Glenn Beck Has Brass Gonads
Townhall ^ | August 29, 2009 | Doug Giles

Posted on 08/29/2009 8:27:32 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Don’t you know Obama and his ilk wish to God (or whoever the heck they wish to) that Glenn Beck would fall into adultery with an Argentinean newswoman, or cut his jugular vein while shaving, or show up drunk, high and naked to his FOX show and forever be publically vilified, marginalized and thus muzzled?

Beck has formally joined Rush as an Official Pain in Barack Obama’s Backside (OPIBOB). (Are you an OPIBOB yet?) Yep, not only has Obama’s administration called Rush out, but the White House has now phoned Beck during his TV show in an attempt to get him to dial the heck down.

Glenn said this past week that Barack’s minions were actually calling his show while he was on air because he was being a meany. When I heard this I was sitting there eating pretzels and drinking a martini thinking: Are you kidding me? Is Perez Hilton running the White House? The White House is actually calling Beck during his program in an attempt to get him to cease and desist his digs? Wow . . . sounds, pretty gay to me. No offense to gay people, of course.

So, what’s next, Whine House? Are you gonna post an angry note on Beck’s Facebook wall? Are you going to place Glenn’s picture on the White House website and draw naughty stuff on his forehead? Unbelievable. Not only do we have to contend with and check a radical Socialist-in-Chief at every point, but we also have to a field a cheeky, paranoid, oversensitive staff that makes Nixon look like Andy Griffith’s Aunt Bee.

So, what’s all the hubbub about? Why is Beck under their epidermis? Well, it’s principally because he asks questions. And if there is one thing that derails the Hope and Change Train, it’s questions. Oh, I almost forgot: Facts also get them purty PO’ed. Questions and facts . . . can’t have that. Yep, both of those little damnable ditties are detrimental to Obama’s oligarchical grasp.

For those who missed Beck’s week of must-see TV, he boldly parleyed into the President’s court questions several million of us want to ask but don’t have a top-ranked TV show on the most watched cable news channel to get the proper respect and response. Here’s a little sample of Beck’s mischievous queries. On Monday he inquired:

- We are in so much debt, why spend more borrowed money on cap-and-trade and healthcare programs before we stop the flow of red-ink?

- The stimulus package funneled billions of dollars to ACORN. How does giving billions of dollars to ACORN stimulate the economy?

- If it was so important for congress to pass the stimulus bill before they even had time to read it, why has only a fraction of the stimulus money been spent 6 months later?

- Why won’t members of Congress read the bills before they vote on them?

- Why are citizens mocked and laughed at when they ask their congressman to read the bills before they vote on them?

- How did Van Jones, a self-proclaimed communist, become a special advisor to the president?

- Did President Obama know of Van Jones’ radical political beliefs when he named him special advisor?

- The Apollo Alliance claimed credit for writing the stimulus bill—why was this group allowed to write any portion of this bill?

- If politicians aren’t writing the bills and aren’t reading the bills, do they have any idea what these 1,000-page plus bills actually impose on the American people?

- If the “public option” health care plan is so good, why won’t politicians agree to have that as their plan?

- If town hall meetings are intended for the politicians to learn what’s on our mind—why do they spend so much time talking instead of listening?

- Is using the economic crises to rush legislation through congress what Rahm Emanuel meant when he talked about “not letting a crisis go to waste”?

- What are the czars paid? What is the budget for their staffs/offices?

On Tuesday Beck wondered aloud:

- Who is “surrounding” the President in the White House?

- Do any of the President’s advisers have criminal records?

- Are the President’s advisers working to better the country or their own ideals?

- Who are the anti-capitalists in Washington?

- What roles do they have in crafting bills?

- What was “STORM”? What happened to the founders, and where are they now?

- What qualifications must one have to be a Presidential adviser?

- Should a communist have the ear of the President of the United States?

- What role did the Apollo Alliance play in crafting bills?

- Does the President know the co-founder of the Weather Underground is a board member of the Apollo Alliance?

On Wednesday Glenn wanted to know:

- Why does the FCC have a diversity “czar”?

- Who is Mark Lloyd, and how does he plan to “balance” the airwaves?

- Will he bring back the Fairness Doctrine, or worse?

- Cass Sunstein once said he wants to balance the Internet; is that next?

- Will broadcasters who leave the airwaves be allowed to go to satellite or Internet without government regulation?

- Is there any place (that has a mass audience) where the government won’t regulate free speech?

- Why does it seem every member of the Obama advisory team hates capitalism, unless those companies (like G.E.) are in bed with the administration?

If Lloyd has his way, stations that don't comply with the government’s definition of the “public interest” will have to pay a massive fine—which helps support public broadcasting:

- What will be the definition of “public interest”?

- Who defines “public interest”?

- Why should it be balanced? Because it's public airwaves? (Well, there are public roads that go by my house, and I don't count how many Republicans and Democrats are driving on them.)

On Thursday GB thought:

- Why do we need a civilian force?

- Who is posing a threat to us?

- Who will this “force” be made up of?

- Who is the real enemy?

