Keith Olbermann Claims Glenn Beck Lied About National Archives Story

video
» 198 comments

Yes, MSNBC is still talking about the Restoring Honor rally. Well, Keith Olbermann is at least. Tonight on Countdown, Olbermann pointed to a moment in Glenn Beck’s speech where he claimed to have gone to the National Archives and held a copy of George Washington’s first inaugural address in his hands. Anyone whose been to the National Archives might have though that unlikely, but only Olbermann would take the time to call the Archives up.

Olbermann got a quote from a spokeswoman from the Archives that said that, while Beck got a VIP tour of the facilities and saw the address, he never touched it. If that’s true, then it was a pretty stupid exaggeration for Beck to make. Still though, Olbermann came off really petty in the piece. Calling out a rival for a lie is one thing, devoting an entire segment to something so (relatively) insignificant half a week after the fact is another.

    Yes, catching someone in a lie while they claim to be “Restoring Honor” to — what was he restoring honor to? America, I guess — is a completely inconsequential bit of fluff. How silly to expect honor restoration to be 100% lie-free.

    I think your bias is showing.

    “Still though, Olbermann came off really petty in the piece.”

    Yes, he did. Nothing new there.

  • TfT

    Gosh Jon, Olbermann talking Beck…why is this news?

    The real question you should be asking, and actually writing about, is why didn’t Olbermann make Al Gore WPITW tonight, given the situation in MD.

    But hey, perhaps you will write about that tomorrow.

  • Big Eddie

    Tell it to your kitty , Olby .

    Wow, Beck said something for effect, kinda like when the current (2 years 4 months 19 days to go) President said after his nomination “I am certain that generations from now, this will be remembered as the day when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal.” That was just for effect too, and it had one – Chris Matthews pissed his pants. I’m sure that made Olbermann very happy.

  • CosmosDan

    It is petty.

    And KO, mentioning Beck will NOT increase your ratings. It’s YOU KO, it’s YOU!

    Gee whiz Keith, can you report on the news some time instead of rant against your more successful competitors at Fox?

  • Greg

    Whenever I listen to Beck I get the feeling that he is comfortable in that space between the real and the imaginary… Hardly surprising…

    Reality holds little value to him. He may find it boring.

  • RunSarahRun

    Olberman may only draw a million or so viewers (to the 2 million for Beck), but at least 90% of his audience doesn’t start their sentences with “In my day we…………………..”

  • Big_F-ing_Deal

    I’m glad Beck’s remark was corrected. I didn’t feel comfortable having Beck’s flabby fingers on one of our founding documents after he raped and murdered that young girl back in 1990.

  • Cecelia

    We don’t know if Beck lied or not. We are talking about an organization that allowed Sandy Berger to walk out with documents in his pants.

    There should be camera footage to prove Beck a liar and/or he may come out with a statement saying that he exaggerated.

    Until then, Olbermann doesn’t know.

  • NORBIT

    Why isn’t the out-of-work sportscaster talking about this?
    —————————————————————————-

    The President looked like he was in a dentist’s seat last night, the way his body language showed he doesn’t believe in either one of these wars!

    Whatever got us into the war, Bush handed this guy a stable, and dramaticlly more secure country.
    All Obama had to do is NOT set a withdrawl date, and get the political leadership there under control, which was already underway (successful elections, etc.).

    But Obama is an ideologue, so he puts in the like-minded, and total incompetent lefty, Richard Holbrook to oversee the situation.

    WELL HOW’S THAT SITUATION NOW?

    Get those boys out & I hate to say it, but take Biden’s route!!

    No, it’s clearly worse. Olbermann did not graduate from the Ivy League Cornell. The real Cornell, the School of Arts and Sciences (average SAT: 1,325; acceptance rate: 1 in 6 applicants), is the only Ivy League school at Cornell and the only one that grants a Bachelor of Arts degree. Olbermann went to an affiliated state college at Cornell, the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (average SAT: about that of pulling guards at the University of Toledo; acceptance rate: 1 of every 1 applicants). Olbermann’s incessant lying about having an Ivy League education when he went to the non-Ivy League school at Cornell would be like a graduate of the Yale locksmithing school boasting about being a Yale man. Among the graduates of the Ivy League Cornell are Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Thomas Pynchon, Paul Wolfowitz, E.B. White, Sanford I. Weill, Floyd Abrams, Kurt Vonnegut, Douglas Ginsburg, Henry Heimlich and Harold Bloom. Graduates of the Ag (Olbermann) school include David LeNeveu of the Anaheim Ducks, Mitch Carefoot of the Phoenix RoadRunners, and Darren Eliot, former professional hockey player.

