I never thought I’d have the Evangelical Christians helping fight against Glenn Beck, but it appears so.
“Glenn Beck has gone too far!” says the website of the New Evangelical Partnership. Based on my research of the group, they’re a new partnership, predominately evangelical in nature. The website has the words “Nuclear Disarmament”, “prison reform”, “Muslim-Christian Dialogue” and “creation care initiatives” emblazoned at the top.
I’m not sure what creation care initiatives are, but I do know what’s got them all riled up…something Beck said about “social justice”…
“I beg you, look for the words social justice or economic justice on your church web site. If you find it, run as fast as you can. Social justice and economic justice, they are code words. Now, the idea, hang on, am I advising people to leave their church… yes!… If you have a priest that is pushing social justice, go find another parish.”
I haven’t looked through their whole website, but I gather from their reaction that you might find these words a few times.
Their plan to take down Glenn Beck? Of course….raise $5000 to produce a YouTube video.
– “We in no way want to promote the hateful rhetoric of Mr. Glenn Beck, and therefore take this matter very seriously,” said Dino Balzano, director of advertising at Concord Music Group, parent company of Hear Music, in an email to ColorOfChange.org.
– “We do not intend to have any additional ad placements during the program,” said Jeff Flaherty, spokesperson for Marriott International, in an email to ColorOfChange.org. “I’d like to point out that diversity and inclusion are core values at Marriott and an essential component of our success.”
– “I first learned about this controversy [in November] and asked Fox to take his show out of our rotation,” said Steve Schwartz, executive vice president of consumer services for Intersections, Inc., in an email to ColorOfChange.org. “We no longer advertise on Glenn Beck’s show.”
During a book signing in the private, gated community near Orlando called “The Villages”, Glenn Beck announced plans to do a tour to divide the country into 7 parts and conduct re-education camps.
Beck plans to teach ethics, history, finance and political science.
I’m not kidding. He says the first city on that tour will be Orlando on March 27, 2010 at UCF.
“It’s like looking into a mirror, after you’ve done a ton of coke off of it. Clearly, Glenn Beck is as sincere in what he says and does as I am in believing that baby carrots are trying to turn me gay.“ — Stephen Colbert
“Because if they can take Glenn Beck’s burst appendix to save his life, who’s to say that they can’t take out your healthy appendix tomorrow and eat it in front of you and your children?“ – Jon Stewart
Just when you thought he couldn’t display more stupidity…
Hypocrisy running rampant…
(I just didn’t have enough ways to start this one)
Glenn Beck, the brilliant tea bag / Obama hater / Morman conspiracy theorist, has come out strongly in opposition to Net Neutrality, blasting it as a “Marxist” plot by the Obama administration to take over the Internet.
For the last several nights, Beck has been warning his viewers about net neutrality, the idea that broadband providers should not favor their own content over competing programming.
“So we have Marxists that are designing and working on net neutrality — are believers in net neutrality” to “control content,” the outspoken Beck said Tuesday night.
Beck is actually arguing against his own interests. HE DOESN’T UNDERSTAND WHAT NET NEUTRALITY IS.
Mr. Beck fails to understand the fundamentals of how the Internet works. By all reasonable metrics and his own interests, Beck should be in favor of Net Neutrality, because it guarantees streaming of his program will not be able to be placed behind, say, Keith Olbermann’s Countdown.
Without Net Neutrality, that could happen if NBC’s owner decided to pay protection money for prioritized data transmission.
“Beck, squeezes maximum profit from a relatively small, deeply invested audience…The more the host is criticized, the more committed the original audience becomes.” Can’t bring yourself to read the article? Then read the reviews on the link below…
Warning, what you will see in this video includes predominantly white, overweight, ignorant Americans who attended the Glenn Beck 9/12 Tea Party protest in Washington D.C. this past weekend.
To these people, Communism, Fascism and Socialism are pretty much the same thing. (6:01)
To these people, the Bible says that Barack Obama’s name means “Antichrist”. (4:51)
To these people, Obama is giving land to Czars. (7:41)