- Does the president know of a coming event? If not, who builds an army against an unrecognized enemy?

- Why won't the media get off their butts and look into these radicals in the White House? And into this civilian army?

(*For the full list visit: http://www.glennbeck.com/content/articles/article/198/29631/) You see, Beck was just asking questions. Hey, White House . . . Can we not ask questions anymore? Is that verboten? Can we not ask our elected officials to explain themselves, elucidate a bit about their odd buddies and make clear their policies and proposals?

Can we not question you boys with boldness, hold to the truth, and speak without fear of reprisal? Huh?

In the words of my redneck hunting buddy, better known as the West Texas Warrior, “Why, hell we can!” Not only can we, ladies and gents, but we must.

Uh, correct me if I’m wrong, but this is our nation; this ain’t Cuba or Venezuela yet. We pay the government’s bills, and therefore they answer to us, they represent us—and if they don’t then we take their airplanes, limos, mistresses and five-star hotels away from them. Yeah, I believe that’s how it’s supposed to work.

Keep asking the hard questions, boys and girls. Don’t let them tread on you.

Great job, Mr. Beck.

I wouldn't want the job of starting his car.

I've pushed through the circus barker facade to really respect the guy. Sort of like getting through the bravado and bluster of Rush to get to the message. They both got a set. Understand Beck will be in Mt. Vernon, WA 9/26. Hope to see him.

****************Gee, that weird travel reporter on CNN did all this and more in central park in the nude -———— and it didn’t hurt him.

And saying “And look officer I have many drugs right next to the rope tied to my naked wee-wee”

didn’t even get him sent to jail . Woo woo!!!

Oh my bad —— these kind of things only apply to us

(cf B Clinton vs R Nixon et alia).

"educational approach and reporting of facts sometimes require something simple like a dry erase board"

To teach, at least 1/2 of the voting "stuck on stupid" morons, what is at stake when electing a "hopey-changey-feel good" clown to the highest office of the USofA, without checking the hard facts.

“Wow . . . sounds, pretty gay to me. No offense to gay people, of course.”

Last week, President Barack Obama released a proclamation declaring June 2009

“Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Month” in the United States of America. This marks the first occaision that the White House has officially commemorated Gay Pride since the Clinton administration. !!!!!!!!!!!

Man, don’t forget those transgenders!!!

They’re very useful for attacking DNC offices -— should one not wish to dirty one’s own hands .... just jokin’ DNC.

Please don’t taze me!

Please don’t re-educate me!!!

I want to ask, why does the government want to take away our free speech regardless of what some would think and their ideology opposes..... isn't the 1 st amendment for all Americans or just for some ?
Why would the government want to put us in camps if we dare to question them ?

I too was put off by Beck’s mugging the camera and heavy handed, third grade sarcasm, but hey! It works! Go Glenn!

Had trouble with something else, too. No one should ever question Glenn’s courage, but he does *look* and *move* like the Pillsbury Dough Boy! The bullies in my public school (many decades ago) would have tried to knock him down at least once a week on general priciples of bullyhood. Did he learn to fight, or did he just keep getting up? Either takes courage; getting up repeatedly may take more than fighting; but I hope he learned to fight.

To repeat: go Glenn!

" I give Glenn Beck big points because he clearly is no coward. "

I think he even mentioned that he is on their target list and watch list....
If anything happens to Glen Beck the public will know a certain government administration is responsible.

The only reason why they used that term " Public Interest " is that they know that a portion of the public won't even bother to check the facts and take whatever Oweweed , MSM and Democrats say at face value.
It's a attempt to fool the sheeple by inserting " Public Interest " so the stupid sheeple will say " ohh yeah, they are for us, they care for us, don't you see ? it says it's for the " Public Interest " .....

I would not say that it's only a segment, the ratings were what ? for one show ? 3 million ?
He hits a cord because he is just stating things, and asking questions and being bold about it that many of us want the rest of our supposed conservative leaders won't.
That's why Sarah Palin hits a cord also.
It's like when the Rocky movie first came out in 1976 and we cheered for Rocky, even though we can't put it all in words, we know it in our hearts and souls what Glen is saying and he is the champion who is standing up for those who don't have a voice in this thing.

We will watch and protect Glen's and Sarah's back, and we will keep a keen eye on Big Brother.
BTW Big Brother ? God is ALL knowing and all seeing, God sees every aspect of your plans.

Also, I wonder if Michelle Savage is jumping back on the Glen Beck band wagon ? .... I would not doubt that Savage has said some nasty things about Beck.

If anything Fishy happens to Glen Beck, the public will know who ordered it, and where the orders came from, the Obama White House.

Imagine the outcry if the Bush White House had called Olbermann to complain while he was on the air!

Whatever you might think of Bush, at least he has class, something you could never say about Obama.

That is a point that Glen needs to point out on his show, and have Rush, Mark Levin to expose that web sight that follows him and his family around.
Better yet, the leaders of the Washington Tea Party should address this at the main event in Washington on September 12, ....
Jim Rob ? is there anyway that you can contact the leaders of the Tea Parties and address this issue at the main event of the Washington Tea Party ?
