Glenn Beck and family encounter hostility in NYC
The Daily Caller (Yahoo) ^ | 6/29/2011 | Elise Young

Posted on 06/30/2011 2:28:08 AM PDT by South40

When Glenn Beck ventured out with his wife and daughter to catch a Hitchcock flick in New York City’s Bryant Park, the event “turned into a hostile free-for-all,” according to his Web site.

He and his family weathered verbal abuses and slurs against conservatives, and an angry moviegoer even kicked a glass of wine onto his wife, Beck said in a video on his site.

“These people were some of the most hateful people I’ve ever seen,” he said. “I swear to you I think, if I had suggested, and I almost did, ‘Wow, does anybody have a rope? Because there’s a tree here. You could just lynch me,’ and I think there would have been a couple in the crowd that would have.”

This is on Yahoo? Be still my heart.

Only Ann Coulter mentioned it. Rush. Sean, etc. were too busy to be bothered.

He needs security detail wherever he goes.

We all do. This place is getting more dangerous every day.

I saw most of that on his show. I turned it off when he started in on the “don't fight back, turn the other cheek” religious nonsense.

He was out numbered and with his family. I would have done the same thing.

Thanks South40.

This is clearly GWB's fault -- had he not engineered 9/11, framed the innocent Arabs for it, and used the pretext to conduct his war on Moslems, all at the behest of the Elders of Sion, people in NYC wouldn't be upset at Glenn Beck.

Leftist mob thugs; the sort who made Lenin’s Russia the Beacon Light it was.

Very strange that, in the end, and long after the Internationale stopped reverberating in the East, it’s come to the United States - home of the wealthiest and most pampered people on Earth.

Plus ca change, plus c’est le meme chose.

Read Ann Coulter’s “Demonic” to fully understand this behavior.

Glenn smoked these b@stards out - brilliantly.

The footage will go viral and say to the rest of the nation that this is the face of the liberal enemy - an intolerant mob.

He has performed an important public service.

I agree - turning the other cheek has only emboldened these socialists.

Breitbart is right - just get into their face and shut them down.

Bullies cower when faced with opposition.

I'm pretty sure Glenn had security with him when this happened.

Glenn had his security detail with him.....three former Secret Service agents.

Glenn mentioned that his security didn’t say a word to the moonbats. “That’s their training,” Glenn said on his radio show. “It only would have escalated the situation if my security detail had gotten into a shouting match.”

I’m sure Glenn’s security would have taken direct action if any of the lefties had actually laid a hand on Glenn, his wife or his kids.

If it’s “The Big Apple” and I’m Glenn Beck I stay the he** OUT OF THE PARK! Life’s full of trade-offs. Along with being famous; and ESPECIALLY famous for undressing commie-libs, comes giving up the freedom to traipse around nonchallantly anywhere you wish and not be noticed or confronted.

i am not advocating what happened and i think anything that happened to his family is despicable but lets be completely honest- how many here would not go up and spit in george soros’ face if we saw him?? would not get in the face of keith olbermann if we had the chance???

Given your two choices? I'm semi-convinced that Soros is pure evil and spitting on him wouldn't get the job done. Saying what would get the job done would get this post deleted.

Olbermann, on the other hand, is little more than a village idiot. His stupidity and that of those who tune in to him are to be pitied. I think he would enjoy a get in his face encounter.

They have both sown their oats and are simply awaiting the harvest.

I for one would not. There is a difference between being an evolved human being and a farm animal.

Time for GB to hire a security detail. He should be able to afford it.
