Glenn Beck: ‘Pathetic losers’ = ‘Girl-fighters.’
Glenn Beck: ‘Pathetic losers’ = ‘Girl-fighters.’
Yesterday on his CNN Headline News program, host Glenn Beck attacked lawmakers for advocating redeployment from Iraq. He said that Congress is “sending a clear message to our enemies that we’re just weak and pathetic.” He then added, “Is it possible to convince the Middle East that we’re not a bunch of losers and, you know, girl-fighters?” Watch it:

Transcript:
BECK: I mean, here we have — we have the Democrats saying that we’ve already lost. I mean, they want to do everything they can to stop this war. The Republicans are now starting to say this. We’re sending a clear message to our enemies that we’re just weak and pathetic and, go ahead, come get us.
Is there any way or anything that could happen that would actually turn us around? Is it possible to convince the Middle East that we’re not a bunch of losers and, you know, girl-fighters?

Why does this proven moron have a forum to spew his non-sense? I have never watched him on CNN, I have complained to CNN when they announced he would be on their network and I do not care what this idiot says.
He supports a failed policy, he is the idiot.
May 16th, 2007 at 2:42 pmkasinca: “Why does this proven moron have a forum to spew his non-sense?”
Because the people who run the mainstream media are not liberal or even anything close to it.
May 16th, 2007 at 2:45 pmTP, seriously, how much Feminist garbage can you spew daily?
Is TP totally run by feminists?
Girl fighters? Big whoop.
Are you suggesting girls create, defend, maintain, and enhance civilization?
Is it time to call out the politically correct feminized police?
May 16th, 2007 at 2:45 pmGlenn or Glenda??
May 16th, 2007 at 2:45 pmDoes beck and bushies have something to prove to these backwards arabs?
May 16th, 2007 at 2:45 pmaww from your mouth to God’s ears bucko…Beck why don’t you go and win the war all by yourself and the world will fear and idolize the strength of the Great American Empire (evil laughter) ha ha ha
May 16th, 2007 at 2:45 pmWell if your complaining you obviously do care.
May 16th, 2007 at 2:45 pmGlenn’s theme song:
Macho Macho Man
May 16th, 2007 at 2:47 pmI want to be a Macho Man…
right – everyone who opposes war and the bush administration is “weak” a “loser” “hates america” is “with the terrorists” or whatever other crap these people spew.
It’s all garbage.
The fact of the matter is this – people like Beck are the ones who are weak. They’re afraid of some people in a cave thousands of miles away. They’re scared of being attacked by terrorists, so they want other people to go kill them. It’s pretty weak in my opinion.
Who hates America? Not the people who demand that this country should live up to its ideals of peace and liberty. It’s people like Beck, Hannity, Bush, Cheney and the rest.

