Colbert Mocks Beck with the '1031 Project'
NewsBusters ^ | April 1, 2009 | Jeff Poor

It's the en vogue thing to do - to make fun of Glenn Beck now that his star has risen after switching from CNN Headline News to the Fox News Channel.

After Beck was featured in a front-page March 30 New York Times article, the gang at MSNBC's "Morning Joe" got in on the act - then no other than Comedy Central's Stephen Colbert chimed in on his nightly program, "The Colbert Report."

"Nation, I've been so inspired by Glenn Beck's call to action that I'm launching my own democratic experiment - the 1031 project," Colbert said. "It's organized around 10 principles, 31 flavors, four seasons, ten lords a leapin' and 525,600 minutes."

Well, at least Colbert isn't hateful about it like Olbermann, Maddow, etc. are...

They’re reaaaaaaally coming out of the woodwork since Beck has climbed in the ratings.

Well Glenn must be doing something right if he’s now their target.

People can say what they want about Glenn and his “doom and gloom” scenarios but from I’ve seen, for the good part of it - he’s been right. I enjoy watching him - he’s sincere whether he’s crying or telling off an Atty Gen. He’s the real deal IMHO.

MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” made a video of Glen Beck crying at different times and Joe Scarborough, and the other pundits were cracking up with laughter at seeing Beck cry. They couldn’t make fun of him enough.

They only wish they had his ratings.

I think those MSNBC idiots mentioned are the quintessential example of what constitutes a Liberal. Truth ....told strongly represents all things bad for them.

Beck was one of the very first (if not THE first) to introduce most of America to Sarah ‘Cuda. He interviewed her on his program months before she became the VP candidate.
I like his show, and I like it better now he’s on Fox.

At least Colbert isn’t trying to pass his comedy off as real reporting like Stewart.

Colbert, Olberboy, Matthews, Maher, Maddcow can all go form their daisy chain somewhere else.

Forgot Stewart in that mix. And Maddcow is the manliest of the bunch.

it's hard not to make fun of Beck. I watch David Asman on fox business, during that time.

surprised anyone watches MSNBC especially off here

I watch Glenn and find him the best on TV right now and so what if he cried, he has something they do not

passion about this country, he cares for the country and the future of this country unlike liberals and those in the DC beltway like Peggy noon an

Rachel Maddow has the biggest di** of the bunch. Of course, she keeps it in her purse...... but still....

When Oprah cries, it’s a wonderful and caring thing but if Beck cries, it’s funny and shameful. The real shame here is the idiots in the media. They are enough to make you cry. I’ve seen the ones where Glen cried and it was over our troops and or things to do with children. Gee, can you imagine the audacity of that!
