Glenn Beck Accuses Fareed Zakaria Of Being An “Out And Out America Basher”

audio
» 148 comments

On Glenn Beck’s television show yesterday, he brought up one of his favorite pieces of literature, Cass Sunstein’s 2008 essay on conspiracy theorists (PDF) which lists ways the government might combat them. One suggestion advises the government to “hire credible private parties to engage in counterspeech.” On today’s radio show, Beck told us who one of these private parties might be; none other than Fareed Zakaria!

Now, Beck and Zakaria have had their little spats before. A few months ago, Zakaria took umbrage with Beck’s assertion that 10% of Muslims are terrorists. However, Zakaria really got on Glenn Beck’s bad side this weekend with his interview with perennial enemy of Beck (or Beckemy), George Soros. Beck responded to the interview thusly:

“Now you have people like Zakaria, Fareed Zakaria, who’s just an out and out America basher. Here’s a guy who came up against me. What a surprise, now, that he’s had two interviews with George Soros. And he’s one of the useful idiots who’s being used by the Left to come against me.”

Also in the clip, Beck accused Soros of “smelling like sausage and cigarrettes” which, in my opinion, is more damning than twelve chalkboards worth of sinister connections.

    I can’t even think of an apt analogy for this. Glenn Beck calling Fareed Zakaria an idiot. That’s like….I don’t know. That’s like Hitler calling Obama a nazi. There. I found one.

    And from another article:

    the vast majority of Libyan oil exports are sold to European countries like Italy (425,000 bbl/d), Germany (178,000 bbl/d), France (133,000 bbl/d), and Spain (115,000).

    Now where have I heard lately that all this unrest in the Middle East could affect Europe? Remember that crazy conspiracy theory???

    This is one time I would have to agree with Glenn. Over the years I have studiously watched many commentators and was impressed with knowledge as much as delivery. But the message I consistently received from Fareed is that he was not real happy with just about anything the US was involved with domestic or afar.

    Not being a malcontent as being a designated captain of sorts to opposition off the field of play. Fareed is a smart man but sometimes I had a hard time understanding that he might actually be playing a role more than believing some of the things he was saying.

    This is not a white-brown-black issue, has to do with allegiance and loyalties more than anything. His allegiance is to his job. I don’t know what side of the fence Fareed stands, for the US or against us, or just filling a chair?

    Now that it is clear the daytime soaps have managed to clone themselves via the internet…who is going to do the real reporting? While it is nice to witness firsthand, the back stabbing so prevalent in media, I’m not a soap opry kinda guy. I don’t care if Olbermann, is a cross dresser, Beck ,bi-polar, Couric a con(Tainer),Matthews, a premature ejaculator, O’Rielly, a JR Ewing, Maddow, an Hombre, Scarborough, a scab, Brezinski, a tampon hoarder. At the end of the day, all are Convolutionists. Like the gossip queens, the view, the talk, et and the rest, they serve no viable social function. They contaminate logic and free will. Why do we need them? Why do we indulge their desperatre rhetoric? Why do so many stand behind barricades (like wistful cattle awaiting a psychological slaughter), to smell these media malcontents? Zakaria, is just another monkey in the media mix…absolutely worthless to the challenges we face as a nation. All of them strive to divert US from the issue that really matter. How about family? Maybe, some lessons in self defense? Which is an absolute necessity in these times, when our communities are being overrun by thugs from every ethnic denomination. Real thugs. Deadly thugs. Don’t we owe it to our sons and daughters who bravely face our enemies abroad? To protect the homeland? The Mexican cartels, the Russian mob, islamic lunatics are brilliantly infiltrating the very core of our birthright, and these goons do noting but divert US from grenuine responsibilities, and misinform. Timothy Leary, missed the point in his hallucinatory state of mind…we need to “lock & load”, prioritize, execute and respect every freedom we enjoy.

