In the wake of Glenn Beck's hugely successful Restoring Honor rally held in Washington, D.C. this weekend, the Huffington Post has published an offer of $100,000 to anyone with evidence that would destroy Beck's reputation and take him off the political/cultural battlefield.
An essay written by Beau Friedlander, the last editor-in-chief of Air America before it shut down this year, was posted in the Politics section of the Huffington Post today with the title, $100,000 For Glenn Beck's Sex Tape.
Friedlander says he will not use his own money for the hit, but that he will "broker" the deal.
It is time to pop the tea baggers' favorite balloon (so what if it will be replaced by another?), and with that in mind I hereby offer to negotiate a $100,000 payday to the person who will come forward with a sex tape or phone records or anything else that succeeds in removing Glenn Beck from the public eye forever. I am not offering the cash myself, but I will broker the deal and/or raise the money for what you bring to the table. (And it better be good.)
If you have the goods, or if you want to contribute to a slush fund to buy more takedowns (probably not tax deductible), please contact me at: glennbecksextape@gmail.com.
Friedlander couches his offer in the context of Andrew Breitbart's offer of $100,000 for the Journolist listserve messages, but this is more in line with pornographer Larry Flynt's blackmail campaign against Congressmen during Bill Clinton's impeachment, which followed a threat from Clinton conveyed by George Stephanopoulos to expose their sex lives.
Likewise, the Huffington Post has ties to the Obama White House, raising the question of whether the White House is behind this targeting of Beck.

I think he handled it well. I appreciate him more for defending his family, being honest about his past, and letting the other side know that if anything surfaces, it is a lie.
I think someone should send them a tape. When they open it up and play it.......Glenn is blowing razzberries. LOL!
“She is Greek.”
Wow Ariana Huffington (Greek) and George Soros (Hungarian) and Obama (Kenyan/British?) - what a trio of Trojan horse occupants! :(
The huffer does not even have the money, he is just promising to pay.*
Let it be known that I don't personally have the money…it’s a guy I know…yeah that’s the ticket! A very wealthy individual that you probably know, but I am not at liberty to disclose. It would be doubleplus ungood to tell you who he is.
I ASSURE you, that you WILL get the money if you sell me the blackmail tapes
I’m from Huffington Post. Trust me!
Yep....he did handle it well.
*Nice of him to offer 100k of someone else’s money - yet to be determined. Sounds like a true lib!*
If you follow the money trail (if there actually is ANY money) it will probably turn out to have originally been taxpayer’s money
I wonder if they would have supported going after MLK the same way?
Story has been pulled? Interesting!
Reminds me that Tiger and Edwards dsapointed me, both should have said’’you have enjoyed kissing B. Clintons ass for 15 yrs, you can just kiss mine for 30 yrs or so’’ see Monica for futher details.
HuffPo took it down - anybody have a screen shot from Huffer of the story? Glenn’s staff is asking for it on their live feed.
Editor's Note: This piece was published directly to the Huffington Post by its author. It didn't meet our editorial standards and has been removed from the site.
The left tries to tie the tea party into a movement with a leader. What they fail to understand is that the tea party is simply “we the people”. And they will find that out in November.
I have it up on another tab. How do I make a screen shot of it??? Anyone know?
Was it pulled? Wow! I won’t refresh the page because I don’t want to lose it.
Yeah saw it was pulled. I hope someone took a screenshot, this guy should have criminal charges filed against him.
Wat to believe in the First Amendment, Huffington Post. You people are a real piece of work. Americans exercise their legitimate Bill of Rights freedoms and because they disagree with you, you want to engage in bribery in an effort to “Destroy” someone.
This is coming to civil war. The public and the truly free press and responsible politicians (the few that there are) must speak out loud and clear against these unpatriots and win at all costs losers.
For a screenshot, I hold down the Alt button and hit Print Screen (this is for Windows, not sure what the procedure is for a Mac)
Such tolerance for political diversity hath the left...
PING!
I can’t believe I find myself in this position as one who bought the Swift-boat book and contributed cash to the effort, but I seem to recall there was a LOT of money associated with the subject with some big time donors in the background, T Boone Pickens being among them. If Beck has nothing to hide, this effort will only serve to make his opponents look even worse than they do now.
