Well, as of writing this, it seems to be this little charmer:
It's a religious nut-job of course...
That's what brain-washing looks like.
I'm keeping myself amused at the moment by refreshing the comments on that video and her account. It's a tide of well deserved bile and fury... coming in at like 25 comments a second at the moment!
Got this link from Twitter... always on the pulse.

Geez... I only popped in for a few seconds, and 43 more people sent comments!
When I saw one comment as to what the video is about, I decided not to bother listening to the nutjob -- as a regular churchgoer, I can't help being nauseated by that kind of hypocrisy. Whatever happened to compassion?

So her account has totally disappeared now, but some guy has re-uploaded all her videos. This is the one from yesterday: ...and here is the last video she then posted before deleting her account: Quite amazing actually.. she nailed the genuine feel of the nutjob... or is this a double-bluff?  |

Old Marmite face doesn't have that kind of hateful schadenfreude in him. I'm not sure the 'it was a joke' retraction makes it much better-earthquake, tsunami and nuclear meltdown- yeah, excellent opportunity for a spoof  |

Even as a joke, it was in extremely poor taste -- and unfortunately, we have people here (like Glenn Beck) who really do have the same sort of nutjob attitude the clip was lampooning. |

Is it correct that Fox are on the point of sacking Beck (or at least discontinuing his show)? Heard a rumour about this recently, not sure. The 'lectures' he's been giving lately (with blackboard and chalk) have been completely bonkers. It's easy to laugh at him (and until recently, I admit I have-a lot), but the knowledge that thousands of people take his misinformed/paranoid nonsense seriously is sobering.

The fake religious nut girl is slightly more impressive when you realise that she has been doing this for a year entirely undetected... just this time she went just one step too far and had to come clean.
Impressive acting... but stupid ultimately.

I thought I heard that his contract was to run out later this year, and that it might not be renewed. He's been hemorrhaging sponsors in the past couple of years (particularly in the wake of his assertion that the President "has a deep-seated hatred for white people"); and his ratings are down quite a bit, though he's still doing somewhat better than the competing networks in his time slot. So an outright sacking at this point seems unlikely. |

So an outright sacking at this point seems unlikely. A ha! But will the ratings decide this one? I looked up this story up on news sites (and wikipedia) and it seems that 'the man who says what the people who don't think, think' is now considered so out and out bonkers that Fox are worried that they are losing all credibility as a 'news service' (which in itself is quite funny). Apparantly, this charge came from the White House, so it seems Obama has dealt out retribution for the 'hates white people' rant. I watched O'Reilly this morning. I quite like him-strikes me as more showman than ideologue  Anyhoo, he was in conversation with Beck and asked him-rather sarcastically- what his thoughts were on 'what Japan could teach the world this week?' O'Reilly later said that if Beck didn't calm down, he'd 'pour water on him.' Beck was really rankled. Tee hee. Set-up, I think. My money's on Beck being on the way out. Maybe now God girl's gone, we could turn this 'most hated' thread into a Beck tribute? Or maybe not...... |

There's a site I like to check out called Media Matters For America ( mediamatters.org ) -- they specialize in pointing out blatant bias and misinformation in the news, including a lot of Beck's off-the-wall nonsense. |

He's gone then? Ironic Soros should do for him in the light of your media matters reference. Ha. Or maybe this means evil Jewish financiers really do secretly rule the world ;D (where have we heard that story before?  ) Beck's blackboard lectures always reminded me of Millhouse's 'reverse vampires' thesis-I'll miss him (NOT) |
