Beck: All bloggers ‘live in their mom’s basement.’
Yesterday, GQ writer Ben Wallace, who recently wrote a profile on Glenn Beck, told the CNN Headline News host that he was “good at pushing the buttons of a certain, you know, set of bloggers, and so.” Beck responding by dismissing bloggers: “I mean, they all live in their mom’s basement anyway, so what difference does that make?” Watch it:

If the gloves weren’t off before….they sure as hell are now.
I gotta bet that ‘ol Glenn has a skeleton or two in his closet. Perhaps it about time they come roaring out.
August 22nd, 2007 at 5:12 pmBeats the hell out of living in the closet Glenda,, Bwahahahahaaa
August 22nd, 2007 at 5:15 pmI live in my sister’s basement, thank you very much.
And when did Beck move out of his dad’s bakery shop?
August 22nd, 2007 at 5:16 pmGiven those massive jowls of his it would appear that he must regularly frequents that locale and partake in the jelly-filled…
Whoah that’s why it’s so dark here. Hey Glen, what’s the smell in here? Can you tell me?
August 22nd, 2007 at 5:17 pmYou can always tell when conservative republicans are in petrified fear of the influence of any given liberal when their hatred, anger and focus becomes intensely focused on their target.
Blogs and Hillary are their main focus now. Why? Cause cons know they are genuine and real threats to their power base.
If they didn’t think so, they wouldn’t be bothered.
August 22nd, 2007 at 5:17 pmAnother thing is that all conservative sources and pundits become in synch with verbatim hatred for their target.
Conservatives are so transparent.
August 22nd, 2007 at 5:19 pmIf there was ever proof that the media is a willing and complicit partner in the destruction of America, just try to watch this tool’s show. And watch CNN interview Beyonce live about her YouTube moment instead of covering the real news.
August 22nd, 2007 at 5:19 pmWho’s this turd, anyway? Glen Beck? another Naziboy wannabe, busy avoiding service in Iraq? what a tough muffin he is.
August 22nd, 2007 at 5:19 pmOpen thread. This is an irrelevant person.
August 22nd, 2007 at 5:24 pmDespite his role as a generally lower tier conservative talk show host, Bech hit the nail on the head. Bloggers–the majority of whom are libtards and progressive ideologues–HAVE to live in the basement of their mom’s house. This stereotype does bear out when one looks at the way that libtards and progtards live their emotional, radicalized and ideological lives. Living in one’s mom’s basement brings with it the connotations of poverty, being unambitious, lacking education, lacking a social life, and being unwashed. All these traits belong exclusively to the libtards and progtards that visit these hate-sites like TP and post the whole day long. It just goes to logic. Since bloggers and these progressive posters on sites like this can sit behind their PCs the whole day doing nothing but fueling their paranoia, it stands to reason they will be unwashed, have no social life, have no job, have no girlfriends, and ultimately end up relying on mom.
August 22nd, 2007 at 5:24 pmBeck is an extremely stupid fascist jerk, so who cares what he spews about anything. Before Beck got his job at CNN he lived under a bridge.
August 22nd, 2007 at 5:25 pmWell we’re doin something right if Ben Gleck is pissed about it.
Change your underwear when it’s wet Ben.
August 22nd, 2007 at 5:25 pmI agree, Juan.
My mom doesn’t even have a basement. :)
August 22nd, 2007 at 5:25 pmAnd they still have bigger audiences than ‘wingnut-affirmative-action baby Glenn.
August 22nd, 2007 at 5:26 pmFeck Beck. I blog from my 4th floor apartment in Paris.

I know you may have something interesting to say, but I stop reading at the first sentence. Sorry.
August 22nd, 2007 at 5:26 pmNotice all the recent attacks from the right-wing pundits over blogs lately??? They are TERRIFIED of the blogs despite their constant attempts to diminish them. They know they are being watched now. They know every lie or racist remark they make will be spread throughout the internet, sent to their advertisers, etc.
The blogs have improved democracy for the average joe, and that terrifies the paid corporate propagandists.
August 22nd, 2007 at 5:27 pmMy mom doesn’t even have a basement. :)

We dont have basements in the cities. :)
August 22nd, 2007 at 5:27 pmPost 10 lol > you GOPer creeps never take bathes, and are ugly as sin, so that is why you creeps troll for BJs in public restrooms.
August 22nd, 2007 at 5:27 pmSince bloggers and these progressive posters on sites like this can sit behind their PCs the whole day doing nothing but fueling their paranoia, it stands to reason they will be unwashed, have no social life, have no job, have no girlfriends, and ultimately end up relying on mom.

