‘Comedy Is Comedy’: Glenn Beck Defends Hate Speech Charge To Meredith Vieira

Video
» 177 comments

Glenn Beck appeared with Dr. Keith Ablow on The Today Show as they promoted their self-help book “The 7.” Meredith Vieira first questioned Beck about his goal in writing a book more focused on individuals than on politics, to which Beck replied “we fix our country by fixing ourself.”

In his personal life, Beck concluded that “I was a guy that I would have hated” before he successfully turned his life around. Then business really started to pick up as Vieira questioned Beck about whether some of his controversial rhetoric, including saying he wanted to poison Nancy Pelosi and beat Charlie Rangel to death with a shovel, contributes to a climate of anger and hate. Beck responded that a lot of what he says are jokes and that Vieira should “ask Jon Stewart that question, ask The Simpsons.” Vieira didn’t seem convinced and Beck implied that those in the media need to lighten up a bit, because “comedy is comedy.”

Given the theme of Beck’s book about self-empowerment and self-realization, Vieira was still searching for an admission by Beck that some of what he said might have been a mistake. However, Beck replied “political discourse is dicey sometimes, people don’t like it” and instead suggested the real problem, like in the case of the Arizona shooting, always is with the individual.

Overall both Beck and Vieira served themselves well. Beck did not seem like a paranoid lunatic that many on the left try to portray him as, and Vieira did not seem like an unfair mainstream assailant that many on the right try to portray all non-Fox News journalists as.

    Defends hate speech now as free speech, which I don’t disagree with. But when Helen speaks about an issue that no one wants to hear, it’s declared as hate speech and she should be fired. When is there going to be one standard for all?

    Another interview that shows Beck is more savvy than some of his critics give him credit for. For example (and it has already started): watch his right wing rank and file supporters read his comments the wrong way while offering unneeded support, because they’re conditioned to defend any Republican.

    This thread will be a comedy goldmine, as are most that mention Beck or Palin.

    Most threads about Beck or Palin are too filled with left wing hate speech.

  • redwriteblue

    I’m reading Glenn Bore(ing’s) novel, “The Overton Window” and what he does is take the research his staff does for his daily program and compliles it into another format that he can make money from.

    His program is thematic and not based-on the daily news events like Bill O’Boring’s “Factor” so he has to keep coming-up with new themes. The one for last summer was the “Return To Honor” that culminated in the rally at the Lincoln Memorial.

    Glenn’s Fox Cable News co-commentator, Sarah Palin, writes about the Republicans’ reasons for repealing ObamaCare:

    Am not outrage, you don’t know what you are talking about. I’m just pointing out your phoniness, it appears to me that you must stick to anything Beck does, just because you are of the same faith. You are glued to him that you don’t even notice, its comical.

    I agree with Glenn on this. His offhanded comments are rearely done with enough malice in his voice to take seriously. Focusing on those comments are doing him and his critics a disservice.

    At the same time, I think he draws false conclusions (See the bacon theory “Obama’s advisor knows psychology and is using it to manipulate you”), and that’s where he loses credibility in my eyes.

    My favorite parts of the multi-part interviews were from Dr. Ablow. When asked about critics to Beck that his words are responsible for the Tuscon murders, Dr. Ablow said ‘that’s crazy’. So true.

    Second best part. Dr. Ablow’s point that Beck is talking to the audience on his show like a therapist talks to a drunk. Beck is the therapist to the nation, telling us we’re the drunks. I love that! If we overspend in our own lives, we can’t complain if the gov’t is doing the same. Very true.

    Good interview from all. I have to say if I didn’t have DVR to skip through it, the multi-part interview format on the Today show is annoying.

    Taking personality advice from Glenn Beck is like asking a crack dealer for drug treatment options.

  • bealzebubba

    I’ll give him credit for the book provided there’s no political commentary in it…guarded credit, though. L. Ron Hubbard wrote a similar type of book…I leave it at that.

    He knows how to handle himself in an interview, that’s for certain..though I think his response to the “do you regret that stuff now?” was a cop-out. He didn’t take ownership of what she was talking about..he wrote it off as people not seeing it for what he wanted them to see it as. Comedy is comedy? Sure..if it’s intended that way and people know to look for that.

    People don’t watch Beck’s show for the sake of comedy like they do The Simpsons or Stewart…at that rate you may as well be saying that you read The Onion for it’s thought-provoking disclosure of politics.

    You should watch the South Park episode “with apologies to jesse jackson”. The point that it makes is that certain people should not say certain words just because others say it because they have no idea how it feels to hear that word coming from said party. Now I would agree that the word shouldn’t be said at all, but I’m not going to stop listening to an artist because they say it the same way you probably wouldn’t stop listening to Taylor Swift (blech) if she said something controversial.

    His radio show has alot more of a comedic twist to it. You can tell when they are joking, the tone, voice inflections, etc… hence, where some of those examples Meredith used in the interview.

    His TV show is more serious. He tends to be more measured, and uses original quotes to drive a controversial point home.

