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.

Lindsey Grahamnesty has zero credibility on anything conservative. He’s a RINO’s RINO.

It’s the only blow up doll in America that services, instead of getting serviced.

You have to remember that Glenn Beck DID insult Lindsey’s boy.

FIFY Graham.. I knew you were talking about Larda$$ Moore.
Caper29 on October 1, 2009 at 8:21 PM
Everyone knows I’m not the most stalwart Beck fan (understatement) but, CYNIC? Seriously? I guess compared to this milquetoast rainbow lover who in the same breath talked about walking hand-in-hand to the other side of the mountain in the sunset with liberals, yeah…Glenn Beck is a cynic.
I’ll take the weeping cynicism over Grahamnesty any day. Thanks!
Diane on October 1, 2009 at 8:23 PM
Well, his parents did give him a girl’s name, Lindsey, and he does have that effeminate lilt in his elocution.
Hence, he’s been reachin’ across the aisle, so to speak, pretty much all his life, the Senate thus being the perfect fit for him.
He’s so unlike Johnny Cash’s “Boy Named Sue, whose father named him that to make him tough.
South Carolina, and I love your state, can’t you do better than this?

There are MANY EFFORTS AFOOT back home to expose that poofter for what he is.
I know one group back home working to OUT HIM as we speak. It is their sole mission in life to get him GONE BY ANY LEGAL MEANS AT THEIR DISPOSAL.
It isn’t about gay bashing, but about using perhaps the ONLY TOOL LEFT to save the Old Guard Retards back home from themselves>>>> their own PREJUDICE>>>> to get him out of his office.
If the only way they could get Capone was tax evasion, then using a little good old fashioned HATE might be all it takes to keep him from humiliating SC any further.
Rooting him out is getting UGLY and DIRTY.
AND SO WHAT. We are simply using GOOBERS TO GET RID OF GOOBER.

AshleyTKing on October 1, 2009 at 8:55 PM
Here are my thoughts on all this.
1) Beck is not a Birther, he’s a big clown. He is entertaining, stop making him out to have some sort of leadership opinion.
2) More democrats believe Bush was behind 9/11 than there are Birthers.
3) The Birther conspiracy is pretty harmless, the left called Bush illegitimate his entire 1st term.
4) The left is visibly insane. Claiming we want people to die.
5) The left is comparing our health care system to the Holocaust.
6) The left is comparing our health care system to the Holocaust.
7) The left is also claiming that racism is behind our mistrust of a man who already blew 787 billion.
8) Linsey Graham is giving credibility to the left’s strawman with his comments.
9) Linsey Graham is a tool, so is anyone else who brings up birthers.
10) The left is comparing our health care system to the Holocaust.
How can you compare the 1% of a crowd of 500,000 to elected officials on the left who are unhinged and spewing hate towards American citizens? You can’t. There is no equivalence here.

Texyank on October 1, 2009 at 8:59 PM
The self-appointed Circumspect Right would do well to get some perspective. Who exactly do they think is equating them with Glenn Beck? Anyone who matters?
Glenn Beck has gotten done things our GOP senators can’t do: he’s gotten word out to the American people about the kinds of officials Obama has been appointing, and that word has gotten at least one terrible choice out of office. Czar Van Jones is gone, and only a fool would think Jones couldn’t have done real damage to the federal regulatory environment from his Green Czar perch.
Beck also debuted the ACORN sting tapes, giving those recordings the boost they needed to get Congress moving. Without the exposure for those tapes that a popular commentator like Beck guarantees, Congress was never going to do anything about the hemorrhage of federal funds to ACORN. Never.
The average American is fully justified in thinking that Congress is not looking out for him. The Glenn Beck aficionado, by contrast, is justified in thinking Glenn Beck is looking out for the average person.
Do I agree with Beck’s more fevered theories and pronouncements? No. Am I a Beck-head? No. Do I even watch him that much? No. Do I think he’s over the top sometimes? Yes.
But I don’t want to hear another word from Lindsey Graham about Glenn Beck until Graham has gotten a demented-radical Obama Czar dismissed, and until Congress has cut off a thuggish, suspect, under-indictment organization like ACORN from the federal slop-pile without having to be shamed into it by amateur sleuths and a media personality.
Circumspection like Graham’s is what has prevailed up to now, and what it has bought us is a situation in which the hapless taxpayer’s representatives have the gall to tell him to calm down, when the representatives are writing checks with the taxpayers’ money to street gangs and shakedown artists.
How dare Graham try to rebuke long-suffering citizens for responding to truth and action, when someone manages to produce them? Even if it’s Glenn Beck, and the messenger is manifestly imperfect? Unlike Graham, I am well able to distinguish between the actual facts Beck reports, which no one else does, and Beck’s analysis and theories, some of which are off the wall (or, at least, I disagree with them). I give my fellow conservatives credit for the same discernment.

