Discrimination? Beck Details ‘Subhuman’ Treatment He Received on American Airlines & in NYC This Weekend
UPDATE: See the response from American Airlines, below.
Over the Labor Day weekend, Glenn Beck traveled with his wife and children to New York City. What he likely thought would be a relaxing trip ended up offering him and his family a few, not-so-pleasant surprises.
Among them, Beck highlighted the horrific treatment he received at local restaurants and a troubling interaction he had with an American Airlines employee — an individual whom the radio host said treated him as though he were “subhuman.”
The incidents, he said, reminded him why he had left New York City. The examples, which were purportedly based upon Beck’s views on social and political issues, were disturbing. While at a barbecue restaurant, he said, “The look that I was given by those in charge at this restaurant was, ‘how dare you even come in here.’” But, the negative treatment he encountered didn’t end there.
“The next morning we had breakfast in the heart of the land of diversity,” Beck recalled. “I was openly mocked by the patrons, and my wife was begging to leave as she heard the wait staff and management gasp in horror that they actually had to serve me. Lunch was no different.”
Beck said that New York, though he believes it is “one of the greatest cities in America,” has become “a very vile and hateful place, if you happen to have a different opinion.” But, his problems didn’t end on the ground. During an American Airlines flight, the popular host encountered similar hostility.
“I want to personally thank American Airlines for bringing to my attention that they don’t mean ‘American Airlines — they mean ‘liberal American Airlines’ apparently,” Beck said, while discussing the incident.
Beck went on to provide his detailed exchange with a flight attendant who seemingly went out of his way to treat him with malice. While this man was purportedly kind to others on the flight, he barked “breakfast” at Beck and slammed a soda down on his tray (and those are only two examples).
“Never once did he look me in the eye. Never once did he offer a kind or even a neutral word to me,” Beck said. “I had service unlike I have never had ever before in my life, and I have had rude service before. I lived in New York City.”
Beck maintained that he had never experienced service that was “specifically designed to make me feel subhuman.” The host described how the attendant loudly told other passengers his life story — about how he was a former Israeli soldier and that he truly values the very liberal cities that exist in America. Clearly, these were details that were spouted as digs aimed at Beck.
Later, the host described how the man reacted when Beck thanked him for treating his children well, despite the flight attendant’s subpar treatment of Beck:
“While he treated me as a subhuman, he treated my children nicely. So as I was deplaning, as he was standing next to the pilot, I said to him, ‘I want to sincerely thank you for not treating my children the way you treated me.’ His response? ‘It was my pleasure. You deserved it.’ The pilot didn’t say anything, nor did the other passengers, but they probably didn’t know what was going on.”
Watch the video, below, to hear the entire story:
UPDATE: According to The Dallas Observer, American Airlines has responded to the incident. Spokesperson Matt Miller wrote the following message to the outlet:
“We are sorry for the experience Mr. Beck had on a recent flight. The comfort and satisfaction of our customers are very important priorities to us and we take these matters seriously. We have reached out to Mr. Beck’s office and are actively looking into the situation.”

Posted on September 4, 2012 at 12:54pmGlenn can shake it off!
The time for progressives and liberals of all stripes to honor themselves is drawing to a close.
The same folks who bit down on “Hope and Change” will send Mr. Obama back to Chicago to write his new book, “My Real Estate Deals with Convicted Felon Tony Rezko.” The intiial tome will be followed shortly by “Selling America to the Muslim Brotherhood.” The there’s “My Pal, Eric Holder, Never Let Them See You Sweat.”

Posted on September 4, 2012 at 1:23pmBeck said that New York, though he believes it is “one of the greatest cities in America,“ …
In all honesty, I’ve been there many times and I have to disagree. Anywhere you have a liberal majority you have social decay. That’s what you have in NY. I don’t like being there even though I used to think it’s a place everyone should visit. The older I get, the more I appreciate the rural Midwest and have absolutely zero desire to go to a crime infested, cesspool of liberalism. It’s just not for me. Besides when we eventually crash, you don’t want to be around millions of desperate entitlement morons.
But on to more depressing info …

HE is a hard working PATRIOT. YOUR CHILDISH Attendant just cost you a fortune!”
BECK lifts companies up, he lifts people up. HE builds. Anyone who would say otherwise is a liar.
This rudeness is selfish and stupid. That one guy cost AMERICAN AIRLINES thousands and thousands of dollars because I don’t know ANYONE who is interested in supporting any company who would tolerate rudeness…especially against someone who spends most of his life helping other.
You can look them up on line. Fire Away. Glenn and his family deserve better. The twit who was rude should be fired.

