Glenn Beck Is Concerned For Obama’s Safety On India Trip

video
» 152 comments

The main uproar over President Barack Obama’s upcoming trip to India is how much it may or may not cost, but Glenn Beck (while also wondering some about the cost) has a different question: will the president be safe?

Beck didn’t elaborate much on the cost speculation (except to say we don’t really know what the figures are), but did voice concern that the president isn’t paying attention to advice from the Secret Service, and that he’s staying at a hotel (the Taj Mahal Palace) where some of the deadly terrorist attacks in Mumbai two years ago took place. Especially worrisome to Beck, though, was whether or not the Secret Service was allowed to change the president’s itinerary and routes after the prospective trip was canceled previously.

Though Beck said he’s personally against the trip (he wondered why Obama couldn’t simply pick up the phone and accomplish much of what he plans to on the trip), the segment below doesn’t live up to the divisive reputation some have given him. No matter how hyper-partisan rhetoric on either side of the aisle gets, most people can still agree they don’t want to see anyone harmed personally.

    perhaps you could find the audio from his radio show today where Beck was railing against the “200 million” per day….. then being concerned about Obama’s safety

    Can’t wait to see the way the Lefty haters spin this one.

  • Michéle

    When someone makes an honest comment like this, those that have a predisposed opinion will find something to mar this remark.

    In the end, I hope when any president goes abroad that our fine secret service keep our president safe.

    Beck, may have been discussing this as part of a broader discussion, but in the end the most disagreeable of people can agree on some fundamental issues.

    Just a thought…..

    Mr Davis, you wrote a very unbiased article thank you.

  • Big_F-ing_Deal

    Glenn, stop repeating the already debunked numbers, please.

    IF YOU DONT KNOW THE NUMBERS THEN DONT GIVE ANY NUMBERS HOW HARD IS THAT YOU JACKASS!!!??!?!

    BTW, this segment is not about Glenn’s concern for Obama’s safety, it is about getting his fans riled up Obama is even going at all.

    Any idiot can see that so with all due respect I don’t see why you don’t, Glenn Davis

    He may have discussed in another forum, but the author, Mr Davis was discussing his cable TV show, I applaude him for keeping to the facts of this story.

    Also Glenn wants Obama to talk to the 9/11 families? You mean the same families you trashed and said you don’t care about?

    Glenn D, your tenderness toward Glenn B is going to make me cry (and I’m nowhere near a jar of vicks vapo rub) and how wonderful of you not to distinguish between the TV GlennB and the radio Glenn B cause that radio GlennB is a real nutcase all he could talk about today is how much that muslim BHO is costing the taxpayer on this trip and how totally upset the INDIANS ARE CAUSE HE IS GOiNG TO MAKE A MESS!

  • Big_F-ing_Deal

    Lovely, O’Reilly just made a joke about beheading Dana Milbank. Ha. Ha.

    I know it was a joke, but it’s an inappropriate one.

    He also said he and Megyn should kick Dana’s ass. Another joke. I wonder how long it will take for a Fox fan to carry through on this “joke” for besmirching the lovely Megyn. Watch you back, Milbank.

    I don’t understand O’Reilly. Why does he even need to joke about violence. It’s not funny. Know what laughs at jokes like that, I don’t think. I think it fulfills some subconsciousness wishful thinking of his.

    To paraphrase Finchy, “Let’s see the way the Righty’s spin this!”.

    So he hates .03% of the families, and you turn that into the claim that he hates all 9/11 families? Isn’t your claim claim a 99.97% lie?

    Saying he hates 9/11 families is not consistent with what Beck actually said (namely, that he hates about 10 o fteh families). Pat’s statement was deliberately misleading.

    You didn’t watch the clip did you? He was talking about the alleged cash card riots in the Astrodome by Katrina victims. But, I am not calling you a liar, as you did me, only noting that you are ignorant of the facts because you didn’t view the clip.

    Of course, my favorite clip is when Beckerhead talks about President Obama’s hatred of white people at 0.38 and racism is the White House at about 2.00

    He said he hated the (10 or so) families that continually got ALL of the media exposure because they continually floated conspiracy theories about government involvement in 9/11. Disrespecting the thousands who mourned and grieved about the loss of their loved ones. Many of THOSE families ALSO despised the ones who shamelessly continually got their pusses on cable TV.

