By Seth Abramovitch 

What should have been just another interminable conversation between two mind-boggling A-holes took an intriguing turn down Rainbow Alley last night, when Fox News host (and self-loathing Gleek) Glenn Beck accidentally blurted out, "I could kiss you in the mouth" to Rick Santorum on Thursday's show. (It was in response to Santorum saying that he'd signed the "Cut, Cap and Balance" pledge, which is apparently the fiscal conservative equivalent of announcing, "I just scored a pair of Lady Gaga floor seats!")

Beck's social buying site is socialist in nature, no?

Image via WikipediaEmail • Twitter • Facebook • LinkedIn • YouTube

My least favorite human on the planet is getting into the group-buying business.

Conservative Ass Hat Glenn Beck announced he is launching a competitor to Groupon, Living Social and thousands of other sites. Unlike all those other sites, however, Beck's Markdown.com is a place where his "personal slogan and values will be brought to life."

Here's my problem – other than the obvious one involving Beck: Aren't sites like Groupon and Living Social inherently socialist? Think about it. The collective benefits from the discounts offered as long as enough people participate during the allotted time. Granted, the companies are not being FORCED to sell at a discount, but these companies also have a market. They have determined the price they can charge based on the time and effort that goes in to making the product, which is very market driven. Now Beck wants them to throw out these market dynamics and sell at a discount.

It's a stretch, but I hate this guy. I will gladly take any opportunity to fling monkey poo in his direction.

O’Reilly Scolds Beck: ‘If I Was Cindy McCain, I’d Slap The Hell Out Of You’ (Mediaite)

Glenn Beck has gotten nothing but tongue-lashings for his recent theatrical vomiting at the mention of Meghan McCain’s body, and he ended the week with one final slap on the wrist from colleague Bill O’Reilly. While Beck tried to justify his behavior compared to the controversial comments made by rapper Common, O’Reilly had none of it and commended McCain’s mother, Cindy, for striking back at Beck.



“You’re not going quietly into the night,” O’Reilly quipped upon beginning the segment, though he gave Beck some time with a warm-up topic before talking McCain. While O’Reilly objected to Common’s presence at the White House, he candidly gave the President the benefit of the doubt: “I don’t think Barack Obama knows who the hell Common is.” He compared the invitation to the release of conflicting information regarding the killing of Osama bin Laden, aruging that “there’s no one in charge of this stuff. It’s chaos.”

Fox finally dumps Tea Party conservative blowhard Glenn Beck, but for the wrong reasons (New York Daily News)

By Joanna Molloy

April 7th 2011

Good riddance, crowed anybody even slightly left of John Birch Wednesday at the news that Glenn Beck had lost his nightly Fox TV show.

Officially, Beck "intends to transition off of his daily program," both the blowhard and his bosses at Fox said Wednesday.

But the writing was on his chalkboard: The ratings were down - he was pulling in 2.7 million last year at this time, and that number is down below 2 million.

Young viewers were bolting.

And advertising drying up.

In effect, the tea party is over.

‘My Girl’s A Republican’ Rap Song Mines Double Entendre From Every Big Conservative Figure (Mediaite)

November 1st, 2010

It’s an old complaint that you hear all the time: “Political discourse in this country is fascinating…but can you dance to it?” Fortunately, thanks to The Real, you now can. The group has released a new song and video entitled “My Girl’s a Republican” that’s catchy and hilarious enough to keep you dancing all the way to voting booth tomorrow.

The Real is a “hip hop sketch comedy” group (a typical video parodies “The Boy Who Cried Wolf” by using the story of Dr. Dre’s Detox, the rap world’s Chinese Democracy). For the song, they’ve basically taken every conservative figure or scandal from the past few years and mashed them together for a pun and double entendre-filled ode to the character, wiles, and sexual prowess of a sexy Sister Grizzly. It’s accompanied by an equally entertaining video which uses homemade effects, singing Glenn Beck, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and Rudy Guiliani heads to showcase the song in (what appears to be) one take.

Fox News Estimates Jon Stewart’s Crowd at Seven People (Borowitz Report)

Image by TalkMediaNews via FlickrWASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report) – The Fox News Channel reported today that the turnout for Jon Stewart’s “Rally to Restore Sanity” was underwhelming at best, with Fox sources estimating the total turnout at seven people.

“Our total count includes Stewart, [Stephen] Colbert, and what appear to be a few of their friends and relatives,” said Fox anchor Shepard Smith.  “This has to be a smaller crowd than they were expecting.”

