Glenn Beck Jeered By New York Crowd For Using Socialist Park

by Wonkette Jr.  5:33 pm June 28, 2011

Next time, dump him down the sewer.Ex-television clown Glenn Beck just wanted to go to a government-run socialist park to watch a free movie on the lawn with other liberal New Yorkers at Bryant Park, but apparently New Yorkers somehow found out that Glenn Beck is a fearmongering fanatic who thinks the entire American Government should be destroyed, and that all poor people and sick people should die in the streets, which also shouldn’t exist because of No Government. And the New Yorkers ridiculed him, because he’s a hateful asshole, and now he is sad about this. Why won’t everyone love this race-baiting psychopath?

Gothamist reports:

“All I wanted to do is go out on a blanket with my family and have dinner in the afternoon sun and sit around.” While in theory this is a completely reasonable request, it seems a tad disconnected from reality, which shouldn’t surprise anyone. Beck said on his morning radio show that from the moment he arrived, the vibe was “hostile,” and that someone apparently kicked a glass of wine (which they shouldn’t have had!) over on his wife’s back. When she got up to use the restroom, someone pointed at her and supposedly shouted, “We hate conservatives here!”

Ha ha, idiot. If this was Soviet Russia, which Beck often seems to claim is exactly what America is, Glenn Beck would’ve been executed by firing squad and all the video recordings of his dumb teevee show would’ve been erased from history or YouTube or whatever. [Gothamist/Gawker]

"someone apparently kicked a glass of wine (which they shouldn’t have had!) over on his wife’s back"
They should have kicked a cask of wine on her and Glenn, too. The kids probably could have been taken out with just a box of wine.

chilequiles June 28, 2011 at 5:46 pm

Crowded social gathering, with people navigating around the blankets and human puddles. Movies playing. A drink is spilled.

Obviously a communist did it. On purpose. Couldn't possibly be an accident.

Nothingisamiss June 28, 2011 at 5:55 pm

Every time I see your name I want chilies. Is this wrong?

anniegetyerfun June 28, 2011 at 6:09 pm

Chilequiles (the food) used to be my favorite hangover brekky. Le sigh. I miss being fat.

Nothingisamiss June 28, 2011 at 6:12 pm

Xactly what I was saying to myself earlier when I was looking at some donuts! (This reply is off topic. Still wanting good chilies.)

SorosBot June 28, 2011 at 5:55 pm

And it makes perfect sense that someone would throw the wine at Mrs. Beck instead of Glenn himself, right.

anniegetyerfun June 28, 2011 at 6:10 pm

A witness wrote in to explain what happened, and it's pretty much exactly what you would expect – Beck is a paranoid schizophrenic.

chilequiles June 28, 2011 at 6:35 pm

Just another reason why, in my mind, he's using the mormon faith to suit his purposes. My aunt keeps cooking sherry in a cabinet since she's an amazing chef. It's a bit of a family scandal. Alcohol is a HUGE no-no. Beck even being near wine sets off my grifter alarm. Can't wait for the looks of shock when he starts bottling Deseret Snake Oil with the church logo on it. Mormons are being played for fools, which i'm not sure makes me happy or sad…

chilequiles June 28, 2011 at 10:34 pm

So apparently some chick nearby spilled her wine and apologized and helped clean it up. I stand corrected that perhaps he doesn't hit the bottle (these days anyway, still, naughty naughty mormon, only root beer for you). Only thing is, this is clearly another chapter in his upcoming griftseller "Tears. See? I'm picked on and now am sad, For America."

In other news, holy shit, Gothamist is a hilarious troll den of amateurs getting clobbered by NY's best. Go team go, yay!

Madfall June 28, 2011 at 5:39 pm

I am always amused when people bemoan the horrible state of their country and then get hell for it in the street. What the fuck do they expect? Spontaneous ticker tape parades from the massed socialist hordes?

Nothingisamiss June 28, 2011 at 5:56 pm

Yes. In his mind, this is what Glenn thinks will/should eventually happen….from the facist hoardes, although he will just be waving at all the "Great Americans."

MaxUdargo June 28, 2011 at 10:31 pm

What gets me is the guy lives in New York. Back in the day freedom-loving people would do anything to escape a socialist hell hole. They'd leave behind everything they knew, sneak about in the dark trying to avoid the secret police, sneak past guard towers, crawl under barbed wire, brave mine fields and cover themselves in mud and lie still when the searchlights passed over them in order to escape to the free world.

All this guy has to do is pack up his family in the station wagon and drive from the socialist nightmare of New York to the capitalist heaven of Alabama or Florida or whatever. Nobody will kick the wine off his wife's back there.

