Today on his radio show, [Glenn] Beck let loose with a torrent of anger and frustration at an issue he described as having been going on for a few weeks now. Before he began, Beck said he would post what he was going to say online, thus forever disproving anyone who thought he was a “shill” for the Republican Party.
Considering the amount of venom he then let out towards the GOP establishment, he can consider his point made.
It all started with a conversation with Rep. Joe Walsh who described sadly the fact that House Speaker Boehner’s office had denied his and other congressmen’s requests to attend Beck Israel rally in an official capacity as a fact-finding mission. Beck maintained his composure during the call with Walsh, offering the Illinois Congressman a free GBTV membership to watch from there. However, you could hear just how frustrated he was with the whole situation as he wondered allowed if Boehner wasn’t just punishing Tea Party Republicans for not voting for his debt plan.
Then, once Walsh was off the line, Beck really got into it:
“Speaker Boehner, you should be ashamed of yourself. The Republican Party should be ashamed of themselves. They don’t have to attend my event. Let them come to our biggest ally and our only friend in the Middle East in their hour of need. They don’t have to attend my event! In fact, I’ll ban them. Does that make you happy? Let Congress come here! You should be ashamed of yourself for playing politics. That’s what it is, Boehner, and you know it. The Republican Party sickens me.”

“Excuse me, but do you guys really think Boehner should let the congress people go to Glenn Beck rally in Israel on taxpayer’s money?”
Why Not? we have a circus clown in the Oval office spending money like it is water,And Bonehead is NO American!
Beck sure has “immaturity” down good
He is right about Bonehead. If they don’t get rid of this RINO soon the damage may never be undone.
“Why don’t you write them a check for their travel expenses? I don’t feel like having them travel on my taxes... especially to attend an event created by a whining Libertarian who delights in trashing my party.
You and Beck can finance his latest PR stunt.”
Why? Evidently there is Plenty of money,Bonehead gave Zippy Obama 2.4 Trillion!
Boehner has to be removed as Speaker and then primaried!
What a disappointment he's been!
That's exactly what it sounds like. He probably wanted a big turnout for his rally and, absent congresscritters attending on the tax payers dime, perhaps didn't get it. Boehner sounds like he made the correct decision here.
Beck should have stuck with Fox. I think he's lost a lot of relevance now. From his DC rally onwards he started getting all preachy and less interesting. His show was good when it was political and focused on current events.
Bonehead told them they could go at their own expense then he rescinded that permission. Don't protect this RINO.
uh, what are they? Babies? Tell Boehner to go suck an egg. I do what I want. The country will be free in spite of you.
See? It is easy.
What's wrong with that? Why should I pay for a boondoggle mission like that? Fact-finding my arse.
lol...Sorry, I was taught from a young age that “Well the other kids are doing it!” isn’t a viable defense.
Oh, shut up.
If you were so bold to have listened to the audio clip, you and the rest of the boneheads assuming they were asking for tax dollars to attend would have heard another story. Even with having private funding for the trip, they raised ethics as the reason they are not to attend officially as a Congressman.
GEEZ, PEOPLE! DO A LITLE HOMEWORK FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFETIME!
Well, it is cheaper than Obama going on a 3 day bullshit tour in buses fom Canada that we paid for.
Who listens to Boehner?
Many republicans act proud of going after their own party.
They don’t mention they haven’t gone after the other party.
congressmen need permission from boner to travel where they want? Do they have a curfew also and if they violate it do they have to stand in the corner?
If I had to watch tht prissy twit RINO Dana Perrino every day, I would drive over a cliff.
She is a tool. She hurts our cause.
Going on the taxpayer's dime is gagging on a frickin’ gnat!
The issue is an official American delegation made up of Congressional Republicans going to a function in support of Israel! The same Israel supported by damn near every American Jew, I might add!
You jackasses are an embarrassment!
I really don’t watch FOX much anymore beyond FOX and Flakes and the first hour of actual news.
