Lindsey Graham on Glenn Beck: “Only in America can you make that much money crying”

posted at 7:35 pm on October 1, 2009 by Allahpundit

Presented without comment. Except to note that he did, in fact, stick up for the grassroots on certain topics at this same event. A nice point:

But he insisted that the demagoguery and wild emotions were prevalent to the fringes of both political parties. “There are people out there saying crazy things on our side of the aisle,” he said, “there were people saying crazy things about President Bush. That’s just the way it is. ”

And he insisted that the opposition to Obama was (largely) not based in racial politics.

“How can you go from [the election],” he asked, “and then have a race problem a few months later? There are people in this party who are having a tough time reconciling having a black president…. But most of these people carrying around crazy signs would applaud Alan Keyes. They are very passionate about their politics and if Alan Keyes spoke at their conference they go through the roof.”

Speaking of Keyes and his hobbyhorses, below the Graham clip you’ll find something related from last night’s Conan. Enjoy.

StoneKrab, you are being awfully sensitive and victim like. I am calling it like I see it.

ReneePA on October 1, 2009 at 10:46 PM

okay.

StoneKrab on October 1, 2009 at 10:47 PM

97% in lock step for obama, you a$$. That’s why.

HornetSting on October 1, 2009 at 10:34 PM
Majority of blacks voted for Bill Clinton also. What’s your point? Spare me the insults dude, that’s weak. No one says anything when the majority of (pick a race) vote Republican. So again, why single us out? Sounds like the dreaded, ‘race card’ to me.

StoneKrab on October 1, 2009 at 10:43 PM

My point? Blacks vote for terrible presidents.
Now, eat sh*t and get off your cross.

HornetSting on October 1, 2009 at 10:48 PM

Sadly Lindsey Graham has turned into nothing but a PUSS BAG. He called all of the people protesting SHAMNESTY racists. All they wanted is for the government to enforce the existing laws which they refused to do. Instead Bush and his cronies, left and right, wanted to curry political favor instead of doing what is right.

hamradio on October 1, 2009 at 10:50 PM

StoneKrab is playing the race card right now. He is trying to be covert about it but it is glaringly obvious. The whole black victim thing doesn’t cut the mustard anymore. You’re going to have to do better than that.

ReneePA on October 1, 2009 at 10:52 PM

People who claim there are equivalences when there are none are losers. Did even one Democrat speak out against the vicious attacks upon Bush? No, they joined in.

Basilsbest on October 1, 2009 at 10:18 PM

There you go. Taking up equivalence argument is the surest sign of moral weakness and political worthlessness.

There was an idiot, Terry Silver, that used to do the same thing around here…..wonder if someone changed their handle? Hmmm.

HornetSting on October 1, 2009 at 10:53 PM

I happen to like Glenn’s crying. At least he has passion about this country. He has done more for those of us on the right since the election, than anyone.

TXMomof3 on October 1, 2009 at 8:02 PM

————————————————————————————-

I wholeheartedly agree.

As for Lindsay Graham, he just has his Depends in a knot because Glenn dissed Mucous McCain, saying it is better that Obama rather than McCain was elected president. Graham-ma just had to hit back. Disappear, grumpy old men…no more sh*t-eating grin from McCain, no more nasaly nonsense from Linnzee.

ziggyville on October 1, 2009 at 10:54 PM

My point? Blacks vote for terrible presidents.

No blacks EVER voted for Reagan? Hmmmm, what a surprise, lol.

Now, eat sh*t

No thanks. Stop, your head’s spoldin’ dude, it’s all over your monitor, wipe it off. Ban hammer, anyone…bueler, bueler?

and get off your cross.

I didn’t know I was on a cross…weird.

StoneKrab on October 1, 2009 at 10:55 PM

All of your comments are so right on about Lindsay. I think it would be a good idea to send him a lot of e-mails with the same sentiments. I think I’ll just let him know how I feel about him myself. Consider it, won’t you?

ReneePA on October 1, 2009 at 10:52 PM

I said okay. Let it go, Renee. You are still going on about it. It’s OKAY, no hard feelings, we’ll all survive this thread, lol.

