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 »

ALL the FOX News Staff are fricken CRAZY. Beck and Palin top the list, Hannity close behind..just incompetent nut jobs..
And yet they've made millions by publicly shouting stupid, often inaccurate things.
Only in America...
Glen Beck is STUPID.
Glenn Beck should be treated at this point for his mental illness. I feel for the guy with his mentally disabled kid and all, but Beck has become a very crazed man, and his thinking is no longer logical or lucid whatsoever.
I agree completely.
He really is off his rocker...
Glenn is an idiot. I can't wait for him to go to whatever afterlife he believes in and they deny him because of his arrogant and ignorant ways.
I'll never forget that Glenn Beck promised to lead souls to HELL ... if he gets the chance. He gave up on God when his family members (Mother and Step-brother) committed suicide. He will succeed with many of the little brain lost souls.
one little earthquake that people in california laugh at us for, and one hurricane that wasn't as big as hurricane Andrew, and everyone gets so freaked out. But I'm not surprised at Beck, people like him will use any excuse to dangle people on their string with fear.
Mr. Beck is not a prophet, well, maybe a false prophet. Now he is preaching some of the principles of his LDS Mormon church. Some of it is very good, but he is just an entertainment clown. He just bring shame to the LDS.
This guy is not a neo- con, perhaps a neo-con artist, but even being a con man takes brains so there goes that idea. I think people like him are neo-cult leaders, they have mixed politics and religion to create a hybrid cult. And in place of taking direct donations, they reap the rewards of book deals, negotiate giant salaried media contracts, licensing deals etc.. They gather followers like a cult leader does, except they use media as their pulpit, Thank you to the Pat Robertson generation of televangilists for paving the way, this guy just took their business model and upped the game. He's like some evil lab experiment that crossed the DNA of Robertson and Limabaugh.
False profits indeed
Beware false profits indeed.
Go to Hell
CNN stop doing Faux News' job by reporting on Glenn Beck. If his giving advice be afriad..it's bound to cost you something. The fear is free but the advice will cost you. What a tool he is!
And if I have no strict belief in a god and absolutely no belief in a religion??? Must just be a hurricane.
last post i need to read...exactly right
A warning? Yes. A Divine warning? No.
This jerk gives Christians a bad name...we're not all like this, I swear!!!!
Ignorant fool. Refusing to accept the simple things like global warming with money from US Oil Refiners being deposited in to his accounts. Atleast he could keep his blasphemy with him. US businesses are very powerful, greedy and not willing to accept change. We need to move away from carbon based fuel to reduce this catastrophy and study the opportunities to harvest the energy from entropy in case of hurricances. Lord Heaven, please bless wisdom on hate monger beck.
I feel like we're all in the Twilight Zone. How is it that nuts like Beck, Palin and Bachmann have a serious audience. Better re-read all that Bible stuff about the last times people...
Glen Beck is a blessing. Sent by God to remind Liberals and Progressives everywhere that we a are absolutely right and that we better vote or idiots like Beck will seize control of our nation.
Beck should be in a nut house
Glenn Beck is no more than "the messenger of hate" in the name of profit, be aware of those bearing "false witness".
Me thinks Glen watched "the road" to many times OR food insurance is paying him to convince us we need their kits. Its sad that hes hiding behind religion to profit.
God Please give us some jobs,so we can buy supply before irene arrive ,pay mortgages,pay taxes,and DD Batteries.
And please send jesus to talk to us not bek's
