I mean can't you understand that they are getting 7 digit salaries to act like a complete asshole? Wouldn't you do that if were offered that kind of money?
No. That's why I work 60+ hour weeks teaching for a salary that's <30k a year. Because I'm not a whore.

Well you are obviously not a "business man", money is everything. And yes, that whole "It's just business" line bugs the hell out of me...let's people justify a lot of clearly wrong behavior sometimes even legally wrong.

Someone who was actually there wrote into NY Mag to give their account of the situation: http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2011/06/new_yorkers_turned_on_glenn_be.ht

I'm inclined to believe the writer. Glenn Beck has a history of making mountains out of molehills. Or just straight up inventing bullshit.


I believe her too. I believe her simply because her story seems much more realistic. And in my opinion, the people who write-in to newspapers are not the kind of people who dump wine on people they dont like.

I did think the comment at the top of the NY comments was funny though:

"Another liberal liar. And hypocrite. This includes the rest of the elite, arrogant, mindless apologists who make it sound like this ignorant woman purposely throwing wine on someone is no big deal. Your hatred has consumed you into that which you hate. She is lying so quit making excuses or downplaying the incident. Everyone knows that if this happened to Maddow or Olbermann, you would be spewing hatred against the wine throwers, probably calling for their death while using terms like racist and homophobe. And of course you like to hang out at these liberal websites which support liars and have no qualms about printing lies as long as it is against someone you hate."

Totally agree. I'd feel total sympathy for Beck if he'd acknowledge his actions have helped to cause this kind of behavior, and now he understands the error of his ways.

If what he's saying is true, the people around him are just as bad as he is, but he needs to also accept responsibility and change his ways. But oh no, that's not gonna happen. Let's play the sympathy card, and demonize these heathens for what they did, so he can be justified for continuing the same vitriol he's been spewing for years.

Despicable...

He's a paid personality, a mouthpiece of punditry. His entire profession is specifically designed to get people riled up and divisive and angrily point the finger at the other guy...
...who is upset at the resultant divisiveness and people angrily pointing fingers at the other guy.

Agreed. It was a bit too on-the-nose. >> ^xxovercastxx:

"We hate Republicans" doesn't sound like something a drunk New Yorker would yell at anyone. I would expect either something more intelligent or thought-out; or something far more crude, crazy and offensive. Also, despite being a 'blue state', there are shitloads of conservatives and Republicans in NY.
"We hate Republicans" is just way too... medium. That's not how we do shit in NY.

He's referring to "manmade" global warming, which is socialist BS theory.


FYI: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism

Also: "Global warming is the current rise in the average temperature of Earth's oceans and atmosphere and its projected continuation. The scientific consensus is that global warming is occurring and was initiated by human activities, especially those that increase concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as deforestation and burning of fossil fuels.[2][3] This finding is recognized by the national science academies of all the major industrialized countries and is not rejected by any scientific body of national or international standing."

The 2001 joint statement was signed by the national academies of science of Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, the Caribbean, the People's Republic of China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Malaysia, New Zealand, Sweden, and the UK. The 2005 statement added Japan, Russia, and the U.S. The 2007 statement added Mexico and South Africa. The Network of African Science Academies, and the Polish Academy of Sciences have issued separate statements. Professional scientific societies include American Astronomical Society, American Chemical Society, American Geophysical Union, American Institute of Physics, American Meteorological Society, American Physical Society, American Quaternary Association, Australian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society, Canadian Foundation for Climate and Atmospheric Sciences, Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society, European Academy of Sciences and Arts, European Geosciences Union, European Science Foundation, Geological Society of America, Geological Society of Australia, Geological Society of London-Stratigraphy Commission, InterAcademy Council, International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics, International Union for Quaternary Research, National Association of Geoscience Teachers, National Research Council (US), Royal Meteorological Society, and World Meteorological Organization.

Not only does the political system of common ownership of all means of production not have anything to do with global warming whatsoever; but it is internationally recognised as man-made or at least strongly man-enhanced. I know that talking to ideologues like you doesn't do anything, because ideologies are just like secularised religions, but if i don't vent my frustration, I'd only carry it around.

Also Glenn Beck thinks Obama is a secret Non-American Muslim Fascist Communist that wants to legalize forced abortion and kill all of our grandparents.
