Glenn Beck: During The Civil Rights Movement God Spoke Through MLK, RFK, And…Roger Ailes

moment of glenn
» 85 comments

Truth be told, I haven’t been paying that much attention to Glenn Beck‘s recent tirade on the American Civil Rights movement and the supposed Black Panther debacle but this was hard to miss. Here’s Glenn’s version of how the Civil Rights movement came to a close. Says Beck:

Am I the only one appalled that history is being written, and re-written right in front of us?…We can’t change our history into something it wasn’t, but it’s happening. We’ve got to grab on to the truth and cling to it, but what is the truth? Well the truth about the Civil Rights movement isn’t the Black Panthers and the threats causing Congress to pass the Civil Rights, that’s bull crap [um, yes]. God did it, by through working through people and inspiring people like Martin Luther King, and C.L. Jackson, and, yes, white people like Bobby Kennedy, and dare I say it, I’m going to set the world on fire with this…Roger Ailes.

Who Glenn Beck says spent some time with King in the Civil Rights movement. I have no idea if this is true…nothing turns up on the Google. Either way, is the subtle conclusion here that Glenn Beck is the natural extension of Civil Rights leaders because he is now being championed by Ailes? Possibly that’s a stretch (Glenn’s larger point is that violence never solves anything). In the meantime, I’m still puzzling over who concluded the Black Panthers were responsible for the Civil Rights Act. Watch below.

    The only one rewriting history is Glenn Beck.

    Former coke-snorting, alcoholic morning zoo radio shock jocks have no business pretending to know anything about history.

    Scholars who devote their lives to American history are dying inside every time he misinforms Americans too lazy to find out the real truth about MLK (and the Founders and on and on…).

  • Ted

    Glenn Beck is the new tea-bagging MLK. Except Glenn is mentally disturbed, stupid, has the IQ of a soap dish, a con artist, narcissistic, has dreams of a city in East Africa called Beck Town, has others write his “books”, sells bullshit for a living, is a pathological liar and a racist. Other than that, the similarities to MLK are uncanny.

  • axel360

    I was watching this and thinking to myself “how long is it gonna take for this to be a lead story on mediaite?”
    Each and everyday it becomes harder for conservatives to defend Beck. He’s just on an island by himself now

  • Iris

    I can’t wait till the morans (and I do mean morAns) get here and insist that he’s right , can someone please pass the popcorn?

  • Big_F-ing_Deal

    Where’s all the teatards to proclaim Beck is right and the history books should be re-written thanking God for Civil Rights?

    They must be hanging up and then taking down billboards.

    Beck’s tirade?? NOT
    supposed Black Panther debacle??? ACTUAL BLACK GUY CALLING FOR DEATH TO WHITE COPS & WHITE BABIES….no racism there says the LameStream Media…

    Hate to break the news to ya Glynnis, God has been behind the creation of the United States from the very beginning…the people that emigrated sought religious freedom! God was behind emancipation of the slaves…perhaps you might read some American history from George Washington to FDR, God was FREQUENTLY mentioned by most every President during most moments of turmoil in America…

    I lived through those times and MLK was called a Communist and anti American by the very people that today claim his legacy. They spread ugly rumors about him and whipped up fear and hate just like what they are doing today to Obama. Charge after charge was made and eagerly spread by right winger in those days who insisted MLK was a communist and the entire movement was communist inspired. Maybe some one reading this will see a parallel to what is going on today?

    Dowdaytrader.. God was behind the creation of the US??

    Maybe you can ask him why he created a government with slavery as legal? And then he was behind their emancipation since slavery is justified in the Bible…along with the slaughter of women and children.

    Maybe next time you talk to God you can ask him about this and ask him how come so many people use the name of God to start wars and justify torture… and tell willful lies..

  • The_Reasonable_Lib

    Beck also seems to leave out key black figures, only mentioning Dr. King. Dr. King was only the greatest modern galvanizer and had the best pulpit. Marcus Garvey had the largest organized group of people of African ancestry. These people were also decidedly un-conservative as I’m sure Beck’s next point will be. The only conservative among the civil rights movement leaders off the top of my head was Booker T. Washington.

    I tried to tell them the same thing. Anybody viewed as a leader by the African-American community is instantly demonized.

    I do have to disagree on the God aspect. I do believe in God, I don’t believe that the US was created by God as a nation under god. especially when you consider jefferson wasn’t a christian. I do agree that people use god as justification, but if there were no God it would just be something else, that’s simply human nature.

