(CNN) -Glenn Beck is scoffing at recent attacks from MSNBC's Keith Olbermann and others after the Fox News host inaccurately told the crowd at his recent Washington, DC rally that he "held" George Washington's handwritten inaugural address.
"I thought it would be a little easier in the speech," Beck told his radio listeners Thursday as he dismissed the most recent liberal attack directed at him.
The uproar from the left came in response to a comment Beck made during his Restoring Honor rally on the National Mall last weekend in which he said, "I went to the National Archives and held the First Inaugural Address written in his own hand by George Washington."
Turns out the Archives' policy doesn't allow members of the public to touch rare documents like the First Inaugural Address. Instead, Beck was permitted to view the document through plastic – prompting Olbermann to declare "his story that he actually got to hold it…is wrong."
"His fib stands in stark contrast to the point of the rally, which was all about restoring the principles of courage and honor that the nation was founded upon," the publication Mother Jones chimed in.
But Beck himself didn't seem frazzled by the allegations.
"They are like, 'He's such a liar. Glenn Beck is such a lair!' said Beck laughing off the criticism.
"I thought I'd be a little easier than to say, 'Yesterday, I went to the National Archives, and they opened up the vault, and they put on their gloves, and then they put it on a tray, and they wheeled it over, and it's all in this hard plastic, and the because you're sitting down at a table and you can't – because of [Former National Security Advisor] Sandy Berger - you can't actually touch any of the documents because they are very rare'…..I thought it was a little clumsy to explain it that way."
"Might have been a little too much useless information!" Beck exclaimed. "Once again, they caught me."

What a Joke – Obama lies at least 10 times a day EVERY day and you never see anything about this from CNN, Double standard – ya think
Glenn Beck is human scum and a liar. He contradicts himself incessantly and wants to hold everyone to a higher standard than he can hold himself.
I have not seen CCN's headline "Obama caught in a lie" when Obama does more than shade the truth – Why does the main stream media do this – could it be they are afraid of Beck. They could not complain that Beck was poliical or that he slammed anybody – all he did was praise the military and praise God – hard to find fault with that.
Gotcha journalism at its WORST!!! Nothing else to say about the event, so of course start saying that Glen Beck was lying. Jeez, you people should really be sterilized so we can be rid of you in a few decades!
Really is that the best you guys have against us. Why do you track all the lies you say every day on the news and your liberal goverment. Keep trying to smear us Keep trying to bad mouth us people will wake and have seeing who is the FARCE and it is you.. THE MEDIA...
glenn beck is a moron not a mormon.
So Beck is raked over the coals for a "lie"? Okay, maybe he shouldn't have misled whether the motives were right or not. However, if one "untruth" is enough to have an uproar that what do we do with an Obama/Pelosi/Reid who lie a multiple of times on a daily basis? Obama has been caught in lie after lie after lie after lie (i.e. "transparency", "you can keep your current insurance if you like it", "unemployment will stay below 8%", etc.). If Beck lied once (which was wrong and he should not have misled) what should happen to an Obama who lies daily? Any thoughts?
Its not so earth shattering but he could have just said "I went to the archives and saw it with my own eyes" and would have achieved the same result.
I think Beck is a scumbag among scumbags but I don't think this is something to really focus on.
Beck, Palin, Bachman, Angle etc are FRAUDS! Stay the course and Vote DEMOCRATIC!
Of course Glen Beck is a liar! He's a wanna be politico isn't he? You HAVE to be a liar to be a politician! Doesn't matter whether your a Repub or a Demo, they're all liars!
Prove a lie that President Obama has told. Can't do it, can you?
and this was all about faith... Gee, Mr. Beck, isnt' lying a sin anymore as long as it is "easier"? I see Kevster thinks the same. As long as you whine "you do it too" that makes lies by you and your ilk okay. And if you want to accuse someone of lying, at least provide evidence. We can see Beck lied here. Where are all of these "liberal lies"? Just saying it doesn't make it so, an idea evidently lost on Mr. Beck.
I've got to admit, most people with a lick of common sense (believe me, it isn't that common) already know that most of the 'information' coming from sources like Beck, Palin, and anyone else that believes you have to fit the "gun-toting, Christian-reformed, close-minded" stereotype in order to be what they consider a "true American" is nothing but an exaggerated version of nonsense.
Everyone except the right wing nuts knows he's a Liar.
I am about as liberal as they come, and I'm a fan of Keith Olberman...but this really is grasping at straws, I don't think Glenn Beck intentionally lied about it, and if he did, who cares?! And now CNN is covering the controversy like its news!! FOX news and its anchors lie and bend the truth about much more imporant things, and this is what you're going to make a story out of?! I don't get any news from FOX because I know it is very skewed, and I should stop getting news from CNN because its not newsworthy. I used to watch The Daily Show because I thought it was funny, now I watch it because its the only show that reports on anything that really matters!
the beckster caught in a lie...you say???? No kidding???? Why I never would have thought the beckster would lie!!! And he represents the korporate, gawd luv'n right wing constituency??? Who's have thunk!! Simply terrible!!!!
"Let me tell you this one more time. (recall finger wagging at the camera) I did not have sex with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky." and did we ever determine what is, is?
yep, and Beck's a liar. Right.
Beck lies, Palin uses words that she doesn't really understand, Limbaugh uses scare tactics, and no matter how hard he tries, Newt will always be Newt. So with this in mind, don't you think that both Democrats and Republican need to move on and solve the issues. Get these bozos off the public stage and allow the real problem solvers to get the job done without the distraction of the playground.
All these lies these responders say Obama told, where are they?? And why didn't someone call him on them?? Ridiculous! I think Glenn Beck is just goofy to pull something like he did. . .
So to all of you Beck fans, I have one question for you and you can answer yes or no.
