What Present Did George Soros Personally Send Glenn Beck?

video
» 243 comments

Glenn Beck has been spending a lot of time talking up his exposé on George Soros which began today and it did not disappoint. Nothing that begins with the dramatic lines “83 years ago, George Soros was born. Little did the world know, then, that economy’s would collapse, currencies would become worthless, elections would be stolen, regimes would fall, and one billionaire would find himself, coincidentally, at the center of it all” ever could. But, at the end of today’s long Soros biography, Beck revealed an interesting anecdote: Soros once sent him a present, a copy of A Face in the Crowd on DVD.

For those that don’t know, A Face in the Crowd is a 1957 film directed by Elia Kazan, whom Beck calls “a communist” (which is a bit of healthy oversimplification). It stars Andy Griffith as Lonesome Rhodes, a fraud of a man whose down-home persona brings him great fame on radio and then television but is later caught insulting his own audience. Soros isn’t the first person to make the comparison to Beck, as it’s a favorite of Keith Olbermann. However, on today’s show, Beck responded to the comparison, promising that he is “not Lonesome Rhodes.”

Check out the video of the story below, which begins with a meeting between one of Fox News’ execs and one of Soros’ higher-ups, and continues with video of some of Beck’s Soros takedown (from FNC):

    The Puppetmaster left the movie as a threat to Beck during a meeting where Soros’ rep complained about Beck’s exposing Soros’ past and current machinations involving the U.S . They have tried very hard to silence Beck and they can’t do it . This involves Democrats right up to and including Obama . The ” Spooky Dude” will keep trying . …If you’re a regular liberal , do you really want to defend this guy ?

    It is so great to see Glenn Beck bring William Cooper to the masses, I suppose you could go back farther to really get to the roots of the conspiracy theory movement, but Cooper codifies the sort of one world government/militia type conspiracy theory that Beck is peddling on the unsuspecting masses.

    I for one love Glenn Beck I listen to his radio show nearly every day, I prefer the radio show over the tv show because the radio show has a very important component that the Fox show doesn’t, the audience participation. The best part of the show is the through the looking glass, mindfuck that is the average Glenn Beck listener, a window into the sick soul of an America bending under it’s own weight. Today for example several callers called into the show celebrating their success after taking up some challenge to see if you could give something up that you loved or were obsessed with for 40 days. One man in particular called to say that he had given up pornography and through the help of his lord and savior Jesus Christ he was able to overcome the demon of internet porno. He also mentioned that he had heeded yet another calling to be a Reverend. I guess the addiction to internet porn sort of went with the whole being a reverend thing.

    Really Glenn Beck is one of the best things in entertainment, much better than Jersey Shore and I really do wish George Soros would go on Glenn’s show that would be so epic! Oh and BTW if you have never seen the movie Glenn is talking about you should cause it is totally about Glenn and from the way he reacted to Soros giving him that DVD he knows it’s about him.

  • Pat Quinn

    not about him but oh man you know what i mean for reaz http://www.katstacks.com

  • Michéle – Ft Leavenworth KS

    If Soros is so concerned about Beck, he should go on his show. From what I read from the left he would leave Beck in the wind. So why not, what is keeping Soros from accepting Beck’s invite.

    He has nothing to lose and if what Beck is saying is false than wouldn’t Soros come out on top?

    On the other hand Soros perhaps feels he has nothing to lose, why lower himself. Valid arguement, but if he has felt Beck isn’t good for this country than the ball is in Soros court.

    No one gives two shits (or even one, for that matter) about why someone gave up porn. Who cares, and how does this help make your point…..whatever your point is.

    A Face in the Crowd was filmed in 1957, 7 years before Beck was born. So, it totally can’t be about Beck. Soros had the DVD given to Beck because Beck is w-a-a-a-t under his skin, and damn good for that.

    I don’t have a quote offhand, but I can tell you it was far, far more gracious than Rachel Maddow “apologizing” for “accidentally” falsely accusing a Republican Congressman of having “prior notice” of the Oklahoma City bombing. Maddow, you will recall, used her “retraction” as an opportunity to attack those who had called her out on it.

    And here’s the other difference between those two events. With Beck’s mistake, we know how the mistake was made. He was relying on a third-party report from an Indian blog. A faulty source, true, but mistakes like that happen sometimes (Dan Rather National Guard documents anyone?). Beck wasn’t the only one to make that mistake, as the White House press corp was asking Gibbs about it the next day.

    Maddow, on the other hand, never explained how she had sourced her outrageous claim in the first place. Where did she get her mistaken info from? Don’t you think she should explain that?