Do you listen to Glenn’s radio show? If not then I think you come here to persuade or mock. But if for some reason you listen to the radio show, you might have caught the time he went to Central Park at the behest of his daughter. Liberal New Yorkers made is attempt to catch a outdoor concert in Central Park with his daughter living hell. That was a bout 2 years ago. So it is not just one or 2 people. It isn’t all of the people, but there is a sufficient critical mass of liberal to make NYC much worse than it out to be.
Liberals gun for people all the time That is why you have to shout & fight back. Liberals are of the mindset that you can;t get a highschool diploma if you can read & write at the 12 grade level 7 can fo Algebra, trig & geometry. Oh no, one must believe the Holy of Holies in the liberal theology that gayness is genetic.
A kid in Sweden was flunked in biology because he didn’t believe gayness is natural. He could master all the other course material, but because he did not believe the teacher liberal theology he was flunked.

Posted on September 4, 2012 at 3:00pmSo sorry Glenn had to go through that yet again in the “greatest city on earth”! Yeah right. Not anymore. NYC is lost. That AA flight attendent was supposedly new to nation and enjoying our freedoms without hateful intolerance, but he turned around and treated Glenn with nothing but rabid hate. This former Israeli soldier apparently couldn’t hack it in Israel, quit and came here to spineless and rabidly hateful NYC. He enjoys our freedom and openly degrades another fellow American and is openly hostile while representing American Airlines in uniform. What a hateful *sshole. I don’t give a *amn where you come from. Liberals should be so proud. And I thought they were anti-bully. Glenn took it like a gentleman as always. If I was on that plane, I would have happily reminded him to keep his opinions to himself and learn some manners. This AA BULLY should be FIRED!!!

Since when is not wanting gay studies not in schools mocking gays. Since when is not wanting gay marriage mocking gays. If you can’t say that then you can;t have an opinion.
Mocking gays would be saying something about the Hershey highway, while true could be considered mocking in tone. A gay website was touting the fact that a manufacturing was making douching products specifically for anu$e$. Among the comments was one guy saying he had a brown ring around his thing at a health club that he quickly washed off after he heard a 3rd person enter the changing area. I can go back & fin d that comment. There was another comment from a proto-gay kid who hadn’t yet be brainwashed. He asked ‘Do you actually get sh_t on your thing.’ A guy replied sometimes it comes with the territory & to get over it.
So what is not true in what we say? What is there to celebrate with the gay lifestyle choice.
That you can solve blue ball disease more easily than a straight guy unless they or a 10 or a millionaire?
& with no consequences such a pregnancy except for the higher rate of STDs.
All previous societies could not survive the level of gayness that we have now & that gays want more of. Civilization would have fallen.

“…mocking and ridiculing about 95% of the world‘s population”? Surely you jest. There is not a survey devised in the world that can back that claim. And here you once said to me that you enjoy intelligent, factual discourse.
How does one equate “hating America” by “slamming an entire city based on what a couple of people said to him”? In addition, it is well noted by New Yorkers themselves of their “liberal” ideologies as a collective. And a semantic side note, I would say a “few” because there were more that a “couple” who were anti-social, and would use the word “treat” because that includes speech and non-verbal behavior.
”Go live in another country if you don’t love this one.” proves his point of behavior exhibited on “both sides” of the political discourse. At one time we could express different political perspectives and yet be socially civil with each other. Then again, if you’re right, where can he go if “95% of the world’s population” thinks the same way as you and New Yorkers?

Glenn was practically exiled out of NYC. He felt his safety and that of his family was more important. The zealot Left treated his family poorly at NYC outdoor PUBLIC events. He didn’t turn his back on NYC, New Yorkers turned their backs on Glenn Beck because he doesn’t fall in line with their “tolerant views” on everything. NYC’s loss,Texas’ gain. And if New Yorkers/AA don’t like flyover people, then they’d better close up shop because tourists make New York a lot of money and the airline industry is always faltering. People, make your vacation plans elsewhere like The Alamo. That is why Glenn moved here to Texas. The NYC hatefulness was not worth it. They’ll destroy themselves with their hate.

Here is the AA customer relations where you can send a little message on how you feel of Mr. Becks treatment. I certainly conveyed my opinion on it. “holding off on my decision on whether to fly AA pending the resolution of this matter” Minimum satisfaction, suspension of this employee although termination would be just fine also.

I have to switch planes in Phoenix and they had people waiting from a previous cancelled flight and let them all on and by the time i got on all the seats were taken and they push me off the plane and took off. I was standing on the ramp and my son was on the plane. I had no cell phone, no money on me and my luggage was on the plane. I had to wait 8 hours in the airport for another flight..my son did not know what happened to me and customer service would not call him for me. I’ll walk before i’ll ever get on a plane again. Especially now with the TSA and all…no way! The American Airlines planes i was on, all 4 of them were the filthiest planes i’d ever seen.

