
Media that Beck was having his appendix removed at an undisclosed hospital. Balfe also joked that "before going under Glenn asked the doctor to draw
out the surgery procedure on a blackboard."
Judge Andrew Napolitano guest-hosted Beck's 5PM show on Fox News in his absence, adding that he is expected to make a full recovery and return
soon.

I've got my fingers, toes and testicles crossed, this might be the moment his mormon God decides it's time for Beck to go, back home, to his maker.
This nation, hell, perhaps even the world will be better off without a cat who is attempting to ignite race wars across the country. And I'm
completedly serious; if he does die on the table, this country will have a brighter future. If he lives, he is determined to continue his work to
rally angry White people to riot, attack, assault Black Americans. Which is what he's doing, at least in the eyes of millions of Americans.
So yeah, I wish death upon no man, and could kill no man but in self-defense, but I do hope and pray, in order to make this a safer place for . . .
people of color, this SOB is called home to his maker.

In a calmer moment, I definitely do NOT wish death on Glenn Beck or any ideological opposite -- for four reasons:
1. Such a wish discredits my own credibility and ideology.
2. The karma would come back on me three-fold.
3. If he dies, he becomes a martyr.
4. Most importantly, liberals are much better off if Beck continues to do exactly what Beck does, as loudly as he can. The more he and Limbaugh and
Hannity and Levin talk, the more they marginalize the GOP among the Great American Middle. That's what helped Democrat Bill Owens win in NY 23. God
and Goddess bless and keep 'em!

you're being way too practical and logical Boone, let's be over-run with emotion, and consider the down-the-road ramifications after this bastard is
long gone. The devil I don't know . . . may be better then the devil I do know.

Please.
A liberal would hope for the government to do it for him. a conservative would do it himself.
all seriousness aside, Beck is the functional reincarnation of MORTON Downy Jr., in that Journalism is dead.

OK Mr. Word, this racist, sexist bastard does not have to die, let's just say he can't talk anymore . . . has to use a chalkboard to communicate . . .
.
Hey Word, what's wrong with wanting Strom Thurmond to die? Or Say Jesse Helms ? I did not cry a tear when Reagan died, and I was chastised by
Conservatives for offering the other perspective of Ronald "666" Ray-Gun . . . . Do I have to cry for men who made careers supporting positions like
Apartheid in S. Africa?
Reagan maintained Dr. King was a commie-pink-bastard . . . you want me to put him on some pedestal?
This, right here is where this nation begins to split - Beck can say what he says, clearly fan the flames of White anger . . . and you want me to wish
for him a speedy recovery.
One mans freedom fighter . . . Glen Beck - is my idea of a terrorist, masked as a "Patriot." How complicated is that? If this man had his way, this
nation would repeal every meaningful legislation passed, from the New Deal to LBJ's Great Society and MLK's Civil Rights Advancement.
Mr Word . . . you tell me - is there not an element of the Right, The TeaBaggers who would want the NO Colored Signs re-hung? The NO Dogs/No Mexicans
signs tacked back up all across the Southwest.
Redneck Law would Reign . . . NO?
But you want me to be what . . . indifferent? Impartial . . . gimmie a flippin break man.
Half this nation is wishing Obama death - No? Angry White men are speaking ill of his little girls . . . and in America Mr Word, angry White men have
proven they kill innocent little Black girls . . . and a jury of THEIR PEERS will let them walk.
You're asking quit a bit asking a Black man to be civil when it comes to a Savages like Mike Savage, Rush, Beck, men who want blood in the streets of
America, my child’s blood.

My fellow Missourian Samuel "Mark Twain" Clemens died in 1910, but he truly understood Limbaugh and Beck long before their time:
* "Never wrestle with a pig. You get yourself all messy, and besides, the pig likes it."
* "Sir, I have been through it from Alpha to Omaha, and I tell you that the less a man knows the bigger the noise he makes and the higher the salary
he commands."

Desi you can feel how you want to feel and I have no issue with you supporting your issues. If you feel that the the whole Republican party is racist
then fine you have a right to your opinion. I have an issue with you and other liberals hoping that he (Beck) dies. That is horrible- don't listen,
don't support him, write whatever you want about him but don't wish death upon him.
One thing that really bothers me about the political and society's growing schism between the left and the right in America. We have our difference
but we are also in this together. These are some tough times that we are in- the economy sucks, Jobless rate keeps rising we are fighting a war, why
do we have to create more strife by bickering among ourselves?