StoneKrab on October 1, 2009 at 10:58 PM

StoneKrab on October 1, 2009 at 10:55 PM

You have something on your shoulder. Looks like a giant chip. You might want to get that removed.

That race card didn’t work so well around here, did it? We’re not racists like your friends at Huff Post told you….

HornetSting on October 1, 2009 at 11:01 PM

I am not holding onto any sort of animosity but I am not going to just let you off the hook after you got so snarky with me. I stand by everything I said. I don’t need your approval or your okay and that’s what really burns your ass. You don’t know me from a hole in the ground. I do not suffer fools gladly. Wise up dude.

Okay, take care Renee. Cheers!

LINDSAY GRAHAM…..LYING DC CAREER RINO POLITICIAN

Voters of South Carolina……can’t you find SOMEONE better to run on the GOP side than this southern clone of McCain?

I wish he would just do it and just change his party affiliation to Democrat, and take the Maine RINO sisters with you Lindsey.

Assertion: If they are running in 2010 and there name is not JOE WILSON……..then throw the bums out!!!!

ALL OF THEM!!

PappyD61 on October 1, 2009 at 11:28 PM

Yes, Lindsey Graham needs to get some emails over this pile of crap. How dare he mention money, when he has helped send this country into a plague of debt.

mobydutch on October 1, 2009 at 11:31 PM

Miss Lindsey, please,please put that D after your name. You and Benedict Arlen would make such a cute couple.

What the hey with giving Obama POLITICAL support. Everyone supports a CinC in a time of war, but you should support our troops and vow to do what is best for our country, not O’s political clout.

Laura in Maryland on October 1, 2009 at 11:31 PM

Oh…and Glen Beck ROCKS OUT LOUD. Keep crying buddy. Someone has to tell it like is, and Lindsey doesn’t have the stones or brains to do it.

Laura in Maryland on October 1, 2009 at 11:32 PM

Oh, SHUT UP, Lindsey… nobody wants to hear from you. I’m sick of your platitudes. You must like how it feels sitting on the fence all the time. Give you thrills up your legs doing that?

MsUnderestimated on October 1, 2009 at 11:32 PM

I’ve never in my life seen one man hump another man’s leg like I’ve seen Grahamnesty hump John McShame. Frauds of a feather flock together. How SOON we forget, Grahamnesty calling anyone who wanted U.S. Code Title 8, Section 1325 enforced, a “racist”. (Go look up the Federal Law, it says illegal aliens will do 6 months in jail plus a fine for the first offense, 2 years plus a fine for the second offense) Glenn Beck questioned if Obama was a racist, and Beck is spot ON there.
Lindsey (that’s a girls name) Grahamnesty acts a little light in his loafers, I bet good money I could make him cry in 15 seconds or less.

nelsonknows on October 1, 2009 at 11:36 PM

Majority of blacks voted for Bill Clinton also.

StoneKrab

How’d they vote for Hillary Clinton?

97%…against….hitching their chain to the black Jesus instead. But I’m sure it was based on his vast experience and stellar qualifications, and NOT his skin color.

And in other news too stupid to believe….bigfoot was seen riding a unicorn. He’ll let us in on whether horn size DOES matter…coming up at 11.

xblade on October 1, 2009 at 11:38 PM

Lindsey Graham on Glenn Beck Hillary Clinton : “Only in America can you make that much moneybecome SOS by crying

macncheez on October 1, 2009 at 11:44 PM

The reason to ignore anything Lindsy Graham has to say can be summed up in 3 words:
Justice Sonja Sotomayor.

mizflame98 on October 2, 2009 at 12:17 AM

God, the GOP is so f**ked up.

I don’t know if Sarah and DeMint is gonna be enough.

Can DeMint run against Lindsey for South Carolina and then after he takes him out appoint a conservative in his old Senate seat?

Sapwolf on October 2, 2009 at 12:31 AM

Half a testicle at best.

