Gee, we wonder why Glenn Beck is so touchy about examinations of his past
Glenn Beck seems to be irked at the people digging into his past. But then, that's because his past is truly a disgusting thing to behold. I wouldn't want people looking at it either, if mine were anything remotely like Beck's.
He ranted about it last night on his Fox News show. He thinks we should be paying more attention to his phony "scandals" than to just what kind of character we're watching implore us to seek greater moral goods (as he sees them) every night.
He's no doubt thinking of Alexander Zaitchik's impressive three part series in Salon, the first of which does indeed point out that his mother's death remains a mystery -- and that Beck's own later assertion that it was a suicide was a peculiar event.
It was an incredibly revealing series -- particularly this nugget from the second part, describing Beck's antics when he had a falling out with a former radio-show partner named Bruce Kelly, who became a competitor in the Phoenix market. Beck was known as "the king of dirty tricks," including an invasion of Kelly's wedding.
The animosity between Beck and Kelly continued to deepen. When Beck and Hattrick produced a local version of Orson Welles' "War of the Worlds" for Halloween -- a recurring motif in Beck's life and career -- Kelly told a local reporter that the bit was a stupid rip-off of a syndicated gag. The slight outraged Beck, who got his revenge with what may rank as one of the cruelest bits in the history of morning radio. "A couple days after Kelly's wife, Terry, had a miscarriage, Beck called her live on the air and says, 'We hear you had a miscarriage,' " remembers Brad Miller, a former Y95 DJ and Clear Channel programmer. "When Terry said, 'Yes,' Beck proceeded to joke about how Bruce [Kelly] apparently can't do anything right -- about he can't even have a baby."
You have to wonder if Kelly contemplated returning the favor when Beck's second daughter was born with cerebral palsy.
But then, he'd have been forced to sink to the level of Glenn Beck to have done something like that.
it would be OK. But don't blame Mom.

The Protestant term is disfellowship, but Mormons see themselves as preceding both Catholic and Protestants with what they call the Apostacy of the Church, and use the term Excommunication.
With Catholics it's practically being sentenced to hell, and in traditional Catholics communities even the loss of rights. They even excommunicated whole villages, especially if they refused to put to death the Inquisitions "Heretics and Witches," or simply wanted to review the evidence for themselves, but then it was called an interdiction.

I'm Boycotting NewsCorp! Heres what not to buy: http://www.cjr.org/resources/index.php?c=news...
of a couple of 12-year-old girls back in the '90.
There's a web-page and everything.
I have never heard him deny it, so it must be so...
I too have heard this. He raped, murdered, and ate the hearts of -- how many was it? -- prepubescent girls... ...according the some sources. What is troubling about this is, try as I might, I can not disprove that Beck did these things. I've tried! But, if Beck is innocent, why doesn't HE provide the proof?
Now, the question is, did Beck also murder his mother? If not, why doesn't he want to talk about it? What is he trying to hide? Did you see the way he pounded on the desk at the mere mention of his mother? Is that the way he killed her? With his fists? That's what... ... some sources... ... say.
Sadly, I can admit that I'm the type of person who would have done just that. It's mean but, I'm often so outraged at the depths some people can sink to that I'd have gotten my revenge by trashing his poor daughter. People like him only respond to the same garbage they put out. This is why I suggested here on this site the other day that when Bill Kristol slammed Obama for not getting the Olympics, that he should spend more time with his father. The fact that he died a couple of weeks ago was not lost on me.
I like that, rocksteady! I'm stealin' that.
Old military cadence.

Ann "Clipped" Coulter
I always wonder when the fuck "daddy Glenn" has time to spend with his kids. Do they even know what he looks like? Except on T.V.?
and this was particularly troubling. You really, really have to wonder about the mental health of a person that could make a phone call like that to anyone who had just lost a baby. The cruelty is so over-the-top and then you would have to wonder about the management of the radio station that would allow such a "prank" and the audience listening that would find this entertaining. Anyone that can revel and delight in another's personal misery has some serious personality issues. I can't imagine under what circumstances this could ever be construed as funny.

I understand Beck sees himself as a glorified clown. Perhaps he is, but cruelty is NOT funny. If this is what Beck deems funny, he is truly a sociopath.
I would be in jail.
"all's fair in love and war" when he repeating abused an obese advice DJ in a different time slot. For no reason.
I think looking at his past bothers Beck not because of the cruelty he has committed (that wouldn't bother him) but because a. he's in it for the attention, pure and simple and has been even before his "redemption" and b. there was a time when he didn't get the ratings. That's a time he wants to forget.
This article really shows what a shameless POS he is and has been since forever.
So if you want to hurt Beck, remind him of the time he lost the ratings war in TX. And he hates being ignored by his competitors.
Remember how he kept hinting to SNL to "do him"?
Have you heard he is a serial rapist? I understand he hasn't publicly denied it, so it must be true.

