Web Site Suggests Glenn Beck Disproves a Negative, but it Just Might Be a Bit Offensive
But lately, Glenn Beck's brand of rabble-rousing rhetoric and baseless inflammatory theories have begun to be aggressively met and countered. Like when Color of Change went after him for labeling President Obama a racist on the Fox News show "Fox and Friends." After getting thousands of signatures on an online petition, Color of Change lobbied for corporate sponsors to drop their endorsements of his Fox News show, "The Glenn Beck Program." To date, 36 sponsors, including Verizon, Clorox, and Wal-Mart, have stopped sponsoring his television show.And then Glenn Beck became the latest in celebrity death trends on the internet. "Glenn Beck dead" was a hot search topic Tuesday.
And the day after he supposedly died, someone went after him with a vengeance. Glenn Beck 1990 offers a $200 reward for proof that Glenn Beck, radio and television talk show host and pundit, did not rape a young girl in 1990.
But the website's creator has made his/her point. Glenn Beck's style of irresponsible punditry, shared with the likes of Michael Savage, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and others, is misleading and detrimental. Just as the Glenn Beck 1990 website could potentially be to Glenn Beck's reputation. The insinuation without proof that Glenn Beck might be a rapist is repugnant. But the direct accusation that President Obama is a racist was as well.
Judging from the comments thus far, some are having a bit of fun with the website. But there are others who find it over the line, tasteless, and offensive. One commenter states that they hope the site creator gets sued.
And Glenn Beck just might. One never knows in this great land of litigation.
But one thing is certain: Glenn Beck is under fire. It isn't nice. But, then, calling someone a racist on national television without substantiation isn't nice, either.
Shooting from the hip might result in a ricochet and have the shooter ducking and running for cover. Perhaps Glenn Beck should be careful where he points his mouth...

saying he wasn't born in the US isn't a lie, though - didn't he admit that he was born in a Toronto suburb in his interview with Geraldo Rivera in 1998? I remember hearing him say it plain as day.

As soon as Glenn Beck and his brainwashed minions get that you can't prove a negative, the site will come down.
This is more amusing than if they all took freshman philosophy or logic, I guess.

This issue has already added a new term to our lexicon: Glennbeck. To glennbeck someone is to rape and murder them. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=glennbeck

It's hilarious watching ignorant people trying to defend Glenn Back stating he did not rape nor murder anyone in 1990. It just shows the ignorance of people to not even understand a joke when it comes along. FREAKING CLASSIC!

Why is the media trying to cover this up? They keep saying that Glenn Beck raped and murdered a girl in 1990 is a baseless rumour. Why? How can they be so sure? To be fair, we need to give equal airtime to those who believe that this is a serious allegation that needs to be addressed.

i think that glenn beck is a JOKE and deserves to be lied about, just like he has spread lies about our president - calling him a racist, and claiming he wasn't born in the US. i hope beck has a taste of his own medicine.

Glenn Beck himself has admitted to being an alcoholic. Was he abusing alcohol in 1990, the year he is rumored to have raped and murdered a young girl? I am repulsed by the thought of a drunk and raving Glenn Beck committing such a heinous act. I desperately don't want to believe that it is true. So why is Glenn Beck attempting to shut down the website that is examining these disturbing questions? Why shut down the very website that could clear his name if indeed he did not rape and murder a girl in a drunken rage?

Obama can%27t be guilty of anything in 1990 because Glenn Beck proved he wasn%27t born yet and besides he was in Kenya at the time of Beck%27s murder-then-rape.

If so many people have questions about whether or not Glenn Beck is a rapist and murderer, then it seems to me this is something that we should be having a national conversation about. There is never anything wrong with trying to establish the truth.
Glenn Beck should welcome this conversation. If he is innocent, his good name will be restored.
Why hasn't Glenn Beck come forward? Why hasn't he told his side of the story? A lot of people will say that only means one thing. He has something to hide. What is he hiding?
That's what I want to know. The American People deserve the Truth about Glenn Beck and whether or not he raped and murdered a defenseless, innocent young girl in 1990.