    On Katrina, the “scumbags” that he was referring to (he said this himself) were the people who were constantly shown on cable news breaking into stores, stealing and vandalizing, and robbing others. Those people weren’t scumbags?

    You don’t pay much attention to this sort of thing, do you, Glenn? Beck’s been praying for the President’s safety for months now. It serves two schticks of his: (1) that Obama is the puppet of some powerful and quite crowded cabal, who can just turn his lights out anytime it suits them; and (2) that the President’s death would precipitate a Leftist revolt (yeah, really, an armed revolt, with fighting in the streets, because that’s what we on the Left do, while the reluctant redneck simply holds his infant son, praises the Lord, kisses his wife, sighs, and goes to fetch his fahr-arm). Here the generous prayers–let’s call them, “crocodile prayers”–are being used to demonstrate that Obama is so arrogant he would choose to ignore our noble Secret Service (some of whom Beck is proud to call friends. ) It’s patent crap, Glenn, and if you can’t see it, you’re in the wrong business.

    I mean, really, think about it. Here’s a guy who probably couldn’t get a clearance to pick up his daughter at daycare, presuming to know anything at all about the POTUS/SS relationship. And that whole “just askin’ questions” routine? The president’s security is none of our friggin’ business, and the reason for the trip to India is manifest: India, then Indonesia, then Japan, are on the way to South Korea, where they’re having a G20 summit in a week.

    By the way, Beck never mentioned the G20 on his radio show today (not that I heard, anyway), and he made it sound like Obama was taking his Michelle-to-Spain trip, but with every roster in NBA in tow. (I have to admit, P-Diddly *is* a funny name…but only for the first 30 times it’s guffawed at me.) Beck on the radio acted especially bent of shape about the 43 warships that the President was purportedly commandeering for the trip. Therefore, he couldn’t make much out of the G20 swing, because those in his audience too stupid to recognize that the $2BN figure was on its face absurd (that’s one week in Iraq at the worst of the insurgency), just might figure out that steaming 43 warships from India to Indonesia to Japan to Korea, through the China Sea, in ten days, is impossible.

    Please try to do better, Glenn. Both of you.

    King, I think it is a VERY viable point that many of the families who lost loved ones on 9/11 have publicly said that they are disgusted and insulted by others who also lost loved ones floating out conspiracy theories that the government was involved in 9/11. These are the (very few) families that liberal outlets used to float out these ridiculous theories. If others who also lost loved ones can be disgusted by them, can’t Beck?

    Frankly, the Gore matter is patently absurd, AF, and rather beneath you to force such a ludicrous causal connection. You are far, far brighter than that. No incitement here at all.

    As to Stevens, I don’t think it prudent to have invited him. Apparently, he is the mist of some remorse, repentance and rehabilitation. I applaud that as much as I believe the invitation to be, as best, premature. But, you fail on the causal connection again, AF. Did the subject of Bill-o’s irresponsible, inflammatory get murdered.

    If O’Reilly hadn’t said “Tiller the baby killer” the guy would still have been murdered. The death threats go back to the early ’90′s, and there had ALREADY been one murder attempt on Tiller where he was shot and survived. Was the “Tiller the baby killer” thing over the top? Yeah, I think it was. That said, I think that Dr. George Tiller was a disgusting, dispicable human being. All you have to do is search the web to find former patients and former employees sharing stories of the very late term, elective abortions that, in some cases, unsure patients were talked INTO. Many people are pro-abortion. Very, very, very, very few support the late term, viable fetus killing that Tiller was doing.

    But the difference is that Tiller’s killer never claimed to have been inspired by Bill O’Reilly. This guy was, by his own testimony, inspired by Al Gore. That’s the difference between causation and speculation.

    But for the record, I don’t think either Gore or O’Reilly is at fault. I think the nutcases are at fault. Both Gore and O’Reilly were engaged in fair debate, and they can’t be responsible for some nut case who comes along and twists their criticism into violence.

    The only person in these examples who actually, truly incited violence was Cat Stevens, who you have chosen to defend through your alternate persona Iris. And, by the way, even Cat Steven’s incitement was still constitutionally protected under generally accepted First Amendment principles (i.e., the Brandenberg test), so I’m not saying that even Cat Stevens should have been censored or punished. Rather, I’m just saying Stevens should be shunned and should not be cheered by a crowd looking for “sanity.”

