Did you get that link to Beck's radio program from there or did you actually get it from his web site? I ask that because I just can't believe that you listen to the radio show but someone could have put you onto the web site story. Go ahead and explain how you learned about it, just so I can get a good laugh.
We all know you are Beck's #1 fan roys, what do you feel about his outrageous accusation? Do you think it's correct?
The College of Cardinals selects the new pope--not the existing pope if he resigns or dies. The Pope appoints the Cardinals. Recent Popes have appointed increasingly conservative Cardinals, as has the existing Pope. Beck's comments don't even make sense (what a surprise THAT is ). Since the vast majority of Cardinals are already conservatives, why would they be more likely to vote for a "communist" (please) at any time--now OR after his death? What difference does the timing make? If he had waited it out until his death, he or one of his appointees would have still appointed new conservative Cardinals. If he was unable to do it because he was too ill, the pope can appoint someone he has HAND PICKED to take over duties like appointments.
Even FOX thought this guy was too dumb and crazy to keep--with good reason.

Hush now...logic has no place in Glen Beck's world.
When it comes to outright insanity, Glenn Beck is the king, and his latest tirade doesn't disappoint.
His latest pile of BS is claiming that the pope resigned on purpose so that a conservative pope can be nominated. Because if he didn't, a rumored black pope from Africa would be elected, whom would be a socialist and a marxist.
You just can't make this crap up, and the source is straight from the horse's mouth
Every post that mention Beck's name makes him money. They use detailed web analytics to determine who people are talking about and what's popular. Advertising rates are even based on the stats. The people who hate him the most make him the most money.

Maybe if you read it correctly you would get some understanding from it.. The Pope stepping down appointed the conservative Cardinals . Most are old. Pope is stepping down according to Beck, before they die off. When the Appointed conservative Cardinals vote they will vote conservative because the Pope appointed the most conservative voting Cardinals to appoint the next Pope.
Benedict elevated new groups of cardinals five times during his eight-year papacy, and on all but one of those occasions he gathered the cardinals together for a daylong meeting before the formal elevation rite. It was at such a meeting in February 2012 that Cardinal Dolan won praise for his talk on evangelization, Mr. Palmo said. “The cardinals all got the chance to size each other up and listen to one another, and there was no seniority in terms of who could speak,” he said.
In the last conclave eight years ago, there were alliances of liberal and conservative cardinals. But this time, the spectrum has narrowed because 50 of the cardinals were created by John Paul II and 67 by Benedict, both doctrinal conservatives. (Cardinals age 80 and older cannot participate.)
Insane is right, I didn't realize he was even allowed out of his rubber room!
Beck's not crazy, his fans are crazy, Beck is making millions off the stupidity and paranoia