Posted on September 4, 2012 at 4:40pm@13TH IMAM — Naming the offending establishments won’t help. As there are more wacko liberals in NY than there are conservatives, all it would do is keep a few conservatives from visiting while sending a greater number of new liberal customers their way. It would amount to free advertising for those businesses, and Beck is right not to give themany help.

With the Democrat Party OFFICIALLY becoming the Communist Party (see other TheBlaze article “Dems Remove All References to ‘God’ From 2012 Party Platform”), the TARES of anti-God communism are being separated from the WHEAT of righteous America:
24 … a man who sowed good seed in his field;
25 but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way.
26 But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared.
27 So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’
28 He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants said to him, ‘Do you want us then to go and gather them up?’
29 But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them.
30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them …

Posted on September 4, 2012 at 5:01pmTruthfully,
it is a very weak commendation to express gratitude
to the slug
just because he treated the children “humanely”.
It hurts & deeply effects a child
to see some other person trash or be unkind & rude
to a parent, with no reason or logic.
Not sure how old Beck’s kids are
but even small children are disturbed to see such mean-spirited attacks,
directed at someone they dearly love.
A business of any kind only survives
because of their patronage.
Those evil employees need to be shown the door,
not for Beck’s sake….for their own.
They need to learn the Golden Rule & apply it evenly, across the board.
This wasn’t a case of Beck expressing his personal views.
He was pleasuring & feeding his family, flying from point A to point B.
If I were on a plane or in a business
& saw the staff zero in, on a particular target, in an abusive manner,
I would NOT have been able to keep my mouth shut.
I would pull the instigator to the side & politely tell him
that his job is to take care of all patrons & not make anyone’s life miserable.
Then, I would have followed up, by contacting a superior.
The only reason the world is mad is because of mean individuals-
collectively, snapping their liberal towel & tongue.
We all need to confront evil, on any level.
Go elsewhere, spend your money elsewhere-
if they don’t want to treat you humanely in their workspace,
there are lots of airlines & restaurants that gladly will.

Posted on September 4, 2012 at 5:10pmYou’re dealing with a double whammy here. A “chosen people” Israeli solder, who are liberals by default (George Soros, Barbara Streisand, Roseann Barr, Sean Penn, Jon Stewart, Karl Marx, Bill Maher, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, etc). Second the flight host was no doubt a mentally ill gay. Most waiters and flight attendants are gay. That’s how AIDS spread so fast in the 1980s. It was spread by a flight attendant who traveled the US spreading his disease in his polygamist gay relationships. So Mr. Beck, be careful going out to eat since most waiters are gay and many have AIDS and they may do something to your food. Also, think twice about your love affair with “chosen people” since 90% of them are flaming liberals (Marxists).

Posted on September 4, 2012 at 5:21pmIman,
Those restaurants certainly deserve to be boycotted. But shouldn’t we, as Americans, NOT do what typical liberals do when they protest – which is to not just go after an individual who speaks out contrary to their beliefs, but also any business they may own. As my father said, We must take the high road or we are no better. Frankly, this type of behavior just shows you the prejudice and intolerance the libs have for anyone who does not believe what they believe. It is, indeed, their most disgusting trait…..spouting off about how “accepting” libs are, while treating others who do not hold their beliefs, as “subhuman”. Romney/Ryan!

Millions will be murdered, after the big event, because they will have new-found morals and a stance for God that is ramrod straight. My goodness can you imagine the evidence that millions will have, having just witnessed the rapture. Those who are not duped will gain a strength of faith that will make you (Glenn) look like a lamb.

Posted on September 4, 2012 at 6:06pmGlenn: Two things came to my thoughts. FIRST: right out of high school I became a Junior Hostess at the Hollywood USO. Meeting service men from all over the country was interesting. I learned in those 2 years that I had no interest in ever getting to know anyone from NY nor a desire to ever visit there. Just wasn’t used to the crass, sarcastic type people these guys seemed to be.
I’ve had 2 chances to visit NY, but refused. SECOND: I have a relative who’s mother-in-law is a flight attendant for AA, based out of Dallas. Only met her twice, and didn’t like her either time.
She was born & bred Liberal and and made sure we knew it. Her attitude was so caustic and she was pushy as heck. (reminded me of someone from NY) I couldn’t stand being around her. She did supply free flights to her son and my relative even before they married 5 years later and they traveled all over all the time, free, thanks to AA. I always thought free flights was for relatives, and though it
was cheating, but that’s AA’s business.
She’s not a typical Texan (if she is) cause I love Texans and hope I can move there someday.

