Huffington Post Offers $100,000 for Sex Tapes, Phone Records to Destroy Glenn Beck
Monday, August 30, 2010 | Kristinn

In the wake of Glenn Beck's hugely successful Restoring Honor rally held in Washington, D.C. this weekend, the Huffington Post has published an offer of $100,000 to anyone with evidence that would destroy Beck's reputation and take him off the political/cultural battlefield.

An essay written by Beau Friedlander, the last editor-in-chief of Air America before it shut down this year, was posted in the Politics section of the Huffington Post today with the title, $100,000 For Glenn Beck's Sex Tape.

Friedlander says he will not use his own money for the hit, but that he will "broker" the deal.

It is time to pop the tea baggers' favorite balloon (so what if it will be replaced by another?), and with that in mind I hereby offer to negotiate a $100,000 payday to the person who will come forward with a sex tape or phone records or anything else that succeeds in removing Glenn Beck from the public eye forever. I am not offering the cash myself, but I will broker the deal and/or raise the money for what you bring to the table. (And it better be good.)

If you have the goods, or if you want to contribute to a slush fund to buy more takedowns (probably not tax deductible), please contact me at: glennbecksextape@gmail.com.

Friedlander couches his offer in the context of Andrew Breitbart's offer of $100,000 for the Journolist listserve messages, but this is more in line with pornographer Larry Flynt's blackmail campaign against Congressmen during Bill Clinton's impeachment, which followed a threat from Clinton conveyed by George Stephanopoulos to expose their sex lives.

Likewise, the Huffington Post has ties to the Obama White House, raising the question of whether the White House is behind this targeting of Beck.

“Sounds like they’ve implied a ‘mob hit’.”

He had quite a bit of security this weekend.

This email address needs to be crashed.

Glenn Beck has already admitted there are things in his past he regrets. He’s a recovering alkie. Nothing can embarrass him. But, believe me, there are people who probably attended AA meetings who can stretch what he’s said in the past. If he did it right, however, he only admitted the real bad stuff to his sponsor, hopefully someone he could trust.

“...anything else that succeeds in removing Glenn Beck from the public eye forever.”

Sounds like they’ve implied a ‘mob hit’.

Remember when jobs for mob hits were written in code and placed in the classified ads in the newspaper? Remember when job ads for mercenaries were placed in Soldier of Fortune magazine? Perhaps this is something similar.

For the record, many Tweeters and Bloggers picked up this story from Free Republic, yet they have not seen fit to give a hat tip or link back even as they steal the headline from this article:

Example one: @slkbrook Huffington Post Offers $100,000 for Sex Tapes, Phone Records (anything) to Destroy Glenn Beck http://huff.to/alroNn #tcot #desperate about 1 hour ago via web

Eaxample 2: Weasel Zippers, Huffington Post Offers $100,000 for Sex Tapes, Phone Records to Destroy Glenn Beck

Example 3: Audacity of Hypocrisy just plain stole my article--headline and text.

While Newsbusters wrote their own article and headline, they give a hat tip to a blogger for the story.

Normally I don't complain about such things , but this blatant article thievery and credit stealing is ridiculous.

And even if incriminating evidence exists, Beck has admitted to having a self-destructive lifestyle in the past. Unless it is recent, it should be a non-issue.

Correct. And part of recovery is owning our past - admitting our wrongs - righting them as it is possible and prudent to do so. Amd moving on.

For most of us, this is private business. Since Beck has made his recovery public record, if needed, he may have to do it in public.

Which is a win/win. There is great spiritual power in the humility required to do this.

Beau was hired by Air America to bring their internet-based reporting up to the level of a really bad Jerry Springer episode. Beau, to his credit is trying, first demanding that everyone forego Fox News or be branded un-American. Then, saving his liberal funniest for last, remarking that Van Jones is no more communist than (wait for it)…Glenn Beck.

LOL - the author cites Breitbart offering $100,000 for evidence a tea-partyer spat racial epithets because he KNEW it didn’t exist. I think the same applies here to Glenn.
