Andrew Breitbart Goes Off On ‘Coward’ Glenn Beck: ‘He Is Dead To Me’
Mediaite ^

Posted on 12/12/2011 5:17:38 PM PST by mnehring

Glenn Beck is very much not a fan of Newt Gingrich. If anyone didn’t yet know that from this interview, he made it very clear Saturday on Fox Business Network when he alleged that Gingrich was so similar to President Obama in his “progressive” ways, that the only reason Tea Partiers would like him over the President would be because of his race. Unsurprisingly, this has caused some anger. Even less surprisingly, one of those angry voices is Andrew Breitbart, a man who is very much not a fan of Glenn Beck.

Breitbart appeared on the Victory Sessions podcast and slammed Beck for, as his BigGovernment site put it, “pulling the race card” on the Tea Party. However, the Beck/Breitbart beef goes back a far way and one could tell this had as much to do with a heated, longstanding grudge as with the Tea Party comment.. In fact, Breitbart only discussed that comment briefly before moving on to a list of the many slights he feels he’s received from Beck. He accused Beck of throwing him under the bus during the Shirley Sherrod scandal and trash talking him in private while poaching employees to create rival website The Blaze).

This was clearly personal.

“I don’t know what to say because I know it makes me look like a bad guy and I know Reagan’s 11th Commandment, but how many times can you have a baseball bat taken to your rib cage by a gang that have GBTV on your jerseys before you stand up for yourself?

This guy has always been about himself. You know, while you’re sitting there watching him talk about the food shortage stuff, he doesn’t tell you this ties to the Mormon Church. He doesn’t talk to you about his investors. He doesn’t tell you that they’re paying for him to create a crisis. He always talks about Cloward-Piven and how Rahm Emanuel said ‘Don’t let a good crisis go to waste,’ but creating a hysteria that there’s going to be food storages because of chaos that is coming – he is profitting off this as well. There is a financial stake for him with food storage companies that advertise on his site. This guy is a huckster. He’s always been a huckster. It was only a few years ago that he was a shock jock, that he was a morning zoo guy. And he’s been taking people’s content for years and not crediting it.”

At the end of the interview, the podcast’s host Stephen K. Bannon put it explained that this seemed to be something that “comes from [Breitbart's] heart” and that might be an understatement.

“Beck has sucked for a long, long time.”

My logic tells me that GB is no longer good enough to suck.

The good old days - 8/28/2010 Seems like only yesterday!!!

Re; Beck “He also expressed regret for having asserted last year that Mr. Obama was a racist with a “deep-seated hatred for white people,” a comment that many critics felt undercut Mr. Beck’s assertion of racial tolerance.”

“It was poorly said — I have a big fat mouth sometimes,” Mr. Beck said.

You know, while you’re sitting there watching him talk about the food shortage stuff, he doesn’t tell you this ties to the Mormon Church.

Not does he reveal that he owes his entire career to the LDS. And Glenn is bashing Newt on behalf of the LDS for Romney, to support the Mormon "White Horse Prophecy". Glenn knows if he goes against the LDS that made him, they will take it all away. The same national radio deal Beck got the day after he was "baptized" as a Mormon would disappear.

Actually, I think he endorsed Michelle Bachmann. She’s not a Mormon, is she?

Beck was on Gov. Palin like a dog on a bone. A somewhat polite dog, but a dog, nonetheless.

Where in the conservative rule book does it say “Do NOT keep your friends close, your enemies closer”? Being on that board allowed conservatives to have a dissenting voice. I have been a member of NAACP and ACLU since my early 20’s. I have been so for that reason and one other...so I know, at all times, exactly what they are up to.

Beck thinks he is the “White Horse Mormon Prophet” who will save the republic.

Brietbart should tell people to stop listening to stupid Beck and tune into Flapp Jackson in the Morning this Morning. He never tells anyone to stock up on supplies and has no connection to anything LDS.

Isn’t Beck, like Romney, a Mormon?

That’s just crazy-thinking. Do you clean their toilets, too?

As Don Imus says:

“He can’t suck enough.”

Of course Don Imus also can’t suck enough.

The backlash against Beck's he would vote for third party Ron Paul over Newt is exploding.

It seems to me that this is about a lot of things, but this doesn't appear to be one of those mentioned. Why do you think this is the real issue?

However, what is even more interesting to me is watching how dramatically things change on FR. A year or so back I made an offhand comment that I found Beck a bit creepy and overwrought in all his drama. I was attacked as if I had just said Obama was the Second Coming. And now this thread comes along and it appears that I am no longer alone. The winds of Freeper change do come swiftly, don't they?