Using the tragedy of his mother's death or his daughter's illness to score points really isn't cool, no matter what he has done that has been far worse.
Louisville Lawyer
Next thing you know, we're going to be using the common noun "holocaust" to describe the deaths of millions for lack of health care insurance. If we don't learn to check in with authority before speaking...
As much of a douche as Beck is, the story about his mother is unnecessary. Really we're just stooping to his level when we echo stories like that.
Really we're just stooping to his level when we echo stories like that.
----
Then for now we stoop to his level. Maybe when Fox News' anchors are terrified of having their own tactics employed against them they'll actually stop using them. Do you or anyone else here honestly think they will stop before it comes to that?
Not sure. Do you take the same approach to war?
on the context of a given situation. I am of the mindset that people like Beck are undeserving of our restraint or fair play. To them it's a war, so why should we act any differently?
and why should we be practicing GROUPTHINK? I don't believe most of us are going to, no matter how many scolds we inevitably meet at blogs.
Defensive rights always trump offensive rights. Glenn Beck is attacking our country, not to mention lying to distort what my union, SEIU, does. The filthy play in the dirty. We have to muck it up with them. Is it a fantastic thing? No--but it's necessary. People who lie and lie and taunt and insult won't fight with their brains. We are shoveling sand against the tide if we fight them with ours.
you guys would just send some of your thugs to beat him up.

I’ve been playing chess a bit lately. I’m not that good, but have been learning. If these tactics were a chess game I would sum it up as follow:
Attacking Glen on his level is the equivalent of trading equal pieces. Trading pieces it OK if it gives you a positional benefit, but if not, you shouldn’t do it. Glen’s weakness is his cruelty. There he is exposed, so line up your pieces to attack him on that. Glen makes wild moves. Sometimes they are dangerous, but most of the time they are foolish. Don’t go chasing the edge of the board – stay in the middle where you control more area. Finally, Glen has no end-game. He’s spread too thin to do anything once his pieces are lost. Glen will self-destruct in the end.
(Just an analogy – take it for what it’s worth)
I appreciate the analogy and I play chess too.
My point is the story about his mother does nothing to advance the case against him or even make him look worse. It may even draw sympathy towards him and increase his popularity through repetition of a previously unknown anecdote.
Now King me.
"I mean Romney is the most conservative on illegal immigration and I don't think Ronald Reagan could get elected in California today."
Ann "Clipped" Coulter
LOL - check - you're Kinged.
I agree.
And it's not stooping to his level.
Beck himself has spoken about his mother's alleged suicide a bunch of times. He brought it up first. If he hadn't done that, or if he'd told the truth, it wouldn't have been an issue.
This is a guy who decades after the fact, decided to start telling the public, on-air, that his mother's death was a suicide rather than the accidental death the police report and everything else had indicated prior to then. His ex-wife says she never heard him call it a suicide.
the mom story is an example of how even his mother's memory is not sacred and how far he will go to manipulate his audience.
Hey Beck lovers, Clydie Clyde is laughing at you!
that ALL of you are forgetting:
IT'S FUN!
And it beats the hell out of getting ulcers waiting for this fuck to implode. Maybe we'll get him so angry he'll have a stroke. Ever think of that?

Ronald Reagan pillar of virtue,divorced his first wife but not before
he cheated on her with his second wife Nancy.
Wow this guy could have been a Democrat..... oh that's right he was a