    Yes it is alot like that.

So yes they are both very similar.

    You are correct Cecelia, we don’t know, and even if it’s true Olberman is being petty to make a major issue out of it. It could easily be called poetic license.

    Not true… It is the second largest school within Cornell and is no way excluded from “ivy league” status… Coulter led an elitist attack on Olberman that many appear to have swallowed hook line and reel… Beck passionately declared that people were desperate for the truth as he rallied almost 100,000 people with rhetoric replete with a historical revision that is an obvious impossibility… If you wish to qualify it after the fact and absolve him then that is your right… But to use a false attack on Olberman as evidence that he is more dishonest than one that at the least streched the truth is absurd.

    Gordon,

    Again, people will know you by your disrespectful manner. I watched one of your videos last night and you spoke to the question of friendship, how people could maintain relationships with liars as a frame for discussing politicians… Equally I wonder who would have the poor sense to associate with one who attacks others as readily as you… It is shameful…

    I have made a specific argument here regarding Cornell… Complete with an assertion reasoning and evidence…your response is far from proper rebuttal… It consists simply of reasserting your position with Insult as garnish…

    Lastly, you call me stupid… Your intro video on your website has you referring to your right… Odd that you provide visual directions from your perspective since you are directing a viewer who sees things from an opposite perspective… I guess you can only relate to things in a narrow manner… Finally, I have no idea why you would include your phone number on your website… My 13 year old niece is net savvy enough to avoid such exposure…

    Paleeze. Yes the people that go to the ALS school can still compete in the Ivy League sports programs, but there is a HUGE difference between the prestige of a true Ivy League degree and an ALS degree. Take a look at the link you yourself provided…pay particular attention to these lines especially where I have provided you quotation marks:

    Each of the fourteen colleges and schools listed below defines its “own academic programs”; “admits its own students”; provides a faculty, and advising and support for its students; and confers degrees on its own students, although all degrees are attributed to Cornell University.

    Now pay special attention to that degree your boy KO has, although it is attributed to Cornell University it also has a designator behind it. Your hero could not even get into the main Cornell campus and if you don’t realize that…well I just can’t help you any further.

    Beck is a compulsive liar. He lied about the ladies of The View and was embarrassed on national TV because of it. He is still lying about his sobriety as he was obviously drunk on the air the day after (of?) the View appearance but he blamed it on Nyquil He said he had no idea Nyquil could knock you for a loop like that. Puhleeze

    1 – Every alcoholic knows Nyquil can knock you for a loop like that.
    2 – The first thing they teach you in recovery is YOU are responsible for your sobriety and are solely responsible for EVERYTHING that goes into your body, even if a doctor prescribed it. No excuses or do-overs are allowed in recovery. Period. Glenn Beck barely has 2 years sobriety, if that, yet he still lies about 10 years or more.

    The man wouldn’t know the truth if it bit him in his fat pasty ass.

    Ted Kennedy ‘forgot’ that a woman was under water for eight hours before he reported it. The left seemed to be forgiving for that.

  • ConcernedCitizen3

    we’re talking about 2 schools within the same University, not same System. You are calling him a liar for stating that he went to Cornell University, but he attended a “college” within Cornell University, therefore attending the University. Within your logic, I say I went to the Mall, and you say “No! you went to Things Remembered damnit! The University gets to keep a small Liberal Arts College, while still catering to many different departments and majors.

    P.S… you said the School of Arts and Sciences (The Real Cornell) accepted about 1 in 6 applicants. Around 16%? Whereas, as a whole, Cornell accepts 20% of applicants. In comparison 1 in 5, to the School of Arts and Sciences 1 in 6. I mean I don’t know the individual acceptance rates for each college, but I highly doubt that for the ALS the acceptance rate would be anywhere near 40 or 50%…. probably closer to 20 or 25 maybe? But it’s just a highly selective clown college right?

    Offtopic to the post, but toward some of the previous comments…

    I don’t care enough about the manner in which Cornell operates or any distinctions between its degrees to do any research, but the thing that has always bothered me about the “Olbermann went to Ag School” meme is that there are hundreds of thousands of students in Agricultural Colleges throughout the country and literally millions of alumni. I’ve never understood how so many could use this to belittle Keith without taking into consideration how it could reflect on others.

    Is every degree from a Ag School or Land Grant College, now worth less?

