Glenn Beck Admits Lying: 'I Thought It Would Be A Little Easier' (VIDEO)

LOL! TGJ. I think that is too much to hope for. although, I haven't received a single comment about it on my seed yet.

I'm sure they will be here shortly with their usual sanctimonious, ignorant rantings, ignoring reality.

Hrmmmmm, where are the usual Becksters? Ashamed, finally?

No, they are still giddy with the wisdom and mysteries surrounding their exulted leader. Of course they pretend this all makes sense... Remember this one: "Obama has a deep seated hatred for white people, but he doesn't dislike white people, he's a racist." See how well this new yadda yadda goes along with the rest of his guru like statements.

Ommmmm

Well, you know what? We stand out here defending the idiot and he does something like this. In the scheme of things, it was an understandable way to address the issue, but he never should have said he held the document in his hands. A provable lie from him is just fodder for all that believe him a liar any way.

Count on this, He will hear from me and I hope all of the others like me that know about this.

I think what has spurred this on to this heightened level is Beck's much touted 912 project. Many people have taken his code to heart. And, if you will notice, the first of the 12 values is "Honesty".

Beck's 912 Project

But there's no feeling to just see it, everyone has the internet, everyone can see it. He's special he could touch it. Ok, well he couldn't actually touch it, but he's still special... He wants people to know he's special...

Listening to the clip of his show was painful... please don't make me do it again... ever. =)

Jmethe Sad

Because he is so 'special' maybe there is a drug that can control his 'specialness'.

If you find that drug, maybe the next time he opens his mouth in public we can all be standing there with one-way pea-shooters. All of us can't possibly miss that big target.

;anyway it's a good idea)

Ha wjm5-0 I like that idea. =)

I'm with you. Just grab me a pea shooter too. It is really the right thing to do. Either that or capture him unawares and take him in a straight jacket to his new home. To be kind he will be given a mirror with a microphone in his new 'bedroom' where he can be special all he wants.

It's amusing as heck to see the crowd that wants the 10 Commandments posted everywhere violate one of them on a regular basis. Didn't God warn against lying?

Jonesgirl, that is precisely why I fight tooth and nail to keep the TC the hell out of my kids' schools and off of our courtroom walls. Because the very people fighting to put it up refuse to follow it anyway.

Actually, JonesGirl, it's not a commandment. There is no 'thou shalt not lie.'

What is there is #9: "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor." Which the Speck does regularly...just think of his "President Obama is a racist" comment.

And his followers actually revere this pathetic fraud? How stupid is that?

Because the very people fighting to put it up refuse to follow it anyway.

Agreed. Biblethumpers like Beck are hollow shells. If I had a dollar for every holier than thou values Republican that's been caught violating his own biblethumping morals I'd...well I'd probably get a new Iphone or computer monitor but you get the point...

Could have been worse. Could have been in front of monument to George "I cannot tell a lie" Washington.

The Washington Monument is at the other end of the reflecting pool from Lincoln's memorial. He was "facing it" as he lied. It was clearly within his view from where he stood.

Where is God's famous sense of humor when you really need it? Why didn't a dead cherry tree suddenly fall over and bonk the little fraud on the head?

@!$%# he should have had the geese make a bombing run!

Beck will say whatever sounds good to his followers no matter if it is true or false. As long as it sounds good at that moment.

Glenn isn't just in it for money, he also thrives on the fame and adulation. A toxic addiction for someone with megalomaniac tendencies, especially if he finds enough marks to believe his act.

It is all about the money. Always has been.

So it's OK for him to lie because he has the clout to see the document he lied about? Great. He has more clout then the average newsviner so he gets to get away with lying. Brilliant.

You may now return your head into Beck's sand hill.

Do you not see the irony of Beck making sh!t up at his own "Restore the Honor" rally; while God was watching from the heavens?

Mr. Snyder - No....not at all. My entire point in this thread should be quite clear. "What is good for the goose is good for the gander." I think he made a huge error in not going ahead an taking the time to tell the whole story and preventing any unnecessary. Glenn sometimes has trouble getting out of his own way.

However....unless anybody in this thread has never done the same thing themselves, then they have no right to condemn him for doing something that they are equally guilty of.

To do so is called hypocrisy.

We all lie. True. It's a part of being human. Some lie for bad purposes like a conman who fools you into giving him your life savings, some lie for good purposes like not wanting to tell your wife, her jeans make her butt look fat.

However, those little pecadillos are among regular joes, people like you and me.

Beck can NOT claim that privilege for himself when lying in a public forum. A forum I might add full of people that seem to look up to him from what was shown in the news and videos.

What I consider worse is not so much the lie itself, but when he goes on his radio show and shrugs it off like it was nothing.

If he can lie to the people that support him, what will he lie about to the people that don't?

