Ohhhhh Brother No. 18: Glenn Beck SCREAMED?

The brief "buzz" says Glenn Beck is an emotional guy. Gee, what a surprise. I've seen his TV show many times; emotional is an adequate description. But according to a piece in Yahoo! Buzz, Mr. Beck, on his radio show, earlier this week, had a very heated exchange with a caller from Massachusetts concerning universal health care, in which he ended up screaming at the caller.

Is that it? He lost his cool with a caller? Ohhhhh Brother!

The leftist organization Media Matters has a video featuring the audio bit, something noted by the writer at Yahoo! Buzz. After listening to the audio bit, all I can say is Mr. Beck had a good reason to lose his cool. The caller in question used distorted information about health care in France in order to prove a point, and then lobbed an unfair accusation at Mr. Beck about another matter.

As for the health care in France, the caller claims a person can sign a paper and get health care; the doctors don't even need to sign insurance forms. Interesting, but what about the French? Do they get this same kind of service? In their own country? A socialist country like France? I wouldn't bet money on it.

Cuba is also heralded by leftists as having the best health care in the world, but what about the Cubans? Do they get to enjoy this "utopian" health care in their own country? By all accounts, no. Food for thought.

As for the "screamfest" that took place on Glenn Beck's radio show, it's more than just an Ohhhhh Brother! moment, it's also a So what? moment. Nothing more needs to be said about it.

Keep giving 'em hell, Mr. Beck.
