‘Outrageous’: Glenn Beck Responds to Media Accusations

Glenn Beck, who has been in South Carolina campaigning for Republican presidential hopeful Ted Cruz this week, called in to his eponymous radio program Tuesday to talk about the death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. What he said garnered a strong reaction from the media, which he is now calling “outrageous.”

Beck’s radio show co-host Pat Gray could not wrap his mind around why God would allow Scalia to have passed away in a moment when the U.S. is so divided politically. Beck, hoping to provide an answer, called into The Glenn Beck Radio Program from the road to explain his view.

~snip~

Shortly after his radio show ended, several media outlets — including Mediaite, Raw Story and CNN — reported that Beck said “God killed Scalia” — a claim the radio show host pushed back against strongly late Wednesday night.

 “Apparently the [mainstream media] is reporting that I said ‘God killed Scalia to help Ted Cruz.’ Outrageous,” Beck wrote in a Facebook note. “What I did say is ‘perhaps God allowed Scalia to die at this time to wake America up to how close we are to the loss of our freedom.’”

Beck went on to write that he believes in “divine providence,” something he says Americans have historically endorsed, which he uses as the linchpin for his argument that God might have “allowed Scalia to die.”

Whatever happens on earth is part of God's plan - I believe that.

What's interesting (in a way that is distasteful to me) about this kerfuffle is that Beck is spinning it as somehow a personal advantage for Cruz, and group advantage for the country. Maybe it is, I don't know, events haven't played out yet. But I will say this, events have a way of playing out in unexpected ways!

maybe you can enumerate for the class the ideological principles

Plenty, but only after you explain why Cruz thinks legalization of illegals is part of "common sense immigration reform," and yet choose to believe his lies and make nonsensical trollish comments about Trump.

>>yet choose to believe his lies

I believe Trump’s own words tell the truth about (D)er Trumpenflipper.

Note you can't dispute my Cruz quote, so you'll demand I watch some You Tube video to distract from your hypocrisy :-)

I already know the answer. God was not taken surprise by Scalia’s death.

[Albion Wilde]

So you believe God is not omnipotent. God was suprised by Scalia’s death?

God incorporates all things into His plan, but he has allowed free will and is not the cause of sin -- people are. Eventually, God can turn all things to good; but He is not a puppetmaster. Otherwise, there would be no need for conversion and individual growth and repentence.

Was sin involved in Scalia's death? We do not know. Could it have been there inadvertantly, such as unwise decision-making on the part of his medical advisors, medicines in combination, or even mixed intentions on the part of his host, a liberal Obama supporter, in inviting an old man to an isolated location among a guest list who might have contributed to a stressful atmosphere? We don't know.

Regardless of what Beck said, or what he meant, FReepers swallowed the liberal hook, line and sinker.

For the Lefty Media, spinning the Buffoon Beck is like taking candy from a STUPID baby.

I've been warning you people about The Media DeathStar.

No one has natural immunity, except Donald Trump.

Even Obama and Hillary Clinton would be grievously wounded, if the DeathStar chose to turn its beam on them. Which, of course, will never happen.

[Just mythoughts]

This is true. Beck is quite eccentric, at least. On another matter, at this moment the US is not unusually divided politically - it’s been like this more or less since 2001, and I don’t see it changing except for the worse. The only change since 2001 is that people are beginning to realize that this is the new normal. Americans are Serbs and Albanians living together.

This election is about the GOP establishment courting the Hispanic vote through open borders candidates. Somehow we are suppose to believe the Republican brand is going to draw in the law breaking Hispanic voters...

“I’ve been warning you people about The Media DeathStar.”

It is a good analogy. But the Meadia Deathstar has been damaged, and its power diminished. It is the job of the new media to continue to use truth as a weapon to diminish the power of the Media DeathStar, until it is only one of a constellation of Meadia sources of illumination.

Poor Xenotard.

Seems to me illegal immigration is one of the various means by which the Creator is delivering His punitive response upon the self-worshiping culture of created things -- like those "discovered" by your cesarean Super Tzar.

 

 

When an interviewer recently called Lady Gaga the "Billy Graham of pop," she claimed,

"I'm teaching people to worship themselves."

Rom 1:25-27
25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator - who is forever praised. Amen.

26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion. 
NIV

But the Meadia Deathstar has been damaged, and its power diminished.

It's still fully operational, even though it's taken damage.

Trump can give it the coup de grace.

From your keyboard to God’s inbox!

Headline writers are notoriously over the top

In fact those aren’t far off the mark. Saying that this is all part of God’s plan is very nearly the same as saying it is part of God’s plan.

Why is everyone so anxious to attribute to God those things that are just part of man’s natural life? No one is promised tomorrow. Scalia had come to the end of his life. He was old, over weight, unhealthy and it caught up with him. Explain to me how that is God’s plan or fault or doing? It isn’t. Had Scalia taken better care of himself he might have lived longer.

ALL of this nonsense being thrown around is not helpful.

Beck is over the top in his personal predictive status in the world. He makes claims over and over again and then when they don’t come true he ignores it. When something close or sort of like what he says comes true he goes nuts telling people see see I was right.

Beck does not get a pass on this one

[dforest]

Beck is waitin’ fer Ted.

You mean like that remark? LOL

[Nifster]

Well don’t read them then

[HLPhat]

Note you can't dispute my Cruz quote, so you'll demand I watch some You Tube video to distract from your hypocrisy :-)

Cruz's family has directly experienced the results of the sort of state-established terrorism that so many immigrants come to the U.S.A. to escape.

I think his faith and knowledge of those circumstances create a moral dilema for which there is no easy populist nationalist answer.

RTFM:

John 13:34-35

34 "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another."

NIV

[Nifster]

What a ridiculous question.

Who are you to know the mind of God? Are you suggesting that God said NOW this instant I want to make sure that old fat guy who doesn’t take care of himself dies so an electorate will wake up?

IF that is what you are suggesting then you are right in there with Beck

[Nifster]

Tell that to Job