may i suggest that think progress refrain from giving this sad, pathetic, seriously twisted man any more exposure than he already has…? his ratings are in the toilet, he knows it, cnn knows it, and all he’s doing is playing for publicity by being outrageous, a la ann coulter, someone else who richly deserves to be ignored… let glenn beck wither away in silence… don’t give him ANY reinforcement, positive OR negative…
And, yes, I DO take it personally
May 16th, 2007 at 2:48 pm‘…Girl Fighters….’ !!!,
This guy looks more ridiculous everyday, What is he talking about?
He seems to be ignorant about military..Does he mean that US soldiers are cowrds?
This is about a war that is hard to win..Our army turned to checkpoint policemen..that’s not what they are trained for..acting as policemen chasing guys in the streets of Iraqi cities.
If the foreign policy is flawed..results will not be promising for any military. The soldiers do not set the plocies,but to suggest they are ‘Girl fighters’ is absured…!!
May 16th, 2007 at 2:52 pmI love it how 6th grade palyground bullying into a foreign policy.
But I don’t think we should withdraw from Iraq, I think we should never have invaded in the first place.
We should reinstate the draft. And if the Coalition Provisional Authority can ensure that only Republicans get hired for staff positions in Iraq, then we should be able to ensure that only Republicans get drafted.
Or we could simply grant deferments to low income Americans.
May 16th, 2007 at 2:52 pmJonny (trailer trash) women have EQUAL RIGHTS to dumbsh!ts like you, well, they actually are better than you. Would you think it is right if every time they see a pile of crap that they would say, “Oh, look at the big JONNY on the sidewalk.”
You are a sexist piece of crap, er ah, I should say, “You are a sexist piece of JONNY.”
Go back to watching NasCar or big time wrestling, that would be more in line for your type.
Hating the Pigs daily
May 16th, 2007 at 2:54 pmMy first sentence should have read:
I love it how we’ve turned 6th grade playground bullying into a foreign policy.
May 16th, 2007 at 2:55 pmHey, Glenn! You’re only 33 years of age. Why don’t you sign up for the military, head over the Iraq and show everyone what a courageous guy you are? That would quickly dispel your chickenhawk image.
May 16th, 2007 at 2:56 pmOh Mr. Becky-poo (or should that be Mr. Becky-Jonny) I do believe the last time I looked that there were WOMEN fighting in Iraq risking their lives, not exactly something you are doing.
Hating the Subhuman slimes daily
May 16th, 2007 at 2:59 pmI got news for you Beck. The might of the US Army with Bush as it’s head is the classic definition of a Pinhead. You remember Pinhead, don’t you? Pinheads can sure do a lot of damage but pinheads cannot win anything.
We need a head transplant just to make us stop shooting ourselves in the foot.
May 16th, 2007 at 3:03 pmwhitetrashjonny go ask your mommy why using women as an insult is bad. I’d tell you to go ask daddy but you don’t know which uncle to ask.
May 16th, 2007 at 3:06 pmFolks, lets please remember that Beck (and Coulter, limbaugh, o’reilly, etc) are using OUR airwaves to spew this hate. They are our airwaves and we shouldn’t be giving a platform for these bigots and liars. They make millions, while we get to hear their spew and hate. That doesn’t sound quite right to me. Does it sound right to you?
May 16th, 2007 at 3:07 pmDear Glenn
I understand you desire a way to show that we are not “girl fighters”.
May 16th, 2007 at 3:07 pmI have given this some thought and I think the solution is that instead of playing macho with words on TV and Radio you actually go and fight. This way the enemy won’t laugh at your words not matching your cowardly nature.

On second thoughts:
.
You probably fight like a girl anyway so it’s probably best don’t
I would like to extend an invitation to Mr. Beck to “Take it Outside,” where I will be glad to show him what exactly he is talking about when he talks about girl fighters.
Transportation to the nearest hospital will be provided… or if he prefers I can just call his Mommy.
May 16th, 2007 at 3:08 pmYes, Beck, there is a way…
You and all the other chicken hawks can report to boot camp for eventual deployment to the streets of Baghdad.
May 16th, 2007 at 3:11 pmglenn beck’s “charm” is the ultimate ‘girl-fighter’
May 16th, 2007 at 3:11 pmAgree with their mission or not (I don’t) but the women serving our country in Iraq are twice the “man” Beck could ever hope to be.
May 16th, 2007 at 3:12 pmHopefully – we’re ALL complaining to CNN?? Hope so!
May 16th, 2007 at 3:13 pmWhy do they insist on being Fox, Jr??
Is it time to call out the politically correct feminized police?

I dunno. Isn’t it time for your mom to call you from the basement, away from your ‘puter, and feed you your peanut butter sandwich, with a side of Kraft’s Mac and Cheese?
May 16th, 2007 at 3:13 pmHere TP,
I thought I’d help you with your headline.
Glenn Beck: Pathetic loser
There. Much better.
Ya’ll are welcome
May 16th, 2007 at 3:15 pmDRxJ,
Don’t knock PBnJ or MAc and Cheese dude! Them’s good eats!! :)
May 16th, 2007 at 3:16 pmfruity riechwingers talking about the feminization of our culture….laughable….they’re all girls
May 16th, 2007 at 3:26 pmright – everyone who opposes war and the bush administration is “weak†a “loser†“hates america†is “with the terrorists†or whatever other crap these people spew. It’s all garbage.

Hey thanks, dude. I knew we could count on you. Keep up the good work.
May 16th, 2007 at 3:35 pmThe good news is that CNN cares WAAAAY more about ratings and ad dollars than it does the future of Mr. Beck. Trust me. If we all ignore him, he will go away very quickly. As it is, his show is tanking… just walk away from him, and DO NOT contact CNN about him. Their attitude is that if people are getting riled up by Beck and writing in, then they must be watching and he must be doing his job.
May 16th, 2007 at 3:35 pmBeck is pathetic. If he is such a tough guy, why doesn’t he volunteer to go fight in Iraq. No, like most cowards, he wants others to do his fighting for him. The right wing is all alike. They just love to have other people die for their ideas, ideas they are unwilling to fight for themselves. Can you say “deferments?”
May 16th, 2007 at 3:36 pmHopefully – we’re ALL complaining to CNN?? Hope so!