I prefer a man who cries out of sorrow for the trainwreck his once great country is headed towards to a man who calls those of us who simply don’t want terrorists to be able to walk across our southern border “racists”.
Who cares if Beck gets emotional anyway? The guy obviously isn’t a p*ssy. He lays out devastating indictment after devastating indictment of this administration on his radio and television shows and takes more heat that anyone for it. The guy is in the trenches taking grenades for us. He signed his 50 mil contract before he was this effective. He could play it safe. Instead he is going for the jugular and winning. He says he doesn’t care if he loses everything by exposing the things he does and I believe him. Libs and Rinos like Graham criticize this man in every way but the one that would be effective: no one refutes the truth of what he says. Beck has bal*s of steel, tears or no tears.

Diane on October 1, 2009 at 9:15 PM
Ummm …. Lindsey, if you want the birthers to go away, the best way to do that is to ignore them.
Graham’s playing to his favorite constituency – the media – and should not be let anywhere NEAR a leadership position.

macncheez on October 1, 2009 at 9:22 PM
I am not a Beck fan. He’s right on an awful lot of things and he makes some extremely good points, but his style disturbs me and I don’t tune in.
That said, Lindsey Graham is even more annoying than Beck and needs to STFU. Graham’s annoyance factor is 5 times that of Beck. We will readily donate to a credible Graham primary challenger.
We no longer donate to parties national or local. We donate to worthy individual candidates anywhere in the US– woo-hoo Rubio, Toomey, and the challengers for Reid and Dodd.
Perhaps this statement earned Lindsey his media attaboys today and he can continue to rely on people buying him drinks and nice dinners in DC tonight. The rest of us would live much better without him and his ilk.

HornetSting on October 1, 2009 at 9:30 PM
Graham will be looking for a new job or will have to change the R to a D soon. I guess he doesn’t follow the numbers for Beck and doesn’t realize how many people that aren’t fringe want to see the birth certificate.

MikeA on October 1, 2009 at 9:33 PM
Glenn Beck is tops in my book! He is not afraid to be passionate or say things that are unpopular. He is also not afraid to make a mistake and own it. To me that defines what a real man should be. It will certainly be interesting to see how much he is right about as this insane saga plays itself out. We are living in some topsy turvy times!
ReneePA on October 1, 2009 at 9:34 PM
”Yup, and Graham is one of the reasons that cynicism is such a large market. If clowns like him really want people to have more faith in the government, they need to stop doing insane things while they are in government. Until then, expect cynicisim to grow.
Don’t know what happened to the stupid keyboard

Beck jealousy is becoming an entire cottage industry.
notagool on October 1, 2009 at 9:35 PM
You know the GOP is in trouble when the “elected” official gets bashed, for speaking about an entertainer, lol. What is the world coming to? Why is the GOP so content with following entertainers, Rush, Beck, Coulter, Levin? These entertainers had the same agenda before the elections, and the GOP still lost…badly. I think it’s safe to say that propping up these people as party leaders are doing the GOP absolutely no-good. Just my opinion…please just step around the troll.
StoneKrab on October 1, 2009 at 9:39 PM
It’s lonely at the top! Many people are like crabs in a barrel. They cannot stand to see someone with more power or influence than them. Beck is just going to get more and more successful and certain people are just going to be stewing in the green juice of envy. They just can’t help themselves.
ReneePA on October 1, 2009 at 9:40 PM
What does the GOP no good is all of the infighting and petty envy. There are also very few statesmen/women around. It’s all politicians. Washington needs a good delousing because it’s chock full of parasites. We really need to stop hosting these derelicts.
ReneePA on October 1, 2009 at 9:43 PM
The two black guys on Beck’s program tonight were great I thought. We might actually be able to have the now famous’dialogue’ if more guys like that are out there speaking up. I look forward to seeing and hearing more.

Stunning that this wimp thinks he contributes more to the welfare of the U.S. than Glenn Beck.
GaltBlvnAtty on October 1, 2009 at 9:46 PM
I think Lindsay Graham needs to do some serious thinking about some of the dumb things he is saying and doing — voting for Sotomayer, talking about immigration reform, knocking Beck. He will make himself irrelevant if he does not change his ways.
If you are paying attention, Graham is making McCain look like a stalwart conservative in comparison — McCain voted against Sotomayer, talks about aupporting General McChrystal in Afghanistan and the Iranian protestors and does not knock any conservative commentator, even Rush, and jumps at the chance to appear on Hannity’s show.
Phil Byler on October 1, 2009 at 9:48 PM
Lindsey Graham is just continuing his long standing tradition of being a “swing” Republican. He will swing Democrat or Republican depending upon his mood, agenda, or the weather.
TexasDude on October 1, 2009 at 9:48 PM
I’m looking forward to seeing you explain the significance of you noting that their were ‘two black guys’ on Beck’s show today.

