Glenn Beck owes Trump supporters apology
Canada Free Press ^ | 02/24/16 | Judi McLeod

Brownshirt Supporters

The best thing Donald Trump’s got going for him, besides the tidal populist wave that could drag conservatism into unchartered waters, is Glenn Beck hunkered down on the Ted Cruz campaign.

Holy $#@*! Donald Trump walked into a Nevada caucus last night and took over the stage while Beck was holding forth!

Political opponents, who don’t play nice with each other when they’re out stumping on the campaign trail, are often on the lookout for rude disruption potential and last word delivery.

“That Cruz hasn’t disavowed Becks comments is telling.”

So true. I almost feel sorry for Cruz having this Beck hemorrhoid attached to him. But the relationship is informative.

1. It shows that Cruz’ sense of discernment, especially in choosing good, credible people, is seriously lacking.

2. My observation, although I could be wrong, is that this is a tail-wagging-the-dog situation. Seems that Beck is calling the shots and charging ahead while Cruz lopes along behind without any protest. That makes me ask how he plans to stand up to powerful people when he doesn’t have the strength to tell Beck to back off.

Best thing Cruz could do is make a phone call and have the nice men show up with a syringe of Thorazine and take Beck off to a rubber room.

I put the radio on before I go into the shower. Today I had Beck on. The was in/on a tirade against Trump, he sounded more like a male version of Debbie Wasserman Shultz. So if he wants to vote for Hillary over Trump, he should go help her. I think now its becoming more of a personal vendetta in Beck’s case. I had to turn him off and put on the Oldies station. I used to listen to Beck only on Fridays for Moron trivia so I would get a good laugh from his antics before Rush came on. After this a.m. show I might never go back again.

I don’t care what Beck thinks and truly don’t care if he apologizes or not.

I too, was surprised by her endorsement.

While there might have been a few, I just can’t imagine most Trump supporting FReepers being so vile, crude and hate-filled toward her if she had endorsed Cruz.

Big gut, small brain, matches penis size, and future audience size. My wife and I used to love listening to Beck, way back before he was on cnn, and he was honest and funny and wasn't crazy. Too bad, mental illness is a terrible disease, and I have had direct contact with it, so I'm not busten' on Beck, but he is effen crazy.

Many Freepers questioned Cruz’s decision to let Beck close. Beck is a real piece of work. While Trump was working to build his empire Beck was drooling on himself drunk in a gutter, not that long ago. Beck is quick to fault everyone’s past but seams to demand forgiveness and forgetfulness of his sordid past.

I predict before he’s completely finished his last radio time slot will follow the George Noory show.

It has been my opinion that before Trump entered the race Cruz's strategy was to use conservative talk shows as his media spearhead. He spent years doing DC stunts designed to get him on talk radio all the time and he thought he would then cash in on that relationship. I actually never thought Cruz was serious about winning the nomination. It was assumed Bush would win. Cruz assumed he would be second and maybe picked as VP or if not he would get to become a GOP power broker.

Then Trump comes in and upends Cruz's stretegy.

It was more on trivia, only bigots thought it was moron trivia, you bigot:) My wife and I used to laugh our butts off with some of the moron answers that people would come back with and then Beck would make fun of them by agreeing with them. Great fun for us educated bigots that knew that Lincoln was a Republican and demonRATS founded the KKK.

Too bad that Beck got dropped on the floor and hurt his head.

Why does Beck owe Trump an apology? Trump interrupted him.

Trump should apologize for his insults, the lies he tells, his crude language, and using illegals to build his buildings. He should apologize for the marriages he’s broken up (maybe not just his own.)

But Beck dared to be talking when The Don wanted to talk, so he owes Trump an apology.

People have ALWAYS sold Sarah Palin short. Even though she nails it time after time after time it is never enough. And the vitriol directed at Palin here at FR over her endorsement of Trump equaled, if not surpassed, anything spewed by the Lunatic Left.

It definitely was not FR’s finest hour and I will remember the Palin-haters. A whole lot of “conservatives” have revealed themselves by their actions since Trump announced last June.

Call me a “Brownshirt” to my face and we will see who ends up apologizing.

You are correct. tRump supporters are the biggest hypocrites around. If Cruz had done the same thing to their other hero Palin, they would be howling and carrying on. Cruz would have been called every name they know. tRump would have been out calling Cruz sick, a bully, and a liar.

They only like when the Donald behaves like a child. He is their entertainment.

“Trump interrupted him.”

Nope. Trump walked into the room while Beck was talking. The crowd started yelling Trump’s name. Beck was done before Trump got 10 steps into the room.

It’s interesting to compare Beck with the “Stump for Trump” ladies. The ladies come off as rational and sober compared to Beck. They certainly have a much better sense of humor.

I heard him comparing Trump and his supporters to the Bible’s “Esau” and Cruz and his supporters to “Jacab”.

He also insinuated that voting for Trump would land one in Hell...

something about how God won’t accept ‘we just wanted change’ when the Judgement comes...what a nimrod...

Desperate Liar - Glenn Beck Sends Followers Fake Trump Tweet - Trying To Prop Up Failing Ted Cruz...
Posted on January 16, 2016 by sundance

UPDATE: 8 Hours after sending the false information, Glenn Beck hides an “apology” on his FaceBook page. He did not remove the Tweet, and does not apologize with the same publicity of the fraud via Twitter and Fox Broadcast - very typical Beck maneuver.


It is no secret that Glenn Beck is a staunch advocate for Ted Cruz. The relationship between Beck and Cruz is one of mutual financial benefit.

However, today Beck shifted his advocacy to another level of scheme with an outright, and already debunked, lie sent out to his twitter followers:

I saw the video - Beck is a liar or a fantasist. The video is Glenn in front of people talking. In walks Trump and the room goes wild people just run away from Beck to see Trump. There was no threatening of Beck nor any angry words exchanged. People just turned around and off they went.

Beck is equating people running away from him as “Brownshirt tactics”. So fail.


Agreed!