I let them know several times how much I appreciate them for having Glenn on the network.
May 16th, 2007 at 3:38 pmThese chickenhawks are amazing. They talk like Rambo but would crap in their pants if they get anywhere near a battlefield. If Beck is so tough then he should get his butt over to Iraq. The surge is on Glennbo, Bushworld needs your help.
May 16th, 2007 at 3:39 pmBecause it’s not like 15% of troops in Iraq are women or anything. That’s, like, a surge.
May 16th, 2007 at 3:42 pmSuit up, Becky!
May 16th, 2007 at 3:42 pmjonny, I thought I slapped you down good yesterday. Stop telling us women how we cannot live without men. When you blah blah blah about women like this you are just telling us all how vewwy vewwy scared you are of us, and what a tiny tiny man you are. Go back to your porn and let the adults talk.
May 16th, 2007 at 3:58 pmBen Gleck, my 50+ year old sister or my 80+ years old mom could kick your ass. Go pray that they don’t ever get your home address.
May 16th, 2007 at 4:01 pmGlenn Dreck, self-cured alcoholic who chose his Mormon religion the way most people choose their phone provider. No wonder he loves the Prez.
I’d be happy if there was one left-wing commentator with his own show for every ten boobs like Glenn. His ratings are horrible too. Way to go, CNN!
May 16th, 2007 at 4:06 pmCome over here and say that, Wussy Boy.
I wouldn’t even have to touch you to make you cry, assh*le.
May 16th, 2007 at 4:14 pmBeck is such a tough-guy, for such an insecure wimp!! Caught this great study a while back and it speaks volumes to the chickenhawk homophobic mindset Beck personifies.

