If the same happened to me, I'm not sure I would just let it happen. I've never been on to "turn the other cheek" nor back down when being threatened.
Quite frankly I'm getting down right fed up with this liberal tolerance crap. We outnumber them, yet we back down to their actions, defer to their rules and put up with their crap. We let them get their foot in the door, now look where we are. Anyway I digress, that's a slightly different topic.
That said given Glenn's propensity of over-dramatizing some events makes me wonder what really happened.
And each time we do they get more emboldened. Sometimes I feel it would be worth a few hours in jail just to pop one in the face.
“These people were some of the most hateful people I have ever seen,” Beck said.
Another reason why Beck’s insistence on everybody “being like Gandi” and similar tripe is so utterly ridiculous in delaing with these vile, evil liberal vermin. It’s pretty easy to “be like Gandi” with round-the-clock security... I
Mob mentality is getting really bad.

I wish there were a video.
This proves the premise of Ann Coulters new book “Demonic”
Aren’t LIBERALS the tolerant ones?! /s
I’m betting that his description is dead-on.
Living in the ‘deep-blue’ I get treated to this sort of thing all the time. The difference is that I (and the folks I associate with) don’t back down.
But then, unlike Beck, I no longer have to worry about the safety of my kids in these sorts of situations.
Compassionate liberals, you gotta love them. Or not.
A video of this event could have gone viral...
Beck should have ripped the socialist crowd with a Samuel Adams quote:
“Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you.
May your chains set lightly upon you,
and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.”
I agree. He no doubt had a cell phone with him. He should have attempted to record something to back up the allegations.
My nickname for him is 'Drama Queen'
to me it sounds a little bit like what goes around comes around. He gets on the radio and goes off on those he doesn’t agree with. People that don’t agree with him go off on him...except they don’t have a radio mike. Not saying it’s right, it isn’t. Just saying, you live by the sword you die by the sword. Don’t come crying when it comes back around. It should be expected so plan accordingly.
I truly hope to see the day when Glenn utters the immortal words of Davy Crockett, “...you may all go to hell, and I will go to Texas.”
Bryant Park is a not over-large park backing up to the big public library, the one with the two famous lions in front, near 42nd Street in midtown. I don’t know the attraction for Glenn Beck and family - there would have to be nicer places to see an outdoor movie for those that don’t actually live in the city, but good for him doing what he wants, where he wants.
The crowd’s behavior is disgusting though - he shouldn’t have to be on guard himself, let alone for his wife and family, from head-cases with unreasoning issues about his politics. Way to ensure his children are introduced early to the entirely rational contempt reasonable people have for leftists, goons. Chances are as good as not the offenders were from out of town, drawn here by what they think is the communist free-for-all experience of a lifetime, that in reality lasts just a few years before they move on elsewhere.
I pray for his family.
Beck should have known better and have made sure his phone camera was taping.
Put those idiots on TV for the world to see what kind of a-holes they are.
Then I’d sue the park.
What does he expect? He is in the middle of enemy territory. He needs to get his ass out.
