Glenn Beck, Jonah Goldberg fantasize about violently cutting open Harry Reid’s stomach.
Glenn Beck, Jonah Goldberg fantasize about violently cutting open Harry Reid’s stomach.
Today on Glenn Beck’s radio show, right-wing columnist Jonah Goldberg and Beck railed against the bailout proposal and blamed congressional Democrats for creating the entire financial crisis. They gleefully joked about jailing Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA), putting him in stockades, and ripping apart Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV):
BECK: I can’t look at Barney Frank any more. I can’t take it.
GOLDBERG: I almost think he should be in jail! I almost think the guy should be in jail!
BECK: Oh I do too! I absolutely do. I think — honestly, I think we should have at least, bare minimum, we should have stockades in front of the Capitol building. Some of these people are out and out criminals on what they have done. [...]
GOLDBERG: It is an incredibly poisonous situation. You know in the middle ages, Harry Reid would have his stomach cut open and a half-starved weasel thrown in, for the kinds of things he’s doing. It’s outrageous!

Two of the most useless morons to ever get time in the media. Goldberg is an empty, fat, suit, and who the hell ever watches that moron Beck. Neither of these asshats should even have jobs.
September 30th, 2008 at 1:26 pmComing from people that have supported this Admin? Unbelievable what these people say.
September 30th, 2008 at 1:27 pmAren’t you glad that CNN tacitly supports Glenn Beck??
Our liberal *cough* media at work.
September 30th, 2008 at 1:27 pmSounds an awful lot like the O’Reilly rant on Fox. Probably both usng the same talking point.
September 30th, 2008 at 1:27 pmRemember the republican stratdgy of pinning your weaknesses on your opponent folks. It’s obivious that these asshats know the crisis is the direct fault of the republican party. period.
September 30th, 2008 at 1:29 pmjonah goldberg is the most perfect personification of a pseudo-intellectual.
September 30th, 2008 at 1:30 pmI think they just made a threat on a government official. Isn’t it time for the secret service to pay these fools a visit.
September 30th, 2008 at 1:30 pmtony and lido
I say we save that half-starved weasel for George Bush.
September 30th, 2008 at 1:31 pmso what is goldberg’s position on the bailout?
if he supports the bailout, then why is frank, reid or dodd the problem, and not the flip-flopping house gop?
September 30th, 2008 at 1:32 pmKay, I agree with you but if you look at Herr Beck’s ratings, he only gets the very lowest of the LIV audience. The same folks who still think pro rasslin’ is a real sport.
September 30th, 2008 at 1:32 pmYes, the GOP enablers should know what criminals look like. And if stockades are need for the criminals and cutting the stomach open is a fitting punishment for someone from the other side of the aisle who’s only trying to help the GOP out of its ditch, what, pray tell, is the fitting punishment for those in the GOP who created it? Death by hanging or just lifetime employment at the drive thru window. It would have to be death, since they’ve proven they can’t be trusted with money.
September 30th, 2008 at 1:36 pmGood thing these guys were on radio. Otherwise, we would have seen them rubbing their “naughty bits” while they fantasized together.
I wonder what the Secret Service would think of such threats against the Senate Majority Leader?

September 30th, 2008 at 1:37 pmBuck Feck.
September 30th, 2008 at 1:38 pmGoldberg. What an idiot. Calling him a pseudo-intellectual slanders pseudo-intellectuals the world over.
September 30th, 2008 at 1:38 pmOh, that doughy pantload… if only he could keep his spoon out
of a jar of mayonnaise for an afternoon, he could be just the half-starved weasel to do it!
but… alas. the force of the condiment is strong on this one.
poor poor …Mr. pantload.

Where is the FCC?
.
September 30th, 2008 at 1:40 pmIsn’t it grand to have these fools around to neuter constantly. It’s even better when they do it themselves..