Did he Lie?
Hey .... Beck followers?
This isn't an Obama thread .. try to stay on topic!
Oh wait ... that would mean you'd have to defend his latest lie though wouldn't it?
LOL!
What's the matter? You can't blame Clinton for this one like you did for 8 straight years under Dubya?
See, this is what happens when a guy who "doesn't think he has to check his facts because he's only a commentator" (as he said on The View) continues to try stating them.
It's as if this guy has a drinking problem or couldn't graduate unless he started his own university or something ...
Why should Glenn Beck telling a blatant lie be news anymore?
Does anyone actually care about or listen to this clown?? Where does the Right find these idiots? Put a skirt on Beck and you’ve got Palin. Please, life’s far too short to be reporting on people who talk and act like 8th grade kids...
Wow! What a piece of priceless journalism. Olberman is such a waste of time. Throw the book at Beck, but let the rest of Washington skate on by on their real lies. Just like lamestream media
Of course, and his flock will believe he held that document no matter what the truth is. It makes a better story if he went to the Archives and they all fell down and worshiped him and washed his feet and let him play with the documents. Then he healed a leper, walked on water, and went out to give his Sermon on the Steps. We're witnessing the birth of another religion, folks!
Hey Jane, you may be right. But I ask you, why do the conservatives always try to find fault with EVERYTHING President Obama does? For instance, people are criticizing the Oval Office makeoever (that didn't cost taxpayers one dime), when it is done with ALL Presidents. Something as small as that draws fire from the right.
Please be specific about a "lie" that Obama has been caught in. Trust me, I'll research it to verify. So please tell me that lie. And BTW – the CNN headline, uses a question mark. They are not saying he was or he wasn't.
BTW – I'm a veteran, I don't like what Beck did, claiming this was for the military. The group only got what was leftover from the rally. Mr. Beck has to pay for the rally expenses 1st, then the rest was supposed to go to that group. I'm not saying he's bad, or anything like that. I just don't agree or believe a word he says.
If Glenn Beck is such a great American, why hasn't he worn the uniform of this country? Why? Has he served in Vista? Has he served in the Peace Corps? No, he only serves himself.
He's a liar and a sociopath, and he has you right-wing nuts right where he wants you.
Big news here! If you look up the definition of "liar" in the dictionary you will find pictures of Glenda and the Wicked Witch from Wasilla front and center. Followed by all of Foxnews and right wing hate radio. Between Glenda's racists rally in D.C. and the Vanity Fair piece on Palin, the truth about these nutjobs is finally on view for all to see. Most importantly the other 98% of the US who do not watch or listen or believe their G.D. lies!
He most likely missremembered like Hillary did when she said she was running from the plane dodging gunfire in Bosnia.
Politicians lie....period. Anybody who didn't already know that was truly an idiot to begin with. At the same time though, you right wingers need to shut your traps as well. It's not like the people in your party are any better.
For all you right wing fanatical geniuses – what lies has Obama told? I await your deep thoughts and writings.
Who even cares? The country is falling apart and this is a story your covering? Good grief!
I really don't understand people. When CNN came up with facts check on Obama it was ok now it is Glenn Beck who is god him self who lies it not facts checking we just want to destroy his great name. come on people. Whats good for Obama, Clinton etc is good for Glenn Beck. We want honesty people it doesn't better on the race or background right just honesty. Glenn Beck is not honest he is just another liar. I understand that people want this to remain the White mans world but time for a change. LIARS ARE LIARS WHITE OR BLACK ETC.
Remember – Mr. Beck himself has said that he is a commentator as compared to a newsperson, and thus (somehow) is not held to standards of truthfulness and disclosure normally attributed to the news profession. Thus, why should his recent statement be viewed as an issue? The man himslef has essentially said that the truth is not an issue.
His excuse that he exaggerated his narrative because "it was a little clumsy" to tell the truth is pathetic. Why not just say "I saw it with my own eyes" or something. So convenient, so self-rationalizing an excuse. Why can't we all agree that for both sides that it taints any argument whether you are talking about snipers or beheaded people in the desert or inaugural addresses if you don't tell the truth. Oh, and list the ten lies Obama has told today and then maybe someone will believe you.
Mr. Olbermann, I have a question for you, WHO CARES??? All the crap going on in this barbaric world we live in and this is what concerns you the most? Get a life, dude!!
Ridiculous. This is what CNN has to write about? And they wonder why the media got an "F" in their own poll in 2008. They drive away their good hosts (like Lou Dobbs) and bring on more and more biased ones.
IN RESPONSE TO ANONYMOUS,,,how did you come across that total lie? oh maybe you got that info. from glenn beck...our great presisdent Obama has never lied. how dare you say something so stupid. PRESIDENT OBAMA is striaght forward and smart, he does not make up lies as do beck, limbaugh boehner, gingrich, and all the republicans in general. and now we have lunatics like angle and rand. i do not know what is happening to our great nation, but we certainly do not need to be supporting the right wing republiCONS and the ridiculous tea party ...VOTE OBAMA 2012!!!!!
Because of Sandy Berger?
Uh, no.
Because they are irreplaceable documents that should only – if ever – be handled by trained archivists?
Uh, yeah, that just might be the answer.
Get out of one lie by telling another – way to 'restore America's honor', Glenn.
I agree with Beck, this is too nitpicking and there's other things he's wrong about that are more obvious and important. The problem I have with what Beck said is what George Washington thought of political parties (hint: he didn't like them). That to me is irony.
Glenn Beck is the biggest lying mouth of all time and a hippocrite! When he was on CNN he wasn't such a die-hard conservative! Follow the money people! Oh and he spews dangerous hate speech in order to boost his own wealth – the most dangerous kind of liar!