  • http://SailRabbits.com Magister

    @dowdaytrader: It’s long been one of my pet peeves, so please excuse my objection to you characterization, but the Virginia Company was a for-profit enterprise and the Pilgrims were just one group of settlers, who were seeking religious freedom. They’re quite famous because history textbooks were published by Boston-based corporations, but they weren’t the first or the only English settlers to reach these shores.

    And that’s not even taking into account the Spanish and the French, both of which were also seeking unimaginable riches by staking a claim to this continent’s natural resources.

  • Vietnameravet

    Reasonable Lib… you cant reason with bigots and that is exactly what they are.. the proof is not just in their signs but in their willingness to believe any nasty thing that is said about Obama. Its just like in the 60s when any charge against a black gained instant traction among these same kinds of people. Black were said to be stupid. lazy and dangerous any and every charge against them was made and eagerly accepted.

    People refused to give them jobs and then called them lazy ..they kicked them around in just about every aspect of life from lynchings and beatings and inferior schools and discrimination in jobs and housing and then charged “Communist influence” and “outside agitators” when they protested.

    In those days they did not hesitate to use the “N” word but today that is not an acceptable word.. but the feelings are still there and can be seen in the blind hate a vitriol directed against Obama and the eagerness to believe all things bad about him. Death Panels. Anti Christian. Hates America. Internment camps. Voter Intimidation. Selling us out to foreign terrorists. Making us slaves.. Hates Whites You charge it..they believe it for reasons they dont admit even to themselves

    Oh, look, it’s another phony internet “war hero.”

    You are a coward.

    Did the founding fathers believe in God’s assistance in the establishment of the USA?

    From the Declaration of Independence:

    “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

    “We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States….”

    “And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.”

    Boy, I bet those words are like fire to a pathetic atheist coward lib like you who feels like a real man by going on the internet and proclaiming himself a “Vietnam Era Vet.”

    If you are a vet, how is my dog doing, coward?

    As for the original Black Panthers, they were murderers (see David Horowitz) and drug dealers. Huey Newton was eventually murdered by another drug dealer A book I’m familiar with is “The Shadow of the Panther” by Hugh Pearson.

  • http://SailRabbits.com Magister

    @Dave Noland: I seem unable to find it with just a couple of minutes and I’m not going to be able to look any further at this particular moment in time, but there’s a photo of a young Roger Ailes in Nixon’s campaign headquarters that circulated the internet sometime over the past year.

    If memory serves, he may have been sitting on the floor, he looks to be about 23 and I believe he was part of Nixon’s AV team or he made some short campaign videos, I can’t exactly recall.

    Anyway, I was under the impression that he didn’t have a high-ranking position with CREEP, but he could’ve theoretically met MLK during the campaign. Though that would’ve been post-CRA, so if Beck is not exaggerating, then he may have met him through something he had done previously.

    And as I’m sure others have commented while I typed, the Civil Rights Act passed with some Republican votes.

  • http://SailRabbits.com Magister

    Whoops. I said CREEP, but that would’ve been long after King was assassinated. I do believe the photo that circulated was from CREEP, so it’d have no bearing on the above and I guess, I’m just talking out of my rear.

    Sorry.

    That was a pretty wimpy response. You don’t know? Glen has not enlightened you on his knowledge of who God does or does not talk to.

  • http://SailRabbits.com Magister

    OK – I’m way off my game. My memory was of a (now deleted) YouTube of Dan Rather talking to Karl Rove in Nixon’s ’72 campaign headquarters, not Roger Ailes. So, other than agreeing that lots of people were involved with the passage of the Civil Rights Act, I have nothing to contribute to this thread and in fact, what I thought that I had, I was way off.

    Again, apologies.

    …the Civil Rights Act passed with some Republican votes.

    Actually, it appears that a larger percentage of Republicans over Democrats voted for passage of the bill. The Southern members of both parties mostly voted against it and, at the time, Democrats held most of the seats in the South. From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_Rights_Act_of_1964#Vote_totals :

    Vote totals (Totals are in “Yea-Nay” format):

    The original House version: 290-130 (69%-31%).
    Cloture in the Senate: 71-29 (71%-29%).
    The Senate version: 73-27 (73%-27%).
    The Senate version, as voted on by the House: 289-126 (70%-30%).

    The original House version:
    Democratic Party: 152-96 (61%-39%)

    Democratic Party: 153-91 (63%-37%)
    Republican Party: 136-35 (80%-20%)

    By party and region
    Note: “Southern”, as used in this section, refers to members of Congress from the eleven states that made up the Confederate States of America in the American Civil War. “Northern” refers to members from the other 39 states, regardless of the geographic location of those states.

    The funny part is that the people who were fighting Civil Rights said God was talking through them.

    Yep, God made us different for a reason, they said. If He didn’t want one to Lord over the other He would have made us all the same.

