Glenn Beck smears Obama's 11-year-old daughter
Glenn Beck, who repeatedly and angrily tells his alleged persecutors to "leave the families alone," spent a good chunk of his radio program this morning mocking and attacking the intelligence of President Obama's 11-year-old daughter, Malia.

Obama remarked yesterday during his press conference that Malia asked him of the Gulf oil spill: "Did you Plug The Hole Yet, Daddy?" Beck, taking off on this, mockingly affected Malia's voice, asking "Daddy" why he "hates black people so much." Then Beck attacked Malia's intelligence, saying: "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?' "

This routine continued for several minutes, as Beck and his co-hosts touched on a variety of topics and laughed the entire time, all of it at the expense of an 11-year-old girl.

We seriously need a Media Ownership doctrine. No more than 30% of outlets in a region should be controlled by one entity.

Absolutely fucking shameful.

I would say I am disgusted, but you can't be disgusted at something you expect.

3/5 human to Beck.

Edited on Sat May-29-10 08:34 PM by Raine
Well, you're lucky cause it was disgusting and I certainly remember it. :argh: I thought it was referred to during the 2008 presidential campaign regarding the ugly things said about Chelsea. :shrug:

edit: changed word.

Rush Limbaugh: "On his TV show, early in the Clinton administration, Limbaugh put up a picture of Socks, the White House cat, and asked, "Did you know there's a White House dog?" Then he put up a picture of Chelsea Clinton, who was 13 years old at the time and as far as I know had never done any harm to anyone."

saw the rest and glad I didn't. This is disgusting and McCain had the audacity to call somebody ugly. What a piece o' shit.

9. What goes around comes around.
Talking trash about an 11 year old girl on public radio is very unprofessional for a bible thumper like Beck. This will come back to haunt him in some fashion, such as Fox pulling him off the air.

20. Sorry, no links
but I did read that his ratings are dropping rather quickly. Faux news would make more money canning him and getting someone more "popular". This is in no way, me showing support for faux news... hate 'em.

He is on commercial radio. I seriously doubt that NPR or APR or any of the independent public radio stations across the country would touch him!

14. Did you forget the sarcasm tag
Weird bit I was reading in Jonathan Alter's book The Promise last night - according to Alter Rupert Murdoch was so impressed with Obama he was going to endorse Obama. Ailes threatened to walk away from Faux. Murdoch caved and gave McCain early endorsement, gave Ailes a 5 year contract, let Ailes take Faux even more in to RW looney land.

Wonder where the hell Alter got that bit of info.

30. Beck & FreedomWorks
I'm not so sure Freedom Works is going to be an advertising sponsor on his TV show, but whatever they're doing together, it's an unholy alliance. <face palm>

If we all sign up for the fleecing, we'd get a DVD & a souvenir flag for our trip down Astroturf Lane! :crazy:
:rofl:
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0510/37491.html
ANDY BARR | 5/19/10 5:24 PM EDT

Glenn Beck has taken on FreedomWorks as a sponsor and is touting the organization on his radio show as the best suited to unite tea party activists.

- snip -

Beck, an immensely popular figure in the tea party movement, said that his decision to work with FreedomWorks was a “hard decision” because he did not “want to send the message to you that the way to restore our republic is through the political process only.”

But, Beck said, “we need the tea party protests to continue. We need people to reach out to each other.”

So, in order to build the movement, Beck urged his listeners to “go to FreedomWorks.org,” because, Beck said channeling the group’s motto, “Freedom Works.”

“You’re going to get a free DVD that outlines the plan to take America back this November,” Beck’s pitch continued. “You’ll also get a ‘Don’t Tread on Me’ souvenir flag. So well, at least Homeland Security will know where you stand."

- More at above link -



:crazy: :rofl:

15. Best revenge is a life well-lived
Limbaugh did about the same thing to Chelsea Clinton when she was that age, in a routine on his defunct TV show where he talked about how everyone knew the White House Cat was Socks and then asked if they knew who the White House Dog was before putting up a picture of Chelsea. Of course, he tried to pass the blame onto an unnamed staffed, claiming he didn't know the staffer was going to put up her picture. Franken goes off on this in one of his books asking what the joke was supposed to be then. There's also a White House Dog... what's the actual punchline?

Anyway, everyone goes through an awkward stage in life, and Chelsea has turned out to be a stunning-looking woman. Malia's question is totally appropriate for her age and is no way indicative of any lack of education or low intelligence. In 12 to 13 years when Malia graduates with honors from a prestigious university, Beck will long have been a footnote in television history.

And she was a lot stupider (probably using no protection and all). The level of idiocy sinks to it's lowest.

23. He was just ranting the other day that media should "leave the families alone!!"
He was speaking about Palin's family and said the media didn't attack Chelsea or the Bush twins and they should leave Palin's family alone!!! Of course the media hasn't attacked or even talked about Palin's kids, but I guess those "rules" don't appear to the President's kids.

He's such a pig.

24. I sent this email to Fox comment email address today:
"Is this really what Fox Broadcasting calls fair and balanced, attacking the integrity of a little 11-yr-old child?

Mr. Beck owes her at least an apology! This is disgusting and I bet you that Mr. Beck would be VERY upset if someone said that about his child!

Please send this to appropriate parties!"

32. Why are liberals still watching this asshole? Don't you know the more
you watch and report about this jerk, the crazier he gets? It makes no sense to me that so much energy is spent on media creations like Beck, Palin, et al. He says something outrageous, and liberals go nuts. Wash, Rinse, Repeat.

33. We don't have to watch him since a lot of good progressive
websites including Media Matters watch for us. But I think his crap should be reported on. Look how many advertisers have pulled out after his racism was exposed.

And it isn't because of liberals he's getting crazier. His ratings have gone down. He has to up the crazy.

He knew what was doing was wrong from the get go. And his actions and the hurtful deed are already done. That to me is like a murderer saying sorry. When the harm is committed, sorry doesn't erase it.