I'm no fan of Glen Beck, but do you really call this news? On any given day at any given moment, you can catch someone in a "lie" – be they Republican or Democrat. Politics is a dirty, filthy game – both parties are equally guilty, but this shouldn't even register on the radar. Come on, CNN – you can do better than this.
No surprise to me. Beck also lied about the size of the crowd at the rally...saying it was a half million people when it was only a measly 87,000. This kind of behavior comes with the territory with attention/media whores like he and Palin are.
I actually would have been more surprised if he got caught in "the truth"!!!! I have listened to this windbag a few times and he is nothing but a self promoting rhetorical idiot that just spews incessant diatribes and has no real solutions to anything.
Let's stop pretending that the lies all come from one end of the political spectrum. Politicians and commentators of all stripes misspeak, shade the truth, make a false statement when they think they're speaking accurately, and occasionally flat-out lie. They're human. We're human. Get used to it. Left-wing politics is not a disease. Right-wing politics is not a disease. Mindless loathing of people who don't think like you do IS a disease. Let's start looking for a cure.
CNN...typical. You people will NEVER jump off of the Obama bandwagon. Is it January 20, 2013 yet?
Afraid of this moron, this babbling lunatic. I mean really are there people out there who actually take this buffoon seriously? Just let me know when he goes blind so I can dance a jig. Obama lies, I don't think so you gutless moron
Check out Jon Stewart's pre-rally show (the one where Bloomberg was the guest). The entire first section is basically Beck contradicting himself...way more entertaining and to the point that msnbc, imo.
Anonymous - Tell us of one lie by Obama and we will tell you of 50 by Bushy and Dicky starting with WMD and Death Panels. YOU have become the JOKE Anonymous.
Do you know how to tell when Beck is lying...
His lips are moving.
it's simple. eather you lied or you didn't . he did.
seems it's not that simle for Conservatives , though.
The score in the big game yesterdqay was 3-1
well, it was or it wasn't. Beck seems to want to argue the score. He's wrong
The complete and utter sheep mentality of these extreme conservatives is incredible. You're so far right, everyone not as single-minded as you is defined as liberals. Not even sure why I'm bothering to comment, as you don't actually hear anything that's not said by your mouthpieces. When I start hearing original thoughts and not talking points come from your side of the debate, then this country might actually get somewhere.
It's amazing how many things that are being done to HELP you, you're opposed to. It's sheer ignorance. And how you think Obama in less than 3 year can do more damage than your boy Bush did in his 8 years, I'll never understand.
Bush put the holes in the boat. Obama took on a sinking ship and is doing his best to bail out the water. Stop wasting time trying to blame people for your problems and come up with some solutions.
I clicked on this link because I thought it was novel "Glen Beck caught in a lie" – ha, when isn't he? He's an ENTERTAINER. You might as well be following Ozzy Ozbourne or Madonna – they're as credible as he is. He's laughing at you when the cameras are off, make no mistake. He doesn't care about you or your needs, he only cares how much he can get his pawn to do and how much money you bring him. He has no vested interest in your happiness – he lies every time he says "I care".
Not even sure why I bother, I know it's like talking to a brick wall. I just mourn for this country that people in it are so afraid of things they'll believe anyone who will offer them shallow promises and will give them a villain to hate – whether it's deserved or not. But who can blame him – you people make it SO easy.
'I held your wife in my hands' is a lot different than 'I got to see her behind glass'...
Assuming he is supposed to have a way with words, he could have easily said he reviewed the document recently instead of saying he held it in his hands.
I suppose it's not that bad, but he's such a tool to begin with, and he skews everything. This is just one more thing in his alternate reality.
What a PATHETIC attempt!! Is it envy... or is it just blatant media bias? I mean seriously... politicians of ALL stripes lie on a regular basis... but we don't hear much about the left. Then we have this flacid attempt at smearing Beck... absolutely disgusting "journalism". I really don't know how you guys sleep at night... are you really THAT parranoid and insecure in your own political beliefs, that you have to disect every word out of this man's mouth and try to find ANY possible little detail to "bust" him on? Weak... it makes you look childish and speaks VOLUMES of the strength of your own position. You wonder why people don't trust the left... it's because your own parranoid dilusions spill over and taint the entire picture... people see that and it's clear to the rest of us, that you wouldn't go to such childish legths to defind a position of merit.... only to defend a position you yourselves are insecure about. Liberal elitism at its finest.
If you people are really so disgusted with CNN, then why are you on still on the site? Idiots. Go to Fox News instead. If Obama truly is lying, I'm sure they'll be the first to report it.
Rather than say, " went to the National Archives, and they opened up the vault, and they put on their gloves, and then they put it on a tray, and they wheeled it over, and it's all in this hard plastic, and the because you're sitting down at a table and you can't – because of [Former National Security Advisor] Sandy Berger – you can't actually touch any of the documents because they are very rare'"....
why not just say, "I went to the National Archives and viewed it!"?
Don't be so overly dramatic, Mr. Beck. Geez!
Beck is a liar, but not b/c of his "artistic license". He spreads propaganda, pure and simple.
Glenn Beck is an entertainer. He would never let details ruin a well-told story. We should allow entertainers artistic license. We should not look to them for political leadership.
All Mr. Beck had to say was that he "gazed upon" the document. Easy enough.
The implication is that Mr. Beck got up close and personal with the one of the founding fathers. That does not make him more American than I am.
To Mr. Beck and all the Tea Partiers, I am a real American with American values that include honor, justice, fairness and honesty. I also believe in health care for all, legal pathways to immigration, religious freedom (including Muslims), legal recognition of same sex relationships, the end to the war in Iraq, the reality of global warming and the imperative development of clean and independent energy. I believe that we pay taxes for the right to live in a civilized American society. The government may not be the answer for every problem; but you are sadly mistaken if you think that private industry has all the answers.
