Muslim Groups Opposed to ABC's Hiring of Radio Talk Show Host
(CNSNews.com) - Three Arab and Muslim American advocacy groups are voicing their opposition to ABC's "Good Morning America" hiring talk-show host Glenn Beck, claiming he has "an obvious anti-Arab and anti-Muslim prejudice in his broadcasts." The Arab American Institute, American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, and the Muslim Public Affairs Council claim Beck made "threats and blatantly inaccurate statements" on his show. The groups sent a letter to ABC/Disney asking for a meeting to detail their concerns. They have also launched a membership action campaign urging supporters to contact ABC News over Beck's hiring. "[Glenn Beck's] addition to 'Good Morning America' would disseminate his prejudiced, openly-hostile and ignorant commentary to an even broader national audience, and diminish the credibility of your reputable and highly-rated news show," said the groups said in the letter to ABC. "To provide a platform for his hateful speech is dangerous and irresponsible, and we strongly and urgently implore you to reconsider this move," they wrote.

AS long as muslims bully others and get their way, this Sh!t will continue.

They must be doing something right.

AS long as muslims bully others and get their way, this Sh!t will continue. And as long as we take it (gawd I'm so sick of it already) and the media accepts this kind of crap, hook line and sinker, the more emboldened they get.

I can see them backing down. After all, aren't they the station that broadcasts "Grey's Anatomy"? And isn't the actor (from that show) that offended some homosexual's sensibilities being forced to undergo "treatment" for his alleged "homophobia"? So, having ABC back down from offending some Muslims isn't a far stretch at all.
Glenn Beck is front and center with the Islamist threat. He is constantly espousing his fear that this is being underplayed and whitewashed. He often airs the propaganda that is being rammed down the throats of people (especially children) in the Middle East. I am amazed that he is still on CNN. He tells it like it is. I like that.
Unfortunately, his radio show used to be broadcast (delayed) in my area, but Sean Hannity replaced him. I like Sean, but I really used to get some belly laughs from Glenn.
I hope ABC doesn't buckle.

Gee, I watch GB every night on DirecTV channel 204. I'd think by going to ABC he'd be missing some viewers, not getting more.

I've never heard him. Is he obviously anti-Muslim?
To: BunnySlippers
Well, he's anti-Islamic jihadist, anyway.
He has a great radio show, and a nightly TV show on CNN Headline News, amazingly enough.
He's also incredibly funny.

Really. I'll look up his program.
To: Shelayne
I'm thinking that ABC could be looking down the road a bit. The '60s and early '70s kids have the reins right now (ie: they gots the influence and the buying power), and so the networks and other mainstream media presently kowtow to their liberal leanings. But the more conservative '80s Reagan kids are fast approaching their turn at the wheel, and people like Glenn appeal to them bigtime.
The smart media people realize you go where the money is. And the need to appeal to those grown-up Reagan-era kids is just around the corner.

Currently, Glenn Beck is on CNN's 2nd channel Headline News (202 on Direct TV).
Glenn Beck is AWESOME. He is also on the radio, and he is terrific. He is the funniest, smartest guy on any broadcast. Rush wishes he could be Glenn Beck.

ABC will probably bend over backwards for them. Sad.

These Muzzies think they are the master race. These Muzzies are fresh off the boat and are already trying to run things. Eff 'em if they don't like it.

It's time for muslims to stand up and clean their own filthy verminous house.

He is just going to do appearances. He is not going there on a daily basis.
