Exposure by Free Republic Forces Huffington Post to Pull Article Threatening Glenn Beck
Monday, August 30, 2010 | Kristinn

Posted on 08/30/2010 9:12:45 AM PDT by kristinn

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.

http://www.larrysinclair.com/ Ask Huffington why she does not seek the truth about these scandals?

Ain’t that the truth?

Maybe Beau Friedlander needs to find out why the LA Slimes has yet to release the tape of Obama and Rashid Khalidi. /s

Could you imagine the uproar if Beck was assassinated and monies actually changed hands for it? The left media would go into an unrecoverable tailspin.

The Left media would not cover the story.

Remember how the DC Sniper story became a non-story the day after the snipers were caught and discovered to be Black Muslims with connections to Nation of Islam?

Thanks, Laz. Back atcha.

All I'm really good for is keeping morale up, and maybe being part of the RidiculeTheOppositionSquad. I guess those are important too, but you are one of the Real Deal In The Trench-ers.

Kristinn, once again you and Free Republic

ROCK!!!

Big pat on the back and ATTABOY! Now I'm wondering--will Glenn Beck thank you this afternoon for scooping the anti-American liberal hit offer on his life? I'll be watching to see! :-)

The Left is FINISHED and they know it. This bunch of desperate ideologues that think they’re smarter than everyone else is drowning like rats in a toilet.
Huffington is a moron. So are her crew.
See you in November. Be prepared for virtually anything between now and the time we throw this trash out, never to be allowed back in to politics on any level.

Highest,
Prong

If the left wants Glen Beck to be heard no more, they should sign him to an exclusive contract on MSNBC!

Laz, your job is important,...as are those who are working and supporting those working in Alaska/Arizona/Florida etc etc.

Those doing research, sending material to the
media that will promote the cause. etc etc
(Libs need to beware of the etc etc, it’ll bite em)

FreeRepublic is the best...We search for truth, justice and the American way!;~)
Kristinn is the superhero! But there is plenty of supportive cast.
WE see November more clearly from FreeRepublic today!

You should’ve just heard the death threat Hannity and Rush just got on Hannity’s show. He said Freedom Works has had to move to a safer location.
