My fave part, the rub-in:

Ouch, Oh SNAP! NO! :D

It's creative, funny, and also bit creepy somebody took the time and inniative to bait Beck like this or atleast some of his lawyers. Vast liberal conspiracy at work? :P Or is it all the lawyers fault? :showoff: Maybe Glenn Beck orchestrated this all to prove how much people hate him. :P ( or maybe he got the point?) ;)

If MSNBC paid him more,,, he'd be doing the Liberal chant. Anyone that can cry on cue.......IS AN ACTOR. So, since he's in the entertainment biz, he will follow the money.

Re: Glenn Beck gets hoisted by his own petard?
 

You're faulting the man for going after a website that libels and defames him? Seriously? You really have nothing better to do, do you.

This isn't bestbuysux.com, or toysrgus.com (two previous "malicious" or "infringing" websites taken down (or attempted to) by corporate giants. The website is a personal attack on the man, and it's really that simple.

I think he's seriously misinformed about net neutrality, but other than that, I have found very little fault with what he has to say (how he presents it is different), but his CONTENT is clear, well researched, and pretty insightful.

Re: Glenn Beck gets hoisted by his own petard?
 

You said it, sir.

Re: Glenn Beck gets hoisted by his own petard?
 

Kudos for getting an insult in.

Re: Glenn Beck gets hoisted by his own petard?
 

Hey Morg, next time offer some Brie or Gouda with your posts. ;)

Re: Glenn Beck gets hoisted by his own petard?
 

I doubt this. Zealots tend to believe their own rhetoric. I think it's fairly dispicable to spread irrational fear, and even worst under false pretenses. So I'm gonna hope for the best and consider him the real deal. :P

Re: Glenn Beck gets hoisted by his own petard?
 

Southpark also recently PWNED Beck. Very very funny

LinkY, with Beck being a good sport about it-

KILLSMURFS- :laugh:

Re: Glenn Beck gets hoisted by his own petard?
 

Well yes, he is indeed a zealot, but I think he can be paid off. When he was over at CNN he didn't like the current administration at all (Bush). On Fox, he seems to be forbidden to talk about it, but encouraged to dog on Barack all he wants. So, if the price is right he will compromise on his views. He calls himself "an entertainer" - which I agree with but I think he doesn't get the joke. His videos have provided me with much laughter and wonderment.

But, he is mas paranoid and mas nuerotic even in his delivery of topics and stories. Did you see that one where he dressed himself and stuido up with a Russian theme and said "There's more of us than there are of them" and "They won't get us, we will hide and then mount a resistance" lol. Is it any wonder his side are under the FBI domestic terrorist watchlist? Let's not even get started on the crying for no reason thingy. Why do I need reality shows when I got Glenn Beck?

Re: Glenn Beck gets hoisted by his own petard?
 

He still says the Bush adminstration was wrong on the same things he said they were wrong on before he came to FNN. He has not changed what he said, listeners have changed what they hear because of the channel he is on. He blasted Bush Tuesday or Wednesday for the first Bailout just like he did before. BUT HERE IS A FACT SW Bush isn't the President any more whinning about Bush has ZERO effect, Bush can't do a damn thing since He's not President, Bush can't pull one freaking troop out of Afghanistan or Iraq.

Now shhhhhhh don't tell your liberal friends because their heads will explode if they find this out, and we don't want their heads to explode.... Bush can't send one more person to either of those two wars.... President Obama won the election only He can do those kinds of things. Only President Obama can propose legislation.... Raise Taxes.... lose or create jobs.... ADD TO THE DEBT ADD TO THE DEBT ADD TO THE DEBT George Bush can't do any of those things any more.

If'n you folks want to whine about Bush's Presidencey be my guest. I don't mind in fact I rather enjoy watching folks who look back in the REARVIEW MIRROR while they're driving forward.....

Hey Morg, Felix... watch this wreak ;)

Re: Glenn Beck gets hoisted by his own petard?
 

Show me clips of him bitching about Bush on Fox.

Re: Glenn Beck gets hoisted by his own petard?
 

I'm not suprised he ignores Bush recently. Repubs will never get elected again on his memory...
and going after Bush now is a bit like hitting the pinata after it's been emptied of it's candy. ;)

Re: Glenn Beck gets hoisted by his own petard?
 

Why bother? He's just another right wing nutjob who has come home to roost on the "True Believers" network that is Fox News. Why would anyone give a shit what he has to say except another right wing idiot?

Re: Glenn Beck gets hoisted by his own petard?
 

Oh amen. As you prolly know I just love to screw with 'em and watch the fireworks.

Re: Glenn Beck gets hoisted by his own petard?
 

That's the best you Boys got?

Re: Glenn Beck gets hoisted by his own petard?
 

Unless you got proof, yeah.

Re: Glenn Beck gets hoisted by his own petard?
 

Too what end SW? You are on record agreeing that anyone wanting to listen/find out if it is true/give a shit is an Idiot.... So by asking for proof are you admitting your idiocy?

Re: Glenn Beck gets hoisted by his own petard?
 

Oh, I was just giving you attention. You asked if that's all we had, I figured you wanted more. :)

Re: Glenn Beck gets hoisted by his own petard?
 

Ooooh, the gotcha game is afoot! The SUSPENSE! Who's gonna get who?

Beck lovers thought they had scored a few points, but the Beck critics were really just playing them. The Bush has been invoked and it has been pondered if we have anything better to do. It's been a busy thread so far.

What will the thread's endgame reveal?

Will the Beck lovers come back with a super gotcha or resort to some stronger, more direct insult tactics. Will Beck critics reveal video of Beck's most looney moments in a sheer fit of 'we told you so? Will anyone drop an O-bomb(a)?(NO, PLEEESE!)

