Glenn Beck marries FreedomWorks for the dowry
Poor, poor Glenn Beck. Faced with plummeting ratings, advertisers abandoning ship like rats in a storm, and a boss on a tear about the help doing political things, what else is there to do but look for an arranged marriage?
Lucky for Beck, Dick Armey is always on the lookout for a good dirt hill upon which to plant his AstroTurf. Need meets need, and ... a partnership is born. FreedomWorks, meet Glenn Beck. He only slept with Americans for Prosperity a few times ... he's still pure enough for you.
Listen carefully to the very beginning:
BECK: This half-hour is sponsored by FreedomWorks
Then the long explanation of how the elopement happened. From the beginning, I'm guessing the NRA didn't want to sponsor him? Toward the end of his little speech, there's this:
And we must, must, must link arms with people. Everybody plays a different role. My message to you is to shore yourself up personally, with history, with faith, and with your own personal finances. That is my course that I am charting. I’ve got to move away from the political stuff. That is what kept me up last night. But political stuff has got to be done. You have to pay attention. There are things that are happening in Washington that you have to know about. We need the Tea Party protests to continue. We need to organize and reach out to each other. So I want you to go to Freedomworks.org, because freedom works.
See, Rupert already smacked Hannity down, and Beck has a benefit planned for August. Enter FreedomWorks, ready to accept all the Glenn Beck faithful into their fold.
As if they're not there already.

Maybe the Beckerhead is "too big" for the Rupert and Roger to fail him. I wouldn't be suprised if he was running FOX Theatre, in a year or two if they let him.

beck and dick, just two douche bags.
Don't you mean Beckerhead and Dickhead?
Of course, those Faustian deals never work out too well, do they? Poor Glenn. ;)
I've never seen change without a fire
I wish Becky didn't want to send ANY messages to ANY of us...
He sure seems edgy. Very unpleasant.

after being surprised by the giant Beck face on this post.
And has the money....the others won't pay....
So Beck won't endorse.....
oh wait! He already tried partnering with them. Guess it didn't work out so well for either one.
Corporate Fascist sponsored, grass-roots movements?
You can't make this stuff up.
Rush Limbaugh is what a smart person thinks a stupid bigot sounds like.
No , you can't .LOL
I know Beck is a favorite topic here, and rightly so, but is a life-size Beck mug really necessary? Honest to Jebus -- I'd rather see frame grabs from Wilfred Brimley's colonoscopy.

It's like that nightmarish 60 foot "Stay Puffed" Marsh-Mellon Man in Ghost Busters. Beckerhead needs to be purged of evil, corporate spirits.

I wonder if Ailles and Murdoch realize that while they were building their empires for all those years, Beck was at home wetting his couch.
Now he's taking them down, only to follow them on their sleigh ride to hell.

and instead, he has to settle and marry FreedomWorks for the dowry.
It's ok, Glenn'll do anything for money. Any media whore will. Just look at Rush, Sean, Savage, Coulter, etc.
you summed it up nicely .
This vanity rally that Beck is planning is being held with the willing assistance of a veteran's charity...the Special Operations Warrior Foundation...Beck has been holding an online auction for the group, and encouraging his viewers to buy stuff from his own website...all proceeds go to the SOWF with the caveat that the charity gets none of the money until Beck's rally expenses are paid for. That should run oh, about 1 1/2 to 2 million dollars according to Beck himself.
So...Beck is hosting a "fundraiser" for some veterans that allows him to stage a free rally, and his fans can make tax deductable donations to stage the thing?
Beck calls this thing "Restoring Honor"....more like Beck "Borrowing" or buying the honor of others.
I think it is just grotesque.
Glenn Beck - a trainwreck of a human being.

he is every bit as bad as newt. But gell all repubs are scum. They can't help it.
Glenn Beck, lying racist reviser of history, exchanged vows of totally-heterosexual matrimony with right-wing astroturf organization FreedomWorks yesterday. It was the second marriage for Beck, who is still married to his first wife but encouraged by his Mormon faith to wed as often as he pleases. The ceremony was attended by FreedomWorks father Dick Armey and a large crowd of morans. The couple then left for their honeymoon in the oily swamps of Louisiana.

No doubt Beck is a media whore and he's capitalizing on the dim wits in this country just like Sarah , the mother of all air heads , but I do believe this guy is friggin nuts and that it's not all an act .

At the start of his little 9/12 Project I remember a caller on his AM radio show bringing up the DC 9/12 rally. I remember Beckerhead asking his flunkies if they were affiliated at all with the 9/12 DC rally group.
Well, he is now! I would kind of like to hear that hideous episode again as I think he only offered the 9/12 dc rally tacit endorsement at best. I remember he was really pushing his 9/12 principles and ideals and really sounded like he was trying to grab money from the 9/12 Project. I think he even hinted at finding out if it was really happening and if the 9/12 Project was his trademark... Maybe that was why they started calling themselves Tea Baggers, because they would have to TeaBag Beck...:)
