Glenn Beck slams WWE stars as 'stupid wrestling people' — whines characters 'demonizing' Tea Party

Glenn Beck and the WWE are going toe-to-toe in a war of words.

The political commentator, who used to host a show on Fox News, called out the wildly popular wrestling organization last week, referring to the entertainers as “stupid wrestling people.”

Beck’s comments were referring to the ongoing storyline between Jack Swagger and Alberto Del Rio. Swagger, who has enlisted the help of Zeb Colter, another character in the WWE, is feuding with Del Rio heading into Wrestlemania 29, where the two will square off for the World Heavyweight Championship.

Beck is claiming that Swagger and Colter’s characters are demonizing the Tea Party when the latter of the two went on a racist rant against Del Rio’s character during a show last week.

“The WWE now has put a new character out that is demonizing the TEA Party,” Beck said. “You know Linda McMahon, I’m sorry you didn’t win. We should have seen how your true colors early on, and I think we did. She’s just one of these progressive Republicans that we worry about.”

Hey, speaking of Jimmy Hart aka the Mouth of the South, remember this rock n roll classic? That's him on lead vocals.

Okay, we can play the game by your rules.

Since anyone who puts on the uniform is to be placed on a pedestal, then you make it clear that you unquestioningly endorse Major Nidal Hasan, and PFC Bradley Manning. And we could go further back if you like.

How about all of the uniformed personnel that got themselves into the Leavenworth Military Prison, and the Portsmouth Naval Prison? More of your heroes.

Or we could have an adult conversation in which we agree that troops that graciously show up to an event thrown in their honor don’t necessarily qualify as fans on the same level as the knuckle draggers who make the WWE an unqualified financial giant.

Your choice.