    If some guy is a Beck fan and someone else is an Olberman fan…chances are they’re both pointing the finger at each others favorite talker and saying “hate speech..rhetoric..inflammatory comments..waaaaa” and speaking out of the other side of their mouth for their own favorite talker by saying “he speaks the truth..he’s enlightened..he knows what’s up….and he’s a really, really good guy, too.” Perspective.

What about when he calls himself a rodeo clown and tells you not to take him seriously? What about when he calls the president a racist or says his economic plan is reparations? How about when he says China is our bank of sicily and they’re coming to collect? I’m just curious.

    Unlike a clown, liberal, I take personal responsibility for my actions, cupcake. I don’t blame government for failing to protect me. Government needs victims to exist. Just like the democrat party. That is why they are chock full of liberal sheep.

    Personal responsibility, ahh funny stuff. Do you mean taking care of your kids, or paying your bills. Hey smart one, when there’s a violent crime, it’s the Govts responsibility to sort it out. If not it would be a world of vigilante and private justice system.

    They are either government workers, union clowns, or welfare recipients waiting for free cheese. Hate speech is something they think they can define, just like government would like to do.

    There is a reason its called “Main Stream Media”. It is for people who swim in the main stream, not some little creek where the water is stagnant and full of bottom feeders. The “sheep” have a diverse array of opinions to view and choose from, where “others” are limited to….one. The “sheep” are open to new ideas, the “others” cling to the old ways, refusing to allow new thoughts to intrude on their carefully preserved world. Change always smacks the “others” in the face like a moist turd, and they hate it. Such is their lot in life.

    I met my wife, Evangeline Lilly, while visiting my estate in South Hampton. I was at the Montauk Yacht Club, ready to take a sunset cruise, when Evangeline asked if she could join me. Later on, as we embraced, the subject of Brisket Palin’s thighs came up. I became so angry that I squeezed Evangeline too hard, causing her to expel a bit of shrimp cocktail she’d eaten earlier into the sea, where it was promptly devoured by a large Carcharidon carcharius.

    I am so pleased you asked. My wife and I met whilst attending separate international studies programs at UNAM. Our paths never crossed on campus, but we encountered one another following devotions in a chapel on Quasimodo Sunday. Nine (9) weeks later we were married and our 40th anniversary is in sight? A miracle. A German and an American on a huge campus in Mexico meeting each other. We are the most imperfect of people, to be sure, but the most perfect of matches.

    Stop, I’m blushing…tee hee

    First off you’re an idiot. Secondly, aren’t liberals the ones pushing for drug decriminalization and abortion rights. How is allowing people to choose what they want to do with their bodies antithetical to freedom?

    First, people with common sense are trying to push for the decriminalization of drugs, but most of that fight is for legalization of Marijuana. There are plenty of conservatives in this fight. They are call Libertarian like me and Beck, Jason Lewis and others. Libertarians are fiscal conservatives, but on many social issues like Gay marriage we tend to not care as long as it’s not mandatory. Generally, if something doesn’t directly harm me or someone else than for the most part we don’t think there should be a law prohibiting that activity. Libertarians may not condone a particular activity but that doesn’t mean we want to prohibit that activity.

    Second, abortion. I can see both sides, but if someone believes that life begins in he womb then killing that life is murder. Now this is a legal issues in many ways. What if the fetus is 6 to 8 months old. In most cases that baby could live outside the womb if premature. You don’t think that’s not murder if purposely aborted with no significant heath risk to the mother. They just decide they don’t want it. Google Obama + abortion.

    But , pregnancy is also a personal responsibility issue. Except for cases of rape, wasn’t it the personal responsibility of the 2 parties that caused the pregnancy to not get pregnant in the first place? In this day and age were birth control and condoms are readily available what are the excuses. I know in rare instances birth control pills may not work but doctors tell the person this up front. People really shouldn’t be having unprotected sex unless they are ready to take the responsibility of dealing with a pregnancy. I believe the so called “right to decide what to do with your body” argument is a cop out. So you think it’s ok that some people use abortion as a primary means of birth control? I can see where the legal system may says yes but I can also certainly see how people view this as morally repugnant. It also cheapens our society’s view of the gift of life right up to the point where they deny heath care to old people.

    If everyone has the right to do to “their” body anything they want then why do we try to stop suicides or why do we put people in psychiatric wards we know want to commit suicide or have already tried. In your argument we should just let them.

    Some great abortion news for the sheep to ponder. Do sheep ponder?

    This may be as ghastly a story outside of the Tucson massacre as we’ll see all year … I hope. An abortionist arrested in Philadelphia faces eight counts of murder, one for the death of a patient, and the other seven for killing babies who survived his botched abortions. The district attorney alleges that Kermit Gosnell used a pair of scissors to sever their spinal cords: http://hotair.com/archives/2011/01/19/abortionist-faces-eight-counts-of-murder-in-philadelphia/

    Share this with your abortion loving sheep. Late term abortion, what every sheep believes a woman can do for her own body.

    I am disappointed that Bombshell has not posted so we will know how this is yet another Beck conspiracy.

    I love this clumsy dance Beckerhead and the otherFOX “News” personalities do:

    #1 Cable “News” Network

    Bungle a fact, make a fact up, lie about a fact, it’s not news, it’s commentary.

