Glenn Beck Savaged On 'The View' - HuffPo Cheers Without Analysis


**UPDATED WITH VIDEO**

 Glenn Beck was on “The View” today.  Predictably, the conservative talk-show host was attacked by Whoopi Goldberg, as a “lying sack of dog mess.” (Video embedded on the right.)

That, however, is not the only bias to come of this.  Huffington Post political reporter Jason Linkins throws out the red meat for the Web’s left-wing wolves, naturally ignoring the straw man fouling up the Viewettes’ argument.

About what was Beck accused of lying?  Beck, on a recent radio program, recounted a tale of meeting Goldberg and Barbara Walters on an Amtrak train bound for Washington D.C.  Finding seats was apparently difficult on that day (odd, for Amtrak), and upon finding a few open seats, Beck was told by an Amtrak official that those open seats were reserved.  A few minutes later, Beck says, Goldberg and Walters walked onto the train, and sat down in the reserved seats.

Story Continues Below Ad ↓

Beck then says that Walters spoke to him as the train was leaving the station in New York.  Apparently, Beck was mistaken; the Viewettes were quite adamant in claiming that Beck spoke to them first – Goldberg going so far as to call Beck “a lying sack of dog mess.”  That amount of outrage for something so insignificant is akin to the cranky reaction of a grade-schooler who missed her afternoon nap.

The problem with the attack from the View women is this:  Beck is being savaged over a miniscule difference in memories – none of which can be challenged.  Furthermore, not a single Viewette challenged the notion that Amtrak broke with their normal first-come, first-served seating policy.  Beck wasn’t lying about that, apparently.

Then Walters attacks Beck for claiming to be a reporter while failing to check his facts.  The problem is, Beck immediately denied being a reporter – and Walters breezes past the denial as if it had not happened.  If Walters had hoped to provide an example for Beck, she failed at the first opportunity.

The HuffPo, of course, missed all of this like a Baba Booey ceremonial pitch.  The video used by “The View” clearly disabuses a sharp viewer of the notion that Beck was guilty of anything more than a terrible impression of both Goldberg and Walters – for which he gave a pre-emptive apology.  And none of this, not a shred, was critically analyzed by the giddily cheering HuffPo reporter.

Lying sack of dog mess?

Interesting those words should come out of the mouth of Whoopi Goldberg.  I would say that phrase more accurately describes her to a T.  Why would Beck even bother to go on that ridiculous show?  I hope he got his pound of flesh back from those liberal losers.

O'Reilly Does the View

O'reilly handles himself quite well on the View. He does so by physically and verbally dominating the four women.   The view epitomizes everything that is wrong with a click of chicks.

Why would Beck even bother

Why would Beck even bother to go on that ridiculous show?

Why would anyone other than a raving libtard go on that show?

Too hilarious

You just have to wonder what's rattling around inside these peoples' heads. Clearly, Woowoo and Wawa think Mr. Beck was trying to pull a fast one in saying that Wawa spoke to him first. I just wish I could be there with Woowoo inside her echo chamber to hear what dastardly conclusions she draws from that.

Because nobody, NOBODY,

Because nobody, NOBODY, speaks to babawawa without being spoken to FIRST!

Some facts are missing

We don't have commuter trains here so is that what this was? Because I've ridden Amtrak, not commuter though, and the seats were most certainly reserved. People have to realize when they write articles that there are those of us that want nothing to do with the big (usually liberal) cities. (never been in a subway or taxi, although our town does have a small taxi service, if you don't mind waiting 2 hours for them to arrive)

The View

"The View" is a piece of crap TV lib-fest that Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin and others have never lowered themselves to do and any Conservative who treads there deserves what they get.   Even people I like such as Beck.

 

Looking forward to Glenn Beck on Bill Maher's HBO show this week-end. /sarc

The View is Not Credible

Why do men like O'Reilly and Beck go on that stupid show?  Doing so only gives those harpies undeserved credibility.

