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.

Satan is getting desperate.

Just to be fair, this isn’t unlike the efforts to reveal the truth about Kerry in ‘04. If Beck is the real deal, the effort will only help him and his cause. If not, the truth may hurt, but it’s better than a lie.
Ariana Huffington is very closely associated with... I don’t really need to say it, now do I? But I will: George Soros.
Guess I was right, if the left is that scared of him.
But seriously, these people are scum.
Maybe we should flood the email addy with all the hypocritical and criminal things that prominent Dems get away with --without naming names. Oops! I didn't say Beck....I was talking about _______.
I guess the Horrington post realizes they can’t win the philisophical argument so they have to resort to smears.
Doesn’t matter, DemocRATS usually release their own sex tapes as a resume enhancer.
There's the key word............
Good point. If a conservative had been stupid enough to say something like this and a liberal talking head, the FBI (or whichever LEO group does that) would be at the guys door the next day asking why he was threatening a public figure.
Yes, they are getting pretty desperate! One of the preachers at Saturday’s God/America/Military Love Rally (3 things liberals hate with a vengeance) commented that he thanked Glenn for organizing the rally and called him ‘a son of God’—I’ve read liberal remarks freaking out over that, saying that conservatives think Glenn is THE Son of God.
Obviously they’ve never read a Bible in their lives, or they would know that one of the names for Christian believes is ‘sons of God’ (and daughters of God) because we are ADOPTED into God’s family with full honors! D’oh.
There are some really sick people out there.
LLS
I think you might start a trend, LOL
Not a fan of RINO Romney’s buddy Glenn Beck. That being said, find it a bit odd that Huffington Post is permitting this given how Arianna spent years hiding her pillow-biting (now ex-) husband in the closet. Wonder how she’d appreciate it if someone offered the same reward for sex tapes from her marital days. And let’s remember those were the good old days when she and her husband claimed to be Republicans.
Excellent point.
They're like nasty, cornered rats.
This crap shows how desperate the libs are. They tried this with Our Sarah-and all it did was to make her stronger.
Libtards have no imagination.
Every single one of us has “something” in our closet that we would rather not have made public. Now, if he’s the current president with an intern under his desk, that’s another matter.
Beck has been pretty honest about his past so whatever they “dig” up will surely be manufactured.
$100K Is that all she can afford?
Shades of Salmon Rushdie, will Beck have to go underground?
This is an offer that will get someone hurt.