    Lying about your recovery date hurts every alcoholic and addict who has ever had to bite on bullets one day at a time just to legitimately get to 30 days sobriety. Beck teaches the message that it is ok to “cheat a little” and still think you remained sober. That kind of thinking kills people. If he honestly cared about helping people he would have reset his sobriety date to the day he drank alcohol in Nyquil and taught people the message that we all make mistakes but that doesn’t mean we have to go back to our old habits.

    If Glenn was in AA, a recovery home or a sobriety house they would allow him to take tokens or anniversaries for anything older than the Nyquil incident. He would have actually been kicked out of a sobriety hous eif he came up positive for Nyquil. I have had to do it many times.
    Alcoholics must read all labels, talk to waiters and chefs about menu’s and consult with doctors BEFORE any treatment is given or they risk losing their sobriety because of their own carelessness.

    Glenn only helps himself.

    Short Answer: No. I don’t believe a degree from an Ag School or Land Grant College is worthless, they’re an important thread in the fabric of our society, but it’s obviously being used as a tool to discredit Keith Olbermann, and apparently anyone that has ever attended Cornell’s College of Ag. and Life Sciences.

    Ninja, Andy, you go ahead and make the trip to Ithaca and tell the kids in CALS they’re not really going to Cornell, I’m sure they’ll completely agree with you

    Offtopic to the post, but toward some of the previous comments… I don’t care enough about the manner in which Cornell operates or any distinctions between its degrees to do any research, but the thing that has always bothered me about the “Olbermann went to Ag School” meme is that there are hundreds of thousands of students in Agricultural Colleges throughout the country and literally millions of alumni. I’ve never understood how so many could use this to belittle Keith without taking into consideration how it could reflect on others. Is every degree from a Ag School or Land Grant College, now worth less?

    Absolutely not at all, most Ag schools are excellent. Any and every degree has value, it is when you lie / intentionally distort your education record that I have a problem with. Again, if I went to UCLA and claimed a UC-Berkeley degree, I would be thrown right the hell out of an interview.

    His degree does not say Cornell University on it. It will read “Cornell College of Agriculture and Life Sciences”. Again, not a bad degree, but it is still a distortion of the truth. I can tell you this, at my school the shoot-off degrees were called Stanford University School of Medicine or Stanford University School of Physics. Not that I was smart enough to get into either of those programs, but nonetheless the name remained SU with a “school of” suffix, not a Stanford College of Medicine. Big difference in name and bigger difference in starting pay.

    @ConcernedCitizen3: NC State is a land grant college and the flagship technical campus of the UNC System.

    Most of the recognition for the school (other than from the sports programs) are for the College of Agriculture & Life Sciences and the College of Engineering among others, while I was enrolled in the College of Humanities & Social Science for a brief time, early in my (storied) educational career.

    If you flip the Keith meme, then I didn’t attend NCSU because it’s a technical school and if I had stayed there for my degree, then my diploma would be worth less than someone who studied poultry science.

    @writer: I admittedly don’t watch Olbermann and am not a fan of the show, but from the outside, the ones whom I keep seeing discuss Keith’s education are bloggers and internet commenters opposed his political position. And, it’s almost exclusively used as part of the “Olbermann went to Ag School” meme.

    No, it’s clearly worse. Olbermann did not graduate from the Ivy League Cornell. The real Cornell, the School of Arts and Sciences (average SAT: 1,325; acceptance rate: 1 in 6 applicants), is the only Ivy League school at Cornell and the only one that grants a Bachelor of Arts degree. Olbermann went to an affiliated state college at Cornell, the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (average SAT: about that of pulling guards at the University of Toledo; acceptance rate: 1 of every 1 applicants). Olbermann’s incessant lying about having an Ivy League education when he went to the non-Ivy League school at Cornell would be like a graduate of the Yale locksmithing school boasting about being a Yale man. Among the graduates of the Ivy League Cornell are Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Thomas Pynchon, Paul Wolfowitz, E.B. White, Sanford I. Weill, Floyd Abrams, Kurt Vonnegut, Douglas Ginsburg, Henry Heimlich and Harold Bloom. Graduates of the Ag (Olbermann) school include David LeNeveu of the Anaheim Ducks, Mitch Carefoot of the Phoenix RoadRunners, and Darren Eliot, former professional hockey player.

    Nobody is diminishing the import of an ALS degree, nor are they saying Olbermann is stupid for having that diploma. The difference is that KO trots around claiming he has an Ivy League degree, which he distinctly does not, and he knows such is untrue. His degree is from Cornell, but it is not from the Ivy League University — which has been his claim.

