Glenn Beck is very much not a fan of Newt Gingrich. If anyone didn’t yet know that from this interview, he made it very clear Saturday on Fox Business Network when he alleged that Gingrich was so similar to President Obama in his “progressive” ways, that the only reason Tea Partiers would like him over the President would be because of his race. Unsurprisingly, this has caused some anger. Even less surprisingly, one of those angry voices is Andrew Breitbart, a man who is very much not a fan of Glenn Beck.
Breitbart appeared on the Victory Sessions podcast and slammed Beck for, as his BigGovernment site put it, “pulling the race card” on the Tea Party. However, the Beck/Breitbart beef goes back a far way and one could tell this had as much to do with a heated, longstanding grudge as with the Tea Party comment.. In fact, Breitbart only discussed that comment briefly before moving on to a list of the many slights he feels he’s received from Beck. He accused Beck of throwing him under the bus during the Shirley Sherrod scandal and trash talking him in private while poaching employees to create rival website The Blaze).
This was clearly personal.
“I don’t know what to say because I know it makes me look like a bad guy and I know Reagan’s 11th Commandment, but how many times can you have a baseball bat taken to your rib cage by a gang that have GBTV on your jerseys before you stand up for yourself?
…
This guy has always been about himself. You know, while you’re sitting there watching him talk about the food shortage stuff, he doesn’t tell you this ties to the Mormon Church. He doesn’t talk to you about his investors. He doesn’t tell you that they’re paying for him to create a crisis. He always talks about Cloward-Piven and how Rahm Emanuel said ‘Don’t let a good crisis go to waste,’ but creating a hysteria that there’s going to be food storages because of chaos that is coming – he is profitting off this as well. There is a financial stake for him with food storage companies that advertise on his site. This guy is a huckster. He’s always been a huckster. It was only a few years ago that he was a shock jock, that he was a morning zoo guy. And he’s been taking people’s content for years and not crediting it.”
At the end of the interview, the podcast’s host Stephen K. Bannon put it explained that this seemed to be something that “comes from [Breitbart's] heart” and that might be an understatement.
Very well put. I am so going to steal this line. ;)
My God, what a simpleton you are.
"I just discovered within the last three weeks that Glen Beck went on the air and actually attacked Shirley Sherrod. He sliced up the video and kept out the part that I had in there where she said 'it's not about blacks vs whites, it's about rich vs poor.' And so, he lied. Glenn Beck has a new motto called 'truth has not agenda' and he lies in order to cover his butt and he threw me under the bus in the process and I'm sorry if people don't like infighting but my name and my integrity is everything."
"Um, look, I want an apology from him. I want him to recognize that he did some serious damage to me and my reputation by creating the false impression that I was responsible for slicing out something that I kept in. He was the one. He needs to take responsibility for his actions, especially since he has a new motto that he's using to try and seperate himself from other right media entities like mine called "the truth has no agenda". I am simply telling the truth, and I'm asking him to own up to truth and what happened with Shirley Sherrod."
Thank you for that work.
You are very correct Glenn has endorsed Michelle Bachman, and she
Is NOT morman.
Did you listen to that on the air?
I remember that Breitbart was upset at Beck. By slicing and dicing what Breitbert exposed he dulled the impact of Sherrod. And that would help the Obama Administration.
That makes me wonder about Beck. Would a second term for Obama help Beck personally, professionally and politically?
You can take your name calling over to DU.
Supporting homosexual groups is not conservative.
Do you have anything else to say to me?
“Andrew Breitbart has on the advisory board of GOProud.
He’s not a conservative.”
+1!
Yes. Declaring that a warrior like Breitbart is not a conservative because of his stance on one issue is the stance of a simpleton, if not a complete idiot. When you have done one millionth as much for the conservative cause as Andrew, you can flap your simple minded yap without getting a well deserved beat down.
GB also said if the Tea Party endorsed Gingrich they’d run the risk of being called racists again. I’m not fond of Beck, but Breitbart took the statement out of context. I think GB is nuts to say he’d vote for Paul if Newt is the candidate and I have issues with that part of the statement, but Breitbart loses this pissing match regarding the racist part.
I agree. Sometimes Beck is dead on the money and sometimes he’s a cuckoo bird.
I think Beck really believes the big collapse is coming and frankly so do I. He’s moving to Texas and I’m sure he has a SHTF compound to die for. But Newt Gingrich isn’t going to do anything to make it worse. If anything he might just turn it around. Beck definitely has a wire loose on this one.
Ha, the excuses of all libertines. You need to mature.
He has done more damage to traditional values and the Republican Party than many compromised politician.
You can’t spread evil and then claim to be good.
Ok. I couldn’t recall for sure, but that jogs my memory.
He’s not a conservative.
My bet is he's a more useful conservative than you are.
Here's what he had to say about GOProud:
It is with sincere regret that I announce I must step down as a GOProud advisory member. On numerous occasions I have spoken with [GOProud leaders] Jimmy LaSalvia and Chris Barron of the significant impact the practice of “outing” had in my evolution from the political left to the right. I was under the absolute impression that both agreed. I have a zero tolerance attitude toward the intentional infliction of vocational and family harm by divulging the details of an individual’s sexual orientation as a weapon of political destruction. As an “Advisory Board member” I was not consulted on this extreme and punitive act. Clearly, there are more productive means to debate controversial ideas and settle conflicts. Therefore, I cannot in good conscience stand with GOProud. I still stand by gay conservatives who boldly and in the face of much criticism from many fronts fight for limited government, lower taxes, a strong national defense as well as the other core conservative principles.
The only candidate that I cannot vote for. . . .Is it about Obama's race?. . .It must be about race."Thus spake Glenn Beck who finds the squishy baby-killing Romney delicious.
Glenn Beck, who wanted to slice up Sarah Palin--maybe she'd be another candidate he couldn't vote for.
The supposedly reformed boozer and doper, but unrepentant rabid shock jock beating the End of Times drum.
The Glenn Beck bullhorn: "I'm the true patriot. I come to judge the quick and the dead."
The fanatic unfunny when the take-away is his one true god is profit and cultism.
As for Breitbart, he's channeling Jeff Beck, Because We've Ended As Lovers
Any person or group seeking to topple the Judeo-Christian moral code and glorify sin, which is exactly what GOProud is all about, can never be considered “conservative,” or the term loses all meaning.

I have been warning people on FR about Soros being the most dangerous man in America for well over 10 years!!
While FR remains a, for the most part, a gathering place for good, rational conservatives, there is no doubt there is a growing number of cranks and oddballs, that often make borderline lunatic condemning judgments on good people, based on some goofy tic of their own.
Some of you are not paying attention. Beck has not endorsed Romney. He does not like Romney. At least get your attacks on him correct.
I don't think he has officially endorsed any one, but he has announced his support for Bachmann and/or Santorum as the only true conservatives left in the GOP race.