  • timcajun

    I heard Clown Beck’s spin on the radio. He covered several lies. He never heard of Zakaria before, ( he attacked him before) Soros agreed with him so he’s always right, (it was a wonderful cut and paste word chop job) The end is near and he told you so, (he takes credit for the sun coming out) at one point, while hocking his wears, he told everyone to go buy a gun (which the scum really means “do it”) one of his stooges tried to cover for him! That is how he gets by with this crap. He lies, gets caught then says he didn’t mean it, when he did! The sheep eat it up! Long live the hate and remember they’re coming to get you!

    That is not what Beck claimed in his absurd, not crazy, conspiracy theory. He claimed that Western radicals were in conspiracy with reactionary Muslims, and the price of oil has nothing to do with this. Beck also claimed that Europe would become incorporated into a Islamic Caliphate, and rising oil prices have nothing to do with that either.

    What you’re attempting to do is what good minions do, even those who follow a buffoon like Beck, i.e., rationalize the irrational. By irrational, I do not mean crazy; I mean emotional and “feel it in your gut” non-rational tricks that Beck employs to get his audience to not think. Beck’s skill at manipulating gullible and easily misinformed people is extraordinary.

    This is no joke tgk; Beck has people believing things that are dumb, misinformed and of another reality (Beck’s made-up reality). You can bend over backwards so far to rationalize Beck’s absurd claims that you end up kissing your own ass, but don’t think that rational people are not going to laugh at the absurd claims Beck makes and at the nonsense spewed by the sheeple who actually believe that this charlatan and hypocrite knows what he’s talking about.

    There are reasons why conservatives are speaking out more and more against the absurd nonsense that Beck spouts: they don’t want to be associated in voter’s minds with the ignorant nonsense that Beck spouts and has been spouting for years. If George Will ever grows a pair, he may finally add his name to the list of intelligent conservatives to those denouncing Beck for his absurd nonsense.

    One bit of nonsense worth pointing at: Beck, a college drop out, is calling Zakeria, who has a BA from Yale and a Phd from Harvard, a “useful idiot.” Beck does a lot of projecting of his faults onto others, and this is just another example. It is Beck who more closely resembles the useful idiot. Useful, that is, to the Koch brothers and other billionaires who want to push this country into class war and revolution by destroying the middle class.

    I put idiot in quotes, because Beck is not idiot. He has a following of millions because he’s a clever and gifted propagandist. He’s a rabble rouser, but he’s not an idiot. He just plays one of three on the radio.

    You are talking about “criminals”, you moron. I have never said they don’t exist.

    Gangs have been defined as “criminal enterprises” no matter what color of skin. Gangs continue to survive as long as they make a profit. And since a “gangsta” career is rather short, gangs need new recruits every day.

    Oh, FYI, I and my friends never bought into their herd mentality. I have also been beaten up and one of my friends got killed by a*sholes on a random revenge spree. So spare me your BS about “I was a victim” to justify your bigotry.

    Hey! I can set the record stright on this one. As a former gangbanger myself (back in the day when car antennas were vogue, along with the occasional switchblade and zip-gun), we were PUNKS. Pack rats.
    The poles, hispanics, blacks, italians all hated each other for no fathomable reason but turf, and the idiotic prejudices of their parents. But we had a semblance of honor. Today, gangbangers are even bigger PUNKS! Absoluitely, no discretion, or respect for dignity and life. I don’t know how we got so far off topic here. Must have something to do with those genetic aberrations. You know, the ones that decieve us into thinking, our view is always right. Those mental deficiencies, which close doors and perpetuate division. Much like the media does. Which brings us back to the topic here. Two opposing media idiots, who don’t have the balls to meet in an alley or a ring, and settle their differences with a few well placed knuckles. Pretty much, like the PUNKS in a gang.

    Don’t worry, Bovine. I won’t thank you. As I’ve said, I don’t have a problem with black people in general. But you take offense if I say I’ve ever encountered a bad black person. Why so touchy? If I said I’d encountered some white gang bangers who weren’t so nice, you’d have no problem with it. That’s your racism on display.

    BTW, saying ‘au contraire’ doesn’t lend credibility to your claim you’re not the King.

    I have encountered black people and I must say those experiences were horrible. We have to start telling the truth about people in this country. Most people that commit crimes in this country are people of color. You libs need to stop being so pc and admit that colored people are violent by nature.