    Well stated, Greg. After seeing Gordo’s silly sophomoric attacks on everyone, it is obvious that he is a teenager in an aging adult’s body. He probably has been a failure in life, but is trying to boost himself up with trite little things like letters to the editor. And then he brags about so-called honors that may or may not be true. But nevertheless, they are in the past. Yet he uses them as “proof” of anything he says. Of course, all of his posts use the term, “liar,” just as some of the other juveniles on this site do.

    I knew that sarcasm would draw some stupid remark, and you did not disappoint Constantly.

    I do independent research as well as tapping into what Olbermann, Media Matters and News Hounds finds about Beck. When Beck claimed that Jefferson referred to “honest questioning,” I was shocked that Jefferson would make such a stupid statement in writing.

    Of course, he didn’t. Beck made that up. That is one of the three lies that Beck told in his speech about “honor.”

    Lonestar, tell us how YOU rationalize Beck telling lies in a speech where he said, “Our sacred honor. It means that you tell the truth. The whole truth and nothing but the truth.”

    Initially I started The Glenn Beck BULLitin, but I thought Beck could sue for using that name. I switched to The Glenn Beck Review, and more efforts of the last 5 months have culminated in my review of his bogus “restoring honor” speech.

    Feel free to stop your idiotic, ad hominem attacks and try applying some skepticism to EVERYTHING that Beck says. For the length of time of Beck’s speech Saturday, only telling three lies may be a new record low for him.

    I can allow for mistakes like that without the label of liar. It does place an additional burden of accuracy on Beck when he repeatedly implores his audience to be truthful, and look for the truth.

    First example goes back to his book where he changed Jefferson’s quote, and he’s been misquoting Jefferson ever since on that quote. It is NOT a mistake; it’s Beck changing Jefferson’s words (to ones he can understand). I caught this because when he said those were Jefferson’s words, I was shocked that Jefferson would write something so stupid. He didn’t; Beck did in his book, The Real Americans; and he repeated in during his disgraceful mocking of honor last Saturday.

    Second example may have been an honest mistake. What lends ANYONE credibility is admitting the errors and correcting them. Beck NEVER does this.

    Third example was a bald-faced lie. Beck knew he didn’t hold that address in his hands. He lied. In a speech about honor, integrity and the truth, Beck knowingly and willfully lied. That was no “mistake.” That was Beck being Beck. Beck’s speech, SOS; DD.

    For any pol to be this deceitful, hypocritical and flat out stupid (by lying in a speech about honor and truth), would be disastrous at election time. For Beck, it’s just another day on the job. Beck knows that he’s not questioned by his flock.

    Any network that would host the likes of a Glenn Beck is not worthy of being called a “News” network, but there are many reasons to note that Fox is more about wing-nut propaganda than credible information. Fox “News” has been scaring the white folks since 1996.

    Jon Bershad,

    No offense, but there are some factual errors in your article.

    You wrote, “Olbermann got a quote from a spokeswoman from the Archives that said that, while Beck got a VIP tour of the facilities and saw the address,”

    He didn’t “get” the quote from a spokeswoman from the Archives.

    The “Countdown” researchers found this information from a piece at motherjones.com which was published earlier that day at 6:00 am ET.
    http://tinyurl.com/22udbws

    You editorialized that, “Calling out a rival for a lie is one thing, devoting an entire segment to something so (relatively) insignificant half a week after the fact is another.”

    1) The entire segment you refer to was ONLY 97 seconds out of a one hour program.
    2) You called it relatively insignificant. I disagree. It supports a running narrative that Mr. Beck plays fast & loose with the facts and might be turning into a 2010 version of aother notorious fabricator – Al Gore.

    This story was hardly insignificant. If you Google “Glenn Beck’s George Washington Whopper” there are over 10 pages of hits including major websites like HuffPo, online newspapers and popular blogs.

  • CAconservative

    Instead of objective investigative journalism, we get Olbermann? A man who has built his whole career around demagoguing people who actually do the investigative work and try to bring it to us the conservative viewpoint in a manner we can all understand.

    GBR, since I knew you always know what you are talking about, I did go to YOUR source. Guess what I found? Did you even read it before you posted it? Here is the quote from YOUR source………………
    ……………………Construction would be halted for 20 years. The onset of the Civil War also contributed to the delay. The abandoned memorial was a fitting tribute to a nation divided. The unfinished monument was even seen as an embarrassment during this time.

