Glenn Beck to Megyn Kelly: Don’t you think the left is terrified of Palin?
posted at 9:35 pm on March 25, 2009 by Allahpundit
“They know where America is sitting,” says Beck of the ‘Cuda’s lefty persecutors, theorizing that she’s a clear and present danger to their hold on government in this political climate. Maybe so down the road, but where America is sitting as of last week is Obama 55, Palin 35. Another $5 trillion in bailouts and stimulus, though, and who knows?
Anyway, something here for those who find Greta’s pieces on Palin too hard-hitting. I was wrong, incidentally, in what I said earlier about the Rush/Levin interview. That’s not the reddest red-meat video ever. This is.

One battle at a time?

Glenn Beck an Megyn Kelly??? What kind of ratings would that get as a full time show?
Johnson on March 25, 2009 at 9:39 PM
Oh come on, you put up Megyn Kelly but not Beck wrapping a dead fish?
John_Locke on March 25, 2009 at 9:39 PM
Can Nielsen rate that high?
John_Locke on March 25, 2009 at 9:39 PM
But before she can captivate Allahpundit, she’s going to have to put on at least 60-75 lbs.

I missed today’s show. He did what with a fish?
Weight of Glory on March 25, 2009 at 9:41 PM
It’s not just the left who are terrified of her. The squishy right (you all know who you are … and so do we) are scared sh!tless, too.
progressoverpeace on March 25, 2009 at 9:41 PM
LOL!!
And all on her left side.

She’ll have to start trashing conservatives as a group of extremists, too.
PBoilermaker on March 25, 2009 at 9:43 PM
Ha! Awesome.
Weight of Glory on March 25, 2009 at 9:45 PM
These ‘ethics complaints’ are all about sinking Sarah preemptively.
bikermailman on March 25, 2009 at 9:45 PM
Megyn Kelly is all over FOX News lately. She was on Red Eye a couple of weeks ago, O’Reilly last night, Beck tonight. Hmmmm.
jix on March 25, 2009 at 9:45 PM
As someone that likes Obama and doesn’t see any GOPers I like who have a realistic shot at beating him – thus I’ve basically decided to vote for Obama again in 2012, I just want to say that I really, really, really want him to run against Palin.
Proud Rino on March 25, 2009 at 9:45 PM
It’s also what she personifies – or what the left thinks she personifies – that they oppose so vehemently.
Especially the cultural/social left – people like Andrew Sullivan.
Yes, they’ll go after her personal history but that is just a substitute for what they are opposed to.
And it’s not just her political views – it’s her very existence.
SteveMG on March 25, 2009 at 9:46 PM
Please the left is not terrified of Palin. Beck come on!

Megyn Kelly would thrash Barkolounger’s ass, after which he’d beg for more.

Glenn Beck, Megyn Kelly on Sarah Palin? Doesn’t get much better than this unless Rush makes a cameo.
P.S.: Now I know why Allah is spending so much time on Twitter. Meghan McCain. Our favorite blogger is obsessed.
carbon_footprint on March 25, 2009 at 9:47 PM
Glenn and Megyn speak the truth! Tammy Bruce was all over this on Laura Ingraham’s radio show too!
Sarah is still a target even though Obama won.
Team Obama and the Dems know Sarah can take them down. Especially when people wake up and realize the MSM smeared and lied about Sarah during the election. Many people will be angry. Americans do not like to see injustice. John Ziegler’s “Media Malpractice” is helping to get the truth out.
Sarah needs to start her legal fund ASAP!

Poptech on March 25, 2009 at 9:50 PM
She need to be freed of the Talking Points crap and talk past the press to the people like Reagan did. So long as conservatives do interviews with the MSM… the MSM will define the playing field.
We’re STILL reacting to the news instead of deciding what needs to be the news.
That is the secret. We can have 47 million right-wing blogs, but as long as they just react to what the Left decides are the “approved” topics, the argument is not advanced.
Reagan DEFINED the debate. Palin hasn’t done that yet.
mankai on March 25, 2009 at 9:50 PM
He took a dead fish, analogized the dead fish to us monetizing our debt, and then wrapped it in a newspaper, which he analogized to the different stories that distracted everyone from seeing the dead fish/monetizing the debt.
The man is unbalanced. He also was essentially serenaded by a country musician.
John_Locke on March 25, 2009 at 9:50 PM
Are there unicorns, fairies, and crab-people around too? I’m just trying to get a handle on what it looks like in Imaginationland.