    Well, I wouldn’t swear to this. I was listening on, I think, Friday in the car. I was on my way to court so I wasn’t paying close attention. He played the Gibbs exchange with the reporter over the $200 million claim. He acknowledged that that number was wrong. Stu or Pat then tried to blame the White House, saying that they should release the real cost. Beck strongly argued against that, arguing that if you start releasing those numbers it’s a security threat because people can back out the numbers, and if the numbers are too big people would never want the President to go anywhere, and that would be bad.

    To be clear, he didn’t fall on his sword apologizing profusely, but he did acknowledge that he was wrong, talked about it coming from an Indian blog. I think he also criticized Drudge because Drudge was still saying $200 at that point. It was all perfectly reasonable.

    As you already realize (correctly) there is no concrete proof that an election was stolen. A lot of accusations from both sides, and some pretty good evidence that bad stuff goes on. I’m sure Beck is referring to Soros’ money and where it goes, to things like his Secretary of State Project (SOS Project) – a campaign group he bankrolls to back Democrat Secretaries of State, who typically serve as the state’s chief election official, putting them in prime position to tip close elections.

    Here’s another one, the Working Families Party, also funded by Soros –

    A lot of people reported this hogwash. And it didn’t start with wild rumors “out in the vast right wing blogosphere” as was reported by Rachel Maddow (I know, you don’t like her either) it started in the Indian press, as it was first reported by the Press Trust of India, then the Times of India, then the UK media. When everyone took a close look at it, and rolled some numbers, it became pretty obvious that it was a bunch of crap. By that point, everyone knew that everyone that had reproted it had shoveled some shit. But, again, the guy reported something that foreign newspapers had put in print.

    Exactly.

    And puh-leeze… your link doesn’t prove elections were stolen and it in no way connect Soros with stealing elections.

    Also, Becks graphic, when he accused Soros of stealing elections, was of the 2010 mid-terms. That was clear. Your link is older than that by far.

    Of course no one is going to be able to prove Soros stole elections (he’d be in jail), it is just another Glenn Beck lie thrown out there everyday that his fan slurp up w/o a shred of evidence.

    Exactly. And puh-leeze… your link doesn’t prove elections were stolen and it in no way connect Soros with stealing elections. Also, Becks graphic, when he accused Soros of stealing elections, was of the 2010 mid-terms. That was clear. Your link is older than that by far. Of course no one is going to be able to prove Soros stole elections (he’d be in jail), it is just another Glenn Beck lie thrown out there everyday that his fan slurp up w/o a shred of evidence.

    Did you read the text in the link? I said there is no proof an election was actually stolen. However, this case does prove an attempt was made –

    “The problem with these absentee ballot records at the Rensselaer County Board of Elections in Troy, N.Y., is that they’re phony, and they’ve prompted what’s being called an unprecedented investigation of suspected voter fraud.

    Thirty-eight forged or fraudulent ballots have been thrown out — enough votes, an election official admits, to likely have tipped the elections in November to the Democrats. Candidates would have been able to run both on the Democratic and Working Families Party lines in two weeks, and that could have given the Democrats in the general election.

    A special prosecutor is investigating the case and criminal charges are possible. New York State Supreme Court Judge Michael Lynch ruled that there were “significant election law violations that have compromised the rights of numerous voters and the integrity of the election process.”

    The attempt was made by the Working Families Party, which is a Soros funded organization. I think this qualifies as evidence. Look, I’m not gonna argue with you. You’re the only liberal on this entire board that doesn’t think that MSNBC’s election night coverage deserved a People’s Choice Award for being so fantastic.

    If Jon Bershad is quoting correctly, Beck said “83 years ago, George Soros was born. Little did the world know, then, that economy’s (economies) would collapse, currencies would become worthless, elections would be stolen, regimes would fall, and one billionaire would find himself, coincidentally, at the center of it all” Sensationalism, to begin his show about Soros. I’ll call a flat out lie a flat out lie, when someone quotes statistics or a specific occurence that didn’t actually happen.

    I watch Fox, but almost never watch Beck (no news covered) or Hannity (way too partisan for me.) Shep and Baier are so much better and more professional than their counterparts in the same time slots it is beyond words, I catch them when I can.

    “Spoohy Dude” is indeed spooky. Last summer, Soros pledged $50 million to his Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET) after INET had a conference in New York. One of the attendees, Andre Wilkens, who represented the prestigious German foundation Siftung Mercator, wrote:

    The challenge ahead is to manage a peaceful decline of the west while rescuing as many of the west’s liberal political and economic values as possible…We need new global governance which can both manage the ascent of China, India, Russia, Brazil as well as the relative decline of the United States and Europe. Europe and the US must concentrate on shaping this new global governance and enshrine its progressive values within it, while they still have some power to do so.