Madfall June 29, 2011 at 4:31 am

Clearly he views himself as the secret agent behind the wire, keeping his beady eye on those subversives spoiling his country.

anniegetyerfun June 28, 2011 at 5:40 pm

If, say, Keith Olbermann had headed to a Tea Party rally in Alabama, he would have been warmly embraced. Liberals are just so fucking mean.

"And the New Yorkers ridiculed him, because he’s a hateful asshole."

I thought New Yorkers pretty much ridicule everyone.

Nothingisamiss June 28, 2011 at 5:57 pm

It seems, also, too, that some New Yorkers can be hateful assholes, yet Donald Trump is also similarly scorned. Who can explain it?

anniegetyerfun June 28, 2011 at 6:01 pm

It's a city ordinance. If you stop mocking others, they make you pay a Nice Tax.

Biel_ze_Bubba June 29, 2011 at 8:22 am

Outside of the Faux studios, being nice to Beck is a misdemeanor.

Negropolis June 29, 2011 at 8:26 am

They do, and it's how they show that they love you…and/or hate you. It can be confusing.

Also, New York's state bird is the middle finger. Also.

What do you call Mormon wine?

*nasal voice* Hoooooneeeeeey, I think I'm gonna have another baaaaaaabyyyyyy.

Oldie but goodie, when i used to be a good little closeted deacon. ^ ^

And hell no, mormons (ok, maybe only the VAST majority) get offended if you even drink coffee around them. With drinking wine, you might as well bugger their children.

elviouslyqueer June 28, 2011 at 5:45 pm

He also compared himself as a potential victim of lynching, saying: "If I had suggested, and I almost did, 'Wow, does anybody have a rope? Because there’s tree here. You could just lynch me.’ And I think there would have been a couple in the crowd that would have."

Lemme stop you right there, Glenn. Matthew Shepard was a lynch victim. James Byrd Jr. was a lynch victim. Emmett Till and thousands of innocent blacks, along with a couple of Jews, were all lynch victims.

You, on the other hand, are a miserable, cowardly, scum-sucking, attention-whoring, pathologically insane, rabid, chronically misinformed, pathetic waste of oxygen. Big difference.

Either way, it's scary and idiotic. Man, my snark is just lacking today.

This is how you know it's a total Beck fabrication. Nobody shouts anything in New York without using "fucking" as a modifier, at least twice.

Nothingisamiss June 28, 2011 at 5:53 pm

Wow. Hate-y people with wild, dangerous rants against socialism can't even enjoy some of that good, sweet socialist park without someone telling them their true, American, God given opinion?

SayItWithWookies June 28, 2011 at 5:57 pm

Glenn Beck, as a member of the oppressed white male religious fanatic minority, feels horribly oppressed anytime anyone so much as looks at him funny. It's fortunate he's not a liberal lesbian who had her head stomped while peacefully protesting or he'd be mocking himself relentlessly for being a professional grievance hound — assuming the incident even happened the way he thinks it did. Hell, I can't go to a baseball game without getting bumped, jostled or annoyed, but I don't think it's a personal attack.

“We hate conservatives here!” is completely bogus. In New York, we don't hate, we just despise. This is not a subtle a distinction.
And we individualize it — no New Yorker worth his bucket of fucks would ever waste them on the plural "conservatives."

thefrontpage June 28, 2011 at 6:02 pm

The real problem is that Beck was sitting on a pink and yellow blanket, holding hands, cuddling and eating liver pate with Pat Robertson, and they were both wearing Speedos, knee-high black socks, and hard-soled shoes. The movie in the park was "The Birdcage." So there's all sorts of sociological, pathological, cultural, moral and aesthetic problems with this scenario.

DashboardBuddha June 28, 2011 at 6:02 pm

You know what, Beck…video or STFU.

For a second I actually felt a little bad for Glenn's kids because their parents can't take them on a nice family outing to enjoy some beautiful summer weather in a public park.

Then I remembered that their father is a moronic, hate-spewing bag of horseshit and thought maybe someday those lazy parasitic children will take some responsibility and commit that chubby sack of crap to the mental institution where he so clearly belongs. Then I felt warm and tingly again. Bootstraps, kids!

Why not pay a Free Market theater to watch a movie on Private property?

Because Glenn Beck is a parasite, looter and leech….

CHUDster_Arthur June 28, 2011 at 6:22 pm

Yesterday's movie was "The 39 Steps", which likely appealed to Beck's fantasies of global intrigue and drama.

He would have been better served seeing last week's movie, "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest". A film where an antisocial miscreant pretends to be crazy for personal gain, grows immensely popular with the other inmates of his institution, and is ultimately trapped in the asylum before being smothered by an obese fan on a Hoverround.

Crank_Tango June 29, 2011 at 12:13 am

Doesn't Beck cry all the time, no matter what? Don't you suspect he went to the park looking for trouble?