Glenn Beck And Bill O’Reilly Spar Over Who The Leader Of America Is (Mediaite)

September 18th, 2010
Whenever Glenn Beck and Bill O’Reilly appear together, it doesn’t take long to find an issue on which they disagree (for example, O’Reilly is not overly concerned about the biblical vermin invading the White House). On last night’s Beck “casual Friday” appearance on The O’Reilly Factor, they delivered their classic banter, this time on why Beck thinks he is not the leader of the Tea Party movement nor Barack Obama the leader of America.

O’Reilly names Beck, along with Sarah Palin, as leaders of the Tea Party movement in his new book, Pinheads and Patriots. Beck first takes issue with calling famous left-wing donation machine and conservative Bogeyman George Soros a “pinhead” (“if Soros is in it,” Beck offers, best to “rename it Angels and Demons”). “You and I are in simpatico on this one,” O’Reilly offers hopelessly, trying to explain the issue is one of semantics. Then Beck reads an excerpt from the book referring to him, and objects to the label “Tea Party leader”– “I’m not leading it.”

Glenn Beck Offers Morning Prayers on the Road to Mending America (BlogTalkRadio.com)

Glenn: Gathering at Abe's feet to protect our freedom.

If you’re among the millions of Americans looking to restore the values upon which our great nation was built, you’ll no doubt want to mark Saturday, Aug. 28 on your calendar.

Because that’s when Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin and the Special Operations Warrior Foundation gather at the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.

There they’ll hold a non- political rally paying tribute to America’s military personnel and other upstanding citizens who embody our Founding Fathers’ principles of integrity, truth and honor.

(Aug. 28 also marks the 47th anniversary of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s historic “I Have a Dream” speech, delivered from that very same location.)

The mission of this event is to recognize First Amendment rights and honor the service members who fight to protect those freedoms.

Fox News host Glenn Beck: Some unemployed 99ers should be ashamed to call themselves American (New York Daily News)

DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER

August 17th 2010

Glenn Beck has a message for the chronically unemployed: You're a bunch of un-American losers.

The Fox News host thinks some 99ers — those who have used up their 99 weeks of unemployment benefits—should be embarrassed to call themselves Americans, the Huffington Post reported.

"Have you heard of the 99ers?" Beck asked on Monday. "Some of these people, I bet you'd be ashamed to call them Americans."

About 1.4 million Americans have been out of work more than 99 weeks, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. That's when unemployment benefits run out in states with the highest unemployment rates.

McGinniss is just doing his job, Sarah (Worcester Telegram)

Image via Wikipedia

dwilliamson@telegram.com

If you listen to Sarah Palin and her somewhat hysterical supporters, you'd think her new neighbor was armed with a pistol instead of a pen.

On Fox News, the pundits have dubbed author Joe McGinniss a stalker, a creep and a threat to Sarah's family. An apoplectic Glenn Beck has called for a boycott of McGinniss' publishing house. And the spinmeister herself, never missing the chance to play victim, once again frames the issue as an unfair attack on her children:

“People have said already, oh, the guy, he has his freedoms too, and he can live wherever he wants to,” Sarah said. “Well, of course he can, and he can do what he wants to do. However, I think any mom, in my position, if they put themselves in my shoes, that they would feel the same way. You do your thing, you keep your distance, and you better leave my kids alone.”

Of course, there's no indication that McGinniss has any designs on Sarah's precious and politically expedient children. But he is writing a book about their mother. And when an opportunity fell in his lap to rent the house next door to his subject, he took it. He's a reporter. He goes where the story is. But I trust he has no interest in catching Sarah mowing the lawn in her underwear.

Too Far: Glenn Beck Mocks Malia Obama On His Radio Show (Mediaite)

May 28th, 2010

For years there’s been debate over whether or not mocking a politician’s family (particularly their children) is fair game. For the most part, political opponents and comedians have kept their swipes at the Chelsea Clintons and the Bush Twins of the world to a minimum. This morning though, Glenn Beck clearly stepped over the line when he began insulting and denigrating 11-year old Malia Obama.

Media Matters reported that Beck spent more than four minutes making fun of the now-infamous “Did you plug the hole yet, Daddy?” quote from Obama’s press conference. While most of Beck’s jokes were aimed at the president himself, one line in particular moved the sights to the young girl:

“That’s the level of their education, that they’re coming to – they’re coming to daddy and saying ‘Daddy, did you plug the hole yet?’”

