Glenn Beck Can't Spell

Beck's "questions" about Obama spell "OLIGARH"

The Fox News audience doesn't grasp multiple sentences unless presented in a 2nd grade form.
Random words put together to create a backronym let them think "Hey! Maybe this means something! I'll consult my astrology book!"

Oligarchy: a form of government in which power effectively rests with a small elite segment of society distinguished by royal, wealth, intellectual, family, military or religious hegemony.

Sounds like Bush

Also gotta love the "I don't know if we're turning into an 'oligarhy' or what we're turning into, but unless you ask 'why', we're gonna transform into something."

Pretty much summarizes all those right wing commentators. "I don't know wtf I'm talking about, but all this talk of a vague threat will surely enrage my audience (aka gun-toting rednecks). thumbsup"

"ACORN selects... TIDES"
What the hell does that even mean?

"They all select their words first, then tie them all together into one word."
What the hell does that mean?!

"I don't know if we're turning into an oligarchy or what we're turning into"
Then why the hell did you attempt to spell the word oligarchy?!

Beck Translation: "I had to explain to the Fox News audience why the first letters from random words mean something together."

"They all select their words first, then tie them all together into one word."
What the hell does that mean?!
Beck Translation: "If I do it too, I'll cancel them out!."

"I don't know if we're turning into an oligarchy or what we're turning into"
Then why the hell did you attempt to spell the word oligarchy?!
Beck Translation: "My motto in my TV career is to always tell people what I think, but when I'm too extreme, I'll follow that with a huge caveat. For example: I believe Obama is a racist, with a deep seated hatred for white people. But I'm not saying he doesn't like white people!."

I heard "tithes". As in a religious tax. It doesn't connect to anything else he said, but there's no rule that Glenn Beck has to be coherent.
edit: Alternatively he meant to say "titles" but was having too much of a paranoid nervous breakdown to pronounce it correctly.

"They all select their words first, then tie them all together into one word."

I think he means that organizations decide what word they want their acronym to spell out, then try to find a sequence of words that will spell the acronym out. (Usually they manage to spell the word correctly).

"I don't know if we're turning into an oligarchy or what we're turning into"
Then why the hell did you attempt to spell the word oligarchy?!


Because he's on fox news and therefor he's contractually obligated to be an intellectually dishonest git.

It's such a perfect touch to the joke that his whole point is that the letter "y" sounds the same in English as the word "why," and therefore we should ask Obama "why."

Arguments are supposed to be based on logic, not on linguistic coincidences!

Sounds like the Kennedy's too, along with 90% of the US political culture. Actually more so the Kennedy's since there's a larger extended family and they didn't get their money in a super legit way.