    INET blames the economic crisis on free market capitalism and promotes a return to the theories of John Maynard Keynes.

    Soros’ ultimate goal is global governence.

What isn’t funny is complete idiots follow this guy and actually believe that George Soros is a big time secret communist (although Beck tries to say he helped the Nazis too, not sure how that one works, but it sounds good and his viewers dont know any better) and that he is devaluing the dollar on purpose.

    On it’s face it is completely absurd that one millionaire or even billionaire could effect the worlds currency like apparently Soros has done with the dollar, but don’t let that stop frothed up paranoids with way too much time on their hands. The only thing that is more pathetic is that when people refuse to believe their childish fantasies and ridicule these people like they should be ridiculed, then you too are probably part of the plot and a secret Communist/Alinsky follower.

    I have even been accused on this forum of being a paid troll. I realize that going through life as an untreated paranoid is hard, I realize that there is obviously something substantial missing from these people’s lives to have this sort of reaction to Glenn Beck. I understand that Beck is just a symptom of a very sick society that values conjecture over facts and ranting over cogent arguments. I understand all of this and frankly it is really a sad comment on where we are as a society, but I can’t help but be entertained by simple people that follow Beck, his world is a world where everything is easily explained, like all conspiracy theorists. There’s is a simple world where there is good and evil and an explanation for everything.

I realize that going through life as an untreated paranoid is hard, I realize that there is obviously something substantial missing from these people’s lives to have this sort of reaction to Glenn Beck. I understand that Beck is just a symptom of a very sick society that values conjecture over facts and ranting over cogent arguments. I understand all of this and frankly it is really a sad comment on where we are as a society, but I can’t help but be entertained by simple people that follow Beck, his world is a world where everything is easily explained, like all conspiracy theorists. There’s is a simple world where there is good and evil and an explanation for everything.

    First…..Beck didn’t come up with the Nazi collaborating thing….Soros did you dumb ass. He admitted on 60 Minutes YEARS ago. Sorry…..he didn’t just admit….he took PRIDE in it. Way to keep up!!!!

    As to wrecking a currency……another thing you ignorantly scoff at…..You might want to ask rfolks across the pond in England about why they aren’t fond of him numb nuts.

(Terms made up by these media moguls) Cannot think on their own. They depend on it being spoon feed to them from people like Beck or Olbermann. What we are seeing is a dumbing down of our youth. The powers at hand manipulating and dividing them. To keep them arguing with each other over as you say “good and evil” Each side thinking they are good, the other evil. I grew up in the sixties. I’m an old hippie. I used to claim to be a liberal, but liberalism has changed over the years. Growing up We were against the Government and big Corporations, Now it seems the Liberals are all for Big Government and the Conservatives are for Big Business. What people don’t understand is that both parties are being run by Statist who are Incorporating a Global Empire. Or as G W Bush put it, “New World Order.” When the people of this country finally figure this out. I’m afraid it will be too late. They still will blame the other side instead of realizing that it was themselves and their ignorance that led to this….

    Jon wrote, “A Face in the Crowd is a 1957 film directed by Elia Kazan, whom Beck calls “a communist” (which is a bit of healthy oversimplification).”

    Kazan, like Van Jones, WAS a Communist. In Kazan’s case, for a year and a half. For Beck, one can never be an ex-Communist. That is because Beck is a master at smearing people that he doesn’t like, and that includes Soros.

    I’m trying to get an interview with Soros to address Beck’s assault on his character, but so far no one has gotten back to me. I do know from researching Beck’s claims in the past that he doesn’t mind lying through his teeth, often before turning to his viewers (the camera) and telling the most gullible people in America that he tells the truth. One of Beck’s fans finally figured out how much Beck is full of feces, but she is far brighter than most.

    155 comments and according to a Ctrl-F, not a single one noting that Beck failed to properly credit Patricia Neal, one of the most respected actresses of the last century?

    And though admittedly, I quit reading the comments when they weent off the rails, but it may also be worth noting that a naked search on failing economies or collapsing currency doesn’t appear to have a Soros on the first page. (Though that might be due to Google tailoring the results to me and maybe Mr. Beck’s people get different results)

    Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with Glenn making the claim.
    Primarily, I just wanted Patricia to get her due. I’ve just always enjoyed her work.

