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.
You’re welcome.
>>they need to be posted often.
And thanks.
FYI: It's still up on his Twitter page:
Way to go Freepers. Thank you! You look out for “the folks” better than Ted Baxtor’s alter ego at Fox News!
What a new low they reach. I remember Glenn Beck talking about drinking problems before he sobered up. At least he admitted to his problems and is now sober.
LOL and you do it so well.
Which would not bother Mizzz Huffinpuff or any of her lefty friends one bit.

Ten years at hard labor if I was the judge.
You so totally rock, kristinn! Thank you!
EAGLES UP !!!
Definitely ROCKING there, friend!
Glenn Beck:
First they ignore you.
Then they try to destroy you.
Then you win!
John the Baptist was not the one to bring the people to God ... he was the voice in the wilderness announcing the coming of The One who would.
I'm not surprised, and yet I am... This "freedom of speech is only for Liberals" crap infuriates me.
Glen Beck has highlighted this article on his new website.

Soros' money, I'm sure.
10 hours later since you posted that link, and that article is STILL linked there at the NY Observer!
That’s the lil’ problem Friedlander et al have. Articles like this tend to live on forever on the internet. It should come back to really bite them HARD in a court of law!
Mega LOLs!!
Thanks, Kristinn!
More and more the leftists getting more evil....what a horrid piece to put on the internet.
Those that does that every where, the internet, radio, and, TV Are vulgar group
