Glenn Beck Demands "A Damn Apology" From The View (AUDIO)
Glenn Beck Demands "A Damn Apology" From The View (AUDIO)


Posted: 05-21-09 12:50 PM





Here's the latest dumbassed escalation in the Glenn Beck versus The View story! Beck is now demanding apologies from the View for accusing him of lying. GLENN BECK HAS CHECKED AND RECHECKED HIS MINUTIAE BY CRACKEE, and needs reparations!

I don't think Glenn Beck is capable of appreciating that the real issue -- insofar as running into any of these people on a train can constitute an "issue" -- is that Beck encountered Goldberg and Walters on a train, and had what Walters and Goldberg thought was a perfectly lovely, non-controversial encounter. They were subsequently taken aback when Beck went on his radio show to depict them as unpleasant, seat-reserving, diva-succubi. Yesterday, his first in-the-moment instinct was to apologize. Now, he's calling them liars. Hey, they could be, but what he doesn't seem to realize that his radio show, was, in fact, THE FIRST SALVO in this battle of What Happened On An Amtrak Bitchery, and that he hasn't substantiated his claims any better.

But here I am: treating this as if it were a good test case for a rules of evidence class. Gah! Anyway, Glenn Beck will now get to the bottom of how Barbara Walters was able to procure a train ticket, which is the single most epochal national security issue our coddled lunatic infotainers face today.

WHAT AN IDIOT, HE APOLOGIZED YESTERDAY, NOW CAN'T LET GO!

the ladies of "The View."

They will take YOU down. :evilgrin:

8. The Writers on both The Daily Show and Cobert Nation are now "high fiving" each other.
The jokes seemingly write themselves.

To me, Beck is morphing into Yosemite Sam.

He's so adorable ... in a right wing hideous way. :evilgrin:

3. As squirmy and smarmy as he was while trying to defend himself
I'm surprised he wants to make a bigger issue out of it. You don't have to be a body language expert to see that he was lying his ass off on the show. I don't know how even his friends can stand him. I wonder what he's like trying to deny he stole the last beer.

He's just trying to manufacture a TV slugfest to boost his visibility.

They called him a liar because he LIED.

9. Can't help but notice that he didn't have the balls to say anything..
...when he was facing these women. WUSS! I think people like him and Limpballs are on the radio because they don't have to see anyone they insult. They are bullies, but the minute they're challenged, they back down and then whine like little babies.

Screw you Harold Hill!

22. Beck's at his best arguing with inanimate objects
Against a living breathing human being? Not so much. But now that he has a piece of videotape to harangue, you can bet ol' Glenn (the extra "n" is for knowledge!) will make as much hay as he can out of taunting it.

to strangle him in the crib.

15. This guy .................
Remember the guy in PA who committed suicide on TV? Blew his brains out. It was reality TV at its finest.



Budd Dwyer. A classic. He was a Republican, too.

I can see Beck going that route.

Hell, I'd buy a ticket................

Here's a link for others who are clueless about Budd Dwyer. Yikes.

The song is based on that guy's suicide.

Sad story.

16. You have GOT to be kidding me? Oh, I sure hope....
this came out before their taping this afternoon. I surely don't want to wait until Tuesday to hear Whoopi open up her special brand of whoop ass.

Barbara did a fine job, too, I might add.

:)

19. It should start getting interesting with Hasselbeck....
if she continues to be an apologist for the Faux crowd. They made it personal now.

Just as it was personal with the Rosie issue years ago.

Whoopi seems much more patient and tolerant, but I sure hope she's getting close to going off on that Hannity clone twit. Dear God, she is a merely a robot, spouting Limbaugh Republican talking points which she gets from Hannity each morning and RARELY is she challenged.

Barbara opened the door for a lot of discussion by exposing Beck as merely a commentator, NOT a reporter or journalist...a commentator -- like all of the right-wingers -- who has no interest in FACTS.

20. @ 6:06 of this video "Sorry I misspoke" Why did he apologize if he disagreed with
their assertions? Also, before this he said "I knew this was coming"

here's the video again, if anyone is interested:

and they totally ignored it. I was hoping for them to stick it to him a little more, but whatever.

30. Of course he's making a stink now.
He doesn't have anyone in his face confronting him about it. A miserable, pathetic coward.

31. He better learn "The Law of Holes."
I wouldn't mess with either Barbara or Whoopi. They are both usually very evenhanded, but they whomped him. I've never seen Whoopi anywhere near that pissed. She was steaming to call him what she did. Now she won't use "mess."

Littlebit stayed out of it. So did Sherri, and Joy only offered a remark or two. None of them wanted to get in the way. Littlebit better keep her mouth shut. BW is still pissed at her for talking about Michelle at the RNC. She said some things that happened off the camera and tried to make Michelle look bad.

32. In all the years Walters has been on TV, I don't think I ever...
saw her lose her temper, or even her cool, on camera. She seems to be in pretty tight control all the time.

She lost it with that putz, and if you can piss off Baba Wawa like that you either be on some very safe territory or watch your sorry ass.

(Jesse Ventura, Barbara... who's next to take on these assholes?)
