Edit: No need for that! - ISD Suvetar

Glenn Beck is a highly popular radio/TV host who is on the forefront of discussion of relevant national and cultural issues.

Its the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

Feel free to browse the site, though I warn you, some strong positions are aired that would have the local ISD soiling their pink panties.

I think CCP might be glad they updated the NPE. It will be interesting to see if Eve gets a bump in new player interest.


Vile Rat even got a mention by an nbc site: http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/national-international/Christ-Stevens-US-Ambassador-to-Libya--169453016.html Third paragraph from the bottom.

Great that Eve gets free publicity...but in terms of Glenn Beck, that guy is the clown of the earth.

So I'm not actually sure this is a good thing, at least if any of his viewers who take him seriously join the game. They will simply blame all the bad stuff in Eve on:

A) the Jove
B) Muslims
C) Jews
D) George Soros

And the Jove are only in there because just like Muslims, Jews and George Soros that clown of the earth doesn't understand them LolLol

wouldn't consider that moron grown-up in any sense of the word. he's as much of a hate monger and zealot as any Islamic fundamentalist.

First we see an interview with the CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment on Themittani, then another article gets picked up by Glenn Beck. Straight

Except the little fact he has not organized simultanious attacks (and subsiquent murders) against two US embassys on the anniversary of 9/11 using the pretext of some obscure web flick, that was'nt even produced in arabic, as the front.

But lets not let the details get in the way of bashing someone with different ideologies in a situation like this huh?

What's confusing you about it? It's not like it's strange that Beck picked it up after it having been a constant source of media quotes pretty much ever since it was posted.

So need to be sickened — actual journalists picked it up as well.

Actually, like most other conservatives, Beck and his followers would not blame the Jews. Beck is extremely pro-Israel.

I noticed though that you failed to take issue with them being panties OR that they are soiled...

Yeah, I was kind of scratching my head over that one too. But then I remembered that some people will just say whatever pops into their head, usually based on things that they heard other equally uninformed people say.

^^ This. At least Beck has the good graces and talent to make up random stuff without having to rip off other people's ideas.

you miss the point completely. not all zealots are responsible for wholesale destruction of property or lives. however they all espouse intolerance and demean those that do not hold the same beliefs. that is beck in a nutshell.