Same here

JJ - Expressed my sentiments exactly.

Glenn goes out of his way

Glenn goes out of his way to meet the other side, because his point
is…its not left or right, its right and wrong…and so he tries to see
everyone as Americans.

He was ambushed, any normal person hearing Glenn on the radio would
know he is telling the story with tongue in cheek, in good fun. The
coven doesn’t have a sense of humor. Glenn is the first to admit he is
a radio clown.
He uses a worse voice over for his wife. He is absolutely ruthless with
his friend Stew. Thats his mojo. Can’t say the same for Whoopi, who
gives glares because she doesn’t like the person’s politics.

They thrive on sensationalism

CV - I'm a big Beck fan, so I know where he comes from.  But, as you later said, it's the characters on the "coffee talk on steroids" show that don't deserve the legitimacy of having a class person like Glenn walk on their self-delusional stage.

Obviously there's an audience for that crap, kinda like the Jerry Springer crowd, et al.  I just think Glenn is above this.

I think he agreed to it not

I think he agreed to it not for the Coven's benefit, but for the audience.  Granted most of the people who watch that show religiously can't think...but who knows it may convert a few.

If anything it exposes the Coven to be the crows they are.

In the immortal words of

ABout time

Beck is an illiterate fool.  Im not sure what is going on with Fox lately.  They have had some smarmy characters on.  They have had Alex Jones and his conspiracy nuts, some folks that are very right wing and could be related to some Aryan folks.

Dont like this on my network. 

They are rubbing elbows with some folks that just becaue they may be "conservative" thay are still bad to have on your network.  Hope they dont start bringing on some of the Vlams Belaang groups and try to pawm them off as European conservatives.

Hey mrbill... He is no

Hey mrbill...

He is no illiterate fool, I like Beck, a lot...as I do some others that have gone on the silly show...I just wished they wouldn't.

As mad or disappointed I may get at times with things that happen on Fox, I thank goodness at least we have them to go against the other leftist msm, and they aren't number one for no reason.

Doubling down on stupid is not a particularly good idea. ~Andrew Breitbart

Beck showed their

Beck showed their pettineess...of all the things they could debate, they nit-pick a non-issue.  They are small, narrowminded witches...The Coven is what the View should be called.  I especially loved how Whoopi glared because...she doesn't like his views.  Hmmmm, aren't you special Whoopi. 

Glenn is one of the good guys mrbill,  trust me on this one.

I have to disagree. Beck

I have to disagree. Beck lied on his show, and they rightly jumped him for it.

He lied to make the story seem more interesting, and to put the blame on Barbara Walters.

If a liberal lied like that, would you be knocing the conservative who called him on it?

I do have to say, though, that the HuffPo buy went off the rails with this:

But then Beck gets stumped by a question from Barbara: "What are your real convictions?"

His answer: "I believe in God. I believe in the founding of this
country. I believe George Washington, James Madison, Thomas Jefferson
were geniuses."

So there you have it. Glenn Beck really, really believes in God, the
names of some Presidents, and that the United States was founded,
somehow, at some point in the past.

Yeah, Jason, how utterly corny!

I didn't think it was physically possible, but this both sucks and blows.  -Bart Simpson

 

The you motherbelt

To be one of the few people to point out no matter how much those annoying hens keep interupting Beck, the main thing is Beck was dishonest about what happened and I am glad he at least admitted he misspoke

He had my vote

He was trying to get the

He was trying to get the Coven to move on...it wasn't all that sincere...it was more of a, can't believe we wasted 6 minutes on who said hi first...fine, soory for being a pile of dog poo...next

Lied...

and deserved being compared to a pile of dog mess?  He didn't lie, not the same way as "I didn't have sex with that woman".  He told a story, in his way. 

When he is on the radio, to him we are friends...and we listen to him talk story.  Its understood that when he uses his wife's voice...that isn't her real voice, or even necessarily what she said 100%.  Same with this train wreck.  The issue was who said hi first...lame, of all the things to pick a bone with someone, this was lame.