Posted on September 4, 2012 at 6:23pmGlenn, consider yourself fortunate that you’re back in Texas alive and well. NYC is a dumpand a breeding ground for liberals of every type!
When I was living in Queens and working as a supervisor over Terminal 4 at JFK I was assigned about 80 people from NYC as workers. I have supervised personnel in the military and for the government in different capacities. Those 80 people from NYC were without question dumber than a box of rocks. It was like herding cats to get them to function and follow simple instructions. All they wanted was a paycheck but they didn’t want to lift a finger to work for it. Don’t even get me started on the sense of entitlement those folks had. Holy smokes!
NYC has it’s good points but you couldn’t pay me enough to go back to that pit and do anything. There’s nothing like the Rocky Mountain West – like minded folks – Constitutionally-based, Christian folks that get it.

Posted on September 4, 2012 at 6:52pm@KATHLEENLEE: To Encinoschmuck “I wonder how you would act, if a restaurant and their staff, and an airline steward treated you and your family this way. You would be just as outraged”
The left invented this kind of treatment, when they use to make blacks go to the back of the bus in the south and other parts of the country; when they use to make guest appearances in white robes, to the homes and businsses of people of race, catholics and all those they hated, looting pillaging, burning and killing. And how they treated american indians in the the early 1900s. The only thing that’s changed is the nuance. They still beat up blacks and go after christians. The left is a bunch of sour, mean, cold hearted, nasty people and Encinom is no different. In fact if you don’t believe in his brand of lies you’re the lier not him. If you aren’t on the liberal/progressive plantation which he supports, he has a special despensation, awarded by himself, to use racist homophobe commentary and if necessary sanctions physical force to get those whom have strayed to shut up or realign themselves. Of course he’ not racist. He comes to the blaze to intimidate and redicule the non believers. Worst of all he’s an accomplice to murder. There is nothing worse than Liberal hypocracy. They think their proverbial and actual crap doesn’t stink. In short, to put it bluntly, they are criminally insane.

Posted on September 4, 2012 at 7:25pmFunny you are, Glenn. Instead of being proud that your job is so successful, so effective that it makes your (read: OUR) enemies to take off their masks, you are so upset.
Why are you upset? That your (read: OUR) enemies treat you as an enemy? Yes, enemies don’t have to love each other. You remember? Americans even killed each other, killed in a great number. Doesn’t the expression “Civil War” ring the bell?
So, why on earth do you think that Lefties who are by definition mentally impaired (everybody who believes in Communism, à la Obama, are mentally ill) should treat you as their ally?
“You deserved it” and you should be proud of it.
Thank you, Glenn. I not always agree with you, but I am in a Conservative, anti-Communist pro-American camp. They ARE our enemies. Just don’t be Neville Chamberlain.

Posted on September 4, 2012 at 7:35pmIt’s not just NYC. I’m from NH and have been living in CO for almost 30 years. As soon as I moved to Colorado, I noticed how much more intolerant and obsessed with race people are out here. It seems that the larger the city is, the more Liberals are openly discriminatory and uncivilized.
You can see this by looking at the red/blue maps of your states. The higher the population of a city, the more likely the city’s county will be blue. If you’ve lived in a small towns and a large cities, you’ve probably noticed how much friendlier the small towns are.
I have also been treated worse than Glenn described because I have never hidden my Conservative values. Although I didn’t know I was Conservative because I was almost totally apolitical. I merely considered myself a moral person even though I’m an atheist.
I recall a discussion coworkers had to pass the time. I was the only open Conservative in the room. They asked, “If you had one wish in your life, what would it be?” Everyone answered: money, sex, marriage, typical selfish ideas… When they got to me, I said, “To leave the world a better place than what I came into.” Everyone’s jaws dropped to the floor, “Holy…! You are completely selfless!” That never stopped them from spreading vicious lies about me for simply not being a promiscuous and hedonistic like them. They valued not having values and attacked morality. Many bragged about cheating on their husbands. They were terribly selfish.

Posted on September 4, 2012 at 9:46pmAmerican is facing bankruptcy and this is a big reason as to why. I have been a corporate travel agent for over 20 years. And flown them many times myself. I have had an impression for a long time that many of their flight attendents are way up in their years and burned out and sick and tired of the job. I have been treated rudely more often than not by them. American Airlines also completely dumped agency incentive programs so in ending that partnership we no longer have an obligation to sell them. So the bankruptcy thing came as no surprise. I live in Dallas as well and would love to see them succeed only because of jobs. But they suck. I hope USAir buys them out in a merger.

Posted on September 4, 2012 at 11:01pmI think it’s a fair statement that Beck has demonized most of the population of the world. Let’s see, and I apologize if I’ve forgotten anyone. Muslims, of course. All of them – 20% of the world’s population. That’s a lot right there. Of course there’s all the socialists: the Canadians, the Europeans and so on. China, Russia, all of the Middle East, because, of course, they all want to kill you. Liberal Christians, you know, the ones that promote social justice (like MLK), helping the poor (like Jesus) and so on. All Democrats are Nazis. Most of Beck primary white enemies are jews: Soros, Piven, Alynski, Boxer, Al Franken and whatever other Jews he goes after time and time again.
Have forgotten anyone?
WALKABOUT, you’re like a fish in water. You don’t see the obvious. For goodness sake, Beck makes his living generating fear and hatred of “others.” That his act. That’s how he draws a crowd.He’s following a long history fear mongers such as Charles Coughlin and other American race baters of the past.