Men overcompensate when their masculinity is threatened, Cornell study shows
By Daniel Aloi
ITHACA, N.Y. — Threaten a man’s masculinity and he will assume more macho attitudes, according to a study by a Cornell University researcher.
“I found that if you made men more insecure about their masculinity, they displayed more homophobic attitudes, tended to support the Iraq War more and would be more willing to purchase an SUV over another type of vehicle,” said Robb Willer, a sociology doctoral candidate at Cornell. Willer is presenting his findings Aug. 15 at the American Sociological Association’s 100th annual meeting in Philadelphia.
“Masculine overcompensation is the idea that men who are insecure about their masculinity will behave in an extremely masculine way as compensation. I wanted to test this idea and also explore whether overcompensation could help explain some attitudes like support for war and animosity to homosexuals,” Willer said.
Willer administered a gender identity survey to a sample of male and female Cornell undergraduates in the fall of 2004. Participants were randomly assigned to receive feedback that their responses indicated either a masculine or a feminine identity. While women’s responses were unchanged regardless of the feedback they received, men’s reactions “were strongly affected by this feedback,” Willer said.
“Masculinity-threatened men also reported feeling more ashamed, guilty, upset and hostile than did masculinity-confirmed men,” states Willer’s report, “Overdoing Gender: Testing the Masculine Overcompensation Thesis.”
“The masculine overcompensation thesis has its roots in Freudian psychology, but it has become a popularly accepted idea that I felt should be empirically tested and evaluated,” Willer said.
He questioned subjects about their political attitudes, including how they felt about a same-sex marriage ban and their support for President Bush’s handling of the Iraq War.
“I created composites from subjects’ answers to these and other questions,” he said. “I also gave subjects a car-buying vignette, presented as part of a study of purchasing a new car.”
Masculinity-threatened participants also showed more interest in buying an SUV. “There were no increases for other types of cars,” Willer said.
The study produced “the predicted results,” he said. “The intention of the study was to explore whether masculine overcompensation exists and where. But the point isn’t to suggest these are the only factors that can explain these behaviors. Likewise, there may be a wide variety of other behaviors that could increase when men are concerned about their levels of masculinity.”
In a separate study, Willer verified that support for the Iraq War, homophobia and interest in purchasing an SUV were all considered masculine by study participants.
Willer said he and a colleague are planning additional research on subjects’ attitudes regarding violence toward women, using the same method for manipulating masculine insecurity.
“I’m planning another follow-up to the study that involves taking testosterone samples from participants to see if testosterone levels are a mediating factor in this process,” he added.
The research involved 111 Cornell undergraduates and was funded by the Department of Sociology at Cornell.
May 16th, 2007 at 4:27 pmGlenn, What happened to your canceled USO tour in Iraq? You really need to go. Someone may take you out of context and conclude you are a girlie fighter.
May 16th, 2007 at 4:37 pmWell we know how CNN feels about Americans now.
May 16th, 2007 at 4:38 pmMistress Z~
May 16th, 2007 at 4:39 pmI’d sell tickets to watch you plant a couple of well placed crotch kicks!~
It would take all of 10 seconds for my wife to put Glenn Beck in the hospital unconscious with her bare hands.
Why are all Neocons and Bush supporters such pussies? Can you tell me, jonny?
May 16th, 2007 at 4:41 pmYes indeed, we do need to restore the draft! The first batch of draftees will be the sons, daughters, nephews, nieces, grandsons, and granddaughters of MEMBERS of the HOUSE and of the SENATE and of the ADMINISTRATION. I can guarantee that the occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan will be over in ONE WEEK!!!!!
May 16th, 2007 at 4:41 pmSigned: A 69 year old veteran of 28 years active duty in the Air Force. I’ve seen the leaders and they suck! That general who got wounded the other day is the first general to come under fire since “Vinegar” Joe Stillwell in Burma in 1942! And Joe was doing some of the shooting!
Girl fighters? Maybe Glenn should meet Laila Ali (daughter of The Greatest) in the ring. She would make him her bitch in less than one round. Beck you are a punk. STFU.
May 16th, 2007 at 4:52 pmSome of the above comments have speculated that Beck fights like a girl. Please stop insulting all the good women of the world. Anyone fighting like Glenn Beck would be a gutless chickenhawk. I don’t think we need to disparage women in that way! Look at what happened to Imus.
May 16th, 2007 at 4:57 pmSure, Glen.
Get YOUR ass to Iraq.
Or are YOU a PATHETIC LOSER and GIRL FIGHTER???
Yup. Just like AWOLBoy “commander guy”, 5-deferment Cheney, etc…
See YOU in hell glen (cause I’LL be THERE),
May 16th, 2007 at 4:59 pmMr. Bush
MURDEROUS WAR CRIMINAL
COWARDLY TRAITOR TO THE USA (TM–BushCrimeCo, Inc.)
CNN Headline News is officially the Weekly World News of cable. What a piece of crap network. They knew this guy was a frigging idiot when they hired him.
May 16th, 2007 at 5:02 pmWell, We aren’t “weak and pathetic,” Bush on the other hand certainly is!
Going to war isn’t necessarily a sign of “strength” sometimes it is a sign of stupidity and arrogance.
May 16th, 2007 at 5:27 pmHeyooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
May 16th, 2007 at 5:27 pmIt is mystifying why CNN hired this Fox News reject.
May 16th, 2007 at 5:37 pmI teach high school. Girls fight for real. The boys tend to be pussy posers who are hoping the teacher will intervene asap. The girls, hell no. They could care less. Theirs are the ideological battles which pit the powers of “good” against the “evil doers” Give me the wannabe tough guys anyday of the week.
May 16th, 2007 at 6:03 pmShame on you Glen Beck. Revealing anti-military isolationists for what they are is not politically correct. Learn from history TP losers. Reagan brought down the threat of the Iron Curtain by strength……not by being girly men. Girly men thrive on this website. These are the same idiots that cried when Reagan revealed Star Wars. Russian leaders eventually admitted it was his policies that took the wind out of their sails…….oh yeah……libs don’t like history…I forgot.
May 16th, 2007 at 6:53 pm.
May 16th, 2007 at 7:30 pm.
In my defense I would like to make it clear I am suggesting he fights like a girl…………..not a woman……….agirl ;)
I’m John McCain and I approve of the new CNN
May 16th, 2007 at 8:08 pmYa lets see how he likes it if he comes face to face with a PTSD stricken female vet in a dark alley. Betcha he won’t think so lowly of “girl fighters” then.
May 16th, 2007 at 9:08 pmGlenn Beck is more clued in than 99% of the people posting here.