Beck's hero was a shill just like Beck.
Add this to you powerpoint:
While real Hollywood he-men volunteered for active duty dring WWII, Ronnie spent the war "in costume" making movies on a comfy soundstage back home.
Saint Ronnie was also the only American president to have worn a Nazi uniform.
.
If he could had gotten away with it. He wore the uniform in a WWII movie (the name escapes me)he played an American soldier disguised as a Nazi, but the image exists on celluloid.
the a**hole did not even know where he was. I wager he was senile by the time he was done driving Cali to the ground.
you need to read about w.r. Hearst, and otis chandler, newspaper guys in the early 1900's. they did the same thing rupert murderdoch is doing. only rupert has a 24 hour slimefest. these cartoons are only tools for the 1 percenters in this country that needs to keep the little guy down. we have an oligarchy now not a republic. beck, klanity, billo, and the rest of the reichwing noise machine. they scream about acorn which go about 50 million over ten years, yet they never mention the major defense contractors who have lied about money paid to them by the govt. and have been sanctioned to the tune of billions.....
the illiteracy of this country is astounding and getting worse. only someone who doesn't read or watch anything but fox is going to be a tool for rupert.
even when they know its a lie, they will expand on it.
or the slow demise of a wreck of a man into madness. Clearly, Beck is mentally ill and needs to be taken off the air and placed in some sort of institution. The sooner, the better.
"Egotism is the anesthetic that dulls the pain of Stupidity" - Frank Leahy
I also think that exposing him for who he is, is paramount to having him STFU and get the help he needs. The man's a f*ckwad! and I feel sorry for his kids. Seriously having a father than unhinged has to be a trial each and every day...
so he can pay for his treatment out of pocket. His HMO denied him a while back, something about a pre-existing condition...
So technically, he is both: a great actor, who is going mad.
can we move on now? this guy is irrelevant.
"Can we move on now' is the standard crappy line of those who can't explain or defend the actions of smegs like Gkenn Beck.
A fuckface with a following of gun-toting hayseeds who look to him as their commander-in-chief and are completely capable of killing innocent folk if he provokes them enough.

BECK: So here you have Barack Obama going in and spending the money on embryonic stem cell research, and then some, fundamentally changing – remember, those great progressive doctors are the ones who brought us Eugenics. It was the progressive movement and it science. Let’s put science truly in her place. If evolution is right, why don’t we just help out evolution? That was the idea. And sane people agreed with it!

because otherwise you'd be playing his own slimy game.
And of course, there is almost NO evidence of his involvement.
But he's never DENIED it, so ya gotta figger...
Someone to look into the whereabouts of Glenn Beck the day his mother died.
But he's also a brilliant "populist" demagogue, with a vocal, and growing following, and an apparently permanent forum/pulpit from which to project his "demagaguery" (stet)... He should not be "misunderestimated."
Checkers.
When all the smoke clears, Glenn Beck and Fox News won't even be there. Just Rupert Murdoch playing with his nasty toys.
Yeah, Glenn, so it was all fun and delightfully cruel until you finally had kids and developed perspective. Hey Beck, tough shit. I'm sure Michael Vick would like to un-kill a bunch of dogs, too. But as a broadcaster, once you play those sick games they become part of your story. Take it like a man, bucko, you've earned it.

That is the problem, it's Rupert Murdoch.. Murdoch puts all these assholes on the air because there is a market in this country for this type of crap. It's all business. If Murdoch's News Corps starts losing advertisers and his bottom line is impacted, his programming will also change. They know how to do it in Britain, pull ALL advertising off of News Corps programming, not just Beck's show. If more corporations do this, you will see a change.
Beck should be arrested for his part in creating the "Morning Zoo" format. I hope there is a special section of the burning lake reserved for those folks. I'm not surprised Clear Channel gave Dreck his first big breaks...
Before enlightenment - chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment - chop wood, carry water.
"In 1996, while working for a New Haven-area radio station, Beck was admitted to Yale University through a special program for non-traditional students. One of his recommendations for admittance came from Senator Joe Lieberman."
I found this while looking for a list of stations Beck has worked at. Why am I not surprised to see LIEberman helping someone like Beck?
You didn't finish reading. He never completed a semester.
with the same game plan. Play on people's base emotions of fear and anger and use it for your benefit.

that there is sufficient to insinuate about that makes the situation
insouciant.

Jaysus, no.
The implication is that he transformed her accidental death into a suicide in order to make his "personal reclamation" story sound better.
Beck is going to be found dead in a gutter, a victim of the hate he spews every day. Justice indeed.
So there's speculation that Beck's mother committed suicide?
I don't see how anyone could listen to him rave for thirty seconds and not do the same.
I think his show constitutes torture, under the Geneva Convention.
kills herself in movies about a devil's child. Maybe that's what happened. She couldn't live with the guilt of what she had done.
Or maybe he "apparently can't do anything right. Not even keep his mother from killing herself.

WWWhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaa..what a whimpering, piece of garbage. IF the WWhhaaammmbulance hasn't been called - don't bother.
.. death and there is nothing to suggest it was anything other than an accident. If there was a suicide note as Blehck suggests, it was not given to the investigating police dept.
The evidence appears overwhelming that Blehck just made this up to play on the sympathies of his viewers, thinking no one would ever look into this.
I did learn that he has much in common with his Mother. Both were/are manic-depressives with drug and alcohol problems that lead to self-destructive tendencies.
