The Huffington Post has pulled an article published this morning targeting Glenn Beck with a $100,000 bounty after news of the threat was broken on Free Republic.
The article, titled $100,000 For Glenn Beck's Sex Tapes has been replaced with the following message:
Editor's Note: This piece was published directly to the Huffington Post by its author. It didn't meet our editorial standards and has been removed from the site.
The URL for the pulled article reflects the title: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/beau-friedlander/100000-for-glenn-becks-se_b_698724.html
The author of the threat, Beau Friedlander, is the former editor-in-chief of Air America.
Here is the text of Friedlander's call for information to destroy Beck:
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.
The Free Republic article was posted at 9:19 a.m. EDT, and was immediately picked up by several Tweeters and bloggers who used the Free Republic headline without attribution or just plain stole the article from FR.
The news about the Huffington Post threat reached critical mass when it was reported by Newsbusters.
Free Republic has proven yet again that its value in the conservative blogosphere even as FR enters its 14th year online next month.
These people are dirtballs. Decent people shouldn’t have anything to do with them.
Even when offering a bounty, the liberal still can't use his own money!
Has anyone else noticed the shrillness and hate from the left has really unmasked their Satanic agenda. It’s like the GodLess early 20’s John Stewart watching lost youth of Lucifer are really doing the push back. They are not even subtle about it, now they are calling for murder and destroying people based on their political views. They have always whined, complained, protested, but as Glenn Beck said they would Satan is asking them to ratchet things up. What’s coming next is domestic terrorism done by shiny white college kids.
He probably plans to "borrow" it from the Boys and Girls Clubs of America (Air America-style).
Woot!
BTTT
huffington puffington got pawned!
An unprincipled, hypocritical act by Arainna.
I am 100 percent certain that Arianna agreed with the article.
Thanks, Kristinn. This gives new meaning to the two words that the left ostensibly detests: “checkbook journalism.”
Not that that would bother Arianna.
Catching up....
I think he is Edward B. Friedlander.
FReepers RULE!
Thanks for the photos, they need to be posted often.
may be construed as a solicitation to assassination...
I'm not seeing thatand I dont think glenn becks security people or the FBI would see it either.
However there may be some sort of RICO statute or other legislation prohibiting this type of ganster activity
.....and I'm not just saying that to defend my own keyboard hooliganism. I myself am guilty of pushing the enuendo and metaphor to the redline into borderline DHS alert territory..........But then again, that was what the founding fathers were all about too
Thank You Kristinn...Job well done!!
Have you found one of the two obit?
Great work, Kristinn.