If a liberal lied like what?  You haven't proven that Beck lied.  Glenn never pretended to do a News Report of the meeting on the train.  Or you saying the Coven doesn't embellish a little as they tell stories?  

Whose the liar? Whoopi doesn't even use her real name!  Walters had an affair...and claimed to be an unbias reporter.

Which is it?

Well, mrbill, is FOX News a news channel or The Conservative Channel? You can't have it both ways. Either they're "fair and balanced" or they're partisan. If they're "fair and balanced," there's no reason to deny those who differ with you politically a hearing.

By your reasoning, FOX shouldn't have any left-wingers on, either.

(Incidentally, there's nothing conservative or right wing about racists. That's just a media slur. Right wingers are right wingers because of their opposition to centralized, consolidated government. Racists happen to be similarly opposed right now, but that's only because the federal government doesn't currently share and support their views. However, if the government were to turn racist overnight, only a fool would think the Aryans would waste one minute before embracing big government. Right-wingers on the other hand, would still be out here, heading up the DHS' list of bad guys. They're not part of us.)

Never watch it

I have never seen the show. I refuse to watch any show that is on broadcast TV, period. On cable, I don't watch any channel that is biased, so one can guess which news channel I watch (but they are getting to the point of being like the others on things).

I am in the process of dropping all the movie channels on cable, as I am tired of having nothing to watch. I don't know anyone who wants to watch Spike Lee's account of anything, or all the political junk on them. On HBO, I bet 40% of everything on is tied to something political or liberal. I will just save my money. Just like when I canceled the local paper after 35 years...they evidently don't need my money.

I hear ya' Joe

Remember the days when we had three, maybe four channels. No remote. Black and white. Great stuff! Today...not so much.

→ I remember

That was before we dumbed ourselves down to drool, gazing at such great productions as "Parking Wars" and "Flava of Love" and "Celebrity Rehab" and "Simple Life" and "Survivor" and . . .

I've been wondering...

... if sales of big screen TVs are meeting expectations, because there is nothing to watch.

I also wonder too if many people listen to TV like listening to a radio while doing other things. Don't need a big screen for that.

Beck, O'Reilly and McCain

...go on "The View" and get viciously attacked by Baba Wawa and Whoopi Goldberg, over trivial and imagined grievances.

Obama goes on "The View" and all Baba Wawa can do is say how badly she wants to get in on with him.

They should change the name of the show to "The Loony Lefty View, with a token Repub Hottie"

Glen Beck is not at sharp as I thought

Why would any rational thinker go on this lying sack of dog mess in the first
place?

One of the problems with "today's news people" is their insatiable desire for
more celebrity. O'reilly, Hannity, Beck, they all are too caught up in the show
biz aspect of their appearances.

Limbaugh is not into this . He is entertaining but in a totally different
way. Maybe it's the TV thing?

He is exposing himself to

He is exposing himself to people who think he has horns...and it allows the average person who isn't a brainwashed tool to see that he is indeed an ok guy, while at the same time it exposed the pettiness of the Coven.

Glenn Beck

Knows what he is doing, he played them like a fiddler.

I use to enjoy watching

I use to enjoy watching Columbo, who would defuse people's resistence by looking like a goof ball who didn't know what he was doing.  Glenn in many ways is Columbo...a "radio clown", who end the end uses humor and cleverness to make his point.

Loved Columbo...

...That was good TV!

Are you kidding?

Glen is going to have material for months out of that show! It was a smart move and will likely get him higher viewer numbers and that's what TVs all about.

Did he think they invited

Did he think they invited him on to play paddycake with them? I'm

surprised he didn't break down and cry.

→ Great goldbar

They did a whole segment on whether Glenn lied about their seats being reserved, and that's not paddycake?