Sapwolf on October 2, 2009 at 12:34 AM

Funny from an elitist, who pays a whopping 503 dollars per year for special medical care…he flies around the world on our ticket. Who has access to just about anyone in the country. Yeah (and I am no fan of Beck) he makes millions, so do a lot of your supporters Lindsey. But when was the last time you took on a “czar” a cabinet member, another senator, or one of your supporters for making money.
Most all of congress is incestuous, especially guys like Graham…they have been around so long that they protect each others jobs and benefits…the aristocrats of America.

right2bright on October 2, 2009 at 1:21 AM

If Lindsey Graham dislikes Beck, that’s a point in Glenn Beck’s favor.

Kohath on October 1, 2009 at 7:48 PM

Does Mark Levin get a point too?

Boehner/Graham 2012

JetBoy on October 2, 2009 at 2:58 AM

Yeah, Lindsey. Sure.

Also, only in America can you make so much being a Congress Critter who constantly and continuously pokes your finger in the American publics’ eye while at the same time stabbing them in the back…

Fuzzlenutter on October 2, 2009 at 3:55 AM

Those million plus who showed up in DC? They are Beck, Limbaugh and Hannity supporters, and for every one there, a hundred wanted to come and couldn’t. If the GOP stays behind the Grahams, McCains, Noonans and Snowes, they will LOSE. Michael Steele, the time to decide between the Elitists and the People is coming, fast.

davecatbone on October 2, 2009 at 5:41 AM

Lead, follow, or get out of the way.

Way over time for Mr. Graham to get out of the way.

Niere on October 2, 2009 at 8:23 AM

Only in a America can a fifty something single man who lives with his mother become a Senator from the state of South Carolina for the REPUBLICAN PARTY.

Elizabetty on October 2, 2009 at 8:43 AM

Really? I didn’t know that if I didn’t support the GOP or Beck that I was ’sleeping’ all this time, SHOCKING. That statement is the exact reason a large majority of ’sleeping blacks’ stay away from the GOP and quite frankly people like you, who think you know what’s best, because we don’t have enough intellect to know when we are being, “bamboozled” or “hoodwinked”. Thanks for saving me from my own ignorance. Are whites who support the Dems being bamboozled too? How about Hispanics…Asians, Native Americans? Why just us?

Exactly. But you see conservatives are generally soft hearted and soft minded so instead of believing in obvious truth: that the only reason why 95% of blacks always vote for race obsessed socialists is the same reason why 30% of whites and that is because instead of higher instincts like morals, compassion, decency they are guided by lower ones like greed, racism etc. And before you say anything I can tell you that vast majority of my community (russians) stink as much if not more than you and your community. Even Levin when confronted by the voting history of vast majority of american jews mumble something about them being “hoodwinked”. Compare it with your friends labeling conservative blacks as “Uncle Toms”. You should be happy though: if conservatives were not misguided by this “liberals have good hearts but are perpetually misguided into behaving as if they don’t” nonsense they would fight you at least half as hard as you fight them.

Alexey on October 2, 2009 at 9:58 AM

We’re back in the game,”It’s nothing we’ve done??”…….You Got that right Senator!
Personally, I don’t understand Graham, Levin and the others who have a problem with Beck’s approach to this Titanic administration. I don’t always agree with Beck, but what he’s doing is what members of Congress and this frickin media have neglected to do. Results is what we need, so far the most significant player to show up in Washington is Glenn Beck.

I think Goober has had too much sex with Juan McCain

bluegrass on October 2, 2009 at 10:31 AM

Graham would have been fine just leaveing it at the crying line. That was funny and would have made a good sound bite.

Beck, Limbaugh and others like them don’t control the party or the agenda. At least not any more than the Washington Post or NYT controls Lindsey.

jpmn on October 2, 2009 at 11:31 AM

Lindsey would give any sum of money (yours, not his) to shed the Grahamnesty label but he can’t. He owns it rightfully and it needs to be hung around his neck like a noose. Gutless worm not even fit for carp fishing.

SKYFOX on October 2, 2009 at 12:32 PM

I think it is time for Lindsey Gramnesty to find another job. He is becoming as wishy washy as John McCain. I think Lindsey should knock his crap off! What an ass clown!