Sit behind PC all day - nope
Fuel paranoia - nope
Showered - yep
Social life - yep
Job - nope (student)
Girlfriend - nope (I’m female)
Rely on mom - only for Thanksgiving dinner
No doing too well, are ya Hater?
August 22nd, 2007 at 5:29 pmWhy take the bait?
Why give someone like Glenn Beck any of the attention he craves? This is obviously a ploy to get our panties in a bunch. Don’t reward him by blogging about his ill-informed bullying.
August 22nd, 2007 at 5:29 pmBeck would like to live in his mom’s basement seps fur one little fact………………………………his mommy commited suicide
August 22nd, 2007 at 5:29 pmComment by Hate-siteusersliveinmomsbasementtoo hey idiot- Libtard here makes 165K a year, owns 3 houses, drives a corvette, and a new Jeep when it rains, daughter is in Mount Holyoke at the cost of 36K a year and don’t know if my mom even has a basement.
You are the loser bud.
August 22nd, 2007 at 5:36 pmBetter a basement that the howling emptiness that is Beck’s own head.
Remember what Ghandi said:
First they ignore you,
then they laugh at you,
then they fight you,
then you win.
I read Beck and I smell fear.
August 22nd, 2007 at 5:38 pmbut it’s a finished basement…
August 22nd, 2007 at 5:38 pmI blog from my loft in Manhattan.
So, Glenn’s a liar.
Booyah.
Go Bloggers!

…
August 22nd, 2007 at 5:39 pmIt’s all about Nielsen ratings for Beck. His are in the toilet so the more outrageous he is, the better chance of getting some gawking morons to latch onto him. It’s sad, really, because after Beck is cancelled he’ll have to rtreat to his Mom’s basement and continue what passes for his career.
August 22nd, 2007 at 5:39 pmMy Mom’s basement is a gym/laundry room.
Im not that neat or buff to say that I “live” there

This libtard is probably to seek a loan from Buck. 165k way to go.
I own one house my wife is an attorney and I’m a high school social studies teacher my daughter is 1 with another child on the way I own my house in Minneapolis and I don’t live with my parents as they are Republicans.
August 22nd, 2007 at 5:42 pmI’m glad my rich-ass mom has her basement in this giant house on top of the tallest hill in town.
August 22nd, 2007 at 5:43 pmLittle does he know……..I live in HIS basement. Be afraid Glenn, be very afraid.
August 22nd, 2007 at 5:43 pmBy the way, did anyone catch CNN’s report this morning about “Jihad on the Web”. Evidently, it’s a “clear and present danger”. They are starting to frame the argument for government control of blogs. Watch how this develops–right up until they have the ability to shut down any site or blog they want.
August 22nd, 2007 at 5:44 pmI’m not a fighting man…but that guy needs a beatin’