While these hacks were off busy doing hack work, their champion chimpy (notice not even capitals anymore..) was off helping the Federal Reserve INJECT $ 630 BILLION into the financial markets with no vote, no Pelosi speeches to rail on, no Rick Cantor whining, no Boehner crying just nobody saying anything about the continuous LIES of chimpy’s world..
Here’s the link from Bloomberg:

September 30th, 2008 at 1:40 pmOn February 8th, 2005 Goldberg offered Juan Cole a wager of $1,000 “that Iraq won’t have a civil war, that it will have a viable constitution, and that a majority of Iraqis and Americans will, in two years time, agree that the war was worth it.
this truly encapsulates the mind of jonah goldberg on matters of american foreign policy and imperialism. he is the essence of someone who promotes wars, and yet refuses to fight in them, preferring to stay at home in front of his computer.
September 30th, 2008 at 1:40 pmSo Glenn Beck, the Mormon, has no problem with his guest suggesting the public killing of Harry Reid, another Mormon?
Hmmmm…better check Beck’s magic undies.
PEACE
September 30th, 2008 at 1:42 pmif he would be willing to let harry reid’s stomach be ripped open, can we force him to fight in iraq? he’s only 38 years old. i’m sure he’s got enough left in him.
September 30th, 2008 at 1:42 pmI’d not be upset to see BOTH their heads impaled on pikes, myself…
September 30th, 2008 at 1:45 pmbut prob’ly that’s just me, huh?

The doughy pantload don’t care…his mom’s good for it…
September 30th, 2008 at 1:46 pmGoldberg makes yet another embarassment in front of the goyim!
September 30th, 2008 at 1:46 pmI find it telling that these jerks are claiming that Barney Frank and Harry Reid are “criminals” and should be in jail (plus subjected to punitive measures popular centuries ago), but they do not describe in any way what criminal acts Frank and Reid are guilty of.
It’s page 12 of the GOP playbook — “call your opponent a criminal and do it often; people will only remember the conflation with ‘criminal’ and won’t think to ask what the alleged crime was.”
September 30th, 2008 at 1:47 pmIs this a political discussion? They sound more like two deranged terrorists savoring their violent thoughts of killing other human beings.
September 30th, 2008 at 1:48 pmMay Beck and Goldberg be
reincarnated as candelabras–
to hang by day
and burn by night!
September 30th, 2008 at 1:49 pmAmerican Psychos!
September 30th, 2008 at 1:50 pmLook, folks, let’s keep this in perspective.
At least they’re not vulgar commenters on a liberal blog.
After all, it’s the left that is anti-social. We all know that.
September 30th, 2008 at 1:50 pmGawd!
I never heard of a this sadist shyte.
repugs are just trying to start shyte so we can forget about their Einstein, plain.
After all the messes that are coming down on the repugs, past and present, one would think they would shut their stupidass mouths.

September 30th, 2008 at 1:53 pmIf you want a happy life.
Michael Moore had posed a question in one of his books:
“Why does the right hate?”
Remember, this was written when Conservatives had control of all three branches of government.
I have a theory. It’s because they hate this country and it’s left leading values. Use any poll, and the majority are pro-choice, pro health care for all, pro energy alternative to oil. Most believe in man made climate change and want to help alleviate it’s progression. Most would rather feed the poor in this country than be taxed for an occupation about oil. Most want our brave men and women to come home NOW, and serve their country here, not over seas due to lies.
This is why they have to steal elections to win. This is why they have such hatred, because even when they are in control, the country still leans left.
I’m proud to be a progressive, labeled as an “appeasing tree huggin’ librul”.
September 30th, 2008 at 1:55 pmThough I can be “moderate” with certain issues, I will always lean LEFT (Heh!), just like the MAJORITY of MY COUNTRY!
BECK: Oh I do too! I absolutely do. I think — honestly, I think we should have at least, bare minimum, we should have stockades in front of the Capitol building. Some of these people are out and out criminals on what they have done. […]
If he weren’t a fascist, shit-for-brains mormon nazi, Beck might have known there was a difference between a “stockade” and “stocks”.
