According to him, he might be going blind, within a year.

I would say at least 10 people I know have been diagnosed with the same thing, some going on 10 years or so, Stephen King was diagnosed years ago. None have gone blind yet, and it isn't an all encompassing blindness, more of a shrinking of the field of vision. Tunnel vision to match his thinking. It is very common, like cataracts. It is possible he has a very serious case of it, but we'll see, maybe he won't, but we will.

I just can't stir up sympathy for the guy. I KNOW what it is like to lose your vision. Yes, I can still read but there may come a time when I can't. His tears are so fake it is unreal. I KNOW what real tears are about losing one's vision. I KNOW what it is like not even being able to go to the grocery store by myself because I can't drive anymore. If he has it or not and IF he is going blind, he is just using it for drama. I think it is an insult to us who ARE truly losing our vision.

So basically...Beck's crying crocodile tears!
I've known someone who got bleach in his eye and he told me that he was going to go blind...but he didn't!

Well, Rush Limbaugh is mostly deaf.
Now if only Rush and Glenn would go mute.

It's not that he's going blind. Heck, Homer and Ray Charles were blind! The problem is the guy puts a Weed Whacker into the addled brains of Joe Schmoe every afternoon at 5:00!
He picks out a few passages from each Founding Father that comport well with today's right-wing agenda. You want to talk about the Founding Fathers on national television? Great. It's about time. Then talk about the Founding Fathers. Your eyeball-twitching Joe McCarthy paranoia over the communist conspiracy behind "social justice" is a whole lot of tomfoolery. Leave that behind.
