The Huffington Post has pulled an article published this morning targeting Glenn Beck with a $100,000 bounty after news of the threat was broken on Free Republic.
The article, titled $100,000 For Glenn Beck's Sex Tapes has been replaced with the following message:
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 URL for the pulled article reflects the title: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/beau-friedlander/100000-for-glenn-becks-se_b_698724.html
The author of the threat, Beau Friedlander, is the former editor-in-chief of Air America.
Here is the text of Friedlander's call for information to destroy Beck:
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.
The Free Republic article was posted at 9:19 a.m. EDT, and was immediately picked up by several Tweeters and bloggers who used the Free Republic headline without attribution or just plain stole the article from FR.
The news about the Huffington Post threat reached critical mass when it was reported by Newsbusters.
Free Republic has proven yet again that its value in the conservative blogosphere even as FR enters its 14th year online next month.
these people need to be exposed for their hatred and intolerance.
It is simply disgusting that they have tried to smear him, close him down and now this.
Then we have a man called president backing this intolerant site
Could you imagine the uproar if Beck was assassinated and monies actually changed hands for it? The left media would go into an unrecoverable tailspin.
Good job FreeRepublic!
Can the leftist slimeballs go any lower? Just when you think can’t, they find a new low.
Please Screen shot grab the comment page - it’s still up over there for the original article that was pulled.
And regardless of it having been taken down, the word is out now and the Huffington minions are hard at work. The flying moneys have been dispatched.
What, hypothetically speaking, 20-24 death threats on Beck himself prior to Restoring Honor? Personal security among the best in the world?
And the Demos paper to direct supporters and partner employees to infiltrate websites to specifically spread disinformation, a la Cass Sunstein, conveniently reported by English, indymedia & PrisonPlant of all places—i.e., web sites most folks WON’T read from the US?
Good work ferreting that out and posting it here. My guess—they didn’t want their tactics to backfire on them. Many over there, including Ms. H. herself, could very well have their own skeletons closeted away.
Excellent work.
They have editorial standards......Who knew? ;^)
His task would be easier if he targeted Al Franken, but does anyone really need to see an Al Franken sex tape? Ick!
Considering the Huffington ties to the White House, I’m betting the money will come from “stimulus” money.
Beau don't know jack!
PING!
Thanks once again for turning on the kitchen light so the American people can see the cockroaches scurry about.
In the meantime, no one has collected the $10,000 from Brietbart proving racist behavior at the TEA Party.
Kudos !

The defunct Air America still smells bad. Friedlander must have a lot of time on his hands.