But that would mean he’d have had to actually think and read, and EVERYBODY knows that if it goes beyond two sentence, Beck is incapable of comprehending ANY written document…

so what is goldberg’s position on the bailout?

_______________________________________________________
Page 1, paragraph 1 of the GOP playbook — “It’s ALWAYS the Democrats’ fault whenever anything goes wrong, and it’s ALWAYS due to GOP brilliance whenever anything goes right.”
September 30th, 2008 at 1:56 pmI still cannot fathom why CNN still gives this low rated fascist moron his own show.
September 30th, 2008 at 1:56 pmWhen he was given his show is when I stopped watching CNN altogether. Why Should I watch a FOX wannabe network, when i don’t even watch FOX?
Looks as discourses of Hitler against jews for “hoarding the gold of hard working germans”. Same pattern, same hate, same side of the aisle.
September 30th, 2008 at 1:56 pmBTW — I can listen and look at Sen. Frank all day long. He’s very interesting.
September 30th, 2008 at 1:58 pmWhere do I begin?
These two turds have the balls to criticize the Dems when it is their party, their president who has presided over this mess.
When radio callers get past the screener and say outrageous things on the air, it’s bad enough, but when the hosts engage in that kind of talk, it is time for them to pay the price.
Yet they are among the first to complain that liberal radio is full of hate and violence — WTF? This, in the face of the relentless hatefilled speech that emanates from RW radio.
When is CNN going to drop this loser, Beck?
September 30th, 2008 at 2:03 pmWhen will the Tribune drop this loser, Goldberg.
Interesting, isn’t it?
That these two buffoons can broadcast intended violence during prime time, and not get reprimanded.
First, where is the outrage, like (and justifiably so) when 90210 showed intended oral sex during 8pm?
Oh that’s right. Violence = good. Sex = bad.
Second, had Al Franken or Keith Olbermann used such graphic language of violence for congressman on the right, the repercussions from the media would be never ending, until their careers where done.
Oh sure, the two idiots will eventually come out and say they were just joking, it wall done in humor.
September 30th, 2008 at 2:10 pmIronic thing is, it’s not funny (just like the CONservative party)
That exchange is completely obtuse.
What are their positions exactly? Pro Bailout, which would mean that they are going against the populist horde that they try to claim they represent, or against the bailout which is what the Republican majority and Democratic minority represent.
The dialogue seems to suggest that they are pro bailout. Which would make them on the side of Barney Frank and Harry Reid??!!! But pissed because they couldn’t muster enough votes????
Sounds like they can’t make up their minds either way. One thing that is clear is they clearly DO represent a fracturing Republican party.
THE EVISCERATING DIALOGUE IS TOTALLY IMMATURE (WHAT IS THE POINT?).
September 30th, 2008 at 2:13 pmBoth of these turds deserve a little time travel, back to say, 1432?
September 30th, 2008 at 2:14 pmAnd now churches have entered the fray. While the MSM dissected Rev. Wright, conservative churches are preaching from the pulpit.
Where’s the IRS? Indicting immigrant workers, no doubt.
Beck, Goldberg, O’Hanlon, et al are cancervatives. They spread their shit like a disease, which is communicable due to low intelligence viewers.
Stop the disease today…vote for Obama!
September 30th, 2008 at 2:16 pmJonah is very ‘liberal’ with his love of ‘fascism’…
September 30th, 2008 at 2:20 pmcancervatives — I like that.
September 30th, 2008 at 2:21 pmVery fitting.
With those kind of comments from these two blowhards you have to wonder what kind of DVD’s and magazines they have hidden away????
What kind of sick and twisted dreams do these sickos have???
Do the get all tingly imagining all kinds of barbarian tortures???
Did they like torturing small animals and birds??
How about Ants, bet they love to this day burning ants with magnifying glasses.
And Glenn Shumk the Phuck has a show on CNN, guess that is why I don’t watch that channel anymore.
September 30th, 2008 at 2:26 pmBeck and Goldberg should have their tounges cut and removed from their mouths and fed to the largest rat we can find.
