Conservative talker Glenn Beck is under fire today for comments he made about some of the victims of the southern California wildfires during yesterday’s edition of The Glenn Beck Program.

Media Ma……

So you are telling us you much prefer getting down and dirty in the mud like our Liberal conterparts?

Respectfully, considering your posts you may not want to try to take the high ground on this point.

But you know it’s so much easier to hate Hollywood than to love logic.

Logic states that unfortunately means “unfortunately”.

Too many people on the conservative side try to claim the high moral ground by sacraficing people on our own side.

Ain’t that the truth?

Glenn is dead wrong. Most of the fires are in Red areas. I bet more Republicans lost their homes. He is an arshat.

Very true, My Dad was sayiong the very same thing today at lunch. If you believe Liberal Lalaland was burnt to the ground, think again becuase you are mistaken.

But you know it’s so much easier to hate Hollywood than to love logic.

This is pure egotism and it is done as a way of saying “I am better than the average conservative, because I won’t get my hands dirty”.

Thnk again, you may reconsider. Ann Coulter isn’t worth “wrestling the pig” for, really.

This is pure egotism and it is done as a way of saying “I am better than the average conservative, because I won’t get my hands dirty”.

That kind of false piety and egotistical self righteousness makes me roll my eyes every time I see it. And when they use a news source like MM to fuel their orgy of self gratification, it only fuels more and more future attacks from said organization.

Good lord, let’s hope this thread is dead. It was stupid to begin with.

The pious, holier-than-thou crap in here is so deep I bailed out after DaveS’ umpteenth post.

What an utter load of sanctimonious bu11$hit.

I also heard Glenn talk about this yesterday.

You folks should have heard the tone of his voice. Bristling with anger that MM would twist what he said to make it appear as if he wished disaster on someone.

One you’re a person who actually wishes nothing but the best for people and what you said gets twisted so that it’s just the opposite .. well what’s more unjust than that.

I was disgusted to see this on HotAir yesterday but was waiting for the show’s transcript to come out today so I could provide what he said.

MM’s only objective is to demonize conservatives.

That all you idiots spent all of this time parsing Glenn’s motivations instead of MM’s tells more about you than about Glenn.

Anyone who’s listened to Glenn for more than 5 minutes must know that he isn’t the kind of person who would say something like its purported he said.

And if he did misspeak and clumsily put together some words, SO FREAKIN’ WHAT. What? you never said something in the wrong way?

You emotional cripples are insufferable.

Thanks for typing out the transcript, ClericalGal.

I am a big fan of Glenn. As an Insider, I get to download his show, because I can only listen to the first hour while I go to work. In the third hour today, he addressed this “controversy”. Here is what he said in part (transcribed from iTunes):

“I shouldn’t have to say this, especially in the United States of America, but for the benefit of the bloggers only, I will. The wildfires in California are a tragedy. I don’t want anyone to lose their home. I don’t care what their political stripes are. I don’t want a soul to lose their home. And anyone who doesn’t want to make me into an evil supervillian would understand that.”

He then went on to say that people who have listened to his show for a long time know that wildfires “affect him deeply”
because he grew up in the Pacific Northwest. As for myself, I heard him make that comment live, and it was obvious that he was talking about Hollywood liberals and not anyone else affected by the wildfires. He also said “unfortunately”.

It is good that blogs like Hot Air can criticize their own, unlike Kos, but you should not jump to conclusions about a remark, especially one that is featured by Media Matters. Glenn is second only to Bill O’Reilly in frequency of attacks.

I hope you read this, Allah, even though it IS a dead thread.

Most of these posters here can’t handle having to reason and think about the difference between what Glenn said and what the Daily Kosers Losers say about Laura Ingraham and Tony Snow…

They would much rather be partsian than reasonable unfortunately.

Not that that they deserve to lose their homes because of it. But that is who he was talking about.

Exactly, no one deserves to have their houses burn down and no one deserves to get cancer because of their political beliefs.

Glenn Beck is very unkind.

Oh come on! He was talking about Hollywood. That is obvious. Those like Sean Penn, Susan Sarandon, those who made “Rendition” ect. The rich hypocritical hollywood types.

Not that that they deserve to lose their homes because of it. But that is who he was talking about.

You gotta wonder why someone would come onto a partisan website to complain about partisans.

I’m hardly complaining, just pointing out the irrational behavior which evolves from wacky over the top partisan behavior.

I don’t believe that a lot of people who post here are morons. I do think that SOME are morons. Unfortunately, many of them are defending Glenn Beck’s stupid statement, today. But I will no longer be here to listen.

Dave,

If they defend Glenn Beck and then turn around and – condemn the moonbats for posting that both Laura Ingraham and Tony Snow’s cancer came from their Right Leaning opinions – well then they are just plain hypocritical partisan morons.

I’m with you.

And unfortunately this is what has happened to my beloved GOP, many of the members resemble moonbats in all shapes, sizes and mindsets. This is why we lost the midterms. Pigheaded Fringe elements have unsurped the GOP and Glenn Beck is a prominent example. These types will say anything for attention, to line their own pockets, regardless of how sick and twisted the outcome. Him, Ann Coulter, Michael Savage. They are almost like agent provocateurs.

How did this happen?? When did this happen??

This is way I have been hoping (and commenting under other posts)that they all just get out already so The Party can grow and be what it once was before we put out the Fringe vacuum and attracted every wingnut this side of hell.

It’s available via the original post–smack dab in his speech about Republicans and Democrats coming together. What a partisan hack!

Sheesh. C’mon folks… stop being knee-jerk reactionaries and let things breathe a little. Otherwise, you’re just being marionettes.