I have never appeared on National Television under the auspices of speaking for G*d, aspousing an unconstitutional marriage of government and biblical laws - including bearing false witness - in front of an homogeneous hoard - size depending on news source - of people I convinced to fear anything that looks different than their mirror image collecting charity for this country's bravest - after expenses, of course - and embellished, truth stretched, fibbed or flat out lied all for the sake of my own advancement.

DLMason

Those of us on this post-site are not celebrities who are trying to influence voters.(at least I don't think we are)

Beck stands firm on his commitment of honor and no one forced him to take that stance.

After this latest admission, and there have been several recalls on his part, maybe some of his more discerning viewers may begin to ask the question,

"How do you know when Glen Beck is lying"?

Answer: his lips are moving.

What Andrew31, Motherlessgoat and wjm5-0 said.

Okay, everyone else who HAS....drink!

:) !

Andrew31

You summarized my opinion on Beck perfectly.

I just love the way that some folks here at NV read a post, gleam what they want, and ignore the rest. I said plainly in my response to Mr. Snyder that I thought Beck made a mistake by lying, even if it were for understandable reasons.

Andrew31 - I give you a bump for your reply! Well said....

I do not see celebrities as being anything special. People are people....they put their shoes on one foot at a time, just like the rest of us. I also see lies as being lies.....regardless of who tells them, or why. The lie Beck told, in this instance, was a lie of convenience. It did not hurt anybody, it did not harm anyone.....except himself. It was stupid.

But for people to want to metaphorically castrate him for it makes no sense to me when each and every one of us have done the same, or worse.

And to my friends, thanks guys!!!

If 500,000 people gathered specifically to hear what I had to say I would not lie.

Huge difference between that and telling my friend her skirt doesn't make her look fat.

Remember; you can't spell Mormon without the moron.

Wow.

Remember; you can't spell Mormon without the moron

And even more frightening is that post got 5 ppl to vote it up. That's alot of prejudice from some very judgemental posters.

Talk about your hate speech. Wow (again).

Hey MMC

I gave you a check mark, as I somewhat agree. But it gets easy to vote up hate in these blogs, doesn't it?

Be Well All

What is the problem? Can you actually spell Mormon without the moron?

That's it; I'm going to log off to spend some time with my wives.

And even more frightening is that post got 5 ppl to vote it up. That's alot of prejudice from some very judgemental posters.

Talk about your hate speech. Wow (again).

If he was a baptist christian he would have said it nicer, he would have said that the mormon religion is a satanic cult.

Wow . . . a 2-fer!

This is more than a bit revealing.

Not your fault at all, Doug . . . actually appreciate you leaving the posts up (you had to be tempted to delete em I suspect).

O.K. SSS.....IIII......GGG........HHHH! Is that heavy enough? LOLOLOL

Glenn Beck is a liar. Geez, what a surprise, to LIE at an assembly for HONOR!

SgtNickAngel,

I think you really need to learn some things about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, commonly refered to as Mormon.

1) Polygamy is the quickest way to get excommunicated from the church, and is only practiced by groups that claim to be Mormon but have splintered off from the church and have gone (for lack of a better word) rogue.

2) We have many people that are very intelligent as members including the vaunted (by the left) Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid.

3) There is not a singular mindset to being a Mormon. While the Church teaches doctrine, it is up to each individual member to keep that doctrine and interpret it in their own way.

4) We believe in Free Will and "individual salvation" over all. God put us here on this world to learn to be like him and we are not controlled by anyone but ourselves. We are encouraged to get to know God on our own outside of church.

5) Most members are the first to admit that they are not perfect and do not always walk in the ways of God and Jesus Christ.

6) If we are a cult, then why are we the FASTEST growing religion in the ENTIRE WORLD with over 12 million members?

Harry Reid is a moron.

Harry Reid is a Mormon? Wha....no wait, I misread that.....a moron? Did you say Harry Reid is a moron? Oh....Ok. I agree! Carry on, Sgt.!

Remember; you can't spell Mormon without the moron.

And this gets 8 votes up . . . (still shaking head)?!?

Me either..........................but I AM old! LOL :-)

Why would anyone want to listen to him, then

Because there are people that believe him and if no one calls out his lies, distortions and distractions. If we only turn one mind loose from the idiocy of the right then that's good. And, of course, show the facts instead of letting the right make them up.

OR you liberals could talk about the REAL issues facing America. jobs (or lack thereof...), crashing economy, out of control government/spending, etc.... Let the rest of us "idiots" worry about who we will/will not believe. Glenn Beck is a mute point. I'm more worried about those who are legislating us into the dark ages than I am about someone exercising his freedom of speech and others exercising their right to listen and believe him.

TrisomyXAwareness

Only a twit misses the point that there is a weird part of the electorate voting for CONservative politicians who, instead of taking care of the interests of the electorate, represents corporations by legislating and deregulating us into the mess that challenges us.