Dudleydidwrong June 28, 2011 at 10:38 pm

That's my feeling, too. Righteous Glenn dragged his family into a situation which he hoped would cause the rabble to rise up and make a scene so that he would have something to flap his gums about. He and Sarah Dipshit should get together and have a show about "using the family for fun and profit."

Beck is so full of bullshit that I wouldn't even want to contemplate what it would be like to live with the lying bastard. This now in from Gawker:
——
I was on the blanked directly behind Mr. Beck, and while we did find it amusing that wine was spilled on Tanya & co, I can tell you that it was 100% accidental. My friend was drinking her wine and it tipped over, as wine glasses are wont to do. We immediately helped Tanya & co clean up the "mess" and offered them our napkins, and apologies were made. There was no hostility or animosity in the exchange, and I find it hard to believe that a half-filled glass of wine would be capable of "soaking" anyone, even waif-thin Tanya. Moreover, why would we waste the wine?

What did he expect, that he could call liberals assholes and traitors for years and never have to encounter one in person in one of the top 5 liberal cities in the US.

What's the man doing in a public park, in New York City of all places, mere steps from a subway station? Wouldn't his audience consider that a triple betrayal?

mumbly_joe June 28, 2011 at 11:34 pm

I mean, let's just list the problems with how this plays in Real 'Murka:

1)New York, the very capital of Libtardia itself. None of these wingnuts-for-pay have every actually convincingly pulled off the "I hold my nose and live there because that's where all the jobs (which libruls kill!!!!1) are" act. They obviously live there because it's a nice place to live, *and* it's where all the jobs are, despite all the job-creating liberty that South Dakota has. At least Ann Coulter has the good sense to actually walk the walk and live far enough outside the city in the parts of Connecticut that are known predominantly for their overprivileged rich girl(?)s.

2) Public park. Everyone knows that designated greenspaces are, themselves, an outgrowth of environmentalism, and thus a form of godless pagan nature worship. How DARE NYC let some parts of the city lie fallow and also bolster tourism dollars, rather than building, say, another parking lot.

3) Public screening of a film, free of charge, in said park. Is there really a nakeder form of soshulizm? I doubt it.

4) The robust transit system flanking nearly every side of Bryant Park. I mean, everyone knows that god-fearing 'Merkins build their cities to be choked with highways and traffic congestion. At least, if we'd taken my advice on item #2, and turned Bryant Park into a parking lot, we'd at least have parking solutions that were merely woefully inadequate for the population of the city.

Did I miss any?

guangho June 29, 2011 at 3:35 pm

5. Being in the presence of wine is far too Frenchy.
6. Bryant park was named after lamestream media magnate and abolitionist (!) William C. Bryant.

Beck described the harassers as "arrogant 25-year olds" and said they were the "most hateful people I've ever seen." But there's a hope for these lost souls… if only they realize it soon.

"All I could think of about the people around me all night was I feel sorry for you. I really feel sorry for you… you are so lost… and so convinced that you are absolutely 100% right, and you are helping build a system that is fueled by hate. You're being used and you don't even know it. And by the time you wake-up, it may be too late for you to get out… My family and I will accept you with open arms."

"You are helping build a system that is fueled by hate" …and what have you been doing the last few years? Cry me an ocean, pig.

Hey, you guys:

My neighbors have a kid who seems to be rather strikingly unintelligent. I don't claim to be an expert on child development, but Billy Bob is three, still in diapers, and can't talk. No, he's not leotarded, just really, really, bag-of-hammers dumb. If I'd been that dumb, my parents would have drowned me in the bathtub.

But his parents are my neighbors, so I try to get along with them and be pleasant to their little moron.

Every now and then, when I'm working in my yard or going to the mailbox, I encounter Billy Bob during his busy day of running around at random, shrieking like a sick dog. Trying to be nice, I say something really simple, like, "That's a nice toy".

His reaction is invariably to get all squirmish, flinch, twitch, jabber twice as much as he had been (still without uttering any intelligible words of English), and generally act like a younger version of Ralph Wiggum. He's a dimwitted little shit who constantly demands attention, and then doesn't know what to do when he gets it.

Does that remind anybody of anybody?

In the last couple of decades, Messicans have quietly been turning on the whole Midwest to things beyond tacos and burritos.

I doubt it was all that authentic (they gringoized most things other than the nopales), but even my local Messican restaurant in Springfield Illinois had chilequiles on the menu.

Of course now I'm in Portland, so I'm moving up to places "brave" enough to do machaca and menudo everyday, not just as secret by request only specials.