HornetSting on October 1, 2009 at 9:52 PM
There is a lot of significance to blacks being on Beck’s show and being in the GOP. Blacks are waking up and smelling the coffee. They are realizing that they have been hoodwinked and bamboozled by the Democrats. The Democrats do not care about bettering the lives of people of any color. They want to have a class of dependents. The race card has lost it’s shock value at this point which really sucks for the Democrats because now they don’t have a leg to stand on.
ReneePA on October 1, 2009 at 9:54 PM

Is it true (don’t know, but heard it…) Lindsey Graham and McCain are gay and lovers? I heard it and had to wonder, but they are always together. Ish.
suzyk on October 1, 2009 at 9:56 PM
I can’t believe that it was Joe Wilson that was labeled the kook from SC. Graham is quickly turning into a GOP version of Jimmy Carter. A social liberal who occasionally votes with the party when it doesn’t interfere with his real agenda. Graham became a persona non grata with me when he called anti-amnesty proponents racist. He cemented a permanent place on my blacklist by his patronizing preaching that is somewhat similar to the sermons from the filthy liar in the White House without the “I” component.
highhopes on October 1, 2009 at 9:58 PM
I was riveted by the story of the Biz Guy, he’s always on Cavuto and I always love their banter…..and growing up, fearing your own race, because you want to better yourself.
You see it later, Condi Rice, for instance, was not celebrated for her achievements by her own race…..
It is sad.
HornetSting on October 1, 2009 at 10:03 PM
You phrased that exactly right. The race card is still out there but it no longer has the value it once possessed. I’d venture to say that there isn’t a white working adult in America that hasn’t been called racist at some point in their career. For me, the first time was when I had the audacity to expect an employee to take leave if he was going to go to Atlanta for the MLK birthday commemoration. Apparently holding all employees to the same standard was racist and the bastard filed a complaint which went nowhere.
Simply put, the constant drumbeat of false charges of racism have cheapened the race card to the point that it is meaningless when the first openly multi-racial President gets up there and lectures the public on how racist we really are.
highhopes on October 1, 2009 at 10:05 PM
Graham is jealous. He’s also mad because he’s basically a wimpy pus$y that wants to cry but doesn’t have the balls to, and is now jealous because Beck did it and is making mega bucks.
ROFL.

I_C on October 1, 2009 at 10:08 PM
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?
StoneKrab on October 1, 2009 at 10:17 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
I am not the least bit afraid of being called a racist because I know it’s not true. I find it laughable when people resort to that. My Yoga teacher is black and we talk about this stuff all the time. She is conservative and has to hide it from a lot of other blacks.
ReneePA on October 1, 2009 at 10:20 PM

Gosh, the Democrats are so weak, incompetent and corrupt, I was all set to vote Republican until I saw some guy ask to see a birth certificate and all the Republicans in the room didn’t jump all over him.
Basilsbest on October 1, 2009 at 10:25 PM
I’ve always wondered if he was a “squatter”.
Jakefut on October 1, 2009 at 10:28 PM
I’ve been on the fence with Lindsey these last few years. He’s done some good things for conservatives and espousing conservative philosophy. But then they’re moments like this (critique of Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh) that tell me he’s not only fallen off the conservative wagon but he has no compass, no clue about conservative philosophy and no respect for true conservative voices. Whereupon I have no respect, no time to listen to him anymore. He’s in the same camp as Spector, Snowe, McCain, Chafee, Hagel, and other so-called moderate Republicans. He’s been in Washington too long. He and his brethren are a cancer to conservatism and the Republican party and need to be voted off the reservation.
16MPG on October 1, 2009 at 10:29 PM
It is the Democrats that think that they know what is best for everyone… hahaha. I don’t need to save anyone. I believe in personal responsibility. Being responsible for myself is a big enough job for me. I think that all people who support a nanny state are asking for trouble regardless of their skin color.
ReneePA on October 1, 2009 at 10:34 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.
That would’ve been a helpful comment…I don’t know, BEFORE you singled my race out. Thanks.
StoneKrab on October 1, 2009 at 10:43 PM
To 16MPG re October 1, 2009 10:29 PM post:
Your list of “moderate” Republicans needs revision. Spector and Chafee are now Democrats. Hagel is something, but not a Republican. Snowe calls herself a Republican, but she voted for Obama’s multi-trillion dollar deficit spending and that is so contrary to Republican principles that she should realize she is something other than a Republican. As for McCain, you need to revise your opinion because he is a good Republican and presently not a moderate except in style and old fashioned restraint.
McCain’s voting record this year is conservative and as good as any. McCain has voted AGAINST every Obama bailout bill. McCain has voted AGAINST every Obama deficit spending bill, denouncing the multi-trillion dollar deficit spending as “generational theft,” a phrase thereafter used by Sean Hannity and more recently by Rush Limbaugh. McCain has voted AGAINST the confirmations of tax cheat Geithner, radical pro-abortion advocate Sebellius, leftist Kagan and transnational legal theorist Koh to their respective positions in the Obama Administration. McCain voted AGAINST the confirmation of Sotomayer to the U.S. Supreme Court. McCain has announced he is opposed to Obama’s cap and trade bill and opposed to ObamaCare.
