Glenn Beck Condemns Bronx Anti-Gay Attacks…And Internet Commenters

video
» 130 comments

Glenn Beck returned to live air tonight after a weekend of dealing with health issues (everything is apparently fine) and spent the first 15 minutes of the show discussing the horrific anti-gay Bronx attacks (in gruesome detail) from this weekend, calling them “anti-human” and “bigotry for sport”. Admittedly probably not how many people anticipated Beck returning to the air, but his vehement rejection of the events was admirable nonetheless — especially in light of Carl Paladino‘s ‘brainwashing‘ remarks this weekend.

A small part of me suspects tonight’s opener was in part a bit of a sideways response to the story Media Matters has been pushing out all week trying to connect Beck with Byron Williams, the guy who was arrested on his way to kill “people of importance at the Tides Foundation and ACLU” (as if the actions of a crazy person can ever be blamed on anyone other than the crazy person). But even if it was, the larger message remains, and is one that Beck likes to reaffirm from time to time, namely, violence is bad.

Interestingly, Beck segued from the violent actions of the Bronx 10 to the violent rhetoric he discovered in the comments sections of some blogs he was perusing while in transit to California. Beck is apparently new to Internet comments sections and was astounded to discover the rhetoric therein. Especially upsetting was the language commenters used who ostensibly were trying to defend him.

What shocked me was some of the responses of people who were, quote, defending me….I read one that said ‘you know it’s Progressives like you that need to be rounded up’ I read that, it was such a horrific post, and that was just one line of it, that I actually sat there on the plane and thought, that guy cannot be a fan of mine….It’s getting hard to tell the good guys from the bad guys.

Beck went on to advise his fans that if they ever see anyone writing nasty things about him online they are not to defend him, instead either ignore it or respond with prayer: “If you really believe the [nasty] things you are posting in my defense, I don’t want anything to do with you.” Also? Before you write something and hit send, “reread it!” and ask yourself “is that who I want to be.” I think this is good advice. Alas, no word on whether this includes calling people Nazis.

    Hey Glenn Beck! You’ve got listeners who’ve SHOT people with the intent to kill. Reading a random stupid internet comment PALES in comparison.

    I’ve written before that Beck is right on the issue of gay marriage and gay issues. I don’t mean far-right, I mean correct.

    My question is why? Why are gay issues OK with him?

    Beck said, “.I read one that said ‘you know it’s Progressives like you that need to be rounded up’ I read that, it was such a horrific post, and that was just one line of it, that I actually sat there on the plane and thought, that guy cannot be a fan of mine….It’s getting hard to tell the good guys from the bad guys.”

    These are Beck’s people. We see them write similar things here. He’s created a monster in this land, and he does not even know that he’s the one who foments this behavior in his followers.

    Glynnis is absolutely right. Media Matters did a very job of connecting Beck with Byron Williams, For those tea-baggers who can read I highly recommend it, First, take your Ritalin. At any rate, this is just this idiot, pathetically looking for cover, nothing more. Vintage Beck.

    Just to save everyone the trouble, neither Google nor Bing could find the exact quote or any of the easiest variations. I sometimes use Google to find comments to this forum and I thought that Bing administered Mediaite’s site search, but after not finding the quote anywhere, I see that the branding deal with Bing must have been a temporary thing and well, though neither has archived the quote from anywhere on the web, at least we can’t be positive that it originated, here.

    Beck only did this rant because it involved non-whites to scare you white people of these scary minorities.Check out the duplicate TV spots Sharon Angel R-NV and David Vitter R-LA did. They used EXACTLY the same photo of menacing looking Hispanics to make you think they are out to get YOU.Beck is doing the same thing.What, you think liberals are for this crime?Or it’s not so bad?

    I did read that MM piece and they strain and stretch to directly connect Beck. Infact Byron was quoted as saying he researched the Tides Foundation BEFORE Beck ever mentioned them. Even Olbermann said monday on Twitter the story had too many” major flaws” to cover.

You were asked why so many Democratic candidates are full speed running away from Obama and his health care bill, stimulus money, bailouts, etc. – pretty much his whole agenda. Your response was “it’s just too complicated to explain to people.” So, the President’s agenda is so deep and sagacious it is just too mind blowing for the average American to grasp?

    Addendum to my previous comment: In addition to my general knowledge of the discourse that often permeates this site’s (unmoderated) comment section and of course, I can recall the couple of times that the idea of an armed revolution has been hinted and a specific insinuation that the President’s supporters would be hung.