Like dad always said, I’m a lover, not a fighter, so I knife ‘em quick to get it over with.
August 22nd, 2007 at 5:45 pmI don’t have a basement. Do I need to get one in order to post here? Should I apologize to whoever this clown is because I own my home? Is it forbidden to me? Did I miss a memo? Help!
August 22nd, 2007 at 5:47 pmPoor Glen Beck - he and BillO are getting loonier by the minute.
August 22nd, 2007 at 5:48 pmOops, gotta go. Mom’s home.
August 22nd, 2007 at 5:50 pmthe thing is his ratings are dropping so he is trying to make sure people notice him because if they stop noticing him he will be cancelled and a new 3 hour time slot opens up for a new host.
August 22nd, 2007 at 5:50 pmMy basement has a pool table room, TV entertainment area, ping pong table, gym equipment workout area, workshop room, and storage room. No bedroom in the basement Beck, so I do not sleep there.
August 22nd, 2007 at 5:51 pmSounds like SOMEBODY had his wittle feewings hurt by the MIGHTY blogosphere!
August 22nd, 2007 at 5:53 pmYes post 40 > we know you are a young GOPer who uses your mom’s PC while she is at work.
August 22nd, 2007 at 5:53 pmI have raccoons in my basement.
Nearest I can tell, they don’t blog.
But I’ll bet that’s where my bandwith is going.
August 22nd, 2007 at 5:54 pmFeck Beck. I blog from my 4th floor apartment in Paris.
Comment by Omyword! — August 22, 2007 @ 5:26 pm
August 22nd, 2007 at 5:58 pmI’m the Mom and all the kids have their own homes, but one. She just get back from Afghanistan and has her own apartment. I guess some people talk to hear themselves talk without knowing anything. I sure hope the White House is paying him enough money if not he should ask for more.
August 22nd, 2007 at 5:58 pmI make more than he does… out of my basement!
August 22nd, 2007 at 5:59 pm“I mean, they all live in their mom’s basement anyway, so what difference does that make?â€
Is this really a very adult way to respond to a question?
August 22nd, 2007 at 6:00 pmwhat a fu(king loser.
Fresh air and sunshine from where I blog.
August 22nd, 2007 at 6:01 pmIf basement equals ocean view property in southern california he’s got me dead to rights…Beck it hurts when you cut to the quick…
In all seriousness I think the MSM needs a narrative that bloggers are like Shatner’s Trekies living in the basement and needing a life. If that isn’t the narrative they shiver. What happens if the idea of a blogger turns into electronic Pamphleteers, modern day Thomas Paines, citizen activists? That is not at all what they want bloggers viewed as, that is dangerous to their very livelihood and importance.
August 22nd, 2007 at 6:03 pmBeck is rather lame and corny. He is a cheap imitation of the lifeless sacks of feces on FauxNoise. He only exists to make the rest of CNN look progressive or center by comparison. Don’t fall for it.
Beck’s ONLY PURPOSE is to be a lightning rod for CNN, so the rest of their anchors (who spew nothing but WH talking points and propaganda) look “normal”. They are all one in the same. Paid professional propagandists. I turned to CNN one night and from how they were “reporting” you would think there are only allCIAduh in Iraq and no more insurgents. *gags*
Do not watch tv news unless you want to know what propaganda they are feeding the masses. That is its only useful purpose. Cross reference everything they say with online sources to verify its validity.
August 22nd, 2007 at 6:07 pmAll bloggers ‘live in their mom’s basement
Isn’t this a slam to ALL folks even the idiots that followed him until this comment?
August 22nd, 2007 at 6:07 pmthis wasnt even the worst thing he said last night.
he said new orleans shouldnt be rebuilt. read more at my blog here :

August 22nd, 2007 at 6:08 pmOh, and did I mention Glenn’s Bella hardwood floors that he purchased from Lumber Liquidators rock?!? You can actually roller blade on them when his family is out! Oh, and that MY PC.com thing? You CAN access his desktop from anywhere!!! That guy really knows how to sell a product. Thanks for letting me stay in your basement buddy!
August 22nd, 2007 at 6:08 pmhey Glenn, we’d live in your mother’s basement, but I heard it’s dirty down there.
August 22nd, 2007 at 6:11 pmBeck is debasement.
August 22nd, 2007 at 6:12 pmI think Beck is confusing bloggers with freepers most of whom live either in their mothers basement or in a near by trailer park.
August 22nd, 2007 at 6:14 pmBeck was just saying the facts as he knows them.
Think about it folks.
All Beck hangs out with is neocons, therefore, the only bloggers he knows, are neocon bloggers (trolls). Since we know all trolls live in their moms basement then Beck was just speaking from his own experience.
August 22nd, 2007 at 6:14 pmOh yea, and Becks a dick.
August 22nd, 2007 at 6:16 pmGee, my mom would be really surprised to find me in my her basement since I haven’t lived at home since I was 18.
Beck is an idiot and I am amazed that anyone listens to him.
August 22nd, 2007 at 6:25 pmit stands to reason they will be unwashed, have no social life, have no job, have no girlfriends, and ultimately end up relying on mom.

August 22nd, 2007 at 6:25 pmSo, first they want to say that liberal blogs are funded by multi-billionaires and the “liberal media”. Then they want to say bloggers live in their mom’s basement. So which is it?
August 22nd, 2007 at 6:26 pmMy mom doesn’t even have a basement. :)

You bet they are. They saw how much the blogs influenced the election in 2006 and they are terrified of what they will do in 2008.
I like it that they are terrified of us. Feel free to fling mud Beck, it will only come back to bite you in the butt.
Besides, it’s only our resident re-tard trolls who live in their mommy’s basement. All of us “libtards” have jobs and families and have long since left the nest.

