Mediaite Joins Daily Kos In Blaming Glenn Beck For Causing Violence

Mediaite is the new website created by MSNBC left-winger Dan Abrams that covers media related gossip, etc. So far, the site has been pretty fair but I guess it was only a matter of time until it devolved into yet another dishonest, progressive cesspool.

Proof of this comes from a phony story by Steve Krakauer with the blaring headline “Tipping Point? Glenn Beck Fan Arrested With Guns and Ammo.”

The NY Post is reporting that a single mother was arrested with guns and ammo in her car for allegedly scouting out and taking pictures of an Air National Guard base in the Hamptons.

Not surprisingly, the nutty left wingers at Daily Kos went to work scouring the woman’s background looking for some kind link to right-wing “extremism.”

Low and behold they discover on her MySpace page that she’s a fan of Glenn Beck! Ha! There’s the connection! She posted a clip of Glenn Beck on her Myspace page which obviously means Glenn is to blame.

As someone who’s never missed an episode of Glenn Beck since he came to Fox News, I don’t recall him ever advocating violence or implying that he was advocating for violence against anyone.

Furthermore, Glenn Beck has done nothing but praise military and law enforcement and often has them as guests on his show.

It’s complete lunacy to suggest that anything Glenn Beck has ever said would drive someone to case a military base and plot violence.

Making that kind of phony connection is something to be expected from the scumbags at Daily Kos. They’ll say anything and make up anything to further their destructive progressive agenda.

I just find it disappointing that Mediaite decided to run with the phony Kos narrative and pretend as if it’s a legitimate issue.

Steve Krakauer really is a sleazy asshole for writing such a pathetic story. He talks about Glenn Beck’s “dangerous side” like when he called Obama a racist last week. It’s apparently fine for the left to call anyone on the right a racist for anything at anytime, but to call the president a racist — that’s dangerous talk.

Krakauer goes on to label the woman arrested as a “deranged Beck viewer” which is laughable. How do we know she wasn’t a deranged “Oprah” viewer? Maybe a deranged “American Idol” viewer? Or how about a deranged “24” viewer?

The truth is that Krakauer and his Kos buddies can’t stand the fact that Fox News exists. If it weren’t for Fox, Obama’s plans to turn America into a socialist utopia would go completely unchallenged.

Beck, O’Reilly, Hannity, and a few others are the sole voices of opposition in an otherwise compliant Obama media.

The rank hypocrisy of people like Steve Krakauer and his ilk is breathtaking. During the Bush years, Keith Olbermann took over-the-top rhetoric to new heights with his anti-Bush screeds.

He called the president a liar, a fascist, a killer, and told the American people in a dark and brooding tone that Bush was illegally wiretapping the entire country. He repeatedly told his viewers that Bush had “blood on his hands” for the war in Iraq and called him a “pathological liar.”

If Glenn Beck’s message can drive someone to violence, then so can Keith Olbermann’s.