    Couple that with the fact that Mr. Beck has said that he likes this site, I may have been overly curious.and ran my search again, but this time stripped-down to a single word. The majority of results that Google produced appears to have the word used as a description of historical events and I have to admit that I didn’t go beyond the first page, but that’s because it did find something remarkably similar to Beck’s quote. Though the post was not about him or Fox, it’s about 40 days old and I believe it was uttered by a banned sockpuppet, but something similar does exist.

    Note: I have the comment open in another window and I am tempted to provide the direct link, but I don’t like singling my fellow commenter’s out, so for now, I’ll just provide the quote;

    Dude, I deal with Commies, in a ‘communistic’ manner. I won’t be happy till all you leftwingers are rounded up and shipped off to Gitmo. Right next door to your buddy, Castro.

    Few would deny any longer that communism–Marxism-Leninism and its variants–meant in practice bloody terrorism, deadly purges, lethal gulags and forced labor, fatal deportations, man-made famines, extrajudicial executions and show trials, and genocide. It is also widely known that as a result millions of innocent people have been murdered in cold blood. Yet there has been virtually no concentrated statistical work on what this total might be….

    With this understood, the Soviet Union appears the greatest megamurderer of all, apparently killing near 61,000,000 people. Stalin himself is responsible for almost 43,000,000 of these. Most of the deaths, perhaps around 39,000,000 are due to lethal forced labor in gulag and transit thereto. Communist China up to 1987, but mainly from 1949 through the cultural revolution, which alone may have seen over 1,000,000 murdered, is the second worst megamurderer. Then there are the lesser megamurderers, such as North Korea and Tito’s Yugoslavia….

    Reevaluating China’s Democide to 73,000,000
    (First published October 10, 2005)

    Two books have had a big impact on my evaluation of Mao’s rise to absolute power and his rule over China. One is Wild Swans: Three Daughters of China by Jung Chang, and the other is Mao: the Unknown Story that she wrote with her husband, Jon Halliday.

    I will extract what is most surprising about both books in two parts. In this one, I want to wholly focus on the democide under Mao, and in the next blog, I’ll abstract the most important and surprising things I learned about him.

    From the time I wrote my book on China’s Bloody Century (1991–here), I have held to these democide totals for Mao:

    Civil War-Sino-Japanese War 1923-1949 = 3,466,000 murdered
    Rule over China (PRC) 1949-1987 = 35,236,000 murdered

    However, some other scholars and researchers had put the PRC total in from 60,000,000 to a high 70,000,000. When I’ve been asked why my total is so low by comparison, I’ve responded that I did not include the China’s Great Famine 1958-1961….

    Mao Zedong, founder of the People’s Republic of China, qualifies as the greatest mass murderer in world history, an expert who had unprecedented access to official Communist Party archives said yesterday.

    Speaking at The Independent Woodstock Literary Festival, Frank Dikötter, a Hong Kong-based historian, said he found that during the time that Mao was enforcing the Great Leap Forward in 1958, in an effort to catch up with the economy of the Western world, he was responsible for overseeing “one of the worst catastrophes the world has ever known”.

    Mr Dikötter, who has been studying Chinese rural history from 1958 to 1962, when the nation was facing a famine, compared the systematic torture, brutality, starvation and killing of Chinese peasants to the Second World War in its magnitude. At least 45 million people were worked, starved or beaten to death in China over these four years; the worldwide death toll of the Second World War was 55 million.

    Every time some type of violence or attempted violence occurs the left just hope upon hope the perpetrator is a right wing nut job so they can accuse conservative commentators of inciting violence so they can use it as an excuse to shut them down one day. If we used that standard no one would be able to speak out.

    Latin Teen Goonies doesn’t tell me these guys were Mexicans. Maybe I’ll look up the story to find out. But the
    mere mentioning that they were something other than white teabagging nut jobs pisses off those on the left for reasons I have no clue except to think maybe those lefties truly believe everything wrong in the world can be attributed to evil conservative white people.

    Now if we want to get in a pisses contest on which groups or people for the left or right that either encourage or condone unlawful disobedience or violence lets have at it. We may find it that that Jesus quote “Let he who has not sinned cast the first stone” may apply.

    I would love to see mediaite have people use their real names when posting comments. it would cut down on a lot of the idiocy here.

