Gay Panic! Glenn Beck Threatens To Kiss Rick Santorum ‘In The Mouth’

video
» 67 comments

Glenn Beck scored a lengthy interview with presidential candidate Rick Santorum today. The two men discussed many issues including courage, Israel, and faith. Then Beck threatened to “kiss [Santorum] in the mouth.” It was awesomely and charmingly uncomfortable.

The moment came when Santorum said he both liked and had signed the GOP’s Cut Cap Balance Pledge. Beck was thrilled to hear it. So thrilled that, when Santorum went in for a handshake, Beck implied he could go further. The Fox News host quickly backtracked, the studio crew cracked up, and Santorum’s face flashed an expression that seemed to say something like, “Holy crap, the Internet is going to go crazy.”

Really, the big question here is, “in” the mouth? Why “in?”

    I wonder how GOP is going to balance the budget when more than half of their representatives and senators support the war one way or the other. Cutting social programs and keeping the war going means more of your tax payer money goes to Afghanisthan.

    Democrats are just as worse. They’d love to get out of Afghanisthan (most of them), but remain silent on how Obama has called for Afghan Troop reduction, which is too little and just in time for Elections.( Don’t forget Libya too!).

    And when one of these parties try to cut budget.. they do that by trying to cut NPR and Planned Parenthood(which make up so little of our budget), just to show the American people that they are cutting. BS.
    Cut our empire, it makes up to 50% of our budget.
    RESTORE THE CONSTITUTION. END : Undeclared wars, Unnecessary programs(including PP and NPR), Unnecessary Foreign involvement, the IRS, Federal Reserve, Corporatist control of Gov. STOP: expanding Executive authority. DEFINE: meaning to the elasticity clause.

    And only then will the federal government would be restored and the budget be balanced. Not through some phony pledge to balance the budget. The major flaw in both parties is that NONE of them want to follow the constitution. No wonder our federal government is rapidly growing, while we are having a pointless discussions.

    Curious pattern of behavior. If he agrees with your political philosophy, Beck wants to kiss you in the mouth.
    If he opposes your beliefs, he simply wants to f*ck you up the ass.

    It’s only bad if it’s a republican. Otherwise they defend gay rights until death (or politics) do them part. lol

    This “spreading santorum” campaign is the lowest thing Ive ever seen in politics- Ive never seen someone’s name purposely turned into a weapon of revulsion before, complete with lowlife comment trolls being the gleeful perpetrators of this filth.

    You all should be ashamed of yourselves. Is there no tactic that is beneath you?

    By the way, Jon Bershad: the Kiss you ‘in the mouth’ reference had a prior meaning.

    I have to ask ~ is kissing someone in the mouth the same as a French kiss? LOL You certainly must all know Glenn was just joking? Just as you much all know by now that you never know what will pass from the lips of Glenn Beck ~ full PUN intended! LMAO!!!!

    Mr. Bershad: do you have some software over there at Mediaite that scans media for keywords, or did you just start watching Beck halfway through this interview? I can’t see any other ways you could “innocently” skew this into “Beck threatening Santorum with a kiss” and “gay panic”? This episode had nothing to do with homosexuality, and they had earlier been recalling an occassion when Santorum had once been a guest by phone on Becks radio show in 2003, back when YOU were in high school Mr. Bershad. In 2003, over the phone, Beck joked in response to an agreeable statement by Santorum, that he could “Kiss you in the mouth.” Beck was making a joke by repeating the 2003 phone statement as it was applicable today, because of Becks praise for Santorums remark you see in the vid here…. Gosh things become so much less funny tho when left out of context and then have to be explained…..

    It is odd that Frothymix and DryDrunk get along so well. Afterall, Frothy carried around the corpse of he and his wife’s fetus for days, even making his live children hold it and DryDrunk mocked a woman (the wife of a rival DJ) who had just had a miscarriage:

    “A couple days after Kelly’s wife, Terry, had a miscarriage, Beck called her live on the air and says, ‘We hear you had a miscarriage,’ ” remembers Brad Miller, a former Y95 DJ and Clear Channel programmer. “When Terry said, ‘Yes,’ Beck proceeded to joke about how Bruce [Kelly] apparently can’t do anything right — about he can’t even have a baby.”

    Two class(less) acts.

    I doubt that was a threat. Especially given the fact that Beck most likely blew Santorum before and after the show.

    Quit complaining about the Santorum lube joke. Sick Rick brought it on himself. You do not condemn an entire group of people and expect us to “take it”.

    What twisted logic you have. I think Santorum has a backward philosophy when it comes to gay rights, but
    all you are doing is perpetuating evil and hate speech, and validating any vile thoughts your opposition had about you in the process. If anything all it does is garner sympathy for him.

    You can’t protest injustice by perpetrating an injustice on someone else. Do you not see this is wrong?

    Sorry, but you lost any moral high ground you had against Santorum when you endorse this.

    This whole saga makes the gay rights coalition look despicable and willing to go to depths never before reached in public discourse in order to destroy their political opponents.

    The embrace of the dark side is the wrong way to try win a debate for the hearts and minds of the public.

    You think a a simple joke is as bad or worse than a man calling for the criminalization of an entire class of people and comparing their consensual sexual union to incest, rape, or bestiality all because he CHOOSES to believe a certain collection of myths as true?

    What are you implying with your avatar? Are you not embracing the dark side and perpetrating an injustice against our President?

    I am not a fan of Howard Stern. Don’t care for him at all.

    Beck admitted he pulled the miscarriage “prank” call – what’s your point?

    Are you a fan of Limbaugh? Weiner/Savage? Borowitz?

    Im happy to have that discussion once the “spreading santorum” campaign is disavowed.

    The funny thing is, Im no supporter of Santorum on this and I think you’d find we’d agree on many things, but you forced me to defend him here.

    Im sorry, but Its not a simple joke- I think you would offend Dan Savage by saying that. I thought you would be better than to play dumb about this and pretend this is an innocent prank.

    The truth is this a malicious, orchestrated attempt to destroy a political opponent in the most vulgar way possible, and there is no justification for it. It beyond the bounds of decency and is incomparable to anything I can think of due to its vulgarity.

    But go ahead, laugh it off as a joke- all it does is show everyone the dirty tactics you endorse to score political points- and that does no good for the cause you are trying to defend.