It raises the issue of Bill-o’s constant moral culpability, and leads us to ask how appropriate it is for Murdoch and Ailes to constantly provide a forum for such hate-filled and inflammatory comments.

    But the difference is that Tiller’s killer never claimed to have been inspired by Bill O’Reilly. This guy was, by his own testimony, inspired by Al Gore. That’s the difference between causation and speculation. But for the record, I don’t think either Gore or O’Reilly is at fault. I think the nutcases are at fault. Both Gore and O’Reilly were engaged in fair debate, and they can’t be responsible for some nut case who comes along and twists their criticism into violence. The only person in these examples who actually, truly incited violence was Cat Stevens, who you have chosen to defend through your alternate persona Iris. And, by the way, even Cat Steven’s incitement was still constitutionally protected under generally accepted First Amendment principles (i.e., the Brandenberg test), so I’m not saying that even Cat Stevens should have been censored or punished. Rather, I’m just saying Stevens should be shunned and should not be cheered by a crowd looking for “sanity.”

    No, Bill-o is not legally culpable. Only morally so.

    So much liberal hate all in one place…………

    Facts about Beckerhead and Bill-o are evidence of liberal hate? Well, the rightists do go to great lengths to absolve Beckerhead and Bill-o of any personal responsibility and to exonerate them. I guess all you have to argue is the hatefulness of those who expose the truth and make you uncomfortable as a consequence.

    If O’Reilly hadn’t said “Tiller the baby killer” the guy would still have been murdered. The death threats go back to the early ’90’s, and there had ALREADY been one murder attempt on Tiller where he was shot and survived. Was the “Tiller the baby killer” thing over the top? Yeah, I think it was. That said, I think that Dr. George Tiller was a disgusting, dispicable human being. All you have to do is search the web to find former patients and former employees sharing stories of the very late term, elective abortions that, in some cases, unsure patients were talked INTO. Many people are pro-abortion. Very, very, very, very few support the late term, viable fetus killing that Tiller was doing.

    We agree on many points here, Andy.

    No, this is crap. Again, you have no causal link between Tiller’s murder and O’Reilly. All you have is the serendipitous correlation that O’Reilly criticized Tiller and then Tiller was killed. That’s not incitement. It’s coincidence. If somebody kills Bill O’Reily tomorrow, does that make Keith Olbermann responsible? Can I put together a montage of Olbermann calling O’Reilly the “worst person in the world” over and over and over again to prove Olbermann’s moral culpability for the acts of a crazy third party? Of course not. That would be ridiculous.

    That’s the hypocrisy of the Cat Stevens glorification that happened last weekend. You liberals go around yelling “Incitement! Incitement!” every chance you get in order to silence conservatives. But when you witness a thug who has truly incited violence against an innocent man, you cheer him in the name of “peace” and “sanity.”

    So, by your reasoning, if you believe that a 8-month old fetus is a human being (what a radical idea!) and you criticize someone who makes a living by killing such beings as a “baby killer,” you are morally culpable if someone else then kills that person? No, I don’t think so. Calling someone a killer does not imply or condone the the murder of that person in cold blood.

    Again, you leftists call George W. Bush a killer and war criminal every day. If someone shoots Bush tomorrow, are you morally responsible for his death? Of course not. You are engaged in legitimate–if hyperbolic and distasteful–political discourse. You are not inciting violence, legally or morally.

In fact, although I believe the facts might support indictment of Big Dick Cheney as a war criminal, I have specifically argued it is best for the nation that such charges not be pressed in the US, in the World Court or by the various European nations, the Netherlands and Italy, in particular, which have threatened to do so.

    You don’t pay much attention to this sort of thing, do you, Glenn? Beck’s been praying for the President’s safety for months now. It serves two schticks of his: (1) that Obama is the puppet of some powerful and quite crowded cabal, who can just turn his lights out anytime it suits them; and (2) that the President’s death would precipitate a Leftist revolt (yeah, really, an armed revolt, with fighting in the streets, because that’s what we on the Left do, while the reluctant redneck simply holds his infant son, praises the Lord, kisses his wife, sighs, and goes to fetch his fahr-arm). Here the generous prayers–let’s call them, “crocodile prayers”–are being used to demonstrate that Obama is so arrogant he would choose to ignore our noble Secret Service (some of whom Beck is proud to call friends. ) It’s patent crap, Glenn, and if you can’t see it, you’re in the wrong business.