  • chucken

    What Beck did was take a truly appalling crime and come up with as many adjectives that his feeble brain and writers could come up with to condemn something that does not need an explanation that somehow this is an issue that has 2 sides and is up for debate.I remember being stuck in traffic in 2002 going to the Houston OTC and hearing Beck go on a similar long rant condemning the guy in Nebraska who put bombs in mail boxes.And it was the same somber phony act that he still does today.

    Eh . . . at the end of the day, an individual is responsible for his own actions. Glenn Beck plays the same role in the age of Obama Administration that Keith Olbermann played in the Bush years. The Tea Party is Move On etc. etc. etc.

    It’d be cool if more people could just commend Beck for what he said, regardless of whether or not they’re a fan (which I suppose I should preface by saying I’m not) and be a bit more civil. Alas…

  • ganymede

    I used to think Beck had a great act where he could switch mood and messages so skillfully in ways that really mesmerize and almost hypnotize. But now I think he is truly schizoid and he’s going to obviously have to take good care of himself. Since he has such variable behavior he can switch personalities easily. One week he’s our savior loving all humanity, the next week he’s going on about how the liberals, socialists, fascists, America haters, whatever, have taken over and must be driven out of office, schools, the country, the world.
    The Great Teacher does seem intellectually disturbed with a very inaccurate and faulty sense of history, but he does have a God given job to rewrite history! Now, he’s shocked by a grotesque gay-bashing crime which he told like a bedtime story for adults only, and in a rather titillating way, but it is nice that he’s concerned and sympathetic about gays which, of course, is very interesting and out of character..
    Now he wants to tamp down the negativity of many of his supporters who, as we well know on Mediaite can be somewhat hateful, vituperative and dopey as can some of their leftwing counterparts. The fact that he’s so surprised about this is amusing. Maybe he’ll read a book about karma and start making the connection to the forces he’s working hard to unleash and the damage he’s doing.

    He has always been a multi-personality, “great” act. Nothing has changed in this regard. His “mood” switching, comes from acting. When he cries, usually it’s an act. This cuts right to the third criticism from the Review: on top of being a liar and a hypocrite, Glenn Beck is a fake, a fraud, a charlatan. He has turned a 12 step program and the 5,000 Year Leap into a political philosophy of national redemption. No one with a grounding in the Western tradition takes his nonsense seriously. By that I mean, no one with a post-secondary education in political philosophy takes Beck seriously. Only the ignorant are impressed by Mr. Beck; they’re much easier to hood-wink.

    Perhaps more people should actually take Beck’s advice here.

    I agree. Left and right. It’s gotten ridiculous. This country, and the online community in particular, is more polarized than I’ve ever seen. Not just as far as issues go, but expression of personal animosity when there are differences of opinion.

    I bet most of us here, if we didn’t know the political leanings of anyone else, would find each other perfectly acceptable and agreeable in a social situation. I said most, not all — some people are clearly asses and are going to be so no matter the setting and even if politics/ideology never enter the equation.

    I have to try hard sometimes to remember there is another human being on the receiving end of my comments. That’s something I think we’ve lost sight of to a large extent these days. It’s a contest to see who can come up with the most hateful put-down and ridicule of another or a whole group of people.

    I was thinking about this too. Beck claims that hate is on the rise. Yes it is — thanks to Mr. Beck.
    He claims that this horrible crime is somehow worse than anything ever before. Uh, Mr. Beck needs to read the history of black Americans. This kind of “sport bigotry” used to be routine in the South.

    Writer, I’m glad that Beck spoke out like he did here as noted above. Has it ever crossed your mind to ask why Beck has empathy for gay people but not blacks or poor whites or forgetful whites, or victims of corporate, toxic wastes? Care to speculate why that’s so?

    You want to know what’s disturbing? You raw, unfiltered, sheer stupidity. How many time do I need to declare (and I know you’ve seen it because you commented on it) that I do not hate Mr. Beck? Hate is too strong of a word. There is too much hatred in the world, and I’m not contributing to the pool. I have contempt for Beck, not for his politics, whatever they are. He’s a charlatan, and he proves that when he says that he’s a conservative in the same conversation that he says that he’s libertarian. He doesn’t know what he is because he’s uneducated. He is whatever sounds good in the moment. How can one debate with a schitzoid?