On a #+ 300.00 bill I left $3.00 tip and the waiter caught up with me before I got to the door and called me a cheap scate. I told him I over tipped him and he did’nt even earn the $3.00. Beck should have told all that that was why he moved to Texas and there will be some people that will get rich off of him – those that earn it.You couldn’t drag me back to NYC. Last year one of my sons got a cup of coffee and a do-nut and it was $21.00. More and more businesses are moving from NY and California. They will tax the rest away.

Posted on September 5, 2012 at 1:37amI’ll suggest this again. I posted this same idea on another TSA-related thread.
How about using the power of the internet to set up a booking site that connects charter flight businesses and prospective passengers, and organizes people so that they can share the cost? The smaller charter businesses, with organized booking/scheduling, could be a way to avoid the major airlines, and the TSA at least for a while. It could be a phone app.
At first it would be more of a “check the charters first, but most likely have to fly commercial to that destination/time” type thing, but as it grows it would become more of a practical alternative. Ebay, Amazon, and Craigslist were nothing at one point as well. I know I’d certainly enjoy my flight on a nice private Gulfstream jet with a handful of passengers who share your outlook, like an all-CCW flight, or all-smoking flight, rather than being groped, irradiated, and having my 4th Amendment rights trampled while being treated rudely by the TSA/Airlines.

Posted on September 5, 2012 at 2:24amContinuing my post, what I’m suggesting is a paradigm-shift away from large airlines that have largely become tools of the government with monopolistic pricing and policies. Just as the Founders believed in a decentralized government to avoid concentrating power, and just as how the internet was originally designed by DARPA to survive a nuclear war by isolating and routing around damaged/corrupt nodes, we need to take back our skies with independent private charter companies and network them together to empower *us* using this new tool and it’s ability to empower individuals and connect them that mankind has never had in all of history.
The automobile and airplane killed the era of the rich and powerful passenger train lines, and the internet can end the era of the behemoth passenger airlines. I dream of taking a flight where, after savoring my excellent in-flight steak, I can have a polite and smiling cabin attendant light my cigar while I slightly readjust my 1911 and it’s holster for better comfort with a full belly.

Not true. In US about 28% according to studies that parse political affiliations/worldviews. In Israel, the figure is even lower (19%). Consider that the US figure dovetails with the overall US figure of 24%.
In both cases, we are talking about people that are obnoxiously “in your face”. That may give an impression that they are everywhere. You notice them. You don’t notice the “silent” majority.

Consider this; 9 out of the top ten states taking in more federal money than they contribute in taxes are reliably RED states. Only recently blue New Mexico cracks the top ten. Any examination of state reliance on federal handouts shows Republican states, both those who vote Republican in Presidential elections and those that have GOP Govenors and Legislatures are considerably more reliant on government handouts than Democratic states. Bash on New York, Connecticut and Californina all you want, but those liberal states are the fiscal teats the Mississippis and the Oklahomas feed off. Don’t believe me?

The most recent Gallup poll shows Obama taking 64 percent of Jewish registered voters to Republican Mitt Romney’s 29 percent, according to Politico. Obama’s number is 10 points lower than the 74 percent of Jews who voted for him in 2008, but it’s still in the range of Jews who have voted Democratic in the earlier era, between 1972 and 1988.
P.S. Politico is very much Lefty.

That’s assuming all Canadians are Marxists, which they aren’t. And for the same reason, not sure the entire European population would be disagreeing with Glenn either and are more than a little ticked off at their political leaders. You think all Chinese citizens love their communistic government? If that was the case there would not have been the Tiananmen Square confrontation/revolt. And personally knowing people from former Soviet blocks, I can say that there is no love loss with Marxism, and would agree with Glenn as well. Again not all in the Middle East are Radical Muslims or Muslims at all, and would agree with Glenn’s position about what is happening in that region. MLK was not “Liberal” Christian but Conservative. Even his niece, Aveda King confirms this. Or are you saying you’ve personally talked with MLK and know better than her? Oh and by the way, Jesus never said take money from someone to give to another, and the reason should be obvious as to why. Can you cite with direct quotes from original sources where Glenn said all “All Democrats are Nazis.”?