I don' t want you to "take our country back" – I want to take it forward. And if you can't help take the USA forward, get out of the way of those who are trying!
fair and balanced, just like FOX News and Beck's stormtrooper friends like Bachmann (we're witnesses, there were a million people at the rally) and Palin (yellow journalists are to blame) and Brewer (illegal immigrants caused the beheadings). what's next, sainthood for RR?
Surely he meant to say that he "Beheld" the document! What a pathetic excuse for a story.
I would put Glenn Beck's lies up against Obama any day of the week. Beck lies to make people angry and it is dangerous.
Besides the tile of the rally spoke of honor and integrity...SO lead by example Mr. Beck.
This is about the disgusting Glenn(the hate monger)Beck, not the president. Some people will never, ever get over the fact that he was elected. He has done so much in so little time to help this nation. While Beck has done everything he can to divide it.
I ran into an old high school friend at a bar. He said, "I just saw your brother, I ran into him on the street just last week." I told the guy, "I don't have a brother." Without missing a beat, he said, "I know, and when did he grow that beard, I hardly recognized him." Lies bother me, and lies to cover-up lies bother me, regardless of who tells them. I agree, in the big scheme, this looks like a small, perhaps even meaningless instance. But look at his excuse – couldn't he have simply said, "I saw" instead of "I held?" And, look at the broader context. When someone makes a point, conjures and image, or fosters and emotion that we enjoy, that we want to have or to believe, but must lie to do it, there is something wrong with us if we're not pissed. If you don't think so, just think of the dude who lied to your daughter to get her into bed. Beck is a player. If you want to get used, if you want to be humiliated at the aisle, keep going out with him.
Beck = fool. His followers = fools.
If you people are really so disgusted with CNN, then why are you on still on the site? Go to Fox News instead. If Obama truly is lying, I'm sure they'll be the first to report it.
Glenn Beck is manipulative and insane. His followers are as well. Only weak-minded sheep fall for his hate filled, right wing nut job rhetoric.
Then we will add the constant lies by Beck and his racist budddies on the Fox Channel.
The left is being absolutely insincere in their effort to split hairs between Beck holding a paper document and Beck holding a paper document wrapped in plastic. There is no material difference and it is silliness like this that causes the public to lose faith in the left and right factions.
He lied at a rally entitled restoring honor. Are you kidding me and all these morons think there is nothing wrong with that. Hypocrits one and all!!!
The growing fervor of the indoctinated masses of GlennBeckistan makes me want to vomit in my mouth a little. That said, this is a pretty petty article. Don't we have real problems to deal with?
Beck, Palin, and the rest of them, are expert on speaking on the "edges" of truth. Those edges can be the difference between a so-so line, and an inspiring or exciting one. When in doubt, go to the "edge." Their followers don't dwell on the facts, anyway; it's the rhetoric that they want – so give it to them. Facts are for losers.
Oh baloney!!! This isn't news. If he ever tells the TRUTH, that would be news worthy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All of you Beck fans........we know what Beck is all about and we know what you are all about. You can't think for yourself so you listen to the head of the KKK>.....Beck and Fox news lies all the time........No one is afraid of Beck you are afraid of a Black Man in charge . His little KKK
I Had a Dream wasnt about the Military or GOD is was about HATE
iT was all a smoke screen. If he praise GOD and you know about his HATE what that make you? Molly mmm your HATE is coming out .....you need to get a JOB because something is vwrong with you.
By the way GOD loves everyone. You BECK fans you cant serve two master.
Stop and think about this......
If the right wing keeps attacking the media, they don't have to answer any of their questions. Then....no one can see that Sarah, Jan Brewer, Glenn Beck, Rush, etc. don't HAVE to know anything about anything. They can just keep attacking the media. Right?
This is all so clear. Jan Brewer was a perfect example when the media was asking her about the headless bodies in the desert. She would NOT answer the media's unrelenting questions because it was a LIE!
They are masters at it!
Beck lying. nothing new there. The man is full of lies and I wonder who are the people that listen to this nut.
This is not the first, nor the last, lie you'll hear out of Glenn Beck's mouth. Granted, this is a pretty stupid thing to gripe over. How about you guys report on how he likes to twist every view and opinion from a Democrat to sound Marxist, Socialist, Deceiving or Outrageous in some way, huh? Pretending like he's reporting "news" when it's really just his twisted opinion?? Come on – this guy is the biggest joke there is and anyone who believes a word out of his mouth is a blind sheep.
it is sooooo scary to think that people in the united states actually like this loud-mouthed idiot...all he does is cause fear, anger, conflict and paranoia amongst the less-educated racists who hate democrats/liberals or who hate Obama for what they perceive him to be...anything but an american. my god.....wake up america !!!
All of you who think this is "gotcha journalism" are missing the point. It's not "gotcha journalism" if there really is a lie.
If you talk the talk you better walk the walk, Dems and GOP alike. For Glenn Beck to mock the criticism he is getting for being casual with the truth when he makes that allegation against progressives constantly is more than just a little disturbing. He could have just said he went to the Archives and read the first inaugural address; instead he made a point to aggrandize the situation beyond what it was. Make light of it if you want Mr. Beck, but perhaps more than just the far far right would take you seriously if you just admitted to saying something you shouldn't have and owned this rather than acting like a snide hypocrite.
How many more days till Nov 2nd? Can't wait for the dems to get it handed to them by the voters.
