As Heard on Beck Radio: Wait Until You Read that Poem By One of Those Punished for Benghazi Lapses

Politics

Why Did Glenn ‘Endorse’ a Calif. Democrat for Congress on Radio?

May. 16, 2011 4:38pm Jonathon M. Seidl

After we posted a video last week showing an almost unbelievable ad by congressional candidate Dan Adler, Glenn couldn’t resist talking about it on radio. He delivered a heavily sarcastic retort, mocking it for being racist since it featured an Asian woman saying people should vote for Adler because he’s Jewish. Apparently, Adler didn’t get the joke, and on Sunday his campaign released a statement claiming Beck had officially “endorsed” Adler for Congress.

You don’t think Glenn could let that go, do you? He didn’t. And on radio Monday he recorded a few “endorsement” messages for the Adler campaign.

First, a little recap. Here’s the original Adler ad that started it all:

Now, here’s Glenn’s initial reaction:

Somehow, from that the Adler campaign came up with this:

Conservative TV and radio personality Glenn Beck has endorsed Democrat Dan Adler in the California 36^th Congressional District special election, taking place this Tuesday, May 17th.

During his Friday radio show, Beck spent several minutes dissecting the Adler campaign’s television ads and online videos, calling Adler’s ads “amazing” and “tremendous.”

The show paid particular attention to the Adler ads with the theme “Send a Mensch to Congress.” A Beck sidekick said of one of those ads, entitled “Stick Together,” that “this is a great ad!” See the ads–as well as videos describing what a Mensch is–here: Adler2011.com.

“Being Glenn Beck’s endorsed candidate in the race is an odd position for a Democrat, but I do understand his preference for someone from the private sector rather than one of the three Democratic professional politicians who are running. And since a Democrat is ultimately going to win the seat, there is a strange logic to it, I guess,” said Adler.

Glenn caught wind of Adler trumpeting his “endorsement.” Here’s what he had to say (via Glennbeck.com):

“It doesn’t make any sense for a progressive to want my endorsement. So, today I heartily endorse — what’s his name? — Dan Adler. I want the voters in California to know that we are practically brothers of the brain,” Glenn said.

“We are so like minded, he has the same positions on almost everything, although he’s not coming out and saying those things.”

“We both believe that the rich are paying far too much. Pay their fair share? They pay more than their fair share. They deserve a tax break,” Glenn declared in his support for he and Adler’s shared stance.

How will the Adler campaign spin this one?

In CONTROL, Glenn Beck presents a passionate, fact-based case for guns that reveals why gun control isn’t really about controlling guns at all; it’s about controlling us. Find out more HERE.

As we all know, Glenn was mocking the guy! What better way than through satire. He was having some fun!

Glenn didn’t endorse the guy by any stretch of the imagination.

As my husband says sarcasm NEVER reads well.. which is WHY some can’t figure it out.. and think Glenn is serious.. maybe the blaze can put sarcasm in ( ) before something sarcastic is put in print..LOL. it’s sad they missed it and the JOKE.. but there were a few comments about Obama and Osama and Mormon and Moron.. that were really good..

This rally planned this year in the middle of the summer of rage.Has got to have the left pulling their hair out. You guys on the left got to find a new line of work. This is not making it.The money spent is not showing a good rate of return.So Steelnut,Icebrain,poverty in public and the rest of you want to find a real job. stop.Think of all the cash you could be making doing a real and caring employment,like working a McD’s. Your boss(obama) say it is a good place to work.I am so sorry! I forgot that what he says now.in 2008 he said you where a low life if you worked fast food. Wow! Thing have changed. Who would have known. 10% unemployment.banks fall as far as the eye can see. A 45% approval rate.Yes sir! Things have changed. To the Leftie”s,one word(losers)2012

Why is that “Korean” woman screaming that she is Korean? The last time I checked, only American citizens were supposed to vote in American elections – if she is Korean, she would have to return to Korea to vote, right?

  for being racist since it featured an Asian woman saying people should vote for Adler because he’s Jewish.

  And it exploited a stereotypical caricature of Koreans, that they run drycleaning stores
  ( just like Vietnamese run nail salons and Indians run 7-11s) …in bad taste but very leftwing

Patty Henry, your comment would make sense if Glenn were truly endorsing this guy. But it’s obvious that Glenn thinks they are polar opposites in what they each believe and his endorsement is clearly Parody.

  Obviously you don’t know sarcasm and parody when you see it.
  I agree with Beck and I get his sarcasm back at this idiot. In my post, remove the M and there is a big difference, just like between Beck and Adler.
  I have no doubt, such as when I listened to Beck say it the first day, Adler is a dufus and Beck was clearly pointing that out.
  
  Lucky, don’t jump to conclusions and don’t call people names. Golden rule son.

  Those of you who think this was in any way serious on Beck’s part – I take it you don’t listen to his radio show, you don’t subscribe to his email newsletter, you stop listening after the first half of a sentence and you’re as much idiots as Adler is. Beck, Pat and Stu were tearing this idiot Adler apart for this ad, which was horrifically racist and condescending. Glenn’s follow-on “endorsement” was pure sarcasm. I’m taking it on faith that you know what sarcasm is.

  I looked at Mr Adler’s website and his ads. I belive he is the perfect candidate for California 36. I think that is why Glenn endorsed him. All of you in California should pass this on to your friends, especially any in Cali 36. Glenn has endorsed Dan Adler for congress…vote for Dan Adler Cali 36.

  I’m guessing the several people on here isn’t smart enough to know sarcasm when they see it! Glenn was being sarcastic the whole time and then when he “endorsed” Adler it was because as Adler said that a demoncrat will ultimately win that election. Glenn said that he and Adler think alike (like two hard core conservatives), that would sit Adler down real quick because how many of those California liberals would vote for anyone, even a demoncrat if they believed that rich people are paying too much and need to pay less? If anyone goes by Glenn’s endorsement then Adler will totally lose the election. DUH

  Didn’t care too much for the commercial, but come on, all politicians go appeal to minority groups. Bush was elected partly because he courted the Mexican American vote.
  
  And politicians openly declare their Christianity (even guys like John Ensign and Newt Gingrich who preach one thing and live another) to get the Christian vote, and support policies that overwhelmingly support rich white folks, while throwing up barriers that prevent the young or minorities from being allowed to vote (groups which vote Democratic) and demanding the removal of funding for social programs that mostly support the efforts of poor minorities, people no lazier than you or I who only want to the American dream.
  
  So, yeah, a little over the top seeking the Asian and Jewish minorities, but at least he is living and supporting diversity. Maybe you guys think “diversity” is a bad word, but if you do, wait around another 10 years. We’re becoming a more diverse country, something you know, and many people fear. And a few people are making a living appealing to that fear.