Mr Word . . .
I too grow concerned over the lines in the sand being drawn, but I can't help but feel like, because of Obama, this nation is percieved by the Rught
as now being on the path to socialism, communism . . . destruction.
I don't know why Beck's slice of the American Pie want's to leave the union, disband the United States because their nightmare is coming true; a Balck
man, and not Judge Clarence Thomas - is President and the world is coming to an end

I agree -- and the other side must stop it too -- and disvow the violence as well as the racism. I was up in Chicago a couple weeks ago when a
suburban gun shop made the news for selling a bumper sticker that said "PULL THE (photo of the place you put your finger to fire a gun) ON THAT (photo
of Obama)." There's a sick rhyme in that anagram. Get it?

But Boone, that type of sentiment appears to be wide-spread throughout so much of "White America," I mean honestly, you're not seeing that form of
hostility and paranoia from anyone BUT White folks. And we are but one year in . . . Boone, where will we be in year 3, 2011? Its hard to believe
this type of mentality will decrease as time goes on.
And, what's scary, Obama can't do anything right in the eye's of the Right. It is, for me, as a Black man in my late 40's, my first taste of Blind
Hate, where it seems clear there's no analytical evaluation of what this President is doing, it's just - Blind Hate . . . .
I can hear my father telling me "see, I tried to tell you . . ." in the minds of most, not all, but most White folks, enough folks that it matters,
let me repeat that, enough folks that it matters - the feeling is - The only good niggger is a dead niggger.
Boone, it's hard to not believe that horrific thought is dominant in vast sections of this nation. And Beck/Rush/Hannity are well aware their family,
friends and neighbors have a strong "dislike" of Blacks, Latinos, Asians, Liberal Pinko Commies like yourself Boone - they simply hate most of the
world - and history says this nation harbors few qualms about genocide, mass interment, putting folks on reservations, police brutality . . . .