    I mean, really, think about it. Here’s a guy who probably couldn’t get a clearance to pick up his daughter at daycare, presuming to know anything at all about the POTUS/SS relationship. And that whole “just askin’ questions” routine? The president’s security is none of our friggin’ business, and the reason for the trip to India is manifest: India, then Indonesia, then Japan, are on the way to South Korea, where they’re having a G20 summit in a week.

    By the way, Beck never mentioned the G20 on his radio show today (not that I heard, anyway), and he made it sound like Obama was taking his Michelle-to-Spain trip, but with every roster in NBA in tow. (I have to admit, P-Diddly *is* a funny name…but only for the first 30 times it’s guffawed at me.) Beck on the radio acted especially bent of shape about the 43 warships that the President was purportedly commandeering for the trip. Therefore, he couldn’t make much out of the G20 swing, because those in his audience too stupid to recognize that the $2BN figure was on its face absurd (that’s one week in Iraq at the worst of the insurgency), just might figure out that steaming 43 warships from India to Indonesia to Japan to Korea, through the China Sea, in ten days, is impossible.

    Please try to do better, Glenn. Both of you.

    This is the best Mediaite post ever.

    Some high level debate going on here, and you stop in. So when you say “more stupidity from the stupid” you obviously refer to yourself.

    A 6 seat gain in the Senate is HUGE. Sorry rocks, but there are 33 Senate seats up in 2012. Two of those are Independents Bernie Sanders and Joe Lieberman. Of the other 31, 21 are Dem seats and only 10 are GOP seats. The 10 GOP seats are in “safe” states, where the seat holders all won by large margins in 2006. Conversely, there are a number of Dems (liberal ding dong Sherrod Brown in Ohio comes to mind) who will be in trouble.

    The GOP will, without a doubt, take over the Senate in 2012.

    I didn’t justify anything, you fool. In 1998, Kansas passed a law protecting viable unborn children from abortions during the latter stages of pregnancy. The only legal exceptions are for pregnancies that endanger the mother’s life and those that two physicians agree would damage the mother substantially and irreversibly.

    Any abortion done as an exception to the law was to have been recorded with a maternal medical reason to the Kansas health department. However, through 2009 the health department had processed 2,945 viable abortions without any medical justification. At an average cost of $5000 each – these fraudulently documented abortions yielded $15 million for the practice(s) that performed them. I say practices, but in reality we are talking about almost all being done at one place – Tiller’s.

    During legislative hearings over a proposed bill that would mandate that Kansas Department of Health obey the state’s late-term abortion law, KDHE testified they take no responsibility for the illegitimate reasons for the abortions already performed with no proper documentation and “would basically ignore any potential Attorney General opinion ordering them to correct the practice.”

    Four Kansas abortionists all worked for the late George Tiller – and they were the sole source of those illegitimate KDHE abortion reports. Yet the state Healing Arts Board did not penalized them for involvement with fraud. Get it? This was a bill introduced to enforce already existing law, and prevent these abortionists from performing undocumented late term abortions that were against the law – as they were doing.

    Don’t post shit when you don’t know what you are talking about.

    Finch, a bit of background. ‘Ted’ originated the Kumquat name, and surprise, the King also uses it. No coincidence there, huh? On the Michelle topic, the King really amped up his hatred for her because she saw through him. (Not that difficult) When she started posting, she tried talking to the King civilly. He pretended to go along, but at the end of each reply, he’d let her know just how stupid she was. This got old quickly and Michelle started really going after the King. And since his ego can stand no disagreement, he developed more hatred for her, and doing his usual. Mocking her religion, accusing her of being a bad mother, saying she lives in a trailer, etc., etc. No insult was out of bounds. She got more angry towards anyone on the left and started criticizing the Mediaite reporters for being biased, and ended up getting banned.

    I have my pride. :)

    AAAAA! A ghost! And TtT, it’s not up to me to get Michelle back on here. Don’t know where you came up with that idea. And even though the King was mocking her family and BFD was laughing about her husband dying, she shouldn’t have taken it out on Colby. Don’t know what was going on with that and don’t really care. But I stand by my statement that anyone who would mock a woman for saying her husband died isn’t much of a human being. If your political ideology is that important to you, that it trumps being human, it’s pathetic.

