Did Glenn Beck Get a Phone Call From the White House?
17 Dec 09 | Vanity

Posted on 12/17/2009 10:29:33 AM PST by DoctorBulldog

My wife was listening to Glenn Beck’s radio program, this morning. She informs me that Glenn Beck says that the White House called his “red phone” yesterday at the end of his FOX News TV show.

Evidently, the White House was upset that Glenn Beck interviewed Michael Goldfarb, author of the Offutt AFB closure threat report. In the interview, Goldfarb stood by his report. Glenn Beck, prefacing the story as a rumor, also stated that he confirmed this story with three sources. But, the White House vociferously denies the story.

I’m not saying he’s a “liar”, per se. He’s a showman. I don’t blame a showman for being a showman. Someone else on this thread asked me if I realize what Beck does, and they had a point, but all the same, please don’t pee down my back and tell me it’s raining.

Several months ago I heard a democrat of dark skin call the White House “the House of White.” (I had been wondering when something similar was going to happen.) I never heard it repeated, but I nearly lost it I was laughing so hard. Did anyone else hear it?

Okay let me spell it out clearly for people who can’t make reasonable inferences: THE WHITE HOUSE DID NOT CALL HIM.

Just like a liberal...start with the insults when the supply of logic zeroes out.

It is your OPINION that the White House didn't call him, but your opinion is not one iota more convincing than Gore's opinion on global warming.

You present it as fact, without any evidence. If this were a court room maybe you could claim to be an expert witness and your opinion would have some weight to it, but that is not the case. You spouted off about Beck based on zero evidence.

My question is: Why should I believe you over Glenn Beck?

No, Beck isn’t Rush, that many married womanizer. Beck is a loving father and loving husband. He doesn’t insult women like Rush does.

And you, AND Rush, ain’t God! Give us a break; Rush Limbaugh is only ONE voice; not THE voice.

We, the people, choose to listen to several opinions; not just those you approve of.

Thank you. Due to the demands of an attention seeking two-year-old daughter, I missed the end segment of Glenn Beck’s television show, yesterday.

I’ve grilled my wife about what exactly Glenn Beck said on his radio program this morning, and she says, to the best of her recollection, Glenn Beck said that at the end of his television show, he had received a call from the White House about the Offutt rumor. Also, that he would discuss it on his show tonight. My wife doesn’t recall if he said it was the “red phone” or a “crackberry” or what. I guess we will all find out tonight.

Cheers

You do realize Beck is on his 2nd marriage, right?

And I've no idea about any other girlfriends...in between marriages? Do you?

Describe a "insult" to women from Rush?

You can listen to anyone you want, of course, but you should just know when something is real and when you’re being jived. There was no phone call, there was no “White House” communication. If watching/listening to Beck is helping affirm a view that you have personally researched and come to, good deal. If you’re GETTING information or beliefs from Beck, that’s a problem, a problem every bit as bad as people who get information and “facts” from Michael Moore.

Okay.....I guess the Florida newsstation that got a phone call or some sort of communication from someone connected to the WH....was just a dream?

What about the MO law officials and D.A.'s taking on those that "were spreading falsehoods" about Obama?

How about the "Turn in your neighbor for funny business" web site?

What about the "communications" to reporters, newspapers, and Rep. Conyers? When said entities and persons cross Obama?

It's you that maybe should WAKE UP! Because with this WH...it's absolutely possible.

I'm not saying it happened...but the probability is certainly there.

Unless you have some factual info....then if I was you I would keep an open mind about it.

But liberals only listen to one voice and that is because they are all zombie sheep, like lemmings they will follow each other right off the cliff, brainwashed by propaganda and outrageous lies by liberal leaders for decades. They are zombie sheep, not free thinkers. If they ever thought outside of their little fantasy world, they would see the true reality of how dangerous and deceitful their liberal leaders really are.

Oh, now we're at "connected" to the White House? See how things are becoming more tenuous already?

I don't need to furnish any factual info, I'm not the one who's making the claim. Beck is. If Beck got a call from "the White House" I want a name, I want corroboration from the person that made the call or I want a phone record. What is going on on this site? Do you people think that just because someone shares your political philosophy (which you don't really know that Beck does), you can trust them?

I’m giving the benefit of the doubt to Beck — the White House has repeately shown that it is unworthy of said benefit. (Except to O’Reilly. He’ll continue to pander to Obama up until they shut off his microphone and haul him away).

Beck has been good so far, except for his idea of adding a VAT tax to pay down the deficit (when he was on O’Reilly)- he really lost me there - how could he even suggest any kind of tax with this group in Congress and the White House