    Get overheated, perhaps racist, xenophobic or homophobic, it’s not commentary, it’s comedy.

    Very, very bad comedy, “I’m a Victim.”

    Got any specific example or are you just throwing mud on a wall hoping some sticks? This is a common liberal trait.

    How do you make up a fact. Oh ya, that’s right..That’s what you just did.
    How do you lie about a fact? If it’s a fact it’s not a lie.
    How is Beck or anyone else at FOX racist, xenophobic or homophobic in their commentary?
    Got any examples?
    Again, making up facts as you call it.

    Just because a person wants immigration laws enforced doesn’t make them xenophobic? Most of us on the right don’t care who comes into this country as long as we know who they are and they come here legally.

    By the way where the heck is GBR. I mean this is a Glenn Beck topic after all. I’m not complaining, I was just wondering. It’s not like him to miss a GB topic. I sincerely hope nothing bad happen to him. Well, not real bad. Just joking.

    Now, I will feel bad if something did happen to him…Maybe.

    Just out of curiosity, what do you think should be done with people who repeatedly allow themselves to become pregnant but have no means to support their spawn?

    You have to make up your mind. One day I’m told to “get a life,” and the next wonder (and I’ve seen this repeatedly) why I’m not commenting on something.

    Beck seems to be civilizing his harsh and vitriolic rhetoric post-Tuscon tragedy, and I commend that. However, for Beck to offer up the excuse that he was joking was just a stupid rationalization. No one laughed. I mean that literally. When Olbermann jokes, usually during his oddball segment, people around him can be heard laughing. When Beck talks about killing people, that’s just not funny. Beck has been making overt calls to violence in coded language for two years. His gullible supporters only hear the calls for non-violence, but Beck’s rhetoric has called for bloodshed.

    watch “jesse ventura censored” before Obama’s croonies remove it from the web. They pulled it from TV because Ventura showed what Obama has in store for America. FEMA reprograming centers for political disidents & hundreds of thousands of coffins. Watch it while you still can. Vote Obuma out 2012!

  • http://sharethisurlaboutglennbeck.com/ GlennBeckReview

    Ventura doesn’t know what’s in store for America any more than Glenn Beck know the future. Sheesh! Speaking of removing things from the web, Mr. Free Speech is deleting my comments from his website. So much for his principle on free speech and encouraging dissent! Beck is such a hypocrite, it’s mind boggling!

  • http://sharethisurlaboutglennbeck.com/ GlennBeckReview

    This comment by Beck, telling Vieira to “ask the Simpsons” was so bone headed, I thought that he was not intelligent; but I have updated my view since then. He was clumsily deflecting valid criticism, but he’s no bone head. Au contraire: It’s so weird: when my wife listens to Beck, she gets “an overwhelming feeling of evil.” I asked her why, and she said that she could tell that he is a liar by HOW he speaks.

    I’m more empirical and philosophically trained. Beck lies and we prove this day after day. I have a long list of posts detailing Beck’s false claims, and I don’t post nearly all the ones I know about. I have a large unused file detailing many of Beck’s lies.

    Beck is on the wrong side of history again, but — not surprising — he was on the side of democracy in the Middle East in support of Bush’s war of choice against Iraq. He hasn’t changed his mind: Glenn Beck is a hypocrite through and through. I prove this with facts and logic over and over again. And this begs the question: why does Beck has such a large following?

    Yes, he’s persuasive and cunning and gifted. He’s also highly skilled at manipulating his viewers; Beck is a master manipulator. Why else would more of his followers not hear the lies I could detect before starting The Glenn Beck Review. He programs his viewers to dismiss any and all criticism of him, no matter how factual and unbiased, no matter how honest. This has led me to a recent re-evaluation of his intellect as of late. He’s still ignorant about the world, but he’s very bright, clever, gifted, persuasive and intelligent. It’s taken a while to see that, but the link about his manipulation skills forced me into rethinking just how smart he is.

    It’s still all about Glenn Beck. His motivations, according to Beck’s biographer, Alex Zaitchik, “are, and have always been, money and fame. If Beck has a true religion, it’s not Patriotism. It’s not Mormonism. It’s cross-platform self-marketing.” Those who do not grasp this about him, can not hear his lies or hypocrisies, do not recognize that this uneducated, ignorant man is a charlatan and yellow propagandist, are victims more than they are supporters. They are to be pitied, not respected.

    Glenn Beck…what a stupid cock sucker!!! This dumbass, washed up, dry mormon alcoholic has no excuses for his hate speech. In short, he has no personal or journalistic integrity and it is pretty obvious that he is just a mockingbird for someone elses twisted views. He never went to college, knows nothing about American History, World History, The US Constitution, World Religions or God and honestly, is too stupid to come up with that vile spew he calls programming. Next time he starts injected God into one of his twisted programs, someone needs to ask hime which of the many many gods of mormonism it is that speaks to him. The mormon cult is polytheistic and teaches many gods. In retrospect, the religion of Islam has far more in common with Christianity.