    Sorry. Didn’t mean to tag team you, AF. It does show, however, it is very easy to document the Beckerhead’s lies, extremism and irrationality.

    There’s a special place set for Beck in hell and ANYONE (suckers) who supports his twisted agenda. He’s a mad rat that figured out a way to make a huge profit out of feeding fear, lies and propaganda to the gutless and gullible. He’s anti-American, a traitor!!

    MIchelle’s problem was that she let The Real Royal King and his alter names get to her.

    At Olbermannwatch.com, The Real Royal King posted under over thirty names and finally outed and banned by the blog owner Robert Cox. Cox calculated that TRRK wrote over 20 posts there a day under various alters.

    If anyone wants particulars, go to that site and write to Robert Cox. Mention “Clucker”.

    Or you can go to Johnny Dollar’s Place and write Johnny Dollar about Mark Schultz of Austin, Tx.

    In the end, I hope when any president goes abroad that our fine secret service keep our president safe.

    Beck, may have been discussing this as part of a broader discussion, but in the end the most disagreeable of people can agree on some fundamental issues.

    Just a thought…..

    Mr Davis, you wrote a very unbiased article thank you.

    This is the least researched article in the history of Mediaite. The man spends all day performing as the typical bomb-hurling conservative shock jock on his radio show, with all of the usual untruths and half-truths, then feigns concern on his television show later. How can you not consider that?

    Davis wrote, “Beck didn’t elaborate much on the cost speculation (except to say we don’t really know what the figures are),…”

    He changed his tune from morning to his afternoon show. (Breitbart give him a heads up again?) This is from yesterday’s newsletter from Beck: “Financial crisis? What crisis? Obama spending $2 billion to visit Mumbai

    If Mumbai sounds familiar to you it’s because less than 2 years ago, radical Islamic terrorists carried out massive attacks that killed 173 people and wounded 308. It’s so dangerous there that the President is traveling with 3,000 people, bringing 34 warships, and spending $200 million a day to make the trip.”

    On his website where the transcript from the morning zoo show exists is this: “UPDATE: These numberss , originally reported by an Indian news agency, are now being disputed by multiple media outlets.”

    This update is an exceptionally rare correction of the facts. I wonder if he told his gullible audience about the update?

    Yaho, you really are deluded. Think of yourself as lost in the unreal world that Beck has created over the last 21months.

    You think Beck is “nice?” Read what a fellow Mormon has to write about this mean spirited prick:

    http://www.sharethisurlaboutglennbeck.com/2010/08/mormon-perspective-on-glenn-beck-rough.html

    It reads in part, “He isn’t the only right-wing media personality to influence such uninformed and misguided opinions, but his is certainly one of the most persistent, mean-spirited, and strident voices.”

    Glenn Beck is not a nice man, not ,at least, when he’s on the air; but no one as in love with Beck as you clearly are is going to be able to grasp this. Facts are beyond Beck and his flock.

    He lives in an alternative universe, the right-wing mediasphere.

    Here’s a classic Beck lie: “GLENN: There’s something else wrong. This New Delhi trip really, really bothers me. Not in the way that it’s just costing $2 billion for ten days so he can see the Festival of Lights. ”

    OK, Beck updated the info on his website that a few hundred folks may notice; but did he tell his audience today that he got it wrong yesterday? I’ve been watching him for 7 months, and I’ve never seen him correct his factual errors…and he’s made hundreds of them.

  • http://sharethisurlaboutglennbeck.com/ GlennBeckReview

    GLENN: “There’s something else wrong. This New Delhi trip really, really bothers me. Not in the way that it’s just costing $2 billion for ten days so he can see the Festival of Lights. ”

    So Obama “can see the Festival of Lights.” Really. This is how Beck rolls. False intimation, false claims, completely bogus ideas, complete nonsense and some claims that are “completely insane.”

    Why do people believe his utter bulls#$t? Because — no matter what the facts are — people will believe Beck’s lies because 1) they don’t know the facts and 2) they WANT to believe the worse about the President.

    Glenn Beck: living proof that you can fool some of the people all of the time.

