Donny Deutsch: Glenn Beck A 'Despicable Putz'
On Morning Joe today, ad man Donny Deutsch called Glenn Beck a "despicable putz." For good measure, Deutsch also described Beck as "a disgusting human being."
Deutsch was reacting to a clip of Beck from yesterday confirming that he was indeed leaving his Fox News show.
Deutsch was clearly proud of his epithet, regretting that Pat Buchanan didn't respond to it in his subsequent comments.

Although "putz" might have a light-hearted lilt to some, its literal Yiddish meaning is quite strong, something that Queens-born Deutsch surely knows.
WILLIE GEIST: He made it official, yesterday, on his show.
GLENN BECK: I want to verify something that is true. I am going to leave this show later this year. Paul Revere did not get up on his horse and say, I'm going to do this for the rest of my life. He didn't do it. He got off the horse at some point and fought in the Revolution, and then went back to silver-smithing. I have other things to do, and not because it's good or bad for business. But I think you, out of all the people, will truly get this: our only business is the business of freedom and our country at this time.
DONNY DEUTSCH: What a despicable putz.
WILLIE GEIST: Wow. Why do you say that? Because he's going back to silver-smithing?
DEUTSCH: What a disgusting human being.
GEIST: For a dissenting opinion, let's go to Pat Buchanan. Pat, what do you think about the departure of Glenn Beck?
Palpably proud of his vulgarity, Donny was definitely disappointed when Pat Buchanan didn't deign to dignify it with a response.
PAT BUCHANAN: One if by land and two if by sea!
DEUTSCH: You let "despicable putz" go by, you didn't--that's a "d.p.", that's a new one.

But who is Donny Deutsch?
ever notice

that nobodies denigrate people of note and never support their insults with anything but, "you can believe this because I said so"?
Couric torpedoes the CBS news and leaves and she's exploring new issues. Lauer leaves Today with Viera and they are a success. Olberdouche gets canned AGAIN and he's moving on...(to obscurity), Air America implodes even after stealing money from a charity and it's still the 2 watt beacon of liberal radio but Beck who is kicking all other cable shows butts, even with the recent ebb in the ratings ,is a failure. Deutsch is a douche.
Donny's one of those

Donny's one of those predictable Liberals you can trot out, stand him under a light, say the word, "Republican" and he'll scream "BAD!".
Now go put Donny away until you need him again.
Who cares what comrade

Who cares what comrade Deutsch-bag thinks about anything?
Did his anatomically-correct Obama blow-up doll spring a leak or something?

I, who am from the "fly over country" know what putz means. Beck is no putz. Beck is that pebble in the shoe for liberals, he is there and it bugs them.
Where is the main event?

I saw this, didn't think much - just another jealous-as-hell MSNBC'r.
I watched the 0600 hour beginning and the 0700 hour beginning where they replayed the segment - the interview with Donald Trump! Trump pulled no punches and AMAZING how Mr. Deutsch is Miss Pantywaist when it comes to directly confronting Mr. Trump when he's directly interviewing him, but all kinds of nasty when Trump hangs up the phone.
"Oh this birther stuff!" the panel says over and over and over once he's off the phone. Well, where is the certificate? And then 45 minutes later a Nation Magazine guy comes on to talk about the Libya War and naturally starts with: "You know the birth certificate thing? SO CRAZY!"
Trump is right that he may be uncovering the biggest political/media collaboration fraud in recent history.
MSNBC was lying last night about Beck's new FOX role
Submitted by Red Jeep on Thu, 04/07/2011 - 9:25am.
David Brock on Tingles show and Lawrence O'Donnell were all crowing about Beck show being terminated, losing a million viewers, losing radio audience etc.
They were really blatant and I hope someone calls them out on their lies.
So it is no surprise that the glee fest continued on MSNBC this AM.
No Cred
Submitted by Cactus Kurt on Thu, 04/07/2011 - 9:35am.
Donnie Deutsch has no cred. He's never done anything of any significance. He was born with a silver spoon up his ass. Daddy set him up. Basically, a trust fund baby. Glen Beck, on the other hand, is a very successful TV/radio host and a best-selling author. Like him or not, Glen Beck actually earned his money.
Actually "despicable putz"

Actually "despicable putz" and "disgusting human being" coming from Donnie Deutsch is an apt description of himself. Look in the mirror, Donnie and see a true "despicable putz" and "disgusting human being" looking back at you.

I'm no fan of Beck (I think he's sort of a clown), but seeing who his enemies are, he must be one of The Good Guys

do not consider myself a "fan" of Beck. I do think he has done some good work, e.g. exposing Van Jones, George Soros, the SEIU/AFL/CIO/ISO commingling. On the other hand, some of the stuff he says and does gives me the creeps.
Unfortunately, he is not leaving radio, too. I was hoping that Mike Church would get his old time slot back on Sirius/XM.
Re: Donnie Douche
Donnie, you're a menuvel.
I don't like Glenn Beck's
Submitted by marpel on Thu, 04/07/2011 - 9:59am.
I don't like Glenn Beck's style and his emoting, but I do agree with him most of the time. Donny's comments were the first things I heard this morning, and all I could think of is how much of a despicable person Deutsch is...he's the putz. Unfortunate that the only gigs Donny can pull off is MSNBC, whereas Beck has his own production company and an audience that is enormous...whatever, Donny...

The "Liberals"
Submitted by iveseenitall on Thu, 04/07/2011 - 11:05am.
Once again we witness what kind,loving, tolerant, articulate people "liberals" are. PUKE! BTW, Isn't this the same Deutsch who, with his buddies, ganged up on Bernie Goldberg and his first book (without even having read it)? PUKE! [NEVER,NEVER trust a "liberal" (progressive)]
Yes, I saw that...
Submitted by Fenwick on Thu, 04/07/2011 - 11:11am.
It was a few years ago now, I think - and it was the first and only time I ever watched Donny. All the while I kept thinking, "Who IS this guy and how does he warrant a paycheck when he gathers a panel to talk to an author (Goldberg) about his newly-released book, but neither he nor anyone on his panel have even bothered to READ the book?!?!?" What a waste of air time it was - and what a waste of human flesh Deutsch is!
Now that's entertainment!

Donny calling someone a "disgusting human being".Now that's funny, I guess a turd doesn't really know it's a turd, either. You just can't make this stuff up.

Really! How many of us would not quit our jobs if we had the money? Beck lost me as a fan, but I consider the fact that he did some good work in the past and he is entitled to speak his mind, just like we are. We just don't get paid for it. This Deutsch dude needs to focus on his 'love doctor' website and quit giving his opinion about anything that does not include the love of his life "himself". Remember the saying "the lights are on, but the apartment is empty"...

The Last Laugh
Submitted by Bill Brasky on Thu, 04/07/2011 - 2:59pm.
There is a lot of irrational Beck hate out there in the liberal media. They never give any specific examples of his supposedly hate filled rhetoric except for the one comment about Obama being racist (which he apologized for 100 times). Why don't they ever complain about the real hate and lies that are on MSNBC every day? I agree with the comment posted above that when you see Becks enemies, you know he must be one of the good guys. Bottom line is the bed wetters can gloat now, but Beck will be an even larger, more influential presence after he finishes the Fox News show. And that will drive the liberal loons crazy.
