Nutty Glenn Beck Vows To Single-Handedly Destroy ‘Glee’

[PoliticalTiger]

Glenn Beck is hoping to single-handedly orchestrate his own “day the music died” by stamping out the diverse singing circle from “Glee.”

Speaking at the Faith & Freedom Coalition conference in Washington Friday, Beck ignored the chalkboard that had been rolled out on stage to assist him, and instead focused on prime-time television.

“A year ago I was watching the show ‘Glee’ with my wife and we watched it like this,” Beck said making the motion of his jaw dropping. “It’s horrifying some of the things that they’re teaching high schoolers. But it’s brilliantly done. It’s brilliantly done.”
....
But it didn’t take long for Beck to snap out of his funk and start devising a way to defeat “Glee.” Beck’s secret weapon: what he jokingly calls “the Oedipus Project” (“because the left will be making out with me,” he explained to BuzzFeed this week). Essentially, the plan is to produce a conservative alternative to “Glee” that is covert enough in its conservatism to not turn people away.

I'm assuming only straight, white Christians need apply for roles on Beck's "conservative alternative" to Glee which I'm sure will be a big hit....

Sure, their ratings are (I think) going down, no show lasts forever and perhaps "Glee" has run its course so Glenn jumps on his bandwagon in time to claim victory when it is cancelled.

The show was fun for a season or two but it's gone way downhill. I stopped watching it a while ago. I think you're exactly right about him trying to claim a victory when the show inevitably goes off the air.

I guess he could define success by taking them off the air and relegating them to an obscure AM talk radio show that only a small fringe pay attention to. Oh wait, that's what happened to Glenn Beck's show.

I thought he still had a tv show on something called "ARPANET". At least that is what I think they call it in his decade.

Well Glee is awful television. Of course, I'm guessing he and I think it's awful for two very different reasons.

BOOOOOOO, DI! I love it, and will be the last gleek watching.

He could name his "Glum".

What does Glennie find to be so jaw dropping?

Beck. He had a show on FOX News up until last year. A real asshole.

"...is covert enough in its conservatism to not turn people away."

The pilot episode will feature the show's main character, young Kitt Pomney, tackling and cutting the hair of a "suspicious" fellow student at William Howard Taft High.