Most of you folks do not get it. This has nothing to do with "gotcha" journalism or liberal media bias. The bottom line is that you cannot give a speech about honor, faith, and honesty and then use a lie within it simply because it is convenient. And no, Obama does not lie 10 times a day every day. I read enough conservative news sites to know that this is not the case. They can and do call him out when he does. If people cannot stop playing the liberal – conservative game and tearing each other down, this nation is doomed. How can we expect anyone to respect us when we cannot even respect each other. This infighting, name calling, and partisan rancor is more dangerous than anything foreign terrorists can throw at us. This is America at its worst. It is American bringing about its own demise. Wake up!
Beck has lied about far more serious things. His one man crusade to compel poor white people into fearing Muslims, Blacks and Hispanicsshow what a lying flim flam man he is!
So, he lies while delivering a speech about restoring honor, then tries to spin the lie to make it fit. Yep, sounds like a typical republican.
If you are trying to restore Honour, lying is a bad way to start and to the responders here, "birds of the same feather flock together"
Glenn is who he is, suddenly realized he is an anchor and attracting people, then went on a frenzy. Honour is a good thing when communicated from the right vessel, This guy is so tainted that his followers like that trait in him.
Who cares who lies more?
Lying is wrong regardless of who does it or how often.
Do you lemmings really want to be told what to feel and think by someone who would lie about something as stupid as this? What else do you think he lies about? Do you think Glenn Beck or any of these super-wealthy self proclaimed "patriots" care about the average American. If so, I have some WMDs to sell you.
Gotcha journalism? I believe it's called telling the truth.
Glenn accuses Obama of "having a deep-seeded hatred of white people", he accuses churches that talk about social justice of being "communists", he thinks that liberals are to be compared to Nazis, and NOW at this rally he has on August 28th, he tells his flock that God is speaking through him? Now he's a self-annointed religious prophet to these masses of weak-minded xenophobes??? Give me a break!!!
In the eyes of his worshippers, Glenn Beck can do no wrong. The evidence of the brainwashing of Beck's audience is clearly evident here in this comment blog.
Anyone who claims that God is speaking through them, and who has millions of people serving as a loyal audience, should be at least taken with a very large grain of salt, and at most, seriously feared.
You know he could have just said " I went to the national archives and read Washington's first inaugural address written in his own hand" and it would have had the same impact and been factually correct. Things like this are what aggravate me about the right wing there is always some justification for their half truths and manipulated facts. My personal favorite fact manipulation is the tax cuts for the rich create jobs, which is a technical truth. The whole truth is that if you take that same amount of money and give it in tax breaks to the middle class you actually create a larger number of jobs. You will never here that though, instead they make it seem that the only way to create jobs is through tax breaks for the rich.
Are we really talking about this???????????
@ Ananymous
and the rest of you Repugs, we had to put up with you people for eight years, If I was a repug now I would shut up and not call anybody names, after all it out in the daylight in front of the whole world where your idiot party leaders and adminstration took this country and the rest of the world with their lies and scare tactics, so now you are calling people liere, Anonymous THE JOKE IS ON YOU AND YOUR STUPID PARTY.
And anybody who follows that idiot Beck, does not say much about your caracters does it.
Perhaps Mr Beck did hold George Washington's addresss. After all, allowances were made for him to get to see the address when members of the regular public would not get the chance. Perhaps someone bent the rules and Mr Beck spilled the beans by accident. No matter what , the famous and well known have benefits the rest of "US" will never have unless we attain that position. The problem I have with all of these talking heads is that I don't believe a thing they say. I can look back and see how they have changed their posiitons to suit various situations and really don't seem to believe in anything that does'nt benefit them and their huge egos.
I'm amazed he didn't offer it as proof that Washington was related to HITLER!!
I despise Glenn Beck and his ilk for what they have done to civilized discourse in our great country, but Beck is correct to scoff at this non-story. Perhaps he didn't actually touch the document in question, but apparently he was allowed to get as close as any person without special training can. I'd brag about it, too. The tragedy is that some important progressive voices have briefly adopted the right's strategy of ignoring real issues in favor of penny-ante distractions, and folks like Beck will never allow anybody to forget it.
Boy, talk about making a mountain out of flat land. So, let's get this straight: Sandy Berger shoves papers down his pants and "It was an accident" is a perfectly acceptable excuse, but this is something to froth at the mouth about?
Most liars are like alcoholics and chain smokers ...I can quit anytime I want...RIGHT
Glenn accuses Obama of "having a deep-seeded hatred of white people", he accuses churches that talk about social justice of being "communists", he thinks that liberals are to be compared to Nazis, and NOW at this rally he has on August 28th, he tells his flock that God is speaking through him?

I think Glenn and his Beck worshippers are a danger to the very fabric of this nation.
Glenn Beck is a liar and he knew he lied when he made the comment. He cannot have it both ways.
The real question should be why does anyone believe Beck or Olberman? Keith is a bigger TOOL than Glen in my opinion.
Its not a lie, its just an acknowledgment by Beck that he cuts corners to keep things sounding more meaningful. As Colin Powell once said, 'white lies are ok.' Now, of course, it is more powerful an image to use words like "held in his arms" vs. "viewed from a distance", but it cuts to the heart of the person's character, that they can't come up with more altruistic dialogue. That in fact, they admit they use misleading dialogue, knowing full well they may get 'found out'. Why not get the greatest effect possible when talking to the masses? Why not co-opt the speaches of a man who wrote specifically to gain equal rights for black people, who used the words black and negro often enough that you cant doubt who he was talking about, and since you can't get the man himself, get his recorded speaches and use his niece, while your supporters in the crowd boo him and rail against Dr. King to the reporters on hand. No, its not about lying or trying to mislead people, its about controlling the debate, the dialogue, and removing obstacles like "NAACP's" and "Shirley Sherrod Disasters". "If we own Dr. King's dream, THEY (meaning US – black folks), can never accuse us of being racist ever again." Beck plays checkers in a world where everyone else shoots with bullets. He is Walmart philosopher, better he stay there unless he reveal to the world he is an ignorant buffoon.