Interesting. I used to post regularly on Huffingtonpost.com, but they had a couple of trolls on at any hour day or night. I seriously had to wonder if that was their job, just to disrupt and distract. Don’t get me wrong, I love debate. But “heyoooooooooo moonbats” is not cogent debate.
August 22nd, 2007 at 6:31 pmThank you, Zooey… it’s the lighting here in my grotto… :)
August 22nd, 2007 at 6:34 pmBeck, some of us ARE moms. And don’t HAVE basements….

AWWW! You have met our distinguished Wackjob, mr p/sonny/mark/et al. He is the poster child for Beck’s comment. What he forgot, was to mention the Cheeto-stained keyboard, the massive pile of Mountain Dew cans and the cloying smell of meth mouth coming from his hobbit hole.
August 22nd, 2007 at 6:43 pmbetter they should live in mom’s basement than sleep with her, like Beck does.
August 22nd, 2007 at 6:51 pmA “parents’ basement” joke? Really? That one was old when Weird Al used it in “It’s All About the Pentiums”…in 1999.

August 22nd, 2007 at 7:11 pmWhen did Liberal start to mean “I can say whatever I want but others can’t.”?
It seems to me like liberal bloggers are just as offensive and crude as conservative talk show hosts.

Comment by El Chon — August 22, 2007 @ 7:13 pm
offensive and crude?
OFFENSIVE AND CRUDE???
You ain’t even seen offensive and crude.
Check out Drugde, O’Reilly or any of the other red state blogs, and get your full measure of offensive and crude.
The trolls get smacked with offensive and crude regularly, but they seem to enjoy it, kinda like a masochistic frenzy for them.
August 22nd, 2007 at 7:27 pmRepublicans show over and over again that they’ll do anything to get their way, regardless of ethics, morality, legality, etc. “Playing by the rules” is a thing of the past.
August 22nd, 2007 at 7:28 pmCNN continues to tarnish their own reputation by continuing to host Beck. The network likely thinks that Beck “engenders controversy” and so is broadcast-worthy. In fact, Beck is a living example of the moral and intellectual bankruptcy of the CNN news organization. Rather than engender controversy Beck engenders disgust at CNN and pity on those reputable journalists still working for the network.
August 22nd, 2007 at 7:43 pmBeck has the shittiest ratings on CNN, so why do they keep him?
It obviously isn’t a business decision, as networks live, breathe and die on ratings.
Maybe someone at Time Warner is doing their best to try and one-up Fake News?
August 22nd, 2007 at 7:56 pmBeck is wrong, again. I blog upstairs so my mom can keep an eye on me…
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:01 pmThe progressive blogosphere should be happy. You know you’re doing the right things when the conservative blowhard machine starts attacking you.
Bush&Co ALWAYS attack those who are the most dangerous to them. Always. The stronger the attack, the more dangerous the entity. Look at Wilson/Plame, look at any ex-Bushie who criticizes them once they’ve left. The most trustworthy are attacked by calling them the least trustworthy.
Have you noticed just how much bloggers are being villianized by the right these days? How much and how vehemently did they attack YearlyKos? MediaMatters? The right-wing blowhards are attacking bloggers more and more.
It is a sign of something good!