redrock on March 25, 2009 at 9:51 PM
ummm.. if they’re so terrified of her then why is the liberal media getting her in the spotlight every chance they can? They’re still using the tactic of throwing some fluff attack at her to anger her supporters and get them rallied around her just as Beck did. Why? The same reason the liberal media heaped the attention on McCain prior to Super Tuesday: They want an easy win.
popularpeoplesfront on March 25, 2009 at 9:51 PM
“needs”… I wasn’t trying to be relevant or anything.
mankai on March 25, 2009 at 9:51 PM
Why am I not surprised Beck thinks Palin is the greatest? Crazy is as crazy does.
Interesting little alliance could be formed with Palin, Beck and John Coale. A fundie, a Mormon and a Scientologist walk in to a bar…
SnarkVader on March 25, 2009 at 9:51 PM
That makes two of us. I’d love to see Palin make Obama cry like a girl.
jimmy2shoes on March 25, 2009 at 9:52 PM
Palin can’t define the debate cause she doesn’t even know what define means. I’m not the type to think she’s a total idiot, but for God’s sakes the folksy crap isn’t the only way to win. She needs to know her economics damned well if she’s going to play in the Big Leagues, especially after The One finishes wrecking our economy.
John_Locke on March 25, 2009 at 9:52 PM
No way dude – keep this sobbing fishmonger front and center. This guy – this guy is the future of the GOP.
Proud Rino on March 25, 2009 at 9:52 PM
What a shock. You’re going to vote democrat. Never saw that coming. No-sir-ree.
Blake on March 25, 2009 at 9:53 PM
Look you can be a jackass all you want, the fact is that his ratings freaking annihilate everyone else’s. If he has as much influence as it seems (and if you look at the tea parties and how many slogans are adopted from his show to the signs there) then Obama and the Dems are in for a world of hurt in the 2010 elections.
John_Locke on March 25, 2009 at 9:54 PM
Imagine a St. Patty’s day party for the Irish P.M. without the President thanking herself for inviting herself to her own party. It’s sorta like that.
jimmy2shoes on March 25, 2009 at 9:54 PM
And to think, Alaska has a surplus.
……God help us.

No. At some point they may become “terrified” of Obama though, that is, if he drops a lot in the polls.

Palin is getting about $7 million for her book so she’ll be okay. But since she is someone at heart who feels most comfortable buying diapers at Wal-mart, I know having to spend $500,000 of it to defend against charges like “using a pc for private use” must really hurt.
DarkKnight3565 on March 25, 2009 at 9:56 PM
Obama’s 58 states agree.
Hawkins1701 on March 25, 2009 at 9:57 PM
I think some of the right is terrified of Palin.
John_Locke on March 25, 2009 at 9:57 PM
Yet another of the multitude of contemptible lies against Sarah Palin. I have been waiting to be convinced about Sarah Palin. How the left attacks her with nothing but lies has me just about all of the way convinced.
MoCoM on March 25, 2009 at 9:58 PM

John_Locke on March 25, 2009 at 9:59 PM
I hate to tell you people who never watch or listen, but Glenn couldn’t give a crap about the Republican party or the Dems. And perhaps you’d rather be watching a faux Ivy Leaguer give faux Shakespearean soliloquies to the maybe fourteen people who watch him. Methinks a month’s or so of Olberdouch’s ratings match up to one day of Glenn’s.

Alaska has a $5-9 billion surplus, she’s cutting some taxes and completely eliminating others, and she just told Obama to shove hundreds of millions of his debt-causing, liberal spending spree dollars up his ass because her state doesn’t need it. Imagine that situation at the federal level. Who’s gonna school who on economics??
Crusty on March 25, 2009 at 10:06 PM
Sorta like how Limbaugh is always an insignificant little fatty dumb head McFat face.
But the DNC just HAS to take down an insignificant man with such a very strongly worded billboard…
Hawkins1701 on March 25, 2009 at 10:06 PM
the reality that Poptech is allowed to post this spam and troll every Palin thread is really a disgrace and it reflects on Hotair.com in this way
but worse is the willingness of Allahpundit to allow it to happen so that he gets a lot of comments.
What readers are figuring out is that every Palin thread is overrun by Poptech with his spam and this is the only reason why the comments rack up in the way that they do.
Really disgraceful behavior if you ask me and a reason why many people have probably become disappointed
joey24007 on March 25, 2009 at 10:06 PM
Look, another cut-and-paste from Poptech on a Palin thread. Is that all you got?

Dr. ZhivBlago on March 25, 2009 at 10:09 PM
She got lucky on high oil prices and the state’s insane socialistic policies for oil revenue when it was $140 a barrel. Look all I’m saying is that in the campaign, she did not understand economics.
John_Locke on March 25, 2009 at 10:09 PM

Hate to use the class punching bag here, but that’s what I mean by “got lucky” on high oil prices.
John_Locke on March 25, 2009 at 10:10 PM
She reads most of her news online because most of the national publications take a bit of time to reach Alaska. So wouldn’t be surprised if she reads the economist online.
TimeTraveler on March 25, 2009 at 10:10 PM
Even suppose she were to make millions on a possible book deal, why does she have to fritter away her hard-earned money on these phony charges?
Also, if she weren’t the celebrity she is today, she’d just be an ordinary working class woman trying to do her best in public service. Some of these ankle-biters would have gone after her even then. How could she have coughed up the money in that case? That’s what’s so chilling about this persecution. If she is manhandled like this, what about other virtuous but poor people who are striving to do their best across the country?

Cindy Munford on March 25, 2009 at 10:11 PM
the state of Alaska has a savings account asswipe
they have 8 billion in it … they are debating whether or not to use their savings to cover the shortfall, but with oil rising again … they might not need it
the point remains that they have the savings in case of an emergency because Palin did not allow the legislature to go on a spree in the summmer
joey24007 on March 25, 2009 at 10:11 PM
I’m much more afraid of the Republicans nominating her than the Democrats are. If we nominate her we almost guarantee Obama’s second term.
