There are those who love freedom of expression, as long as it’s not conservatives who are doing the expressing. Just ask Glenn Beck. On radio Tuesday, he told the stunning story of how he and his family were harassed during an outdoor movie in New York City’s Bryant Park.
For those unfamiliar with Bryant Park, it hosts weekly showings of classic films during the summer months. Attendees bring blankets and picnic dinners and sprawl out on the park’s great lawn while watching the films on a giant screen.
As Beck explained, he attended Monday night‘s public showing of Alfred Hitchcock’s “The 39 Steps” with his wife and daughter. During the film, he was ridiculed, had someone “kick a cup” of wine on his wife and on his blanket, and even witnessed another person stand up and yell, “We hate conservatives here!”
“These people were some of the most hateful people I have ever seen,” Beck said. “All I wanted to do is go out on a blanket with my family and have dinner in the afternoon sun and sit around Americans, not like-minded Americans, and just watch a movie in the park. And last night at about‑‑ when the movie was just about over, my wife and I got out because it was hostile.”
Later, when Beck left near the end of the movie, the crowd applauded.

Quoting people he disagrees with is all he HAS to do. Those people lay out their real positions themselves if you catch them in front of friendly audiences. All Beck ever does is show you what liberals say to other liberals.
Or haven’t you noticed all his critics wind up sounding just like bitchy little teen-age girls trying to get a prettier girl ostracized from the the popular crowd. If they had any real substantive criticism, they wouldn’t be trying pull the “oh, sure” crap like you.
If you can see it differently, show your cards. Where’s the articles proving Soros DIDN’T say “x” on page “y” of his book? Where’s the film showing the exculpatory context of Van Jones admitting he “dropped the radical pose to achieve radical ends?” Where is the news story documenting Beck’s “factual errors?”
Can you show these things, or are you just another petulant, pop-culture drone that got suckered by MSM into thinking you have a clue, and lacks the intellectual integrity to own up to it when challenged to put up or shut up?