No, that's "Let's not be friends with Glenn.  Tick tock, the game is locked"

Yes, goldbar.  That was paddycake from a group who knew nothing, wanted to know nothing, and had nothing, except the stereotypical mannerisms professional women avoid.

"I was fighting a war in Iraq!" - Nancy Lugosi

Four 'normal' women?

Why does anyone even watch this show anymore?  It used to be four 'normal' women sitting around clucking like chickens.  Trite and stupid, but at least I respected them for having more or less real people instead of stuffing the show with celebutards.

Now all the normal people are gone, and there's nothing left but the celebutards. (No offense Liz, but you're hardly everygal USA)  Honestly - Wawa Wawa - Oy Bear - Whoopi Deadcareer?  This is what they think passes for 'normal' people these days?

The liberal media has become a Star Wars cantena, filled with the most bizarre, wierd, perverted, biased and angry ALIENS you'll ever meet. 

They're anything but 'normal' and that's not a compliment.

There is no excuse for

There is no excuse for their behavior.  They were angry that Beck made fun of them on his show.  Yet they, particularly Behar, said horrific things about McCain, and yet expected him to come on and play nice.

They are so stupid.  The other day Behar said it shouldn't be "pro life" it should be "anti choice".  They make me ashamed to be a woman.

Good lord...why do they care

Good lord...why do they care about something so small? Whoopi must be mad about some part of this that we're not getting, like Beck imitating Whoopi, or characterizing them as elitists who get to break the rules and reserve seats on Amtrak.

Your guess is good as mine.They spent 6 minutes hammering him on this nonsense.It would of been nice to have them talk about hot topics instead of who said hello first or if the seats were reserved.

Glen Beck and the View

I betcha that O'Reilly talked him into it. He learned his lesson. They are stupid people. You can't talk to stupid people. It won't bother his show a bit...may have even helped him.

As some have noted, it will probably bring him even more

viewers.  And it definitely showed them off as the total saps that they are!

I have never and will never watch that show!  The clips I see here are more than enough to convince me of what a wise woman I am ;-)  I fail to even consider them 'women' - they are simply nasty, hate-filled people!   

But he certainly was harmed physically by the experience...he sounded horrible when he phoned in tonight.  Wishing him a speedy recovery!

Now I see the problem.

I had to watch the second half on the Huff-Po website ( I hate tainting my PC screen with that horrible site) in order discover the ephiphany.  Barbara asked glen what he believes in and he told her.  She didn't accept his answer and she asked him what he really believes in.  Did anyone catch that dumbfounded look he had when she did that?  It's hard for these women to comprehend someone who has simplistic common sense convictions.  Instead you have Barbara not accepting the answer, Joy mocking S. Palin, Elizabeth sitting there saying nothing, and Sherry telling him it's time to cry, all while Whoopie is glaring at the man.  These harpies are something else.

     Now, if you'll excuse me.  Watching anything remotely attatched to The View gives me the urge to self lobotomize.  Thanks to the fact that I also went to the Huff Post website, I just might do it.

Glenn appears on the View and comes...

down with something.  Let that be a lesson to all Conservatives and Libertarians who are contemplating going on that show.  RINOs should be okay as long as you criticize real Republicans.  If somebody had the effrontery to call me a "lying sack of dog mess", I don't think I'd be making a return appearance.  In fact, I'd need to be bailed out of jail for striking what some say passes for a woman.  David Letterman tried something similar with Rush Limbaugh and the gates of Hell will freeze over before he goes back on that show.  Jim Webster

why

does anyone who isn't a democrat bother to appear on that show?  They savaged McCain during the campaign, did Beck not know this?  Baba Wawa, Poopy Goldberg, and Joyless Joy, are just twisted old harpies.

I heard Beck and his

I heard Beck and his sidekick talk about going on the View the day before...they were talking about how nice the ladies were and that they didn't think they would be rude to him. I wanted to call in and ask them if they were serious. The View is nothing more than three lefty nitwits spewing their hatred for anything conservative. Who in their right mind would go on that show let alone watch it?

wow...

