Glenn’s Labor Day weekend in NYC uncovers ugly hatred on American Airlines
Glenn Beck ^ | 9/4/12 | Glenn Beck

Posted on 09/04/2012 10:33:55 AM PDT by Nachum

GLENN: I want to spend some time giving you knowledge on, you’re close to winning. In fact, you’re so close to winning, the left and the uber left doesn’t even know how to deal with it, and they’re getting very, very angry. I’ve lived in New York for, what, five years? I’ve seen ‑‑ I’ve seen New York. I’ve seen the ugly side of New York, I’ve seen the good side of New York, but I have not seen what I have seen in the last weekend. In fact, my wife said she’s never going to New York again. It was ‑‑ it was quite amazing.

I want to tell you a little bit about my weekend and I want to personally thank American Airlines for bringing to my attention that they don’t mean “American Airlines.” They mean “liberal American Airlines” apparently. But let me start here. Do you remember when Clint Eastwood got up on stage and he said, “You know there’s a lot of ‑‑ there’s a lot of people in Hollywood. They just don’t make a big deal out of it.” Now why? I’ve spent a lot of time with a few people in Hollywood that are very big names, and they’ll tell you why. They don’t have five Oscars to their name. They don’t have Clint Eastwood’s reputation. They don’t have Jon Voight’s reputation where it’s Jon Voight. You want Jon Voight? You gotta take Jon Voight.

PAT: And you know what was interesting about Eastwood’s speech was that he only mentioned himself and Jon Voight.

GLENN: And Jon Voight. That’s it.

PAT: Because those are the two biggest.

GLENN: They don’t say it. Now why? Why? Because they know they’ll never work again. It’s blacklisting, and it’s wrong if you’re a suspected Communist

I always thought Glenn was a bit of a drama queen himself. Just my $.02.

American has been known as the “gay airline” for a long time. American’s management has known and condoned the “treatment” of passengers too. I try not to book on American but am prepared to respond to rude treatment.

Beck has really grown on me. There is drama but also sincerity. I find it hilarious when the members of his staff mercilously mock him. I’ve only been listening to him regularly for about a year and now I prefer him to Rush. Mainly because I need a laugh on the mornings...

American Airlines human resources department can definitely use some help because they hired the village idiot as a flight attendant. Did he really think that he had as much power as Glenn Beck. I certainly would not want this individual to be responsible for me should an emergency develop on a flight that he was assigned to. He simply is not intelligent enough for his job.

I met Pat Neely at his restaurant in Memphis. It was during closing time on a slow night and much to my surprise there he was working the register and closing out the wait staff. We visited for five minutes or so. Really nice guy.

My daughter flew for a major air carrier for a few years.
She was accused by a gay male flight attendant of “sexual harassment” because she mentioned her boy friend! The local supervisor in San Francisco (of all places) backed the gay-boy but did not go any farther with the case. She was threatened with a “letter in her file” but that never happened.
I would agree that at least 80% are gay. I am a retired Captain...not AA though!

If there were as many “former Israeli soldiers” as those who profess to be, we would be buying oil from Israel and there would be no arabs left in the middle east.

The wacky male flight attendant who jumped out of the JetBlue plane with a six pack of beer in his hand was gay.

Sad (and shocking) that a former Israeli soldier - now flight attendant - would be an abrasive, unabashed liberal.

Former Israeli soldier?

Well, that would explain any accent and also reveal why he did not claim to be a super secret Delta, Special Forces, Green Beret, SEAL Ranger formerly of Spec Ops.

10/4, Over and out, Roger Wilco.

There will be repercussions for this rude behavior .When you treat people who are nationally syndicated radio hosts & they decide to bad mouth you in a calm detailed manner that is gonna hurt the bottom line .

True. Something doesn't sound right about this.

From Beck:
“While he treated me as a subhuman, he treated my children nicely. So as I was deplaning, as he was standing next to the pilot, I said to him, “I want to sincerely thank you for not treating my children the way you treated me.” His response? “It was my pleasure. You deserved it.” The pilot didn’t say anything, nor did the other passengers, but they probably didn’t know what was going on. “

The lame-stream media that is reporting on this story is portraying it like Beck is a crybaby who is mad because his soda was slammed down. The lame-streams are conveniently leaving out the above part I have included here.

Ask yourself this: Suppose the attendant had been conservative and had spoken to a muslim or minority like that. What would happen to the attendant?

We all know the answer to that.

It certainly was. My guess.....the ‘steward’ was a rump ranger.

Going out on a limb there, eh?

As an orthodox Jew with a big beard, I get mistreated by stewardesses on almost every other flight I take.

I kind of expect it now.