This has got to be the funniest thing I have read on here. Seriously?!?! This is news worthy?!?! Please everyone stand and give a hand to our fine journalists who really get in the nitty gritty of things and still somehow come out clean!
Really? Can't find fault with the rally so now folks are attempting to attack the semantics of what Glenn said? Real mature...
Please focus on the lies of the Democrats and their leader Obumer, just look at health care bill and wait to you see everybodies taxes go up do to all of the bills this admin has passes. Your credabiity is lacking but go ahead and call me a racist or bigot it does not mean anything anymore...this is what happens when you call everyone the same names.
the only news here is that any news network would allow the likes of olberman and maddow to spew their gibberish on air.
Olbermann is just trying to be mentioned in conversation at this point. Poor guy, hahaha.
"is this the best you have against us?" Really? This is about Glenn Beck, not those you support much of what he is advocating. He reinvents himself at will. How many of his loyal followers watched him before he was on Fox? How many know he was on CNN. I'm guessing not too many since he was a liberal advocate promoting things such as the need for a complete transformation of our healthcare system. He's a snake oil salesman. If he lived in Tehran he'd be a huge supporter of Islamic fundamentalist. Small government, lower taxes, fiscal responsibilty, are all great causes that deserve support and all those who gathered at the mall in Washington to advocate for these are to be commended. Your cause is just. Beck, Palin, Limbaugh and Hannity do you a disservice with their rheotoric.
Beck has been caught so many times in his lies, it's no longer surprising. He even lies when the truth would be easier.
The shrinks have a name for somebody who lies rather than tell the truth.
"POLITICIAN"
Glenn Beck is a P.T. Barnum for the 21st century!
How obtuse. There was so much good at this rally and if ANYONE else had held it, you would be able to look past your stubborn rose colored glasses to see that. I feel so sorry for all in the media and those angry....YES YOU R THE ONES WHO ARE ANGRY....leftists like Olbermann, Matthews and Shultz (OMG this guy is the worst) Everything you say about Glenn Beck viewers, you are actually saying about yourselves. Jealousy really tears you up inside, doesnt' it?
Glenn Beck wants power and control. Power to tell people what to do and think – and control to manipulate resources to serve his own means. This is your leader T-Baggers. Enjoy...
glen beck-i think american idiot was written for him-he is everything that has made american a laughing stock-please take your white sheets off-and leave my country you fd it up enough
Leave it to that pompous twit Olberman to build a molehill into a mountain. And I love the reference to Sandy Berger - you know, Clinton's security adviser who had a habit of spiriting material out of the National Archives that related to some of the more unsavory facts of that administration.
That's it?
All one has to do is sit back watch, wait and listen and people like Beck will always reveal their true identity. It's not nice to tell a lie while holding a Bible in one hand, there is only one God and he has the final say.
He also lied about the correspondent's dinner a few years back and when he went on "The View" Barbara Walters and Whoopi Goldberg tore him a new one. It didn't surprise me that he lied about something so big as that. The issue is that he lies about stuff like that because stupid people believe him. And those same stupid people start to believe that the fool can actually go into the archives and do what he says he did without asking questions. Therein lies the danger within both parties. No one is asking questions. I hold no validity to what Glenn Beck or Sarah Palin says. They have both proven to be liars, and quitters.
How could this be? I thought Beck a.k.a. Jesus can never lie....
Beware of whom you choose to believe as that they will be prosperous from the backs of the easliy misled.
Anonymous, please tell us the 10 lies that Obama told yesterday...or the day before...or any day. How about telling us even one lie he told today! Beck says he wants to bring honor back to America but he can't tell a simple little story without lying.
anyone who listens to/watches Beck and takes him seriously is an idiot. plain and simple. he even labels himself an entertainer. he's putting on a show to make money...and ignorant people angry about having a black president suck it up, listen to him as if he is an actual journalist. he is a fake, a fraud, a con-man.
I'm a liberal and I feel a little bit dumber after reading this article.
So Beck is now saying that he was simply trying to save his audience from an inconvenient truth with a convenient lie? He could have simply stated, "and saw with my own eyes, George Washington's handwritten inaugural address," and been both truthful and concise. Bet that never occurred to him.
so, Anynymous – what "10 lies" did Obama tell today? Can you list at least 5? How about 1?
Some of you Beck followers have your heads buried in the sand. Beck was caught in a LIE.
Keith could fill his whole show every night with lies that Beck tells every day. That man is an idiot.......This is a none story. Hey Anonymous, have some gonads and print your name when you print BS about the President. lily-livered chicken........
Beck is a pure liar and hypocrite. He'll tell lies about any progressive person, even drag their families into it, yet claim that families should be left out of public discourse. And not to mention his for-profit event in Washington, where the money raised FIRST went to cover his expenses before going to a single soldier. Very generous coming from a mulitmillionaire.
i don't care for beck.
You Libtards are suck DA's. Osama's preacher is a racist that HATES whites, and you guys doent even talk about it, but Beck says some writing he is holding, and you guys go off. Must be nice in la la land.
Wow is this the same Keith Olbermann that expanded voraciously his Ivy league credentials not too far back, I bet that liberal douche' bag has never even read either our Constitution, Bill of Rights or Washingtons address himself. He like most of Obama's sheep haven't a clue as to what is going on..
If you want much more detailed accounts of Glenn Beck's lies and delusions, then go to politifact and mediamatters. I think it is funny that some Beck watchers are under the impression this is the first time Beck has been caught lying.
When you tell a "fib" or misrepresentation to a large group of people, who for whatever reason that totally escapes me, take everything you say as "Gospel" (since you seem to be leaning that way these days) Mr Beck; you fan the flames of the misrepresentation. My guess is there's some money to be made in this for Mr Beck somewhere. Snake oil salesman come to mind when I hear your name.