  • writer

    BTW, BTW Bovine. If you’ll go back to your 1:40 post, you’ll see that you asked me to regale you with things we’d discussed before. I didn’t bring it up. You did.

    Take it easy GBR. I think you guys that hate Glenn take him 10 times more seriously than people that listen to him. It is YOU guys that looked unhinged, not his listeners. Typical Beck listeners just believe the things he talks about should be looked at and paid attention to. You guys are the ones that that seem to see some big “danger” in listening to him. I admit there are those Beck fans that go overboard and seem obsessive, but I believe that is true for EVERY public figure.

    Bovine, if you were to say Ted Bundy was a bad guy, and I’d jump in and say that it’s bigoted to say that because Bundy was white, you’d think that was stupid. But when it comes to criminals of color, that’s exactly the position you take. And it’s pretty frickin’ stupid.

    King, it’s really unnecessary to argue with me under two names. And again, if you’ll notice your, I mean Bovine’s, 1:40 post, you, I mean he, brought it up. And King, I realize your attendance at all white private schools makes you (or Bovine) an expert in such matters.

  • writer

    Guys, or guy, this is getting nowhere. I fully understand your position. I’ll sum it up this way. Ted Bundy was a serial killer. He was white. It’s okay to say he was a bad guy. Alton Coleman was a serial killer. He was black. It would be bigoted to say he was a bad guy. I get it.

    I don’t know. I went to an all White, 95% Catholic boarding school, and I can assure you Kumquat would have been chased, knocked down and beaten up every day there. Sometimes, even by his fellow students after the priests and nuns were finished with him. The fact that those who allegedly chased him were Black had nothing to do with race. He’s just obnoxious.

He is an idiot who knows nothing about American History, World History, World Religions or the US Constitution.

Someone writes the crap that he presents on his radio and TV shows as he is just too stupid to come up with that stuff on his own.

  • mibwilso

    Please. Fareed Zakaria is one of the few adults on TV these days.

    His program is quite balanced….but I’m sure he gets attacked by both sides because it’s not a partisan food fight.

    The other reason some of the hard partisans don’t like him is because global issues can’t always be construed into a US-Style Left Vs Right paradigm.

    If you want to see informed adults from varying perspectives having a mature discussion about real issues, then you should watch his show.

  • mibwilso

    I watch his show regularly, and I’ve rarely seen any episode where both liberal and conservative viewpoints were not shown.

    If you want people just rehashing talking points from the right or the left, this ain’t the show for you. Try Meet the Press instead.

  • mibwilso

    You know a journalist is doing a good job when he/she gets attacked from both the left AND the right.

    Come folks, the Liberal wing has it’s millionaires, Soros and others, and it’s think tanks, and MSNBC and some CNN. The Right wing has, FOX and 3-4 opinion hosts, Heritage Foundation, Koch Bros. Ok,so we don’t have to pretend this is NEWS, all political sides have it’s financial supporters, ideology supporters in the media. So Glenn
    can act shocked at liberal methods of pushing their agenda, which his side does also. Rachael can act shocked and disgusted at the methods Conservatives use to push their agenda, which her side does also. Both look at a given set of “facts” and draw different conclusions and both are in agreement that the other side is EVIL ! …..and you wonder why people don’t watch TV for news in the past numbers. A million eyeballs watch Rachael and 2-3 million watch Glenn….so put in perspective, half of NYC watches these two…and the rest of the country does not .
    What people ARE using for news gathering might be much more interesting.

  • mibwilso

    Beck is upset because Fareed has called him out several times.

    But if you watch his show regularly, you would know that Fareed has also gone after Keith Olberman and other liberals from time to time too.

    A lot of liberals don’t like Fareed because they think he’s too centrist.

  • mibwilso

    Fareed’s show is a welcome break from the other Sunday shows.

    On the other sunday shows you basically know the line-up:

    Mitch McConnell vs Debbie Wasserman-Schultz

    John Cornyn vs Dick Durbin

    Lindsay Graham vs. Chuck Schumer.

    And don’t forget, of course, the panel discussion with a bunch of old columnists/strategists from the 1980s and 90s.