Posted on December 21, 2012 at 5:43pmI’ve seen a few comments talking about how conservatives shouldn’t travel to blue states. “See how long they survive,” and all. I get the impression that NY has entitlements up the yin-yang, but I also keep hearing liberals complain about how it’s the blue states that pay net subsidies to the red states through federal programs. They say the red states don’t pay their own way, like the blue states do. I’m never quite sure what they mean by that. Is it just Soc. Sec. and Medicare that they’re complaining about? Or are they talking about infrastructure spending? If they’re talking about Soc. Sec. and Medicare, everybody is sucking on that teat, and you can bet anytime a blue state wants to engage in a major public works project, they’re getting some federal money for it.

Posted on September 4, 2012 at 2:01pmConservatives outnumber Progressives, so why would any business treat Conservatives rudely? Stupidity for sure. What if Conservatives started treating Progressives like Glenn and his family were treated in NY and on the air plane? Progressives are angry, mean people with no self control or civility. They are like children calling names and throwing tantrums. This is Obama’s base, they lack common sense and are void of critical thinking skills and have low intelligence due to indoctrination and, honestly, a life of sinful living.

A man who asks everyone to show love and compassion for their fellow man.
A man who advises citizen on how to prepare for hard times that are coming. To stock up on supplies and invest in gold, in case the dollar becomes worthless.
Glenn Beck gives us the news stories that the Lame-Stream Leftist Liberal Media refuses to tell us.
Glenn refuses to kiss Obama’s ****, and just let him lead us straight into H*LL.
Thank-You Glenn.

Posted on September 4, 2012 at 3:06pmBarton needed to crawl to Beck to defend his “history” books when the conservative historians began to ripe apart his writings.
As for D’Souze, here is what the conservative Weekly Standard has to say:
“thanks to the [D'Souza]’s misstatements of fact, leaps in logic, and pointlessly elaborate argumentation. The misstatements range from the very small to the very large…D’Souza makes many errors of this sort, citing facts that aren’t facts in support of an otherwise unsupported conclusion…And where facts are missing altogether, faulty reasoning bolsters the case. ”
http://www.weeklystandard.com/articles/roots-lunacy_508809.html?page=3
Bill Krystal of the Weekly Standard comparing the rants of Beck to the lunatics of the past:
“Glenn Beck rants about the caliphate taking over the Middle East from Morocco to the Philippines, and lists (invents?) the connections between caliphate-promoters and the American left, he brings to mind no one so much as Robert Welch and the John Birch Society. He’s marginalizing himself, just as his predecessors did back in the early 1960s.”
http://www.weeklystandard.com/articles/stand-freedom_541404.html
Beck, Barton and D’Souza, according to the Conservative media are frauds and liars.

The Israelites’ “problem” in egypt was NOT pharaoh. The solution was not a ‘better’ one. The solution did not appear until they were completely helpless so that they could not take the credit and so that the whole world could see who was (is) actually running the show. The only ‘government’ I want would involve a very special tent in a certain wilderness. I am pretty certain we will see something like that again one day.

I don’t really think they do. Most people are just parroting what they have heard on MSM or from other ill informed people. Heck, you can’t even count on Fox for unbiased truth anymore.
People that still have jobs are busy working and taking care of their kids and home lives. When they do watch television it’s something frivolous and superfluous. Just where in this country can people go outside of Glenn Beck to learn what’s really going on behind the curtain. Personally I have learned alot on various Christian Broadcasting but it pales to what Glenn has shared with us regarding our government and various evil cohorts.
I truly think most Americans just don’t have a clue. I find it hard to believe they would stand by and watch our country being taken over by socialists and muslims if they had even the remotest idea. Not everyone that supports this administration is on food stamps. There are plenty of working class Americans that just plain been deceived. My opinion anyway..

Posted on September 4, 2012 at 6:41pmGlenn and family and security…
I remember very old style lightning rods that people put on their houses. They’d have a glass middle or something like it that would break if the rod was struck by lightning–proof that the house was struck and that the rod protected it. Old farmhouses had these all the time, and people would replace them when necessary. The rods had to be on every eave and corner, along with the chimney and, of course, the barn and other, taller outbuildings. If you didn’t have lightning rods on your house, it would have no protection.
One time, my dad was driving me home from work, a family business for which all of worked. I was just a kid. It was dark outside, in the country, without city lights glowing in the background. We came upon a house engulfed in flames, after having been struck by lightning, or maybe even a fireball. We didn’t think they had enough lightning rods.
You’re a lightning rod, Glenn. You stand there, saying things for us and helping with research and stories and information and cool stuff we don’t have access to. You encourage us to join you, too. We need to stand up with you, to protect our national house, our country. Then, when storms thunder and roll our way, we’ll be ready for the lightning.