Now that's a new spin on getting away with lying.... All he had to say was he read it yesterday , I think the crowd could have understood that. As for the previous writer who of course signs Anonymous> Could he come up with facts about Obama lying 10 times a day.. Talk about liars....
Beck can't talk without telling a lie! The truth never comes out of his mouth! Is this the best the Republicans can put out there?
Rightwingevangelicalconservatism is a disease – at least there is one other sane person here. Beck is a joke.
Reality does not matter to Beck. The truth does not matter to Beck. He is the Howard Beale of our time.
"Saw" – a single word that would have worked – as in "I saw the document".
That's ok – Beck also lied (or at the least, got the history VERY wrong) about the Washington Monument's construction that day, too. To Glenn, everything he says is contradicted by 'inconvenient history' and , you know, those pesky things called 'facts'..
Easier? No... saying you SAW the document would have been just as easy... but it wouldn't have carried the same sort of physical cache as saying you HELD it.
Glenn Beck is a scarey, lieing person along with the rest of his right wing anti-Obama pigs who live in such a dense cloud of money induced self-delusion that he thinks all of us are stupid. And of course those without money that want to be Glenn, and are so afraid of change that they will listen to any lie and believe it.
Try an education or maybe a book to see where these people are really coming from.
Austin, TX
OKI, here are the conseervative ground rules. When a Glen Beck or someone of his ilk is caught in a specific falsehood, it is liberal media bias. But when conservatives baldly label someone a liar, that's good enough to take as gospel. And by the way, the Kevster is a pinhead. Who changes you when the soil yourself?
Just ONE lie? Why don't you guys go to youtube and look up the video where they show–with him in it–how they make him "cry" on cue?
How could you tell he was lylng?
HIs lips were moving.
Give me a break Keith Oberman is the most bitter, miserable negative man I have every seen. He is like on the verge of completely flipping out everytime he speaks. If that is all he can attack Glenn Beck with it just goes to show you how lame Oberman is. Keep grasping Keith!
Okay, seems like not a big deal... except that Beck's explanation shows that he is in fact a liar and willing to compromise, mislead, distort, etc. when it suits his ends. He throws in Sandy Berger, for example, to try and shift attention when in fact the reason NO ONE from the public, Berger included, handles the rare docs is because handling degrades them. More important, he could very easily have said something to the effect that he went to the Archives and read the original doc... but there is no drama in that, so he LIED, willfully.... on a day when everyone was supposed to be "restoring honor"... hypocrite!
This is nothing compared to the whopping lies Beck tells every day. People, he's an ENTERTAINER. He says provocative things to generate ratings and money. He probably doesn't believe half of the crap he says. I don't think Rush or Coulter or O'Reilly do either. They've tapped into an audience that hangs on their every word and buy all their stupid books and pay to hear them speak, and they tell those people what they want to hear. I find it irresponsible, but you have to acknowledge they sensed a niche and filled it. That's why Palin will only tease, but never run for office. It would be a massive paycut for a lot more work.
And this is news to everybody? They still lie after knowing the truth which really turns alot of people off. There are many ignorant people that believe every word and that is how they get followers. More stupid followers equals more money in their pockets. You didn't really think they cared about the Country did you?
Yea, and he had no idea that he had planned a speech at the Lincoln Memorial on the anniversary of the I Had a Dream Speech given at that same exact location. That either makes him a complete idiot (c'mon, one of his staffers didn't even google the date before he planned this big rally) or a horrendous liar. I vote for the latter.
Next, we will ask the Birthers, the 40% of Republicans that now claim to be birthers, where they got their proof about Obama being born in Kenya.
Oh yes, now I remember, there was a right wing extremist newspaper reporter that asked Grandma whether she was present when Obama was born in Kenya. She does not speak one word of English and the reporter does not speak her language. When the translator for the reporter (hired by the reporter) said -"she did not say that", the reporter wrote the lie in his newspaper anyway and the sponges in the Republican Party sucked it up and kept repeating it. Now fools like you Molly, Jane, and Ananymous just keep repeating the lies.
Lol – because of Sandy Berger?! Is that the best YOU'VE got Beck?
Do you honestly think that such rare antiquities as original founding documents, antiquities of our nation's history and heritage, should be available to touch by just anyone's dirty, oily hands? Really?
Lol, this is the worse thing they can say about Beck...Look, Beck isn't perfect, but he highlight a real concern that our citizens have, namely that the government is getting too large, taxing too much and trying to control our lives.
Beck, the Tea party, Palin etc all are tapping into a real raw nerve in the country. We want the opportunity to have jobs and careers not handouts. We want to pay some taxes but only a small amount. We want to help the poor but more through the generousity of private organizations rather than government. We want everyone to work. We want lots of immigration by people from around the world who share our ideals of freedom of speech, freedom of press, equality for all, free markets and a strong work ethic but we want it to be legal. We want our politicians to stop lying to us, stop taking bribes, stop running up deficits. You can attack Glen and be part of the problem or you can listen to him and see if any part of his politics might actually be helpful to this nation. Be open minded people please!!!
Well he could have just said the truth, "he viewed the address." His excuse is specious. Kevster and Molly, you sound like you need a sedative. Calm down. Sterilization? Really you sound like a Nazi. Bet you look like one too. I picture you both crying just like the huckster. Seems like the truth has hit a nerve. I bet you two think there were "millions" in attendance Saturday. Keep drinking the Kool-Aid kids.
Beck reeks – absolutely stinks of smarmy BS.
He can claim that he embellished the story, but the cretin just keeps piling it on, and the neoclowns keep eating it up.
