Bwah-hah BecKKK crybabies about being mocked and disdained by NYC wait staff & American Airlines

So many questions: *When* do wait staff and airline attendants have time to listen to him enough to hate him that much?!1 Is it their ideology or his tips?!1 How do his own staff stooges, not to mention his wife and kids, put up with all his whining?!1

[font size=5]Glenn Beck Boycotts American Airlines, Blasts New York City As 'Hateful Place' (VIDEO)[/font]

.... Beck claimed that he was treated with disdain at several restaurants, beginning with dinner at a barbecue joint on Friday night. He said that he got a look from the staff that read "how dare you even come in here."

The rest of the weekend was pretty similar, according to Beck. "I was openly mocked by the patrons, and my wife was begging to leave as she heard the wait staff and management gasp in horror that they actually had to serve me," he said about breakfast the next day. "Lunch was no different."

The host directed the rest of his ire at American Airlines, which he said treated him like a "subhuman" on the plane. Beck said that his flight attendent "barked" at him and "slammed" a soda in front of him, while treating other passengers courteously.

"Never once did he offer a kind or even a neutral word to me," Beck said. "I had service unlike I have never had ever before in my life, and I have had rude service before." ....

started a movement based on hatred, and encouraged others to hate. He's reaping what he sowed.

I hope he gets horrible service everywhere he goes and that he gets the scorn he so richly deserves.

now he is complaining he has to lie (pun intended) in it? Sucks to be him, and for his wife, sucks to be with him.

"you deserved it" when Beck de-planed and spoke to him about his service.

You plant seeds, eventually the crop comes in. I guess he doesn't like what he planted.