    “It is sort of a disease when you consider yourself some kind of god, the creator of everything, but I feel comfortable about it now since I began to live it out,” (The Independent, June 3, 1993)

    “I admit that I have always harbored an exaggerated view of self-importance –to put it bluntly, I fancied myself as some kind of god or an economic reformer like Keynes or, even better, a scientist like Einstein,” (The Alchemy of Finance, George Soros)

    “If truth be known, I carried some rather potent messianic fantasies with me from childhood which I felt I had to control, otherwise I might end up in the loony bin. But when I made my way in the world I wanted to indulge myself in my fantasies to the extent that I could afford.”

    tgk, you can quote Soros out of context until you’re cold and blue, but that won’t change the extent to which Beck’s enormous nemo (look it up under J. Fowles) claims that he’s changing the course of American history in according to God’s will.

    Beck and Faux has been saying incredible and mostly wrong stories since they went on the air supporting the Republican’t Agenda – They are a Ministry of Lies, with Czars of distortion. One episode of Beck had Soros as a Nazi “sympathizer”. Considering George Soros was only 13 at the time WWII ended – I asked, oh yeah? What did the 13 year old, poor boy Soros do? LOL. Republicans are lazy and blind-faith sheep. They refuse the truth as it stares them in the face. Witness the idiocy of the Teabagers (and/or Koch Bros. hired bloggers) here.

    I don’t have a quote offhand, but I can tell you it was far, far more gracious than Rachel Maddow “apologizing” for “accidentally” falsely accusing a Republican Congressman of having “prior notice” of the Oklahoma City bombing. Maddow, you will recall, used her “retraction” as an opportunity to attack those who had called her out on it.

    And here’s the other difference between those two events. With Beck’s mistake, we know how the mistake was made. He was relying on a third-party report from an Indian blog. A faulty source, true, but mistakes like that happen sometimes (Dan Rather National Guard documents anyone?). Beck wasn’t the only one to make that mistake, as the White House press corp was asking Gibbs about it the next day.

    Maddow, on the other hand, never explained how she had sourced her outrageous claim in the first place. Where did she get her mistaken info from? Don’t you think she should explain that?

    Beck isn’t making a mistake. He knew where the information came from as did Michelle Bachmann, Sean Hannity, (Beck of course) and all the other Reich Wing Propagandists that night. It’s intentional – because you sheep will repeat it and repeat it willingly. Your ignorance is their strongest tool. And in the heartland – they of course believe it and won’t bother to get the truth. Lies.

    Republicans are very easily fooled by “foreign intelligence” apparently (considering they have none of their own). They get their lead talking points from a “third world publication” without any proof and of course, in the Andrew Brietbart school of republican propaganda – circulate it as “true” to the neocon idiot troops to run through their spin cycle and illiterate GOP representatives to spread to the minions.

    Just like Bush blamed the UK intelligence (after telling the UN to Eff off and that we “didn’t need anyone else”). He ginned up false intel and when found out, lied to cover his tracks and say it was from our allies in the UK that we got the bad information. And another sheep gets his BAAAAAAAAA. The GOP.

    The Republicans stole Florida in 2000 and made Ohio a questionable 2004, get in bed with Diebold and are worried about Soros (and disenfranchising minority votes in 2008 and 2010); they are the only ones EVER accused of jacking the election boxes in recent history. Another GOP misdirection!

Or bloggers that suggest you provide proof that Beck did or didnt retract something instead of just doing the research themselves.. It isnt the job of a blogger on here to defend or provide anyone any proof or answers on here, its your own job to do your own research, and educate yourself, and you if you arent doing this, you are a uneducated ninny.

    Journalists DO THE HOMEWORK – Beck makes accusations he knows a) his audience won’t research and b) want to hear – facts be damned. That’s how brainwashing and propaganda work.

    “Spoohy Dude” is indeed spooky. Last summer, Soros pledged $50 million to his Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET) after INET had a conference in New York. One of the attendees, Andre Wilkens, who represented the prestigious German foundation Siftung Mercator, wrote:

    The challenge ahead is to manage a peaceful decline of the west while rescuing as many of the west’s liberal political and economic values as possible…We need new global governance which can both manage the ascent of China, India, Russia, Brazil as well as the relative decline of the United States and Europe. Europe and the US must concentrate on shaping this new global governance and enshrine its progressive values within it, while they still have some power to do so.

    INET blames the economic crisis on free market capitalism and promotes a return to the theories of John Maynard Keynes.

    Soros’ ultimate goal is global governence.

    look up: George Soros’ New Plan for Globalism and Crony Capitalism

    What do you know about the Project for A New American Century? The Heritage Foundation and Bill Kristol. FreedomWorks and Dick Army, Americans for Prosperity and the Koch Industries (as well as FreedomWorks and Teabager movement); Fox and Murdoch, Falwell and Reagan?