  • http://sharethisurlaboutglennbeck.com/ GlennBeckReview

    “Glenn Beck (while also wondering some about the cost) ”

    He was still pushing the stupid notion that it would cost “up to $2 billion.” Nothing has changed: if there’s a lie to be told about the President, be certain that Glenn Beck will tell that lie.

    …while “writer,” notsofast and other reactionary fans of his claim that Beck tells the truth.

    Amazing!

  • writer

    GBR, I don’t watch Beck often enough to know how often he lies and how often he tells the truth. But unlike you, I do know he’s doing an opinion show, not a news broadcast.

  • Bad Wolf

    Nothing but reverse psychology at work.
    Many times Glenn has called for peace and tolerance, oh yea…….

    And expressed concern for O’s safety, which is no more than a covert signal that this is a good chance to bump Obama off.

    But GB is the fearful one who wears bulletproof vests to public events………………..
    Jon Stewart has no such fears.
    It’s all in Glenn’s head.

  • http://sharethisurlaboutglennbeck.com/ GlennBeckReview

    Establishing that he doesn’t know what he’s writing about, “writer” first says:
    “GBR, I don’t watch Beck often enough to know how often he lies and how often he tells the truth. ”

    Then writer demonstrates that he has no clue what Beck is actually doing day in and day out, “writer” adds,
    “But unlike you, I do know he’s doing an opinion show….”

    I knew when I heard a monologue last night that the speaker was helping me wrap my head around something I’ve been trying to understand for months. The light has come on. The false world-view that is held by “writer,” notsofast, Sarainlalaland, NORBUTT, and all of the others who post comments from the perspective shaped by the self-contained, right-wing echo machine, literally creates an alternative reality for them. The following is a climatic ah-ha moment transcribed into words, a culmination of seven months of intense study. First consider:

    http://www.sharethisurlaboutglennbeck.com/2010/11/facts-about-glenn-becks-lies-and.html

    Then, if you’re in or out of the media, share that URL. There is an information struggle under way, and only one side is fully engaged. One thing Glenn Beck is right about, but not in the way he means when he says it: people need to wake up!

    You really do need to get out of your parent’s basement, put on some clothes, and get off the Cheetos. Some sunlight would really do you good. You can probably get some free psychiatric help for your obsession with Glenn Beck, too. Who knows, maybe if you showered and shaved, you could get a job somewhere. I hear Burger King is hiring! You might be qualified to cook fries, mop floors, and take out the trash…”might” that is.

    Since you don’t know a damn thing about me (obviously) how to you so proudly and arrogantly engage in completely ignorant orders? You really are a yahoo, fuk. So let’s see, where have you learned such arrogant ignorance?

    Could it have been from Glenn Beck, the arrogant, ignorant genius?

    Probably; you’re learning but lacking the genius side. Keep trying. I’m sure Mr. Beck is proud of yahoo fuks like you spouting utter nonsense about his detractors…dude.

    Oh, did I strike a nerve? I can tell by your abnormal reaction to my comments. Of course, with your Glenn Beck obsession, I would imagine a lot of what you do would be considered abnormal. So, tell me, what kind of meds do they have you on? Haldol? Prozac? Wellbutrin? Zoloft? Or is it all the above?

    The bottom line is you are a NOBODY! You’ve always been a NOBODY. And you’ll never be anything else until you are able to overcome your obsessive/compulsive disorder.

    Oh, and I do appreciate the endearing terms you have for me. It shows the limitiations of your imagination and your patent immaturity.

    Dude.

  • http://sharethisurlaboutglennbeck.com/ GlennBeckReview

    Yaho Fuk, you keep posting the same dumb comment over and over again. I keep making mince meat out of your sorry excuse for a mind to no avail. You don’t stop making an ass of yourself, and I guess you’re comfortable making an ass out of yourself.

    Look, I know you’re in love with Glenn Beck and feel the need to defend his honor, so do so in an honorable manner. You’re just acting like the kind of person you’re accusing me of being, someone using their parent’s computer in their basement, an adolescent at best.

    Seriously, act your age. When you start doing that, I will address you with your chosen comment name. Until you do that, you’re just a yahoo fuk, or more accurately a f$%king yahoo.

    I suspect that you’re Gordon Blowhard since you showed up attacking me after Blowhard was (I’m guessing) banned from leaving comments. True or not; you’re both about equally off the wall.
