Beck scoffs at ‘lie’ allegations
Posted by admin on September 4th, 2010
(CNN) -Glenn Beck is scoffing at recent attacks from MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann and others after the Fox News host inaccurately told the crowd at his recent Washington, DC rally that he “held” George Washington’s handwritten inaugural address.
“I thought it would be a little easier in the speech,” Beck told his radio listeners Thursday as he dismissed the most recent liberal attack directed at him.
The uproar from the left came in response to a comment Beck made during his Restoring Honor rally on the National Mall last weekend in which he said, “I went to the National Archives and held the First Inaugural Address written in his own hand by George Washington.”
Turns out the Archives’ policy doesn’t allow members of the public to touch rare documents like the First Inaugural Address. Instead, Beck was permitted to view the document through plastic – prompting Olbermann to declare “his story that he actually got to hold it…is wrong.”
“His fib stands in stark contrast to the point of the rally, which was all about restoring the principles of courage and honor that the nation was founded upon,” the publication Mother Jones chimed in.
But Beck himself didn’t seem frazzled by the allegations.
“They are like, ‘He’s such a liar. Glenn Beck is such a lair!’ said Beck laughing off the criticism.
“I thought I’d be a little easier than to say, ‘Yesterday, I went to the National Archives, and they opened up the vault, and they put on their gloves, and then they put it on a tray, and they wheeled it over, and it’s all in this hard plastic, and the because you’re sitting down at a table and you can’t – because of [Former National Security Advisor] Sandy Berger – you can’t actually touch any of the documents because they are very rare’…..I thought it was a little clumsy to explain it that way.”
“Might have been a little too much useless information!” Beck exclaimed. “Once again, they caught me.”

Americans need to wake up the fact that Beck is simply another opinion pushing charlatan who is a product of mormon cult theology and he mixes this with his personal make up as a dry alcoholic. And for the record, he is a Mormon and not a Christian. As someone with a graduate degree in religion, I can say with all qualifications that Mormonism fits all parameters of a cult and has none of the parameters of a religion. A cult is any group (regardless of its size) that interprets the doctrines of a religion in an unorthodox fashion. The problem here is the fact the most Christians do not understand the difference and they easily fall for the lies of Mormon missionaries when they come to one’s door. On Beck’s radio show and Fox Network program he consistent demonstrates all the unstable behaviors of a dry alcoholic which include grandiosity, judgmentalism, intolerance, impulsivity, ADD and indecisiveness. Alongside that reality, Glenn Beck does not possess a single ounce of journalistic integrity, has no college degree, has no qualifications and he is definitely not a true conservative. But then, what can anyone expect from someone who can’t find anything filthier than their own personal reflection. Since people like Beck cannot survive on the basis of any personal merits, they survive by putting others down with lies and half truths in order to feel good about themselves. The truth about Beck is that he a dry mormon alcoholic who never got the counseling required for alcoholics. To further complicate things and confuse people, Beck flippantly throws around Christian terms like “God”, “Jesus”,”Holy Spirit” as well as voices of other so called “Spirit Powers” on his radio talk show. Beck is a mormon in active standing with the mormon church and is not a Christian. Mormonism teaches many gods, that the god of the earth was once a man who attained godhood status, there is no trinity, the cross of Christ means nothing and that Jesus Christ and Satan were brothers. Because Beck does not possess a single ounce of journalistic integrity, he is the perfect abortion poster child for Fox Network. The people who love what Beck says are no different than the impressionable sheep who loved every speech made by Adolph Hitler in his early years when he brought Germany into an era of economic prosperity These same sheep also blindly followed Hitler into one of the darkest chapters of world history. Beck and the Fox Network both cater to the same lowest common denominator of demagoguery. Beck would not know the first thing about God as he is a mormon. Someone should ask Beck which of the many mormon gods he kept talking about during his argument with himself on Saturday on the square in DC. Like a typical dry alcoholic, Beck even lied on national television when he spoke about holding a document signed by George Washington. That event never took Place. Unfortunately, people who love being led around by the nose do not realize that Beck is talking about a different god than that of Christianity, Judaism or Islam and that he has been a product of mormonism cultism from the day he started doing a radio talk show as an opinion pusher. You don’t have to have a degree in psychology to see that he exhibits all the signs of a dry alcoholic. The only reason this unstable impressionable idiot fell into mormonism was because the woman he wanted to have sex with would not do so unless they got first got married and from that point, they joined the mormon cult. Glenn Beck is as big a charlatan as Joseph Smith or that 5th grade graduate (Charles T Russell) who started the Jehovah’s Witness cult. This is Glenn Beck in a very accurate and concise nutshell. Considering the fact that Becks personal views are extreme Marxist Libertarian, his form of patriotism is false and he is a person who has no real substance or depth. It will not surprise many of us when Beck’s next big thing is to come out of the closet and announce his homosexuality to the nation. Simply put…he is just another predatory neocon who is pushing the buttons of very ignorant & impressionable people who love being told what to think and believe. We live in a period of history where it has become very socially acceptable to be stupid and follow extremist idiots like Glenn Beck, Adolph Hitler, Sarah Palin, Karl Rove, Dick Cheney and Rush Limbaugh. Chicanery and lies are their middle names.
Ridley, your points about Beck are spot on and I agree that his nuttery is based upon his ego, post-alcoholism and his instability. But as a practicing LDS person for 30 years, Glenn Beck is the kind of jackass that skews the perception of what the LDS gospel actually teaches. I could argue with you all day whether the LDS faith is a cult or even a christian religion, but I hope that you and others out there realize that Glenn Beck is a complete buffoon who happens to be LDS, but he does not in any way represent the LDS faith or the vast majority of individuals with in the faith. His behavior and talking points are not based from any teachings or principles of the faith, they are his own ignorant, hypocritical rantings. I just want to make it clear that there are sane Mormons out there, in fact I dare say that most of are sane, we don’t follow Glenn Beck like he’s the next Moses, we don’t have multiple wives and we don’t have horns. Blame Becks stupidity on Beck, not his religion, don’t fall into the trap of painting an entire religion with the broad brush of Becks insanity. That is a kin to assuming every Catholic person is a child molester, when that simply just isn’t true. Thanks for the comment, I really enjoyed reading your points.
God, you “Beck derangement syndrome” types always creep me out. And do you really think anyone reads your delusional “wall o’ text” rants? Get a life.
And no, I’m no Beck lover. You guys just scare me 10 times more than he ever could. I’d be way more scared of being harmed by some obsessed internet weirdos like you than by a stupid entertainer like him.
You need to up your med dosages, pronto. And if you had a life, you’d realize how little Beck matters in the real world. Geez.
Beck matters in the real world. That is the scary truth. Interesting discussion from a theologian and a practicing Mormon. But I think these are the type of accusation that does more harm than good. Beck may have viewed (or maybe even held) the document in its plastic case at the museum, but he didn’t hold the speech itself because of its protective coating. This is an argument of semantics, and not an argument of substance. Move on.
@SamG:
Your comments offer nothing more than attacks on the authors of legitimate and actual posts regarding this issue.
It appears that your only opinion is that everyone’s opinion is wrong (except yours of course).
How is it that your opinion is superior, yet it is also absent (of any substance)?