September 30th, 2008 at 2:33 pmFick Sucks.
September 30th, 2008 at 2:45 pmTittie boy Goldberg would be a stock boy at Borders if it wasn’t for his mommy. He has strived for academic recognition all his miserable career, to no avail. He is the laughing stock of even conservative thinkers.
September 30th, 2008 at 2:46 pmPerhaps his tough talk is a pivot. Maybe he wants to be a tough guy wingnut, like the paunchy drunk O’Reilly, or the waste of space Fats Limbaugh.
I think he is a natural for challenging Kristol for King Fool of punditry. He is stupid enough and is a legacy. He just needs the government thingy on his resume. Maybe Palin would be stupid enough to make him Chief of Staff? Naw….
Wonder what Jonah Doughboy thinks of the ridicule his own NRO buddies are heaping on Boehner et al for their “Nancy made us cry” whining after the House Republican leadership couldn’t deliver the votes for their president. Sounds like this vitriol is designed to rev up the mushrooms who listen to this garbage so they don’t strain their feeble brains wondering about why the Republicans are in complete disarray.
September 30th, 2008 at 2:50 pmIn todays American society the Jews and Republicans have become the German Nazis of WW2
The Democrats and Moslems have become the Jews who are to persecuted.
As I view the situation and roam the right wing web forums, I fear for our country and for the future of our families and children. I am ready to defend our country if they continue to push and this turns worse. Am I going crazy or is this reality?
Dr. Lawrence Britt has examined the fascist regimes of Hitler (Germany), Mussolini (Italy), Franco (Spain), Suharto (Indonesia) and several Latin American regimes. Britt found 14 defining characteristics common to each:
1. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism – Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.
2. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights – Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of “need.” The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.
3. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause – The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.
4. Supremacy of the Military – Even when there are widespread
domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.
5. Rampant Sexism – The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Divorce, abortion and homosexuality are suppressed and the state is represented as the ultimate guardian of the family institution.
6. Controlled Mass Media – Sometimes to media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.
7. Obsession with National Security – Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.
8. Religion and Government are Intertwined – Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government’s policies or actions.
9. Corporate Power is Protected – The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.
10. Labor Power is Suppressed – Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed.
11. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts – Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts and letters is openly attacked.
12. Obsession with Crime and Punishment – Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.
13. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption – Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.
14. Fraudulent Elections – Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.
September 30th, 2008 at 2:56 pmI am tempted to just listen to Beck on CNN to discover what kinds of companies willingly pay money to place ads on his show. If I owned a business and heard:
“GOLDBERG: It is an incredibly poisonous situation. You know in the middle ages, Harry Reid would have his stomach cut open and a half-starved weasel thrown in, for the kinds of things he’s doing. It’s outrageous!”
BECK: Thanks, Jonah. And now for all those people who want to buy a car, I personally recommend Happy Al’s Used Cars. You can trust what Al says about his cars just like you trust what I say about the news….
Wow…
Imagine the kind of business Al is going to get after this kind of intro.
September 30th, 2008 at 3:06 pmWow, now that’s some substantive journalism right there.
September 30th, 2008 at 3:07 pmJonah Goldberg missed his calling as a member of the Spanish Inquisition and Star Chamber. I bet Glenn Beck will have to go to the spiritual leader of the Mormon church to have him write a “get into heaven” guarantee for the Senator, just like the Papacy used to do in the bad old days.
September 30th, 2008 at 3:14 pmThe middle ages is where the gop wants to take us. Why are they so fond of the past, big shots were kings and the rest were peons….right down the gop’s alley.
September 30th, 2008 at 3:20 pmAnd yet the same guys go on and on about how vile and hateful the “far left” is based upon some irrelevant anonymous blog posters.
And despite the fact all blogs whatever the topic or whatever the political leanings, no matter how well moderated contain some of the most hateful comments you will ever hear or read. Thats just the nature of blogs. People use them to blow of steam.