    I have allies who are Libertarians who abandoned Beck when he turned toward God this year. I can debate Libertarians, but one can’t debate someone who starts out in an alternative universe. Beck blends fact and fiction to create a false narrative. Some think he’s deranged, and if he believes all that he says, then he is deranged. “Writer,” if you believe everything Beck says, then you’re either deranged too or just gullible as hell. That’s true for everyone and anyone.

    I don’t think he’s deranged. I think that he’s a very clever and gifted huckster convincing people to buy his books, magazine, insider extreme, Buck U (propaganda), and whatever else he can sell with his gift. However, the future is not for sale.

    From your remark, one would think that I’ve accused Beck of racism. I have not. He bumps his chubby ass up against racism a lot, but he never quite crosses that line so far as I can tell. Bad Wolf is right; he’ll not put himself in position of debate or cross examination. I suspect that is because he knows he lies and has no post-secondary education aside from what he got from the extremist crank, Cleon Skousen.

    Glenn Beck receives a medical scare with the absence of feeling in the hand and feet, and a virus that is attacking his vocal chords. He then gets a temporary epiphany that he need to defend against the attacks on homosexuals. Where has he been all this time. He then says he’s never read anything like the attacks carried out by a group he refers to as a “gang”, all appear to be non-white. He should expand his reading because this is how many of his own people attacked blacks for hundreds of years in the USA, and some still do. In fact, those attacks were much worse and longer endured than what Beck is reading about. It included the cutting open the stomach of some black women and ripping the unborn baby from the womb and dashing its head against a rock or tree. This is a part of what went into the building of America. This was white America’s method of instilling fear and a white god-complex into the minds of Blacks. I’m sure Beck don’t want the children to hear this, put them to bed. This was the wickedness that this country sewed and now it’s reaping a whirlwind as Beck, Hannity and others enrich themselves by highlighting it for show and ratings. They refuse to deal with the “chicken”, preferring to focus on the presence of the “egg”. How did it get here; what was the path to what we now have? Is this not how you solve problems, by asking what are the steps that create malevolent behavior? What makes an American soldier do the same to Iraqi men, women and children? Is this something Fox News personalities want to highlight? Are they afraid to look into the mirror to see what is looking back at them?

    Glenn Beck didn’t have to say the ethnicity of these young men, the pictures will suffice. Yes, the “hearts of “many” (not man) have waxed cold” and iniquity is at the center of it but it didn’t just begin with these darker skinned young men. The apex iniquity hasn’t ended in white America, from the lowest to the highest. When the US announced that it did, in fact, carryout experiments on Guatemalans that involved the intentional infection of some women with sexually transmitted diseases by the same head of the Tuskegee program who committed the same to black men in the USA, they allowed this doctor to die in peace in 2003. Why? He committed these mass crimes in the interest of white people upon non-white people, not just in the US but outside the US. No, Glenn Beck want the children in bed when the ugly truths are being discussed. Look into that mirror and tell the whole truth. Carrying out these evils, you surely can kill and destroy the lives of far more people than a few misguided “gang” members. Beck’s intent is to shine the light on the lies written in the Book of Mormon 2nd Nephi 5. His focus is on “blackness” not the ugliness reflected in the mirror at which he stands. He is as many of the Pharisees were doing the time of Christ. They were smooth operators and could talk the talk but their acts betrayed that talk. When Beck begins to focus on the evil terrible things so apparent among some of the members of the Tea Party and the Republican Party, only then should people consider that, just maybe, he’s truly beginning to get an authentic understanding and rightly acting on that understanding.

    From another page:
    Paul Westlake says:
    “Ted is intentionally crude and insulting, but NSF gets really personal, like comparisons to people’s mothers, and describing sex acts that go way beyond the typical “go screw yourself” fare. Yeah, we got our share of antagonists on the left, but nobody that comes anywhere close to the kind of contemptible language and vile attacks hurled by certain characters on the right. Not even worthy of comparison. Seriously.”

    Murphy, seriously; you’re one of them using contemptible language.

  • Vietnameravet

    I have never been a fan of Glenn Beck because of all the hate he has created making repeated comparisons between Hitler and Obama and finding all kind of incredible and nonsensical connections between democrats liberals and slave owners and Marxists. He is responsible for much of the fear and hate that is poisoning America today. However that being said I have to applaud his remarks today. Hopefully he will have more such remarks and with his help this country can curb the crazy hateful nuts that are gaining power worldwide and right here in the US. Maybe we can get back to sane discussions and not continue dividing the house because that can only end in disaster for us all. For once I can say “Thank you Glenn. It was good to hear this”
