MOUNT VERNON, Wash. (AP) -- Glenn Beck's visit to his hometown in Washington state this weekend seemed simple enough on the surface, with a ceremonial key to the city awaiting him and the mayor naming the day in the Fox News personality's honor.
But this being Glenn Beck, nothing is that easy.
Groups have demonstrated on the streets and in city council meetings over the conservative commentator's visit. Petitions have been collected calling on the cancellation of the visit. A small business owner put up a sign that says: "Glenn Beck & Hatred not welcome here." And the leader of a nearby city has offered the key to his city to Jon Stewart in sort of a mayoral rebuttal.
Welcome home, Glenn.

In this 1981 high school yearbook photo provided courtesy of Sehome High School, Fox News Channel personality Glenn Beck is shown, from Sehome High School in Bellingham, Wash. Beck has drawn protests as the nearby town of Mount Vernon, Wash., where he spent part of his childhood, prepares to give him a key to the city when he visits there on Sept. 26, 2009.

Go GLENN!
I appreciate your willingness to apologize to Katie Couric if you turn out to be wrong. Can’t ask for much more than that.

It’s not that hatred isnt welcome, They just dont like it mixed with truth about their boy Obama.
There is plenty of hatred there already, but its liberal hatred for the Constitution and for a Constitutional President.They like the Usurper.

Beck should really get the lefties upset and tell people that one of the local Native American tribes is taking him on a traditional whale hunt.
People are getting really spooled up about this. I think it is really funny that Beck came out of Sehome High in Bellingham. Right out of the belly of the beast.

I guess Glenn's getting what he deserves for that remark about “typical” black men and for sitting in the church of a racist pastor for 20 years. That was Glenn wasn't it? It's always hate or racism whenever you say something that doesn't align with the left's version of the truth.

I live just outside Bellingham, and this has become a HUGE deal up here, SEIU, FUSE, The Young Democrats and half a dozen other “progressive” groups are sending out mass emails encouraging people to protest at this event, as well as bussing people in from outlying areas like Olympia and Seattle.

I hope he loves Obama's taxes on his business.

This happened recently in Everett, Washington to radio towers belonging to KRKO. Everett is about 30 miles from Glen Beck's home town, Mt. Vernon. This destruction has be blamed on eco-terrorists from the Left. Many think it was also an effort to end KRKO's conservative talk radio message.
