The Political Time-Out Chair - Glenn Beck, Nothing About Him Really Matters

Glenn Beck by his own words doesn't matter... if you speak lies and half-truths, distort reality and exaggerate truth to pander your ideologies and self-importance and then say that your lies don't matter, regardless of the substance of the lies, you are inferring that what you say doesn't matter.

And for the first time, Glenn Beck has spoken an underlying truth about himself... what he says, doesn't matter.

It can have a kernel of truth or a wealth of truth, but when it is exaggerated by lies, self-important rhetoric, distortion of personal, historic and religious truth... it no longer matters. Once you break the bond of truth between yourself and your peers, your audience, or your faith, saying it doesn't matter is not an acceptable response.

If you care, it matters... if you don't care, then of course, it doesn't matter.

If you are in a relationship and your partner lies... about anything, large or small, significant or insignificant, it very clearly says they don't care about being honest with you. They do not value honesty in life or relationships. What kind of relationship can sustain such a flippant attitude about the most integral bond of being important to each other... the truth!

• about what he says
• about how truculent his rhetoric has become
• about the ideology that maybe once propelled him onto the stage of politics
• about the belligerence of his attacks on people who do not worship him
• about the faith he purports to promote himself with
• about the people he brainwashes with his cynicism and hate-mongering
• about the facts and truth about individuals he has deemed the enemy
• about the fear and loathing that he spews
• about the anger and hate he foments
• about the sheer will to betray and denigrate those who would listen
• about the intolerance and ferociousness he has unleashed
• about the careless abuse of his personna
• about the greed and fame that instigates and encourages the egotism
• about the political shill that he has become

If the white lie, or horrid, fiendish black lie sneaks into every ideological monologue, every dictate, every narrative, every heavy-handed parable, every whisper, every bombastic tirade, every monotonous lecture then we are not listening to an honest and honorable man.

After reading about narcissistic, pathological liars, with histrionic personality disorders, I almost feel compelled to cut Glenn Beck a bit of a break and sincerely hope the people who care about him will help him get help. That wouldn't be Mr. Murdoch who knowingly advanced the career of a man obsessed with greed, power, self-importance, self-destructive egotism, and a grandiose self-image.

Congratulations Mr. Murdock, you have created a media-Frankenstein and unleashed him on an unsuspecting, frustrated and angry mob looking for a guardian of honesty and truth.

Mr. Beck, betrayal is an angry force to control... when you are finally confronted with your own self-destruction and you turn to the angry mob you have betrayed... will you care then about the lies?

I find that kind of repentance out of character, my guess is that you will take your millions and bask in your self-indulgence and self-importance until you really hear The Voice of your Maker.

Advice, save the white lies, He will see right through them!

The following comments reflect a pathological liar who has the characteristics of histrionic personality disorder .

1. Exaggerates things that are ridiculous.

2. One-upping. You will never top them in their own mind, because they need to be better than everyone else. This also applies to being right.

3. They "construct" a reality around themselves. They don't value the truth. If you call them on a lie they act like, "Well, what's the difference? You're making a big deal out of nothing!"

4. Because these people don't value honesty, a lot of times they will not value loyalty.

5. They may be a hypochondriac. When caught in a lie, they can claim that they have been sick, or that there's some mysteriously "illness" that has them all stressed out.

6. They will contradict what they say. This will become very clear over time. They usually aren't smart enough to keep track of so many lies (who would be?).

Another WikiAnswers Contributor adds:

• They lie about even the smallest things.
• They add exaggerations to every sentence.
• They change their story all the time.
• They act very defensively when you question their statements.
• They believe what they say is true, when everyone else knows it isn't.

An alternate 'checklist':

• Lies when it is very easy to tell the truth.
• Lies to get sympathy, to look better, to save their butt, etc.
• Fools people at first but once they get to know him, no one believes anything they ever say.
• May have a personality disorder.
• Extremely manipulative.
• Has been caught in lies repeatedly.
• Never fesses up to the lies.
• Is a legend in their own mind.

From Andrea Broadbent "The Truth about Truman": Some main qualities linked with pathological liars include dysfunctional family origin, family lying patterns, anomalies of sexual life, frequent substance abuse, and a great capacity for language.

Excuse us, Glenn, but didn't you bellow this once?:

'‘Tell the truth! America is crying out for the truth!’'

His fans don't understand that this unctuously duplicitous huckster sees the "truth" as a fungible commodity to be revealed or hidden whenever it suits Beck's ambition.