For the record, Glenn Beck EXPRESSLY WARNS his listeners to never engage "the enemy" with violence or ugly name calling...
NO fist fights, NO "N"-words, and for the love of gawd, NO swastikas!!!
Your weapons are FACTS, your right as a citizen to peacefully assemble with your fellow citizens, and most importantly, I CAN NOT express this last
point enough, your SACRED right to vote...
Otherwise "they" win... And "the project" will not succeed...
Haven't heard of "the project"??? Of course I am talking about Glenn Beck's "The 912 Project"...
You people really need to get yourself a good AM radio and LISTEN to it!!! Daily... What else are you going to do AFTER YOU LOSE YOUR JOB??? You might
just learn something important... Something you did not know, or had never even thought of before...
And truly I say unto you, there is nothing worse than a reformed drunk* on a mission... (*Not me, Glenn Beck... But if this white man's Kwanza spiel
works out for him, I might start hitting the bottle...)
Homework for Desi... Which of "the 9 Principles" and "the 12 Values" below do you disagree with and why??? Can you (or anyone here) find any examples
at "The 912 Project's" website that support Desi's charges of racism???
========================================
Glenn Beck: "The 912 Project"
Click here for original article at: the912project.com
"We The People - Demand Answers"
Mission Statement
Click here for original article at:
the912project.com
This Web site is a place for you and other like-minded Americans looking for direction in taking back the control of our country. It is also a place
to find information that will assist you in navigating the rough waters we face in the days, weeks and months ahead.
We suggest that you start in your own homes. Talk to your family about the Values and Principles. Discuss the importance of what the Founders designed
for America.
Hold or attend a weekly meeting in your neighborhood or town. Communication with your neighbors is vital to the process of protecting our country.
Gather in living rooms, coffee houses or restaurants. Share your thoughts and ideas.
Visit this Web site often. Make use of the resources that are linked here. Share the ideas and resources that have worked in your home or town.
This is a non-political movement. The 9-12 Project is designed to bring us all back to the place we were on September 12, 2001. The day after America
was attacked we were not obsessed with Red States, Blue States or political parties. We were united as Americans, standing together to protect the
greatest nation ever created.
That same feeling – that commitment to country is what we are hoping to foster with this idea. We want to get everyone thinking like it is September
12th, 2001 again.
Ask yourself these questions:
* Do you watch the direction that America is being taken in and feel powerless to stop it?
* Do you believe that your voice isn’t loud enough to be heard above the noise anymore?
* Do you read the headlines everyday and feel an empty pit in your stomach… as if you’re completely alone?
If you’ve answered YES, then you’ve fallen for the Wizard of Oz lie. While the voices you hear in the distance may sound intimidating, as if they
surround us from all sides—the reality is very different. Once you pull back the curtain, you realize that there are only a few people pressing the
buttons, and their voices are weak. The truth is that they don’t surround us at all.
We surround them.
At the origin of America, our Founding Fathers built this country on 28 powerful principles. These principles were culled from all over the world and
from centuries of great thinkers. We have distilled the original 28 down to the 9 basic principles.
So, how do we show America what’s really behind the curtain? Read The 9 Principles . If you believe in at least seven of them, then we have something
in common.
Welcome.
==========================================
9 Principles, 12 Values
Click here for original article at: the912project.com
The 9 Principles
1. America Is Good.
2. I believe in God and He is the Center of my Life.
God “The propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right which Heaven itself has
ordained.” from George Washington’s first Inaugural address.
3. I must always try to be a more honest person than I was yesterday.
Honesty “I hope that I shall always possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider to be the most enviable of all titles, the
character of an honest man.” George Washington
4. The family is sacred. My spouse and I are the ultimate authority, not the government.
Marriage/Family “It is in the love of one’s family only that heartfelt happiness is known. By a law of our nature, we cannot be happy without the
endearing connections of a family.” Thomas Jefferson
5. If you break the law you pay the penalty. Justice is blind and no one is above it.
Justice “I deem one of the essential principles of our government… equal and exact justice to all men of whatever state or persuasion, religious or
political.” Thomas Jefferson
6. I have a right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, but there is no guarantee of equal results.
Life, Liberty, & The Pursuit of Happiness “Everyone has a natural right to choose that vocation in life which he thinks most likely to give him
comfortable subsistence.” Thomas Jefferson
7. I work hard for what I have and I will share it with who I want to. Government cannot force me to be charitable.
Charity “It is not everyone who asketh that deserveth charity; all however, are worth of the inquiry or the deserving may suffer.” George
Washington
8. It is not un-American for me to disagree with authority or to share my personal opinion.
On your right to disagree “In a free and republican government, you cannot restrain the voice of the multitude; every man will speak as he thinks, or
more properly without thinking.” George Washington
9. The government works for me. I do not answer to them, they answer to me.
Who works for whom? “I consider the people who constitute a society or a nation as the source of all authority in that nation.” Thomas Jefferson
The 12 Values
* Honesty
* Reverence
* Hope
* Thrift
* Humility
* Charity
* Sincerity
* Moderation
* Hard Work
* Courage
* Personal Responsibility
* Gratitude

08/10/06 Radio show: "There are good Muslims and bad Muslims. We need to be the first ones in the recruitment office lining up to shoot the bad
Muslims in the head.' I'm telling you, with God as my witness ...
09/05/06: "The Muslims will see the West through razor wire if things don't change."
04/09 Television: "Either the economy becomes like the walking dead, or you drive a stake through the heart of the bloodsuckers.” This said with a
backdrop picture of many people, including President Obama, with fangs for teeth.
01/06 radio show: BECK: "Hang on, let me just tell you what I'm thinking. I'm thinking about killing Michael Moore, and I'm wondering if I could kill
him myself, or if I would need to hire somebody to do it. No, I think I could. I think he could be looking me in the eye, you know, and I could just
be choking the life out -- is this wrong?"
08/08: Glenn Beck joked about adding poison to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's glass of wine on his show on Thursday afternoon.
Glenn Beck 2001: "I want to kill Rep. Charlie Rangel with a shovel"
Not sure how to reconcile those espousals with his 9-12 BS.