You have meddled with the primal forces of nature, Mr. Owls, and I won't have it, is that clear?! You think you have merely stopped a blog post — that is not the case! The Arabs have taken billions of dollars out of this country, and now they must put it back. It is ebb and flow, tidal gravity, it is ecological balance! You are an old owl who thinks in terms of nations and peoples. There are no nations! There are no peoples! There are no Russians. There are no Arabs! There are no third worlds! There is no West! There is only one holistic system of systems, one vast and immane, interwoven, interacting, multi-variate, multi-national dominion of dollars! petro-dollars, electro-dollars, multi-dollars!, Reichmarks, rubles, rin, pounds and shekels! It is the international system of currency that determines the totality of life on this planet! That is the natural order of things today! That is the atomic, subatomic and galactic structure of things today! And you have meddled with the primal forces of nature, and you will atone! Am I getting through to you, Mr. Owls? (pause) You get up on your little twenty-one inch screen, and howl about America and democracy. There is no America. There is no democracy. There is only IBM and ITT and AT&T and Dupont, Dow, Union Carbide and Exxon. Those are the nations of the world today. What do you think the Russians talk about in their councils of state — Karl Marx? They pull out their linear programming charts, statistical decision theories and minimax solutions and compute the price-cost probabilities of their transactions and investments just like we do.
We no longer live in a world of nations and ideologies, Mr. Owls. The world is a college of corporations, inexorably determined by the immutable by-laws of business. The world is a business, Mr. Owls! It has been since man crawled out of the slime, and our children, Mr.Owls, will live to see that perfect world in which there is no war and famine, oppression and brutality –one vast and ecumenical holding company, for whom all men will work to serve a common profit, in which all men will hold a share of stock, all necessities provided, all anxieties tranquilized, all boredom amused. And I have chosen you to preach this evangel, Mr. Owls.

with some occasional "fucks" and "Dr. Peppers" thrown in, for good measure.

Indiana, Schmindiana. I'm from Illinoise, which is dangerously close to Indiana.

You'll always have Lileks.

Er … not to be too obvy a furriner, but seven layers of what, exactly?

Hey hey, that's our word.

You're behind the times and you're limited in your perspective.

As is having multiple accounts, as our troll's sockpuppet Spanky2b admitted to being the third of in his very first comment:

(If that doesn't work, it's currently the last comment here): http://intensedebate.com/people/Spanky2b/94

"I just had to create another new account, the last two were blocked – without explanation. "

No scripting involved … it's called being unemployed.

Geminisunmars June 28, 2011 at 11:40 pm

It is sort of right. Should have read "something that spends hours a day…"
I know you were giving it the benefit of the doubt, thinking it was human, but look at its tag.

glamourdammerung June 28, 2011 at 11:46 pm

A normal human would not make stupid jokes about the murder of a nine year old girl either. So I guess my giving spanky underserved credit as well as the attention they crave is yet another way I am better than them.

glamourdammerung June 28, 2011 at 11:47 pm

Or someone with better things to do than troll websites.

But then again, if conservatives had actual valid points, they would not have to resort to nonsense like your stupidity here.

Crank_Tango June 29, 2011 at 12:14 am

LOL my stepdad was from centerreach and my mom's name was patreecher, and my sister was ericker. and pepsi was indeed sohder.

Geminisunmars June 29, 2011 at 12:16 am

Engaging with it just feeds it. I know your impulse, and you are better than it (for a gazillion reasons which are obvious). A life changing quote in my life came from Albert Ellis: "How do you expect a crazy person to act? – Sane?" Saved me from lots of head to wall contact.

glamourdammerung June 29, 2011 at 2:47 am

Anyone else notice how it is never that crowd of losers' fault for anything? Anything that happens to them is always the result of some kind of grand conspiracy and not a consequence of their own stupidity and poor behavior.

emmelemm June 29, 2011 at 3:13 am

I get that reference. And it's AWESOME.

PristineODummy June 29, 2011 at 3:17 am

Lileks himself, or the reference? Because from what I can gather, he is quite the Repuglycan pustule.

emmelemm June 29, 2011 at 3:21 am

Umm… what?

I'm talking about this: Lilek's Gallery of Regrettable Food

That guy might be a Republican pustule, but it seems unlikely?

Perhaps there is someone else named Lileks out there.

ETA: I have investigated! He is a Republican pustule. However, the Gallery of Regrettable Food is still AWESOME.

PristineODummy June 29, 2011 at 3:28 am

Nope. That's him. I used to visit his site all the time for the lulz.

Sorry to break it to ya.

nedbeaumontjr June 29, 2011 at 6:44 am

Exactly, exactly.

ShaveTheWhales July 1, 2011 at 4:01 am

Surprise!!!

BerkeleyBear June 29, 2011 at 10:59 pm

Not to my knowledge, but we did have Xochimilco (the place of the flowers).