It’s used regularly by libs here. That’s probably why he said it and it obviously had its intended effect. ;)
August 22nd, 2007 at 11:20 pmBeck is a down-filled dunderhead.
August 23rd, 2007 at 12:24 amOh bullshit. My Mom doesn’t have a basement. I blog from the kitchen…from the living room…from the bedroom…everywhere but the bathroom.
August 23rd, 2007 at 12:50 amEven the Right’s personal attacks are getting lame. You can tell they know they’re screwed.
August 23rd, 2007 at 7:34 amYou have to forgive Beck. He is just angry because we don’t waste our days watching him on our TeeVees, and he is jealous because we know how to read.
August 23rd, 2007 at 7:37 amTake a look at the profiles of the rejects,er.. members of FreeRepublic.
August 23rd, 2007 at 8:09 amNuff said.
Beck is clearly worried that his world might be falling apart. Bloggers challenge the traditional media. I would say that the traditional media has nothing to worry about as they are balanced and blogs aren’t but recently….well, I don’t know
August 23rd, 2007 at 9:54 amWhat does it say about Beck if he’s getting his head handed to him by a bunch of social outcasts living in their mother’s basement?
August 23rd, 2007 at 10:02 amThese overpaid glib pundits needs to go. I can no longer stomach their asinine mentality or childlike behavior.
August 23rd, 2007 at 10:19 amOh come on… If you’ve never heard that phrase before then you must be new to the internets… Beck is full of crap but at least he’s been on teh webs before. Does he have a Fark account?
August 23rd, 2007 at 10:44 amHaha, yeah right. I’m an investment banker on Wall Street, I make more money than he does.
August 23rd, 2007 at 10:48 amAs a blogger, I found his joke to be funny, but even if I didn’t, I can’t imagine why anybody would be so pissed off about it. Unless they were actually living in their mom’s basement.
August 23rd, 2007 at 10:49 amI took Beck’s comment as a compliment!
August 23rd, 2007 at 10:53 amBeck is the man!!! He might be wrong on this one but he usually gets it right.
August 23rd, 2007 at 11:14 amI blog from hotel rooms nation wide, much better than a dark newsroom. As far as conservatives go, they no longer have content to speak about. Just attempt to listen to Rush. You’ll know what mean.
August 23rd, 2007 at 11:18 amI consider myself a very liberal Democrat. So what if I believe the United States should be a Socialist State. People need a big government with lots of programs to take care of them. What is so wrong with that? Liberal bloggers live everywhere, and yes, many of us may live with our family members. Again, so what?
August 23rd, 2007 at 11:40 amoh come on. he makes one snide comment and you guys get all “I’ma knife him” “conservatives are so transparent”…you guys are getting a little defensive over a non-news story
August 23rd, 2007 at 11:54 amHe’s just afraid that his livelihood is at risk because someone with a computer and an internet connection can draw half his viewership for free.
August 23rd, 2007 at 12:01 pmI dunno, this doesnt look like my mother’s basement

August 23rd, 2007 at 12:26 pmIgnorant statements like this are reason Glenn Beck’s show is less popular than the Ice Trucker reality show on the History Channel. But you can’t expect him to say nice things when he doesn’t have his Ritalin.
August 23rd, 2007 at 12:30 pmWell euhm. Some of these bloggers are definately living in their mom’s basement. But that doesn’t mean that they’re unable to make solid arguement. Beck is only stipulating how he’s doing very well thanks to all the wealthy businessmen he helps with his propaganda while ‘bloggers’ as he sees them have nothing to win or lose at all, all they have (like Beck) is an opinion. Only, the bloggers actually make sensible points where Beck is either full of lies, stupid, nuts or all three. Consider a blogger from Iraq. He might live in his mom’s basement. Does that mean he can’t teach Beck a thing or 3 about the situation on the ground? Probably EVER blogger can teach Beck a thing or 3 about the situation on the ground in his home town and country, well, with Beck having his head up his own behind and all….

August 23rd, 2007 at 1:16 pmThis is great! I love Glenn Beck! Someone that’s not afraid to speak his mind. I love how bloggers take this so seriously. We live in a pathetic oversensitive society.
August 23rd, 2007 at 1:35 pmLet’s start an “I Blog From” campaign. Idiots like Beck have NO CLUE!
I Blog From My Loft Overlooking Manhattan’s Skyline
Where do you blog from?
August 23rd, 2007 at 1:46 pmYou are all a bunch of nut cases. You may not specifically live in your mom’s basement, but you are a bunch of angry, paranoid, hippy idiots.
August 23rd, 2007 at 1:58 pmI wish I were blogging from a basement. Blogging from Iraq is not quite as friendly.
August 23rd, 2007 at 2:50 pmInterestingly enough another political commentator who is a conservative and evangelical is one of the biggest advocates of blogging and really helped bring awareness of the medium to a wider audience.
Speaking of Hugh Hewitt.

Glen Becks comments do not mean that much? Then why the hell has so many of you idiots comment about him. It is easy to push the buttons of the ignorant. Better stop now. Watch Glen Beck, push your left wing agenda aside for a second and find out that things that he says are truthful. Open minds defend closed hearts.

August 24th, 2007 at 10:48 pmJust a few thoughts to talk about instead of whoever is delivering the Idea:
The freedom of speech that America gave the world is almost dead. Due to fears of offending someone and getting fired or sued( I myself try and answer all questions in the workplace with yes, no or I don’t know)
Iraq needs 800,000 Armed People of character to support the American Initiative there. ( I’ll Volunteer if I could be of use, though I’m a little old for it, in the endevoure once througholy planned)
The World is probably warming and we probably won’t be able to stop it . How should we best proceed to ensure Human continuance with the least amount of horror?
