Politics: Someone’s spreading vicious Glenn Beck rumors with domain names

  • Notice: This site is parody/satire. We assume Glenn Beck did not rape and murder a young girl in 1990, although we haven’t yet seen proof that he didn’t. But we think Glenn Beck definitely uses tactics like this to spread lies and information.
  • A note at the bottom of GlennBeckRapedAndMurderedAYoungGirlIn1990.com (that’s a mouthful) • A site designed to spread vicious rumors and lies about everyone’s favorite unintentional comedian. We’re not sure if we particularly like the idea of this site, but we do find it interesting as all get-out. What a bizarre freaking name for a Web site. (Update: It’s inspired by this.) We just like saying it because it’s so over-the-top. • source

Politics: Max Headroom has an oligarhy on hilarious Glenn Beck clips

  • Glenn hates “oligarhy” The best part of this video is the fact that he totally gave himself an out for misspelling the word, but only ended up misspelling it worse. He has big ratings, but someone give this man a dictionary.

  • Glenn feels bullied Beck seems like he’s on the edge in this video, reading a list about the names he’s been called. Even better, his shrink compares his critics to coke users. It’s like he’s going crazy live on air.

  • Glenn’s pickup line An oldie but a goodie. Back during his Headline News days, he chatted with correspondent Dina Sansing about an “American Idol” naked picture scandal, and asked to take naked photos of her. Classy.

Politics: When Sarah Palin says something, it inexplicably becomes news

  • FOX News’ Glenn Beck is doing an extraordinary job this week walking America behind the scenes of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and outlining who is actually running the White House. Monday night he asked us to invite one friend to watch; tonight I invite all my friends to watch.
  • Sarah Pa … SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP … lin (sorry, we don’t know what came over us) • Discussing the fate of Glenn Beck and offering her support. Palin has become that rare politician who doesn’t have to have an elected office to have a huge impact in the media. Literally, she puts something on her Facebook page, and all of a sudden, it’s news. Man, we wish we could do that. • source

Politics: Glenn Beck’s political ramblings: Not even Wal-Mart likes them

  • Wal-Mart, CVS, Best Buy and many more aren’t advertising with Beck. The Fox News host has a pretty serious issues with advertisers at the moment, weeks after calling Barack Obama a “racist” on his show, causing ColorOfChange.org to start a campaign against him. The list of advertisers is shrinking fast. No word on what the Sham-Wow guy plans to do yet. source

Politics: Jon Stewart nails Glenn Beck on his health care hypocrisy

  • Beyond apparently being racist and losing advertisers, Glenn Beck seems to have flip-flopped entirely on his opinion of health care in the process of switching networks, as Jon Stewart casually notices in this Daily Show segment. Examiner blogger Ryan Witt does Beck a favor and shows he’s slightly more consistent than Stewart claims. However, it’s still a flip. (Unrelated side note: Comedy Central needs to fix their embed codes. They use tables and are necessarily messy.)source

Politics: Lyndon LaRouche makes Glenn Beck look like a pacifist

Obama as a Nazi
  • The pamphlet Today, before we got on the D.C. Metro at Chinatown, we noticed that the usual Nation of Islam-types in front of the station were joined by people handing out pamphlets for the Lyndon LaRouche political action committee. And, boy, that pamphlet was a bag of crazy. He’s a crackpot, but this time he crossed the line. And we’re concerned that it’s actually getting traction. source

  • What’s inside? The cover features the photo above, a clearly-photoshopped image of Obama designed to make him look like a Nazi. And the text only sells it more: “We must emphasize the fact of his adopting a virtual carbon-copy of the Adolf Hitler health-care policies, later judged to be genocide, of September 1, 1939,” LaRouche writes. This is just evil. source

  • Our take LaRouche affiliates with the Democrats, but they don’t want him. This is why. This pamphlet argues for racism, hate, and the worst corners of our society. And based on this Google Image Search, it’s getting far too much currency. On the plus side, he’s almost 90. He’ll be dead soon, and hopefully this bile will go away along with him. source

Biz, Politics: The campaign to kill Glenn Beck’s advertisers is kinda working

  • Former advertisers
    1. State Farm
    2. Lawyers.com
    3. Procter & Gamble
    4. Progressive
    5. S.C. Johnson
    6. GEICO
    7. Men’s Wearhouse
    8. Sargento
    Beck’s advertiser list has been cut significantly after an orchestrated campaign to attack the Fox News talk-show yakker for comments like those in the video above. And it’s had an effect. Thanks to left-leaning organizations like Media Matters taking Beck to task for racist and/or below-the-belt attacks on Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi, these advertisers are now out.source