    Sometimes it’s hard to keep track of which side God is on.

  • http://SailRabbits.com Magister

    @bamman: I used “some” because I wasn’t aware of the precise percentages and I was on my own wild goose chase, but yes, especially prior to the 70s, Southern Democrats were largely segregationists and the Republicans were more in line with the act’s goal.

    Smurf, you sweet old man, maybe its common in your circles (or home) that God just talks to people and you don’t see that Glennie telling people that listen to him who God does or does not talk to, and just coincidentally one of those people is Glennies boss. But there is the rest of the world that recognizes that as madness.

    Ailes was born in 1940. Definitely the right age to be a young idealist.

    “Valkyrie is WORSE than a LIB… she is someone who “tries to take a step back and see issues objectively”!!!”

    So true! No need for “O” words here. We need more “V” words, like Vicious, Vehement, and Vindictive.

    Karl, why haven’t you updated your website? I like the Jesus as a sniper pix, so leave that. But how about a new “Karl explains…”?
    Like “Karl explains the Debt Crisis” or “Karl explains how allowing Illegal Immigration will lead to Cheaper Drugs!”

  • Pablo

    Either way, is the subtle conclusion here that Glenn Beck is the natural extension of Civil Rights leaders because he is now being championed by Ailes?

    No, the unsubtle conclusion is that the Civil Rights movement was driven by people of strong faith, and that such faith will come in handy going forward.

    That’s the man who built and manages your favorite nightmare. Or, Keith Olbermann’s.

    ” In the meantime, I’m still puzzling over who concluded the Black Panthers were responsible for the Civil Rights Act. ”

    Well, it’s not in the clip you provided. Near the start of the show, Beck put up a quote by a 60′s radical who claimed the threat of violence was the reason the Civil Rights Act passed.

    Why isn’t Fox Reporting this??

    On Election Day, Nov. 6, 2006 a posse of three men in Tucson, Ariz., proved that the Wild West still lives.A group, which was three strong, and allegedly composed of two anti-immigration activists, Russ Dove and Roy Warden, carried a camcorder, a clipboard — on which, they said, was information about a proposed law to…… make English the state’s official language — one with an Armed 9mm Glock automatic strapped to his side. While one man would approach a voter, holding the clipboard, another would follow, pointing the video camera at them. The third would stand behind, holding his hand to the gun at his hip in what activists on the other side called classic voter intimidation tactics in a precinct one local paper had previously declared the bellwether of the area’s Hispanic vote.
    In that instance, the DOJ declined to bring any action for alleged voter intimidation, notwithstanding the requests of the complaining parties.

    Glenn Beck is a never ending flow of stupid. Every day he comes up with something even more ludicrous and yet there are morons out there on Planet Fox who lap it up like a pig does slop.

    It’s ok – they’re with the Tea Party. Were they wearing T-shirts saying, ‘yup, I’m a racist?’

    God has come to us throughout the course of history in some interesting ways. At times, God does, in fact, come to us through flawed people. Might God come to us through the likes of Roger Ailes? It is certainly possible. Might Glen(n) Beck be privy to this? Even when he is wearing his best magic underwear, I think not. I think Glen(n) has too much fried food last night.

    “Why isn’t Fox Reporting this?? On Election Day, Nov. 6, 2006… ” yweston

    How about because you are lying? (again)

    The incident never happened. What DID happen was reported in the Phoenix Times, in an article written Dec 4, 2008. BTW, the “reporter” is obviously a leftist nutcase like yourself:

    “Anti-immigrant nutjob and Mexican flag-burner Roy Warden’s coming to town Wednesday, December 10… His violent rhetoric and threats have gotten him profiled by the Southern Poverty Law Center, and arrested more than once down in Tucson, his primary stomping grounds. In 2007, according to the Arizona Daily Star, Warden was “convicted of two counts of threats and intimidation after he pushed one person and made threats to two others outside the [Mexican] consulate in June [of 2006].”

    Nothing is mentioned in this article or at the SPLC site about voter intimidation. Oh I get it, you think Mexicans are Americans and their consulate is really a polling station. Hasn’t happened yet sweetheart but don’t worry. With morons like you in charge (e.g., Obamao, Stedman), it will happen soon enough.

    PS: You are not only a liar but also stupid. Just remember, when you make sh*t up, which is all the time, make sh*t up that can’t be checked on the internet.

    PSS: How would you know what Fox covers? Were you watching Fox in 2006-07? Do you watch any news? Do you even have a brain? (get back to me on that one-I’m curious)

    There was no Tea Party in 2006, genius.

    Beck says that the Tea Party isn’t racist.