Posted on September 4, 2012 at 1:01pmExactly. Evil abhors good. Here you have a man who has dedicated his life to others running events like Restoring Love-Honor-Courage and has been a force for truth and people like those folks just want to tear people down. The Bible puts it best:
*Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good. Anyone who does what is good is from God. Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God.
*Both the heart and mouth must be watched. The temper and spirit of Diotrephes was full of pride and ambition. It is bad not to do good ourselves; but it is worse to hinder those who would do good. Those cautions and counsels are most likely to be accepted, which are seasoned with love. Follow that which is good, for he that doeth good, as delighting therein, is born of God. Evil-workers vainly pretend or boast acquaintance with God. Let us not follow that which is proud, selfish, and of bad design, though the example may be given by persons of rank and power; but let us be followers of God, and walk in love, after the example of our Lord.
*But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God

Posted on September 4, 2012 at 5:34pmIt’s not so surprising that Beck gets this treatment from the flight attendant (FA) crowd. Do not assume that the flight deck crew shares the FA’s political views. The cockpit door is a philosophical dividing line in the aircraft, and there are very different creatures on either side of it. On the passenger side, the FA’s generally rule, unless there is an emergency, and even then……
Airline PR aside, the degree of professional competency in the cabin staff is less than that of a pilot. While there are always exceptions, every flight deck crewmember that I’ve flown with (and I’ve flown with a lot in 25 years) views their position as a lifetime career. FA’s have more of a tendency to view their position as transient (and this FA’s tenure at AA may be more “transient” than he realizes). There are lots of reasons for this, but it all boils down to having less skin in the game if you’re not driving the aircraft. Yes, a FA needs to take their job seriously, and most all of them do. However, there is less economic incentive to stay with an FA position, if for no other reason than it is not a terribly well paid job. Not an excuse for this FA’s behavior, but an explanation.
On the pointy end side of the door is a very different tribe. Pilots are married to their jobs for the remainder of their working life. Their career is, for the most part, a meritocracy. Though they may not all be Republicans, their working “lifestyle” is Republican (and conservative at tha

Posted on September 5, 2012 at 4:11pmWhile it is offensive that Mr. Beck was treated poorly by an airline employee, I find the TSA treatment of passengers are more offensive — imagine having elderly women remove their adult wear undergarments, or women being fondled in public, or children being forced to disrobe. And, I recall that Gov Perry of Texas was AGAINST the state’s legislative body’s effort to end these invasive body searches.

Posted on September 4, 2012 at 12:48pmIf I were to fly I would go out of my way and even spend more money so I would not have to fly on Un-American Airlines. That would be my choice while we are still a semi-free country.

Posted on September 4, 2012 at 12:47pmI have already emailed AA stating I would not do business with anyone who discriminates regardless for the reason of the discrimination. Can you imagine the outrage if a black person or gay person was treaded this way!! We all need to take a stand.

“Do you have any idea how stupid you sound?”
And do you know how silly you sound? Every Republican president since Lincoln was a failure? I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt, and assume you’re something of an Eeyore when analyzing every president since Lincoln. My father-in-law doesn’t like politicians of any affiliation, and presidents in particular. If that’s your case, I completely understand, but I wouldn’t trust you (or him) to teach a US History course, or Civics. Neither would I give much weight to someone that informs everyone else on the forum that they’re stupid, or several other simplistic comments. I’ll assume you graduated from high school, but given your posting history, there’s not much that would support that either.
Now the other possibility is that you might be a wee bit biased against Republicans, and prone to making biased statements that are so wildly unsupportable that you just sound……silly. You have taken a US History course (or Civics) at some point in your life? It’s really would be a wise investment if you feel the need to hold forth on a national forum. Perhaps you wouldn’t embarrass yourself as much as your posts demonstrate.
Do you generally write at a seventh grade level at your place of employment? I’m certain your mother never taught you to express yourself like this in public.

Beck should have filed a complaint to the airline, and also named the BBQ shop in his report. They should not have jobs, they already have Obama-fare.

Posted on September 4, 2012 at 1:10pmif he named the bbq shop it would overflow with people who hate glenn – they would be proud to eat in a place that treated him horrible! also the airline knows exactly who the flight attendant is and hopefully they will do something! he doesn’t have to mention a name and i hope it cost the FA his job. if the company doesn’t apologize i hope it will cost them where it hurts – in their pocketbook.

Posted on September 4, 2012 at 8:06pm@Watersrpeople, you do know that you are part of the problem that is going on in today’s Society don’t you? It is people like you who have no tolerance towards someone who has a different opinion than you. It is sad to say that children have more tolerance than you do and are more accepting of others who are different. Furthermore, I do not care who you are or what ones Political standings are, no one deserves to be treated the way that Glenn Beck and his family was. The next time you decide to mock Glenn or anyone on this thread, think about how you and your family would want to be treated before you spew your hate filled rhetoric.

Does the phrase “that which you do to the least of my brothers, that you do unto me” mean anything to you. Or how about, ” do unto others as you would have them do unto you”, you know the old golden rule. How sad you must be and angry every morning when you look in the mirror. Even if I could not stand you, I would still be polite to you. It appears that your parents did not teach you well. Without. Civility, Civilization falls apart.

