Glenn Beck, family accosted in New York park yesterday
Five Feet of Fury ^ | June 28, 2011 | Kathy Shaidle

Obviously the hostiles didn’t know Beck has one of the few concealed carry permits in the state…

Hoping to enjoy some time together, while taking in a showing of Hitchcock’s The 39 Steps with his wife, Tania, and daughter, Glenn and his family instead experienced an unfriendly and borderline violent scene. At one point, an angry moviegoer kicked a glass of wine into Tania’s back, and as she got up to walk away, a man shouted, “We hate conservatives here.”

When Glenn shared this experience with his staff this morning, no one could understand why he chose to stay. “All I wanted to do is go out on a blanket with my family and have dinner in the afternoon sun and sit around,” Glenn said.

“We didn’t leave. My staff said this morning said why didn’t you leave right away. That was uncomfortable. I said because I have a right to watch a movie and enjoy a movie with my family in the park. I have a right.”

That’s still assault in the third degree. There should be misdemeanor charges at the very least on the person who kicked/threw objects.

He’s got a lot of nerve. I thought he had a ton of body guards.

I am very surprised that Beck didn't have a PSD (Read: Personal Security Detachment) with him. Not smart by a person of his stature and the controversy that surrounds him.

Saw this on another site a little while ago, the hatred for this man is unbeleivable.

If Glenn had responded he would have got the same response Possner got in Wisconsin.

The liberal scum attack and then when challenged they claim to be the victim.

. . . the hatred for this man is unbeleivable.

Which means that he is closer to the truth than the left feels comfortable with.

Disgusting example of liberals demonstrating their vaunted tolerance. Of course, although Glenn Beck and his family have every right to go where they wish, it is a bit unrealistic to be as famous as Glenn Beck and expect not be noticed in a public setting. Being that this happened in New York, which is dominated by liberals, the hostility shown is not surprising, just sad.

Names. Need names. I bet it wasn’t just one person. These scum travel in packs because they have no guts to stand alone. Try that down South scumbags and they will be picking up teeth for days wondering where their mama is.

Just once though, I’d love to see a conservative in this situation just haul off and deck the guy.

I guess the fact that Glenn didn’t shows what a class act he is.

Non reaction is his thing. Don’t react as liberal expect and they come off looking like the idiots they are.

I call him the packin pacifist.

Where’s the civility? I doubt the liberal media will make mention of this incident.

No Glenn, an act of being with the family enjoying their company is anathema to these freaks.

I seem to notice (as many here have pointed out) that so called peace nicks are more ready to resort to violence than others.

That would explain the hand shaking with Muslims. Both have violent streaks, they are natural bedfellows.

Leftist, or liberals as some like that term, have no concept of freedom. Political Correctness is a bullying tactic to coerce people into submission. I strongly believe that it is cancer in society, and it's time to fight back. They never let up. They won't go away. They are snide elitists who presume that they have by some authority to meddle in the affairs of Joe/ Jane Citizen. They had better knock it off. They won't, though.

Somewhere deep in the "oh yeah.." pages look for something like:

"Glenn Beck, ultra conservative FOX News commentator, involved in altercation in NYC park. Beck was not arrested."

Your exactly right! NYC is simply a Eurpean socialist city that happens to
be on U.S. soil.

That’s a good line. I came up with one; possibly for a bumper sticker?

“I’m not a Democrat....I’m a Texan”.
