Glenn Beck gets hoisted by his own petard?

Talk show host and one-man media empire Glenn Beck has lost his bid to shut down the glennbeckrapedandmurderedayounggirlin1990.com domain name.

My fave part, the rub-in:

After winning the WIPO dispute, Eiland-Hall decided to poke the beehive one last time. He issued a public letter (PDF) to Glenn Beck which opens by noting that "I have prevailed in the WIPO action that you filed against me. I write now to voluntarily relinquish the disputed domain to you, even though you did not win the case." The letter goes on to critique Beck's willingness to "pander to the fears and insecurities of your audience," the fact that he "denigrated the letter of First Amendment law," and the way his lawyers attracted even more attention to the site by filing the WIPO complaint. The letter ends by providing the domain username and password to Beck's lawyers, and the domain name is currently dead.

Ouch, Oh SNAP! NO!

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? Or is it all the lawyers fault? Maybe Glenn Beck orchestrated this all to prove how much people hate him. ( 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.

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.

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.

LinkY, with Beck being a good sport about it-

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?

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