    Caught you in another lie.

    Since I wasn’t there and neither were you I can’t tell you if he held the document but I do know the source that is cited that says he did not hold it, was not there either.

    As to the Jefferson quote, it just appears you are just distorting what he said or you can’t read. I have proof you can’t read because you did not even read the source you gave me for the Washington Monument.

    I suggest all readers here look at your post and go to the source you cited and they can see for themselves that you are the liar and not Beck.

  • http://www.nukethefridge.com MartiniShark

    When I heard about Beck holding the actual address I imagined him cradling a document sheethed in a lucite protective container. As it turns out he was presented the document, in such a case, but did not hold the actual case; the handlers maneuvered it for him as requested. I think this factual inaccuracy completely compromises the entire 8/28 event. ! Please, this is the big takeaway on the “LIE”?

    And all this talk about Beck lying with his Jefferson quote is a bit confusing, because the implication is that Glenn made up the quote out of whole cloth. In fact, if anything has taken place is “paraphrasing”, but I do not think what he did is even that far afield.

    > Beck’s alluded quote from his book:
    “‘And above all things,’ he wrote, ‘when it comes to religion, fix reason firmly in her seat and question everything. Take no man’s singular opinion. Question the very existence of God, for if there be a God, He must surely rather honest questioning over blindfolded fear.’”

    > Jefferson’s actual quote in his letter to Peter Carr:
    “Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call to her tribunal every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blindfolded fear.”

    It is not as if Beck has completely altered the message, as the meaning behind his quote and Jefferson’s actual quote is right in line. I doubt seriously anyone can label this as an outright lie, unless they want to push the narrative that Beck prevaricates on a regular basis.

    If Beck said he held the document in his hand whild ducking sniper fire, that would have been a lie.

    The link above is Glenn’s explanation of the ” lie” he told about the document he didn’t actually hold. It’s personally good enough for me but maybe not all. You all have the choice. I’m glad he addressed it in either case.

    I see GBR constantly attacking Glenn. I know at times he has been known to misquoted some founding father in what is usually a superficial way. I don’t think is was fair to call Charles Darwin the father of modern day racism or something like that. But there is an indirect link as to why someone could say that. And he probably
    shouldn’t have said “I think Obama is a racist.” — By the way this maybe a misquote… i.e. not exact words. So am I a liar? I’ll let others make that call.

    But GBR misses several points. To call anyone a hypocrite first the person being call has to claim they stand for something. Ok, Glenn always talks about “it’s all about the truth.” So when he occasionally makes a mistakes or actually tells a superficial “lie” his a labeled a hypocrite.

    When a politician calls for “Family values” and he’s caught cheating on his wife he’s a hypocrite.

    So when Clinton cheats and lies one thing he wasn’t called was a hypocrite because he didn’t stand for anything!

    I believe Glenn tries very hard to get his facts straight and to explain his opinions to vast majority of the time.
    Does he make mistake along the way? Yes!. And he usually addresses most of them at some point. At least I believe he tries to. When is gives a lecture on his show he routinely tells his audience to check his “facts”. When he suggest reading material he tells his audience to read things that have a different opinion to come up with your own truth. Ever heard any commentator do that before Glenn. I think not. We wants all of us to get
    our head out of the sand.

    To say FOX News should not be considered a news organization because they employ Glenn as a commentator is very very hypocritical given the misrepresentation and out and out lies and races baiting I have witnessed over the years on all the news networks. FOX if they are guilty of lying and or misrepresentation and race baiting I haven’t see it in. And if it does occur it’s not nearly to the same vast quantities as the other networks because compared to MSNBC, CBS, ABC and CNN, FOX is Mother Theresa in comparison. The so called lies of FOX News commentary is opinion. For example , If FOX News and Glenn says Obama is a socialist I believe them. Obama says he’s not, I don’t believe him. FOX news and Glenn show more examples to support their claim. Conservatives would have almost no voice on TV news if not for FOX. If a foreigner came to this country and tuned in to MSNBC they would probably mistake it as the “state run media” as us conservatives like to call it.

    So to keep attacking Glenn almost exclusively for the same things all the other networks have been doing for years is disingenuous at best. But I also call it hypocritical. To us Glenn fans, we perceive him as a breathe
    of fresh air because I believe he gives an honest attempt at honesty far greater than anyone in the media in a very long time. And he is willingly to admit he is not always right and he will make mistakes because he is only a man.

    Sorry for any typos..I have dyslectic fingers.