Whereas these guys are high profile influential rightwingers. They know a lot of people take their word as gospel so they should be damn careful what they say and write publicly.
September 30th, 2008 at 3:22 pmWell, Goldberg & Beck didn’t say any naughty words, and they were probably wearing their flag pins, so it’s ok.
September 30th, 2008 at 3:30 pm/sarc
The past is where the GOP’ers love to live as racism went unchecked and unquestioned, justice was what most individuals made of it and women were to be seen and not heard. Plus greed was basically a rule of law as money was made exploiting and walking on the backs of the poorer workers.
So it is clearly obvious why Glenn and Jonah want to return the U.S. to the bad old days, because they are dominated by women, minorities and in their opinions economic laws that should be abolished back to 19th century standards.
September 30th, 2008 at 3:37 pmI think that this is horrible. These two men actually are calling for the imprisonment of Barney Frank and the torture of Harry Reid? FOR WHAT? Because the Republicans couldn’t manage to get enough votes to pass the president’s legislation? Why in the hell does CNN keep Beck on the air? May I have my own show on CNN so that I can express my hatred for Republicans?
September 30th, 2008 at 3:56 pmNice to see that the FCC will only step in as puritans if you say anything remotely sexual and let this hate mongering to continue.
BTW, interesting how the right wing nuts are trying to switch blame to the dems for the right-wing free-market methods!!
September 30th, 2008 at 4:13 pmInteresting.
After watching those two “interact”, I just assumed that their fantasy was discovering each other in Minnesota airport bathroom stalls.
September 30th, 2008 at 4:19 pmHmmm, this thread is strangely lacking the reich-wing trolls. I guess there are things not even their addled can spin support for.
And I guess it is time to send the clip of these two to the Secret Service.
September 30th, 2008 at 4:39 pmAarg. Should be
…addled SWEWING can…
funny I messed up at that point :-0. That should give the trolls something to cling to.
September 30th, 2008 at 4:41 pmCrap, SPEWING
Time for more coffee.
September 30th, 2008 at 4:42 pmBoth Beck and Goldberg laughed when told the American public wants to hang them on the Washington Mall.
September 30th, 2008 at 5:01 pmLet’s not forget that momma Lucianne Goldberg used fake ID to lie her way on to the George McGovern campaign where she proceeded to carry out dirty tricks and report secretly back to the Nixon campaign – that’s right, Jonah Goldberg’s mother cheated to help Nixon win. Being an a-hole is in Jonah’s blood.
September 30th, 2008 at 5:09 pmtypical fascistic fantasy. interestingly, they get to broadcast theirs throughout the echochamber and into homes. and, no, i don’t think you’re going crazy patriot21. we probably all know people who would answer their leaders’ calls for violence against “democrats” and “liberals” and “atheists” and “secularists” and “environmentalists” and assorted “traitors” to their cause.
beck and goldberg are stirring the authoritarian follower pot.
September 30th, 2008 at 5:17 pmHaven’t we learned anything yet?
The word “dissent” or any variation of, does not exist in the GOP lexicon. They talk about free speech, but do not support it unless you agree with what they say.
They encourage violence, stalking, malice, censorship, outright lying and any misrepresentation of facts to get most of their key points across. The freedom of expression of facts is what they call the “liberal media”, because they don’t want you or their party members hearing what the other side has to say.
They also talk about fascism, totalitarian regimes, authoritarians, theocracies, communism and socialism as the great evils but now the GOP represents most or all of these forms. The Republicans belief of the need to abolish certain forms between church and state is not meant to threaten the Constitution, by their statements. But they do not understand the founding fathers beliefs anymore with thoughts such as these and are so out of touch with regular Americans, that they have to find just about every radical view to support that goes against most practical thought.
September 30th, 2008 at 6:06 pmGoldberg and Beck wouldn’t make even it as “Fluffers’ in the real world!
September 30th, 2008 at 6:09 pmAnn Coulter happens to be busy, however.
September 30th, 2008 at 8:14 pm
