...? I mean, what the fuck can you even say to that kind of insanity? This guy makes Rush Limbaugh sound like a fuzzy cuddle bunny.
Here's some examples of Beck's opinions:
- On antiwar protestor Cindy Sheehan: "That's a pretty big prostitute."
- Also on Cindy Sheehan: She is "pimping out the tragedy of her own son's death for her own agenda."
- On former President Jimmy Carter: "Is there a bigger waste of skin than Jimmy Carter?"
- On a Nigerian public information campaign to fight bird flu: "They've actually resorted to radio jingles. ... Are we as dumb as Nigeria?"
- To the 7-year old African-American author of a controversial poem: "You want to go to Africa? I will personally purchase your airfare."
- On immigration protests: Mexico "is a country that has been overtaken by lawbreakers from the bottom to the top. And now, what you're protesting for is to have lawbreakers come here."
- Responding to criticism of his remarks on immigration protests: "[I] pretty much stand by" the assertion that "Mexico is run by nothing but criminals."
- On American Indians in South Dakota considering skirting a state ban on abortion: They "will have found something that can be more profitable than casinos, and that's abortion clinics."
- Suggesting "politically correct" names for bunker-buster nuclear weapons: "[B]utterfly bomb," "climate-control device," "[b]omb de tropical. ... We could use that one in Venezuela."
- On immigrants entering illegally from Mexico: Either "they're terrorists," "they're escaping the law," or "[t]hey can't make a living in their own dirtbag country."
