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.
Yup.
No, ma’am. Homey don’ do toilets...or windows! lol
BTW, hi!
Well of course...she's a Republican. Beck told us he hates Republicans.
But wait!
Wouldn't that mean he hates Romney too?
Beck is making a good point. There is a method to his madness. The question is how did we get to this place where it is a choice between a Gerald Ford and a Nixon like candidate? There is no reason to shoot the messenger. Also the anti-Paul stuff is a little much. I don’t care for his foreign policy but then again has what we’ve been doing been working so well? When did the Tea Party become the defender of the status quo? I disagree with Savage that Romney is better than Gingrich and I disagree with Beck that Newt is the same as Romney. My primary worry with Newt is penchant for self destruction and sticking his head down ‘rabbit holes’.
Newt could surprise but he still strikes me as a Nixon-like candidate. Right now I’m hoping Bachmann will get some traction but till then I’m pleased to see someone crushing Romney. Once he is gone we can start worrying about how to get rid of Newt. :-) Alot can change, Newt’s advantage now is that he has been attacked and attacked and attacked. Even the left is struggling because its like beating a dead horse come back to life and about to eat your brains. lol
Right now I’m in wait and see mode but I’m counting my blessings. My expectations of Romney’s demise are following along perfectly on schedule. Didn’t think it would be Newt who would undo him and still my intuition still says he won’t be the one.
I respect Beck for his reeducating us on the Founding of America, his expose’ of Soros, of Cloward & Piven and his unmasking of Zero’s czars, etc. When Beck first began his online TV gig I had friends and relatives tell me I ought to sign on for the free trial, etc,. But I just never felt strongly enough about it to do it. When I heard him on the radio this morning make that assinine outrageous statement that he’d vote for Ron Paul rather than Newt I really had to wonder....how can anyone THAT full of crap NOT have BROWN EYES?!
He was saying that she would make a good neighbor, but he wouldn’t pick her for president.
Hi (((((STAR))))))
As a matter of fact, I thought about you sewing today! I just knew that’s what you are doing!!!!! God love you, GF! Miss you!!
As Imus said at the height of the Beck hysteria: “This is not gonna end well.”
Certaintly not me with Soros and Obama together pics all over the internet. ....rolling eyes.
Beck thinks way too highly of himself. He's late to the party, but believes that he's leading the parade.
Agree on all points.
Pot meet Kettle. There are no bigger hucksters than Breitbart and Beck.
When Beck went after Van Jones, I found videos of Jones calling Republicans "a**holes", as well as other damning clips, and posted them, getting tens of thousands of hits, and also found 9/11 "truther" clips on him, which helped lead to his resignation. Breitbart took all the videos, downloaded them, and reposted them himself. Amazingly he actually screwed up on one of them and forgot to remove my logo at the end. I contacted them, and never got a response. Breitbart is a dick.
I helped Beck TREMENDOUSLY during the 'will-he-be-fired-any-day-now?' period at FoxNews, even launching a website - DefendGlenn - to defend him against the boycott. Beck and his people knew all about it. I did several radio interviews about it as well. But not ONCE did they ever email or call me to thank me or respond to a single one of my emails. They had they jerkoff Democrat publicist Mathhew Hilzik send me a thank you email. Beck is a dick.
I quit listening to Beck a couple of months ago.....cancelled my emailings, Blaze and all. I sure miss Pat Gray though. :(
“how did we get to this place where it is a choice between a Gerald Ford and a Nixon like candidate?”
Are you sure about that? Sorry, I didn’t mean to answer a question with another question.
“If you think this next election is going to make a difference in where this country is headed, get back to me in 2014.
The handle has been pulled, and how many swirls we make around the bowl before heading to the septic tank is all we’re talking about.” LOL ! And I agree with you !
I just wish someone else could match Newt's "gift of gab." None of the candidates are perfect but, I can't believe Beck would support Romney. He is a Progressive.
You go Andrew !!!
FUGB!!!! Yuh hack drunk and hapless thief....
Your fairytale existence is over. POS

He is, in effect, endorsing him again by bad mouthing Newt.
He’s a radio guy and great at running his mouth off. It’s gotten him into trouble before.
