[quote]SEATTLE - Conservative commentator Glenn Beck says he has been diagnosed with macular dystrophy, a progressive eye disorder that could cause him to go blind.
Speaking to an audience over the weekend, Beck, a Mount Vernon, Wash. native, talked about how he's been losing the ability to focus his eyes. He says he went to his doctor a couple of weeks ago.
"He did all kinds of tests and he said, 'you have macular dystrophy ...you could go blind in the next year. Or, you might not,'" said Beck.
Beck tearfully began talking about the things he looks at, like his wife and children, and that he loves to read, followed by joking about how he is too lazy to learn Braille.
Before making the announcement, the vocal opponent to Pres. Obama's health care reform set up his story saying "I went to the best doctor I could find, while I could still go to the best doctor I can find." The reported crowd of 6,000 in Salt Lake City laughed and applauded in approval.[/quote]
Glenn Beck is a remarkably stupid man. what about people who cant afford the "best" doctor when they have macular dystrophy? you never thought about that, did you?
Yay
He isn't blind already?

I wouldn't wish going blind on anyone.
If Beck goes blind, we too will go blind.
[i]Blind to the truth.[/i]
Hm, maybe after he goes blind those chalkboard drawings he makes will make more sense.

glenn beck is different.
I hope when he does go blind he doesn't get a penny in disability benefits.

For that comment alone I hope the treatment bankrupts him and he loses his gigantic house
Lots of Glenn Beck hate here. I don't agree with some of what he says, but damn.

I have respect for Glenn Beck. Sometimes.
Usually he's just a hypocrite, an asshole, a troll, and in my opinion more often than not a moron.
meh. It's not like it's going to stop him from his asinine ways.

The main problem I have with what he says is that it sounds way too much like a bunch of conspiracy theory bullshit. Where he would say liberals do what they do to destroy our way of life, I would say they do what they think is best the same way conservatives do, of course with the added self-interest of a politician. But that is universal.
Facepunch is full of sociopaths

Sociopath

I have a feeling he's going to use this as an excuse to complain about health care.

i have a feeling that you didn't read the op
ps:yeah your feeling was right
I hope he'll be OK, but I also hope he'd stop being a dick.
The guy is a massive tool, but going blind is something that you don't wish upon someone

I read every bit of it. What I mean is everyday on his little shows hes going to bitch "I NEED TO GO TO THE DOCTOR FOR X BEFORE OBAMA DOES X WITH THE HEALTH CARE!!!"
this would be a disgrace for blind people everywhere
I dont like someone, he should go blind
I think he's an idiotic asshole but he really doesn't deserve to go blind.
See? The animals are getting what they deserve.
I hate the guy but I actually hope he doesn't go blind.
