Glenn Beck: Hurricane Irene is a 'blessing'By Dan Gilgoff, CNN.com Religion Editor Conservative radio host Glenn Beck told listeners Friday that Hurricane Irene, the Category 1 storm that’s working its deadly way up the Eastern Seaboard, is “a blessing from God.” Beck has long urged his fans to stockpile food in their homes in anticipation of a global food disruption. He said Irene should be construed as a divine warning for those who have ignored that advice. Here’s Beck on his show Friday:
The Washington Post reports that in encouraging home stockpiling, Beck, a convert to Mormonism, is echoing Mormon church teaching. The church encourages members to build home storehouses of food that could last for at least three months. According to a website run by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the official name of the Mormon church:
The site includes a food storage calculator. To build a three-month supply of food for a family of four, the calculator recommends 300 pounds of “wheat, white rice, corn and other grains” and 60 pounds of “dry beans and other legumes.” The Post notes that food storage is one pillar of the Mormon emphasis on self-reliance. soundoff (3,354 Responses)« Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 Next »

Beck is mentally sick person, God cannot help him
If god did him him, the sad irony is he'd become progressive, because god likes compassion in people.
Please beck - back Parry for GOPdiot nominee.
Beck is a self-aggrandizing narcissist. Every time there's a catastrophe, there he is w/his 'sage advice'. We (means majority of human race) don't need it nor do we want it Beck. Go back to screaming hysterically, ranting and threatening callers to your radio show. It suits you.
A blessing right? Tell that to the damn tree that just fell through my roof....
Glenn Beck is an idiot. He causes mass hysteria and hate among people. How is that helping the situation? It's not. Yes, there is a hurricane and unfortunately it hit an area where alot of people live, but causing more panic in this situtation is not necessary. It's like the person that always says, "I told you so..." and we all know how that person is treated.... Karma makes it's rounds.
WOW - and for him - WOW is amazing.. he really wants Pat Robertsons "job"?
ohhhh yeahhh...this category 1 hurricane is the wrath of god for sure. come down to the gulf where we party with the category 5's. what a 'tard.
Glenn Beck is an idiot and an alarmist.
Glenn, I'm telling you the same thing I told Carville... SHUT THE F- UP!
Personally, I put god right up there with Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny...
Hopefully the freaks in New York can go back to their freakhole, New York City. They don't need to relocate and contaminate the rest of the US (excluding Floriduh!).
You know he's a loser when Faux News gets rid of him and keeps Palin.
God doesn't preach or teach hate. Anyone that listen to Mr Beck should think twice. God is to be loved, and feared. He is gracious and merciful. When our time comes you will know. No man can predict what God will and will not do for his children.
Glen Beck is a thoughtless and cruel moron–not mormon–moron.
Well times next he will say Hurricane Irene came because you did not listen to me and do as I said in the earlier blog of;
Glenn Beck hosts pro-Israel rally in Jerusalem
American conservative star Glenn Beck hosted a pro-Israel rally with overt Christian overtones in Jerusalem on Wednesday, calling on people around the world to stand with the Jewish state at time when it is facing mounting criticism.

So guess be prepared for that coming...
I'm not an extremely religious or spiritual person. That being said, I can totally respect any of Mr. Beck's beliefs – even if I don't believe them myself. They are his beliefs and I have no authority to say he is or isn't right.
The ONE thing that bothers me though is his calling of Irene a "blessing". There is no way that the God or Jesus that he subscribes to would ever call a natural disaster that kills people a blessing. Even if God caused the hurricane for reasons beyond our comprehension, I doubt he would be gleaming in it's effects – he would probably see it as a necessary evil to carry out his plans or wishes. Again – not something I believe personally, but I am appalled at his definition of a blessing. Shame on you Mr. Beck
It is certainly a shame that so many people can throw around all of this vitriol and hate but can absolutely not spell or use good English.
I would be the first to agree that Beck is a buffoon but a buffoon that has used the American dream to his advantage! The jerk is worth millions and has a following that could possibly be compared to the next antiChrist. Frankly, Mr. Shankly, he's a sickening mess and his views on the world simply scare me to death!!!!
Glenn Beck = Stupid White Man
I hope this douch alcoholic drug addict will die of a heart attack! Just saying..
Shara = plain old stupid
Shara.
People like that are not conditionally white...they could be of any race or mixed races...therefore I think you should refrain using colors since they are available in all colors and mixed colors...
Racist? no. The man is white, isn't he? Would I still be called racist if he was any other race? I am merely calling him like I see him and he is a idiotic white man. I'm not sorry if that offends anyone and if you're that touchy about race, perhaps you shouldn't read articles involving people who discuss race and politics among other things.
The authorities should let this guy speak on a beach along the Jersey shore during the hurricane.
Glenn Beck is a brine shrimp.
