Glenn Beck resolves to fire anyone who mentions Obama in 2013 - Polidicks

[img]http://i.imgur.com/FrMTC.jpg[/img] [quote]Conservative radio host Glenn Beck returned from his 18-day holiday break on Wednesday with a New Year’s resolution to terminate any of his employees who utter President Barack Obama’s name in 2013. “This is in effect,” Beck warned his staff. “Anyone who brings him up — unless it’s me — is fired… I can’t take the man’s voice, I don’t want to hear him, I don’t want to know about him. You want that information, go anyplace else. There’s thousands of outlets. You can have all the information you want, I’m not talking about that man.” The radio host explained that calling the president “that man” or simply referring to him as “O” was a matter of putting “safety first.” “Don’t speak his name!” he continued. “And I’m also going to go with what my mother used to say: if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all. So, there you go. I’ve said everything I have to say about that man.” “Consider that man’s voice and name a swear word.”[/quote] [url]http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/01/02/beck-resolves-to-fire-anyone-who-mentions-obama-in-2013/[/url] Video of it in source.

Sounds like an asshat.

itty bitty babby is hella mad. Seriously though, he's acting like a big spoiled child.

Watch him break it within a week. [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Didn't read" - Starpluck))[/highlight]

he looks like an angry guinea pig

[QUOTE=Riller;39073087]Watch him break it within a week.[/QUOTE] He's exempting himself from it.

[QUOTE=Riller;39073087]Watch him break it within a week.[/QUOTE] He can't because he gave himself immunity from the rule. Basically he can fire people for saying anything about the president, using his audio, or speaking his last name, but he himself can't be sacked.

Someone should give him a talking birthday card with Obama's voice.

This is just fucking immature.

[sub][sub]Obama[/sub][/sub]

I hope you guys realize he's doing this for attention, this kind of asshattery gives him exactly that.

What if people just say Barack, or even The President?

Thanks he who must not be named [IMG]http://www.theschoolphilly.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/voldy.jpg[/IMG]

Glenn Beck hosts his radio show in New York City. New York State has employee protection programs designed to prevent employees from being fired for their political beliefs.

is this legal..? [editline]2nd January 2013[/editline] shit. Right above me

Everyone in his employ should do nothing but say Obama for an entire day. I bet my left nut (my favorite one) that nothing would happen.

Er, why is this man given airtime? He seems somewhat mentally unstable.

Okay Facepunch, here's what we do. Find his office. Get massive-ass Obongo signs. Place said Obongo signs outside his office. Enjoy the show.

Glenn Beck fights against Obama's insidious plot to create dictatorship and censorship by all powerful Comrade Chairman Obama by fighting fire with fire. Glenn Beck should be grateful for Obama, I don't think he would have as great of employment opportunity or wingnuts giving a shit about him if there was a Republican in office.

[QUOTE=Marcolade;39073178]This is just fucking immature.[/QUOTE] It's more than immature. He's fucking up peoples lives for saying "Obama" [QUOTE=Matriax;39073523]Er, why is this man given airtime? He seems somewhat mentally unstable.[/QUOTE] It's his own radio show, any nutjob can host their own radio show. But you're right, he's a man who has serious mental issues, beyond his stupid right wing ideology.

This is the same dude who has a super-boner for the constitution yet he won't even give employees the freedom to say the name of our president.

he looks like guy fieri

[QUOTE=JCDentonUNATCO;39074187]This is the same dude who has a super-boner for the constitution yet he won't even give employees the freedom to say the name of our president.[/QUOTE] as of late it seems pretty much every company who's thrown a fit about being able to exercise their religious beliefs has been a blatant argument to oppress the freedoms of their employees when it comes to contraceptives and the like, I'm sure he'll throw a fit about how he's exercising his freedom of speech in some twisted way

[QUOTE]Anyone who brings him up — unless it’s me — is fired[/QUOTE] What a cunt.

he's a classic cock.