AUDIO: James Cameron slams Glenn Beck (Hollywood Reporter)

From James Hibberd's The Live Feed:

Below, THR's must-listen audio from Alex Ben Block's interview with James Cameron in which the director discusses the right-wing response to "Avatar's" environmental message and repeatedly slams Glenn Beck.

Cameron calls Beck a "fucking asshole" and says that global warming deniers have "got their head so deeply up their ass I'm not sure they could hear me." And that's just Cameron getting started.

The Beck Factor at Fox: Staffers say comments taint their work (Howard Kurtz)

By Howard Kurtz

Washington Post Staff Writer
March 15, 2010 


NEW YORK
In just over a year, Glenn Beck's blinding burst of stardom has often seemed to overshadow the rest of Fox News.

And that may not be a good thing for the top-rated cable news channel, as many of its staffers are acutely aware.

With his celebrity fueled by a Time cover story, best-selling books, cheerleading role at protest rallies and steady stream of divisive remarks, Beck is drawing big ratings. But there is a deep split within Fox between those -- led by Chairman Roger Ailes -- who are supportive, and many journalists who are worried about the prospect that Beck is becoming the face of the network.

By calling President Obama a racist and branding progressivism a "cancer," Beck has achieved a lightning-rod status that is unusual even for the network owned by Rupert Murdoch. And that, in turn, has complicated the channel's efforts to neutralize White House criticism that Fox is not really a news organization. Beck has become a constant topic of conversation among Fox journalists, some of whom say they believe he uses distorted or inflammatory rhetoric that undermines their credibility.

Thank You, Glenn Beck: Now I Can Call You a Nazi (Newser.com)

by Lewis Grossberger 
Mar 15, 2010

One thing I’ve got to hand Glenn Beck and the Tea Party crowd: They’re making it OK to call someone you disagree with a Nazi.

This is a restriction I’ve chafed under for a long time.

Previously, whenever I felt like yelling “Nazi” (which I frequently do) I’d be stopped short by the realization that a friend or acquaintance would blow the whistle and yell, “Godwin’s Law violation! Ten-yard penalty!”

Godwin’s Law, as you may know, is best misstated as follows: In any political argument, the first person to say “Nazi” loses.

It’s based on the quaint notion that reasonable, civilized people can disagree without resorting to the foulest, most vile imprecations available.

Thank heavens that’s done with.

Giving Context To The Daily Show’s Megyn Kelly Takedown: They Have A Point (Mediaite)

March 4th, 2010

The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart set out last night to prove FNC anchor Megyn Kelly was not as “fair and balanced” as she is purported to be, and in fairly convincing 10-minute segment they made the point loud and clear.

But the Daily Show was edited to prove that point – so we watched the full two-hour America Live today, and frankly, Stewart has a point.

10 jokes about Sarah Palin joining Fox News (TrueSlant.com)

Image via Wikipedia

By David Rees

1. Roger Ailes was interviewing Sarah Palin for a job at Fox News. “According to your resume, you left your last position as Governor of Alaska due to ‘philosophical differences’ with your employer. Could you explain?” “Y’see Mr. Ailes,” said Palin, “I became philosophically opposed to doing actual work instead of flying around in a private jet wearing fancy clothes and basking in the adulation of idiots.” “Oh, I didn’t mean that,” replied Ailes. “I meant, explain how you learned how to spell ‘philosophical.’”

2. A producer was giving Sarah Palin a tour of the Fox News studio. He pointed out the coffee machine, the restrooms, and the temperature-controlled pool where Glenn Beck’s tears are harvested. “Where’s the indoor dog track?” asked Palin. The producer was confused: “Indoor dog track?” “Yeah, I’ve heard dogs panting since I got here,” replied Palin. “Ah,” the producer said, “those aren’t panting dogs; it’s Bill Kristol. It means he’s excited to see you.”

3. Why did Sarah Palin cross the road?
Because there was an opportunity to make an ass of herself on the other side.

Dobbs: 2012 presidential run not "crazy" (Politico.com)

By Glen Thrush

Watch your back, Glenn Beck.

Ex-CNNer Lou Dobbs tells WTOP this morning that he feels "liberated and emancipated" since leaving the network — and he's not ruling out the possibility of running for president in 2012.

When one of the WTOP anchors joked that pundits were floating the crazy idea of the immigration-fixated Dobbs running for president, he shot back: "What's so crazy about that?" — and disclosed that he's talking to advisers to suss out his political options.

"For the first time I'm actually listening to [people who want him to run for office]. ... I don't think I have the nature for it. ... But we've got to do something for this country."