I can, Glad, because I'm old enough to have seen how they've been applied in the past. The problem is not with the principles, but with how the Becks
and their fellow travelers apply them.
| Quote: | | 1.
America Is Good. |
I love my children. But my children were not always "good." When they weren't, it was my responsibility as a parent to correct and to discipline them.
When I did that, I was not upbraided for "hating" my children; I was accurately said to be acting out of love.
I love my country too, but my country isn't always good either. It's the best country on the planet. But it's been guilty of a near-genocidal military
campaign against the Indians, slavery, interning Japanese-Americans in the '40s, nearly 200 years of separate-and-unequal treatment of the races, wars
launched for private profit by presidents of both parties, torture and wiretapping and other crimes just as bad as what we accused the KGB of doing,
and a health-care system based on profit instead of health. My criticism of those actions, and my advocacy of corrective measures, are also done out
of love, but the perpetrators of those actions -- and their apologists such as Beck -- would call me an America-hater.
Yes, my childfren are basically good, and so is America. But it's up to me (and all of you) to help keep them and it good by calling out and
correcting mistakes as they occur -- without being branded a "hater" for doing so.
Citing what's wrong and working to fix what's wrong is an act of love, not hate. But "my country, right or wrong" is just as unrealistic and damaging
as a parent who backs his kid, right or wrong.
| Quote: | 2. I
believe in God and He is the Center of my Life.
“The propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right which Heaven itself has
ordained.” from George Washington’s first Inaugural address. |
George Washington's speech does not represent body of law in America, and neither do the Federalist Papers or the Bible -- or even the Declaration of
Independence, despite what Minority Leader John Boehner thinks. The Constitution does, and it contains no article stating that any supreme being must
be the center of citizens' life or the basis for American law. Beck's fellow travelers, however, apply this principle by steering the United States
toward becoming a fundamentalist theocracy based on very selective bits of Christianity.
| Quote: | | 3. I
must always try to be a more honest person than I was yesterday. |
Would that everybody practiced this. Would that Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton did. For the Beckers, though, this principle only applies to liberals.
Funny they didn't apply this to the Bush administration's lies about WMDs in Iraq, the tea-baggers' lies about death panels and illegal aliens in the
health-care bill, insurance companies' lies that tort reform (a.k.a. malpractice forgiveness) will lower premiums, or radio megalith's lies that
consolidation would preserve diversity and quality on the airwaves.
| Quote: | | 4. The
family is sacred. My spouse and I are the ultimate authority, not the government. |
Oh, yeah, right: Only the type of "family" of which they approve. Not if you want to marry someone of the same sex -- or, in certain areas of the
conservative South, someone of a different race. And not if your wife and her doctor deem it painfully necessary to do something for her reproductive
health of which the Pom-Pious Pack of Proselytizing Pachyderm Prudes disapproves. And not if you are a gay couple who want to adopt. Then the Beckers
have no problem at all with Big Government barging in and overruling your sacred, ultimate authority.
Oh no, the definition of "family" is only what the Beckers decide it is, and they want that definition backed by governmental force.
| Quote: | | 5. If
you break the law you pay the penalty. Justice is blind and no one is above it. |
Unless you're a friend of or big donor to the president such as Scooter Libby ... or a Pentagon which disregards Geneva Convention rules of which the
U.S. is a signatory ... or unless you can afford lawyers that will get you off. It is 2009, and the disparity between incarceration of Caucasian and
minority inmates remains the shame of the world -- and I think you'll find that most white male Beckers like that just fine.
| Quote: | | 6. I
have a right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, but there is no guarantee of equal results. |
In other words, if I don't hire you or let you eat at my lunch counter or sell you a house in my neighborhood because you're black, it's not my fault.
You just failed in your pursuit of happiness. That's my excuse and I'm sticking with it. Hell, you probably DECIDED to be black!
This is also how the GOP establishment assauges any responsibility about the demise of the middle class being done largely at their hands.
| Quote: | | 7. I
work hard for what I have and I will share it with who I want to. Government cannot force me to be charitable. |
Translation: Don't want my money goin' to no culluds. ... What's that you say? If I don't give 'em assistance now, I'll be payin' more to incarcerate
'em later? Hell, I caint see that fur ahead! That's what makes me a Becker!
| Quote: | | 8. It
is not un-American for me to disagree with authority or to share my personal opinion. |
For the Beckers, this principle only applies during Democratic administations. Try to exercise this principle during a Republican administration and
you will be accused of America-hatred or even treason. (See No. 1 above, as well as the podcast of any Bob Newman show.)
| Quote: | | 9. The
government works for me. I do not answer to them, they answer to me. |
Only if I have enough money to buy influence -- as the Obama voters who gullibly expected "change" are now finding out.

So I take it Beck isn't dead. I guess God does not grant all request.

They say there's a heaven for those who will wait
Some say it's better but I say it ain't
I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints
the sinners are much more fun...
you know that only the good die young
thats what I said
I tell ya
only the good die young...