Grew up in Queens, worked in the city all my life. New Yorkers don’t like frauds, Glenn Beck is a fraud, a liar and racist.
Beck has tricked the fools to believe the lies he sells, New Yorkers for the most part are intelligent enough to know when a crap sandwich is being offered to them and who the chef of it is.

Glenn Beck is a good guy. He speaks the truth, without any hate or lies. He’s a good Mormon man, who loves God.
A man who asks everyone to show love and compassion for their fellow man.
A man who advises citizen on how to prepare for hard times that are coming. To stock up on supplies and invest in gold, in case the dollar becomes worthless.
Glenn Beck is a man who has watched a racist, divisive, anti-American President, sell us out to our enemies. A President who placed evil holiday ornaments on the 2009 White House Christmas tree, printed with the faces of Communists, Socialists, and Marxists, such as Mao Tse-Tung.
Glenn Beck gives us the news stories that the Lame-Stream Leftist Liberal Media refuses to tell us.
Glenn refuses to kiss Obama’s ****, and just let him lead us straight into H*LL.
Thank-You Glenn.

Posted on September 4, 2012 at 2:54pmBoy, are YOU eating the blotter and drinking the kool-aid! I grew up in upstate NY in the 50s, and even then NYC was a cesspool. I never had the least desire to go there, until the 70s, I was forced to do so by a business commitment. I spent what felt like a year there over three days. I was never so glad to leave a place until I left the Peoples’ Republic of Califruitsandnuts.
Both are places I intend to never visit again, even though I still have friends in Califruitsandnuts. They can come t’Texas.

And let me say; I went on a trip to NYC a little while ago, first time there. The people there are anything but “loving” and “caring”. It’s a city with life, but no soul. That’s the feeling I had the whole time; even from the time the plane landed. It is the soulless city. There is nothing good about that city.

Posted on September 4, 2012 at 4:46pmEncinom,
You are such an idiot. You phony MF. Didn’t you say before that you were raised in California? Didn’t you say you are living in UK?…Didn’t you say you were not American???….maybe I’m wrong, but that’s what I remember from your post in the past. You used to live in Queens and you didn’t see what illegal immigrants do to your country on a daily basis?…you didn’t see what liberal politicians do to the black people in Harlem and The Bronx??…you didn’t see in your own face many of the things you usually condemn here???…if you didn’t see any of these things, supposedly living in Queens, you are definitely deaf, blind, racist, ignorant and retarded (yes, I said it!).
You are such a piece of ****. And yes!, I’m calling you names, and you know why?…because you are such a mean person. Because you call names too. Because, if you are American (I doubt it), you are a traitor to your country, your people, your family and your culture. Because you say always the opposite to every story just for the sake of being the bad guy. Because you are such a coward with many things you say. Because you just say mean things all the time. Because you just spend many hours, each day, in a place where you don’t feel good, arguing with people you know you don’t agree, and saying negative things to every single story.
I mean, you are such a disgusting human being that spends time every day just doing something that is negative per se.

Posted on September 4, 2012 at 4:48pmWhat kind of person and life you have that you find pleasure fighting and arguing with the people that you don’t agree, every day, several hours???
Life is hard. My life is hard, as everyone else’s is too, so, when I have some time I try to do positive things. I try to find people with the same mindset that I have. People that share my same feelings and beliefs, and that’s why (one part at least), even not being American, I come here to The Blaze…..After a long day working, I don’t go to the HuffPo or the New York Times to argue with the libs the rest of my day.
But mostly, I don’t respect you because every single time that somebody posts an answer for you with facts and real info, you, like a ***** coward, remain silent. I don’t remember one single time that I believed you were right. Not even one!….And let me tell you that I always try to be fair, to the point that I would be telling you right now if I ever did it once.
I don’t agree with Beck every single time. I don’t think he is my idol, nor my messiah. For me, he is just a sinner as I am. He has his past as I do too. He has made mistakes as I did.
As long as I know, he does as he says. I’ve seen his deeds the last three years, and as long as I know he is a decent guy, committed to his family and very successful. But mostly, I see a guy that deeply loves his country and his people. I don’t know many people like him loving their respective countries.

Posted on September 4, 2012 at 4:53pmOne last thought: There is one little detail that shows your true heart. Sometimes there are stories that are in essence positive for your country and for every single person, regardless their political view….and, even in those positive and wonderful stories you made a negative comment. If you are really honest person, and you have a minimum amount of common sense and love in your heart, you don’t post negative statements to those stories too. You are really a low life.
(And no, I don’t hate NY. I love NY. There is history in every corner. Great food. Great architecture, beautiful girls….and I’ve had good experience with the people there….but being tourist is not the same as experiencing the city when you live there, I know it)
Beck lies?…show your facts!