Apparently, Glenn Beck is a popular subject with you guys - either that or you REALLY hate the View.  Maybe both...

I personally am of the Andrew Breitbart school of thought - you have to engage these people on their territory.  You don't win wars without boots on the ground, taking territory from the enemy; in the same way, you don't win an argument with a liberal by NOT arguing with him.  Yes, it's like nailing Jell-O to a tree, I realize that.  But you can't win if you don't fight.  So that's why conservatives go on The View.  And God bless Hasselbeck, just for attempting to leaven the whole lump of them...

 Now, I would have a much different approach with the women of the View.  Since you know they're going to gang up on you, go in with a burn-the-ships mentality - guns blazing, intellectually mowing them down.  Go on the View for the specific reason of leaving a smoking crater where their arguments used to be, and DO NOT be nice about it.  Then, when they realize you won't be filibustered, they'll try to have a reasoned conversation with you - and you can be as calm and reasonable as you like.  O'Reilly does this reasonably well, which is why they like him.  Beck got hosed because he A.) Didn't really get why they were attacking him for such a ridiculously insignificant point of fact, and B.) Didn't fight back.

Ya gotta fight back, or they'll never respect ya.

Mike -- that's a

Mike -- that's a respectable view. I don't agree with it myself, but it's got some logic.

However -- what exactly did Beck achieve? Did he convice anyone of anything?

“I'm with you on a free press. It's the newspapers I can't stand.” Tom Stoppard, Night and Day, 1978

you can't

you can't fight back when you're arguing with a group of people whose idea of an arguing means harping on inconsequential minutia and keeping it there.  When they don't want to hit a topic - they're good at steering it everywhere else.  I've seen very few people break this groups filibuster.  Coulter and O'Reilly come to mind.  I don't watch this show unless I its on NB or my mother has it on.  I hate it to the depth of my being.  Its like these women never left Jr High School.

Beck, in general is a really nice guy and was already worse for wear with a flu virus (was out for the rest of that day and I think, this morning too.)

Well, examine the behavior of...

...a typical liberal.  They respond to passion, emotion - they LOVE Keith Olbermann, not because he's intellectually correct, but because he makes his erroneous arguments with emotional vigor.  So start by talking to them in their language - emotion - and blast away for the first part of the segment.  Then, when they think you're just like them (driven by emotion), they'll listen to you instead of attacking you.

It sounds simplistic, but it's what O'Reilly does, and with great effect.   Coulter does too, but more with abject disdain for liberals than O'Reilly.  Beck didn't achieve much this time around, other than to defend himself; but he's a View rookie, isn't he?  I think?  Give him another shot, and next time someone feed him a quadruple shot of espresso before he goes on the air.  (If for no other reason than to see if his head will snap off *grin*)

Why is it that the vulgar, shallow, clucking, and rude aspects of these females goes unnoticed but for a few bloggers here? These females give a bad name to women and act quite like the stereotypes that men have had of women. They are a disgrace. They clucked and clucked like idiots and never let Beck say one word in defense or explain himself.  This is not even good entertainment.

Barbara, Tito needs a tissue...not Beck

Did anyone else notice that when all else failed - i.e., Beck's pre-emptive apology for his impersonation of Wahh-Wahh; his refusal to buy into their hysteria; and his seeming disinterest in joining their little reindeer games - Wahh-Wahh started trying to patronize him by lowering her voice, speaking slowly, and talking to him as though she were trying to talk a crazy man off a ledge? Was she trying to elicit the tears she was once able to "draw out of her subjects" from days gone by? (I put that in quotes because it was usually the actors/actresses she interviewed who turned on their contrived waterworks..all the better to plug their upcoming gigs, my dear). She looked like a total imbecile at that point...I wonder how her daughter Jackie, who does work with at-risk populations in the psychiatric community, felt about her mother's ridiculous, stereotypical tone toward Beck?
