The massive exodus of advertisers from Glenn Beck’s television show appears to be taking its toll on the host. Beck went on a paranoid rant about Media Matters and liberal bloggers attacking him. Beck said, “What they have to do is break my legs. What they have to do is silence me. What they have to do is Sarah Palin me."
Here is the audio from Media Matters:
(AUDIO AT LINK)
After falsely claiming that Media Matters is funded by George Soros, and fear mongering about Obama’s “civilian national security force,” Beck got to the root of his concern, “Unless you are preparing something else. Now that is a very good chance that if this gets traction, they will, right now preparing something to take me out and discredit me, but I think what’s happening is as our listener called in a little while ago, Char she’s a truck driver, she was in Wisconsin last night, and she said that she was called a racist because she was watching me, and you should see, we are compiling a list of all things that bloggers are calling me this week.”
He continued, “None of them are dealing with the facts. They are going after my religion. They’re going after my alcoholism. They’re going after oh well he’s just crazy, that I’m a fear monger, that I am this I am that. None of them are answering the questions, none, none. None are relying on facts to dispute…What they have to do is break my legs. What they have to do is silence me. What they have to do is Sarah Palin.”
First of all Media Matters is not a George Soros operation. It is a David Brock operation. Why is it that the right wing thinks that George Soros is the only liberal with any money, and that he is behind everything? Secondly, the source of Beck’s terror is that his viewers are called racists for watching. An advertiser boycott might not get him taken off of the air, but if his show gets the racist tag, he is doomed.
Notice how he brought up the fact that one of his viewers was called racist, but he doesn’t mention why she was called a racist. Glenn, she was called a racist because the host of the program that she was watching decided one morning to call the black president of the United States a racist. Beck started this tsunami of boycotts and bad publicity all on his own.
It isn’t surprising that Glenn Beck is making a blogger enemies list. This is the kind of thing that paranoid people do. I disagree with anyone who attacks Beck for his religion or battle with addiction. Those are personal matters that have nothing to do with politics. In listing all of the things that people call him, he avoided the term racist. It seems that he doesn’t want to go near the race thing with a ten foot poll.
He can spread his conspiracy theories until the end of time, but you have to ask yourself, if so many people are out to get Glenn Beck, why is he still here? If anyone wanted to take Beck out they could. The truth is that his whole Chicken Little act is a gimmick. No one is out to get Beck. He is the Doctor Who of the right wing fringe. He goes on the air everyday and peddles politics based science fiction. It is shtick, and it has made him a millionaire many times over.
Glenn does have 24/7 security, for good reason. The communist traitors surrounding Obama are being outed on national TV, and they are screaming like scalded cats.
Looks to me like a hint to their readers to fix the Beck problem!
Jason, what a hypocrite you are. Glenn gave a lot of reasons for his statement, based on actual quotes and incidents which, if applied to any conservative, would have YOU screaming racist at the top of your lungs.
Amen. But with the statists, it’s about their power grab, not the truth. Their goal is to turn the USA into Venezuela....but we’ll fight back, hard. God bless Glenn Beck for publicly outing the communist traitors.
Do a google on Jason Easley and then try to take him seriously. LOL.
Looks to me like a hint to their readers to fix the Beck problem!
It does doesn't it?
So, there's this. Loud noise from the left.
paranoia:
“an extreme and unreasonable feeling that other people do not like you or are going to harm or criticize you”
It isn’t paranoia if it’s true. Proof, for example, would be this column written by Jason Easley.
Follow the money, David Brock has none, Soros is funding Media Matters, this leftist is a lying idiot, as most of them usually are.
Who is the author trying to fool?
And again the commie fails to adress the facts.
Media Matters has not always been forthcoming about its high-profile backers. In particular, the group has long labored to obscure any financial ties to George Soros. But in March 2003, the Cybercast News Service (CNS) detailed the copious links between Media Matters and several Soros "affiliates"—among them MoveOn.org, the Center for American Progress, and Peter Lewis. Confronted with this story, a spokesman for the organization explained that "Media Matters for America has never received funding directly from George Soros" (emphasis added), a transparent evasion.
Beck needs to hire some Blackwater employes and “ go get em”
This is what is so utterly loathsome about the Left. They simply scream a lie over and over and over with NO regard for intellectual integrity or honesty. There has been NO "massive exodus" of advertisers. Beck is pulling down his highest ratings ever. The boycott has failed totally but you will NEVER hear that from lying frauds like this author.
Wake me up when you're ready to visit them at their homes. *They* need to understand that *we* know *exactly* where they are.
I wonder how they'd feel if private citizens started collecting GPS coordinates on these thugs and all the ACORN types homes. A little turn-about is fair play, no?
Now THATS an idea I can get behind!
“with the statists, it’s about their power grab, not the truth. “
YES!
“God bless Glenn Beck for publicly outing the communist traitors.”
AMEN!!!
Personally I’ve never used it but I understand that you can enter GPS coordinates into Google Earth or Google Maps or something and have little indicators show up for each site.
If we did this and let the thugs know that WE know, well, that would go a long ways towards my feeling a bit more like we can mount a strong defense if/when needed...
And, after collecting, I might add..."and publishing".
Google Maps comes to mind. You know, on Google Maps one can post pictures - one could actually post pictures of their homes.
Beck is spot on. I’ve been waiting for somebody to call the spade a spade for months.
‘The man’ is mired in so much hateful anti-American ideology fed to him and shared by him with those who are in fact the chronic disease of Americans society.
“God bless Glenn Beck for publicly outing the communist traitors.”
A resounding B U M P to that!
I agree about their intentions, and the time now to begin sidewalk protests etc.
But the big fish hook still caught in the throats of these would-be tyrants is that pesky 2nd Amd.
They really need to organize a major “Reichstag Shooting” to do something about the 2nd Amd.
It would be their “nuclear option”. There is NO LINE that these people WOULD NOT CROSS OVER, morally, in order to keep power or prevent further erosion of power past a certain point. So either they back down or we back down. Either way, it is getting closer and closer to those days for the Republic it would seem.
