Glenn Beck Learns The Hard Way That NYC "Hates Conservatives"

DToTheJ

DToTheJ

A night at the theater - okay, the park - turned ugly for Glenn Beck as he and his family were mocked by a person who was not very fond of Beck and his kind.

The next day, he "railed against New Yorkers" on his radio show. (Too bad New York radio listeners couldn't hear it, eh? Ranks right up there with how he described Philadelphia as "unsafe" around the time his Philly station dropped his show.)

if it indeed happened the way he said it did the dislike for beck and his views is no excuse for kicking wine down his wifes back.

whatever beck says on the radio is no excuse for public bullying and kicking wine on a persons back.
 
Geeeeeez...cry me a river Beck.

My fav quote was when he said his wife said "ya know, if it was a bunch of conservatives and we were liberals, the conservatives wouldn't behave this way". LOL

Perhaps she should become familiar with her husband's core audience! They give "mob mentality" a fresh face.

Here's an idea Glennnnn, stop being so dangerously divisive, and people won't react to you this way.

And no, I don't believe someone kicked wine onto his wife's back. Why? Because Beck said they did. THAT reasoning would probably even stand up in a court of law now.
 
i am not a supporter of beck.nor am i a hater.i have watched him on tv and listened to him on the radio from time to time and decide if i want to agree with him or not.

beck may have told the story right or not.but unless beck stood on his feet and railed against liberalisn the spot in the park or something like that the crowd not just letting the beck family enjoy the movie was wrong.being a mob mentality is not right even if becks audiance is has a mob mentality.a mob mentality is wrong no matter who the mob is.

it is not about right or left, concervative or liberal , democrat or republican it is about civil behavior.

if you don`t like beck, fine.get through on his show and tell why you don`t like him.start a boycot moment to get him off the air.don`t harrass him and his family when he goes out in public.two wrongs don`t make a right.it may be wrong what beck says on the air.it is also wrong for a crowd to not just let beck and his family enjoy the evening.

if it is ok in our nation to act like that reguardless of polotical afiliation things are very wrong.

Geeez...no offense but you sound like such a liberal. Sorry, but Glenn reaps what he sows.

I have ZERO sympathy for Beck due to the way he carries-on, on his TV and radio shows. Sorry his family was caught in the middle, but that is all part of what Beck has to consider when he practices such extreme divisiveness in the type of dangerous rhetoric he engages in. ZERO sympathy. You do not operate in a vacume.

I for one am not unsympathetic because I may not agree with Beck; I am unsympatheic because Beck is horribly misleading the worst kind of mentalities out there and I fear for the safety of his targets. You can't hurt the people Beck hurts and then cry foul when some mud splashes on your own family. Tough luck, bub. Maybe next time you'll think BIG PICTURE and realize there are consequences to your actions.

Here's an idea: Be a more responsible broadcaster.

Do you really think that being "a more responsible broadcaster" (however you want to define that, it's kinda nebulous)
would stop one obvious nutjob who wanted to make a statement,
one nutjob who most likely does not listen to his show and only hears about it
from their liberal friends who only hear about it from their liberal friends, from being a nutjob?

It sounds good in theory, but in practice, it won't make any difference when it comes to nutjobs.

For instance: Justin Bieber was thrown to the ground by someone last week, and he didn't even say anything bad about anybody.
 
jas, do i understand right?beck causes mob mentality which is a bad thing?a terrible thing right? yet a mob mentality against him is ok because it is against him?

am i the only one who can see how inconsistant that is?

is it liberal to have the attitude that the way to combat ideas you disagree with is through political discussion not harrasing the person you dislike because of what they say in a harrasing mob act in a park.if their behavior is correct we are so screwed up in our society.

sometimes both sides are wrong in the way they do things.
 
Only 2 more chances to cry on TV

He's taken-aback that, after acting like an ------ on TV, people treat him like one in person?

And how about the video of him weeping on radio?
The punchline -- without attribution to John Lennon -- is "all you need is love?"
Please.

Sorry, I don't believe in taking the "high road" when dealing with irresponsible idiots like Beck. Sometimes you have to lower yourself to their level long enough to speak their language...and communicate to them: "ENOUGH".

Maybe, just maybe, he'll think twice next time before conjuring up some other boogie man, recklessly placing some poor slob in the crosshairs of his crazed legion.

We radio/TV people are so isolated from reality sometimes, that it's all too easy to become carried away with your own BS. Maybe some more public shunning is just what Beck needs to wake him up.

And after all, those people Beck complained about were just exercizing the same free speech rights that Beck uses to justify his pathetic carnival sideshow.

Again, cry me a river.

last word on this from me.people who act like beck did because what beck did are no better then beck.
 
Glenn Beck was probably overexaggerating some of it, but there's no call for dumping wine on someone, then yelling at another individual about a third group of people. That has nothing to do with "free speech." It only reveals a lack of self-control that is too often prevalent these days.

So if I see, say, Michelle Obama, and can spill some drink on her, then I can yell at President Obama about whatever associations and groups he belongs to (or at least I think he belongs to)?

If you take the low road, you're taking the low road. That's your choice, and it's hard to get off that road once you start down it.
 
There is NOTHING wrong with lowering yourself to someone's level if it gets the point across and potentially results in someone being more responsible.

Beck deserves NO consideration. He is reckless and irresponsible. Would I razz Becks family? Absolutely not. Do I care that others may be making Beck realize the error of his ways by busting his families chops? No, I don't.

I would also NEVER intentionally mislead millions of people using FEAR. That's unforgivable and Beck, as I said, deserves NO consideration.

Beck is a publicity hound, always has been. He knows EXACTLY what he's doing and he's also capable of changing it. Maybe he's doing some real thinking this week. If he isn't, he should be.

There is nothing wrong with lowering yourself, except that it lowers yourself.
And, of course, the fact that it is you lowering yourself to your perception of their level, which in a lot of cases makes you come off as "a nutjob" and you've really got nothing to gain, because even irresponsible people do not typically listen to nutjobs.
 
RE: "Beck deserves NO consideration."

<< He is reckless and irresponsible. >>

Ya THINK?

But like this goon Boortz, it's that-muted-trombone-when-the-grown-ups-talk-in-Charlie Brown Christmas.

To those-who-decide-what-gets-cleared, it's the prevailing conventional wisdom Talk Radio blah blah blah.

When I was a young radio guy, The Boss was someone-my-age who probably hated all the Top 40 music that was making-him-money. But -- like righty Talk Radio's prevailing narrative today -- "it's that rock music...the kids like it."

And none of that absolves Beck of responsabilty for the sheer nonsense that he espouses. So when any of them, in this case Beck, are called out, humilated or booed out of a venue for what they do, I couldn't care less.

Ain't it great to have freedoms!