    Here’s some advice, junior, if you don’t like Fox News, don’t watch. If it’s the worst you can come up with, you’re living pretty damn good, asshole.

    A couple of notes: Fox is not “news” – they are 90% opinions (propaganda) with a couple of supposed news shows somewhere in between. That’s why it’s a laugh when they say #1 Cable News and O’Reilly, Beck, Hannity are “opinionators” of propaganda. Shep is news and the Wallace kid on the weekend, but they slant HARD right. the other thing is “Kneeling facing Mecca is a respectful Muslim prayer practice – just like those crazy religulous practices you keep trying to force on American children in school. Why do I say crazy religious practices “you want in schools”? Because no one is trying to convert us into being Muslims or any other religious fraction – only the Right-Wing NeoCons think and pray that way.

    I agree. Unfortunately, unbeknown to me, our education system has been under attack a lot longer than I could have imagined and failed us. My own brother is home schooling his kids – meaning they’ll have one view of life instilled in them – not unlike the blind faith republican constituent – and not all the facts or ability to see the truth. Frightening and one must imagine how the failed house painter in Germany pulled off one of the biggest atrocities in our brief history. Incredible that Americans can be so willfully misled.

    I cannot speak for James, but I am willing and able to see things from both sides. My masters thesis was about “holding two opposed concepts in the mind at the same time and still be able to function.” I called it “quantum rationality.”

    To your point, I will change my mind if the facts support a different perspective. I’ve done this all my life. I went to grad school opposed to nuclear weapons and came out a proponent of balance in weaponry. I’ve opposed nuclear power, but climate change is forcing a different opinion about moving in that direction if we want to preserve any semblance of our lifestyles and stop the planet from overheating.

    If Soros is so concerned about Beck, he should go on his show. From what I read from the left he would leave Beck in the wind. So why not, what is keeping Soros from accepting Beck’s invite.

    He has nothing to lose and if what Beck is saying is false than wouldn’t Soros come out on top?

    On the other hand Soros perhaps feels he has nothing to lose, why lower himself. Valid arguement, but if he has felt Beck isn’t good for this country than the ball is in Soros court.

    I don’t think a man as important as Soros is really impacted by Beck, and Beck, as usual, is exaggerating this encounter. He’s a ridiculous man, and like someone else UP THERE said, he’s fun to watch. Soros’ appearance would legitimize Beck on some level, and make him a puppeteer not only to his empty-headed weak-minded listeners, but of the wealthy and powerful, too. Beck wants so bad to be taken seriously by intelligent people, but he’ll never be. Getting a guest the status of Soros would mean he’s finally arrived. That dare at the end of that video isn’t going to do it.

    And, by the way, I did a search on collapsing economies and Soros name no only didn’t come up first; it didn’t come up at all.

    In the last five years of its existence, the SOS Project has been successful in getting nine out of 11 “progressive” secretaries of state elected. This includes Minnesota’s Mark Ritchie who oversaw the 2008-09 ballot recount* between Democrat Al Franken and Republican Norm Coleman. [Here are the races Soros' SOS Project is active in for November.]

    * In July 2010, an 18-month study by Minnesota Majority determined that at least 341 convicted felons in largely Democratic Minneapolis-St. Paul voted illegally. Franken beat Coleman by 312 votes. Claims that Franken, Soros and Ritchie stole the election have been ignored.

    “‘did Beck ever issue a correction for his 34 warships/2 billion dollar India trip comments?’

    He will as soon as they fess up to how much it DID cost.”

    For security reasons, costs are never discussed, though Pentagon spokesperson Geoff Marshall called the neocon’s claims ‘absurd.”

    I don’t know much about Soros whether he’s a good guy or a bad one. I’ve tried to watch Beck several times just because so many people seem to be watching him but I think the man is absolutely mad…..I do n’t know if Soros wants a one world government but needless to say we know that won’t work. Take a look at the United Nations…how well has that worked? Also the revolutions that Beck accuses Soros of supporting such as the orange revolution in Ukraine…those were all anti-communist and pro democracy revolutions…just to clarify…so I don’t know what point Beck was trying to make of that. It seems to me that Republicans hate Soros cause he supports the dem’s and jews hate him because he was a jew turned atheist and he doesn’t support Israel. as far as the economy is concerned ….I question how much power one man have over a world economy….I don’t know but it seems a little too far fetched for me. So a lot of people want to get this guy….