I guess we'll just hafta wait and see. And now a word form our sponsorers....

Re: Glenn Beck gets hoisted by his own petard?
 

No sponsers on Glenn's show, they all bailed when he said the president was racist. :(

Re: Glenn Beck gets hoisted by his own petard?
 

Oooh, sneaky! is taht a subtle O-Bomb? Pre-emptive strike eh.... V. sneaky! :D

BTW it's The President. ;)

Re: Glenn Beck gets hoisted by his own petard?
 

WOW Machinehead and SpiritWarrior are you two going to stand for Chewwie calling you Beck lovers? After all you two CALLED and agreed with using the word idiot to describe other humans with whom you disagree.... and everybody knows only beck lovers and conserative republicans call names.... shame shame shame chewwie for insulting Machinehead and SpiritWarrior.. Here I thunked you liberals were all tolerant and wanted diversity....Oh well looks like that is all talk... and talk is cheap.

Re: Glenn Beck gets hoisted by his own petard?
 

I'm neither a left or right wing nutjob, idiot though - open for debate :D , so your thunking is a bit skewed.

Re: Glenn Beck gets hoisted by his own petard?
 

It's fun being dismissed with the usual insults about liberal's intelligence considering I'm mostly libertarian....like Glenn Beck. ;)

Re: Glenn Beck gets hoisted by his own petard?
 

QFT! I was curious as to what would happen when the shoe was on the other foot, hence my carefully worded 1st post. ;) I have my answer now and it was what I expected.

Re: Glenn Beck gets hoisted by his own petard?
 

Hmmm that's fairly sly for a suspected idiot MH! :)

Re: Glenn Beck gets hoisted by his own petard?
 

Interesting thing about Beck claiming to be a libertarian. I have yet to hear him chime support for an issue with recent momentum and publicity concerning individual freedom- Same Sex marriage. So I doubt his true libertarianism. True libertarians are lambasting the voters of places like Maine, California, and others for denying happiness and freedom. He is certainly in a prominent place to do so. So have I just missed his strong and provocative stance on this issue because I'm not a loyal viewer or is Beck a fake libertarian?

Re: Glenn Beck gets hoisted by his own petard?
 

Ok, lrn 2 troll better.

Re: Glenn Beck gets hoisted by his own petard?
 

Yeah, it is funny that a proponent of individual liberty is in favor of letting the PEOPLE decide whether or not to have gay marriage, fun fact, in EVERY state where it's been a choice for the PEOPLE, rather than legislated from on high by representatives who "know better than the sheep" or judges who don't have to be elected, the PEOPLE have refused gay marriage, each and every time. Now why would a LIBERTARIAN favor letting the PEOPLE decide if it's right for them or not. BTW since blacks overwhelmingly supported Prop 8 I've heard and read numerous reports of anti-prop8 meetings looking and sounding more like KKK meetings.

That's that liberal love and acceptance of all for you. Right up until you disagree. kind of like in this topic... funny that.

Yeah, you know, that was also organized by Van Jones, who was quietly fired from the White House when it was revealed that he is a card carrying communist (not socialist like the rest of the presidents cabinet/czars). Van Jones was surprise surprise surprise immediately hired by the Soros fund, just like every other Obammy flunky that gets uncovered and fired/retired/quit.

Re: Glenn Beck gets hoisted by his own petard?
 

Also, I don't really see how that was an insult but :rolleyes:

Re: Glenn Beck gets hoisted by his own petard?
 

Oh the rapier wit, I believe I have been cut to the quick... opps sorry that was just gas.

Re: Glenn Beck gets hoisted by his own petard?
 

Or the soft sobbing of Glenn, lol.

Re: Glenn Beck gets hoisted by his own petard?
 

What a rant LOL and yet more insults and insinuations. Anyway I reject the tyranny of the majority and every other way inequality and prejudice is justified.

I know in the long run The People will do the right thing and those laws will be repealed. No worries here.

Re: Glenn Beck gets hoisted by his own petard?
 

While he is calling out and praying for al queda to attack America so we can all get a "wake up call".

Re: Glenn Beck gets hoisted by his own petard?
 

You know it bothers me that this sounds alot like disdain for The Constitution of The United States of America, with our 3 Branches of government in favor of what amounts to basic unchecked mob rule. I hope not.

Or would it be King-President Beck leading his flock to the fabled promised land of no government?

Re: Glenn Beck gets hoisted by his own petard?
 

You know, there is a difference between state and federal government and the rights and duties assigned to each by the constitution, there's even a difference in individual states how sweeping change is to be done procedurally. Funny, isn't it. It's like the US is a giant confederation of individual countries or states, each with their own laws and government working together under an overarching document that regulates how they interact with each other. Who'd have thought... :rolleyes:

Re: Glenn Beck gets hoisted by his own petard?
 

Uh, did I step into a Harry Turtledove novel?
*quick check of the link below* Whew-No.

So sry to tell you, but the confederates...uh.... lost the war, eh.

Re: Glenn Beck gets hoisted by his own petard?
 

Wow, so you're stupid AND ugly.

Re: Glenn Beck gets hoisted by his own petard?
 

*shrugs* I take offense at pretty much everything that looks like it has the fingerprints of "Anonymous" on it, up to and including their assault on Scientology, which is probably the ONLY worthwhile thing they've ever done.

Re: Glenn Beck gets hoisted by his own petard?
 

So I'm curious, what business is it of anyone who somebody else wants to marry? How do these items get put up for a vote? Do "The People" just go to the polls and write it in, or do cowardly politicians add it to a ballot to save their cash cows, er, jobs? As a card carrying hetero, I don't really care who gay people marry. I'm more concerned with couples that can actually reproduce.