You will have a lot of work if you become the Grammar Cop, douglas! Perhaps he wishes Beck could be mooted!

It drives most of us crazy, also, but.....I can loose me mind ifs me lets it bodder I.

Be Well!

Arrrrggh! The word is "moot!" Not mute!

Would be nice if Beck had a mute button sometimes though.......................

Douglas, I can let a lot of words slide.....but that one is a pet peeve of mine too.

Mr. Snyder.....good one! That made me laugh.....

Because it's amusing. Circus freaks like Beck and Palin are entertaining.

. . .and Hillary was under gunfire . . .pfft!

DQ, Is Glenn running for office, hold office, even a journalist? You've got your pants in a bind for no real reason.

douglasq

LOL!

Why do you guys keep seeding these Beck/Palin seeds?

{{{{yawn}}}}

So it can be seen who defends the bull@!$%# from the right with their fake {{{{yawn}}}}

Brent,

They do it to keep the spotlight off of their own ilk that are perpetuating attocities far greater upon this country. They think that a white lie by Beck is indicative of the entire GOP. Beck's lied, this is true, but it will not cost the country billions or trillions.

"We have to pass the bill so that you can know what is in it."

The left can run their maws, suck up and waste oxygen, and quite frankly turn their little "gotcha" party into one giant circle jerk, and quite frankly it wont make one iota of difference. When it comes right down to it, they think that attacking Palin, Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity, et al is the way to defeat the Republican party when in fact if they want to defeat the GOP they should stop focussing on the heads that are talking and should focus on the ones that they themselves have up their own asses.

When the left is innocent of lying themselves then come calling, until just shut the @!$%# up!

Corporate-Labor Smackdown in Minnesota

And do me a favor, save your "straw-man" attacks lefties. Lying is lying. When you can demonstrate that those on the left are completely innocent those of us on the right will do the same, until then, I really could not care less what those on the right say or do if it gets every one of the lefty pieces of crap out of office.

Have a nice f-in day!

I find it an interesting phenomena then that you'd even care about what they have to say or do. If you mean to imply that our government is held accountable somehow, by someone, by what? The ballot box? The media? What media? Public embarassment, the fear of getting caught, maybe. The very fact that our congress has an approval rating in the teens (its been a while since I looked) gives these guys a voice, because guess what, there is no accountability. Conservative talking heads get their very power from liberals that only have sound snipits and ridicule in their arsenal. And, admittedly, no liberal talent that anyone can listen to. Nothing more, nothing less than pure dribble is posted against conservative talk. Most importantly, the federal government has no credibility with 80% of this nation. When this percentage comes close to reciprocating, your good friends Rush, Beck, Hannity and Palin will retire. Until then, I'll enjoy seeing your blood boil on the vine. :)

@Eric + Cheney

Seems your blood is boiling too. Thanks for providing me with some entertainment.

When a self-proclaimed "prophet" decides to hold a giant "Restoring Honor" rally on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, with nationwide attention, declaring he is there to help take back America, take back the civil rights movement, and bring this country back to god, and god this, and god that and then breaks a commandment while talking about all that, by lying on national t.v., it is news.

His integrity should definitely be scoffed at and scrutinized.

@douglasq - The straw man argument variety known as contextomy occurs here all the time. Oddly enough, this happens a great deal in threads about Beck. Not this time.....but it certainly happens on a regular basis.

And do me a favor, save your "straw-man" attacks lefties.

You made a mistake. I believe you meant to direct this statement to righties. They're better at "straw-man" tactics.

I'm not sure you quite understand that term.

And I bet you do.

douglasq,

Yes, I do understand the definition, and I have heard the accusation enough by those on the left when you point out hte hypocrisy of their arguments by supplying examples of their own kind being guilty of the very same things they are diplaying a furor over.

Whenever the accusations of lying are leveled at Beck, Limbaugh, and the like and it is shown that the left is just as guilty of lying, and on much higher level than just talking heads, they trot out the "nice straw man argument" as though the argument against them is made of wet tissue paper and is of very little significance.

and on much higher level than just talking heads

there is no higher level of lying than when the lie is put out there in the name of honor and god in order to gain the trust of the people. doesn't matter whether left of right. when it is done by politicians or preachers, newscasters or columnists these lies become heinous and cannot be accepted as little white lies.

Douglas....no, I was just pointing out that we do see that type of straw man argument all the time here.....not that it applied to this. Sorry.....carry on!

Oh just everything!

Geln, what you have to understand is that there are no such thing as white lies for public figures. Every lie you tell is a big deal because it undermines your credibility. Let me put it this way, when a lawyer catches a witness lying, he never fails to ask the jury, "what else is he lying about."

exactly, +1

the consummate liar