Interesting how these same knuckleheads spin this into a blame Obama game. No dispute about Obama being a BSer, too. I agree.
Just stick to Beck, though, and see him for what he is: A charlatan and perfect snake-oil salesman.
He also told falsehoods about the Washington Monument. It was, in fact, the Know-Nothings who halted construction on the Monument. And it was finished well after the Civil War–facts that Beck ignored in his call for us all to return to whatever strange God he believes in. Every word he says is a lie–including "the" "a" and "and."
Did anyone complain about tax liar Al Sharpton's counter rally statements? No, because nobody went to hear it.........
Glenn Beck a liar? Say it isn't so! The only bigger liars than him are Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, and Sarah (Death Panels) Palin.
Glenn Beck is a former alcoholic zookeeper who is teaching america the 12 steps program... wonderful. I love how he shrugs off a lie like its no big deal...yet he wants to restore honor to America. Honor? Like the world derived from Honesty.. ahh i see.
The truth would have been to say "I saw" instead of "I held". See how simple – one word.
What a liar.
Really, for some of you to say that the president lies. I have yet to hear the president say that the conservatives are socialists, nazis, non-patriots. Let's remember that when such venom is spewed from radio and T.V. news, such a Fox News, it does nothing but hurt us all. You don't think that our enemies are not loving this. Hearing people STRETCH the truth, telling lies, spreading rumors as our values. It is truly more scary to me, to see somebody use their constitutional right to spread things. That is more like what happened 80 years ago in Germany.
WOW!....now that is a really important distinction that deservices all of our time and engeries to debate....right...seriously, this is another waste of time issue brought out by liberals...
Must be a slow news day to find this worth reporting.
Beck is the king of spin. Case in point.
This is all Olbermann's got??? He's reduced to picking on Beck's literary license??? Get a life, Olbermann. It's not Beck's fault you're irrelevant...or, OK...I guess it may be his fault a little bit.
You say that Obama lies several times a day and that the media just ignores it! Come on, that is so lame. Please provide me with a few examples. How about we start with today since it's a daily occurrence.
Just another of his misrepresentations! It sounded better and more dramatic to say he held it, so he just skipped the truth....AGAIN. Always out for the Glenn Beck show!!!!!
Everybody knows that the only man allowed to actually touch the rare art or artifacts in museums is the Dos Equis Man.
This is a news story? Shouldn't it be news if or when Beck tells the truth? I mean if you had to report on each of his lies...there'd be no time for any other news.
The point is that Beck is exaggerates and distorts nearly everything. The problem is that demonstrating most of the complete fabrications of his require that the audience have even a basic grasp of history and enough sense to draw conclusion from a presentation of facts. Obvious catches like this one are nice because any one of you delusional tools should be able to grasp the simple proof. Where there are thousands, Beck sees millions. Where there is a guarded, protected document that no-one is privileged to touch, Beck has held it. If any of his lemmings were willing to take their blinders off for a moment and consider the concrete, indisputable facts that contradict so many of Beck's utterances, they'd realize this is just a small sample of the bubble reality he creates for himself.
In response to Molly, I wish human procreation was so simple and instinctive, then maybe you would never be able to learn how to create more of your pathetic lineage. Hey, You! Out of the gene pool, NOW!
obama is the biggest liar in america
ROFLMAO!! Defending Glenn Beck is like defending the SNL guy who always said, "And my wife, Morgan Fairchild – whom I've seen naked . . ." Oh, yeah, and the Million Geeezer March was more like under 100K! What guilible fools you all are. . . . see ya in November
These responses are really quite ridiculous. The media pins groups of people against each other. This notion of 'liberal' vs. 'conservative' does have a traceable base to the ideology of people in this country.
However, the pejorative media discourse is the problem. Most of you are too set on championing your politcal stances to realize what is happening. The media isn't on anyone's side! Fox and CNN are both part of the 'media machine' if you will. One is looked at as being liberal, the other is looked as being 'conservative.' Each of the respective groups believes the other is wrong. They are both part of the MEDIA MACHINE!
That being said, politicians lie. This is nothing new.
Glenn Beck is a pawn of the anti-Christ and he is leading many astray with a FORM of Christianity. All true Christians know that the devil used Scriptures to try to fool and tempt Jesus – Glenn Beck is doing the same. One day all of these gullible Christians will find out that he is a Nazi devil in disguise...and there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth when they realize that they followed after the mouth-piece of Satan...
Add a fib here, a fib there, then another fib...
and you have the story of Glenn Beck, a charlatan
"Elmer Gantry." This guy is a clever pusbag.
I would trust Glenn Beck's reports far more than Olbermann's. So would most Americans when you compare ratings, look at political polling, etc.
He just needed another drink, was withdrawing from his last fix and his head just wasn't thinking straight.
WOW! What a story! This explains why the CNN ratings are so low. I can't wait to see "IF" you bash Obama when our insurance rates go up after he said they would not go up. Oh, wait, mine did go up and the services I receive have been reduced. Why doesn't CNN report news instead of trying to put down a man who did an honorable thing- Inspire people to return to GOD and thank our military for their service.
Why are some so ignorant they feed into this bag of wind ?.No wonder the country is so screwed up with clowns like Beck drawing attention .
He lied. Plain and simple. No plot by the liberal media. Not Obama's fault. Not OK because "they" always lie. He lied. Why can't you acknowledge this? Next time Obama lies, point it out and I will acknowledge it.
what else is new
Shame on you Keith. Sounds just like you. Your ratings are so bad you would steep to anything to try to help you. It's not going to work with us. Looking forward to November so we can vote all of you out of office and your jobs. Sorry Keith you might be looking working for work after November.
Glenn Beck is a liar? Who knew?
Couldn't he have just said he went to the National Archives and saw the handwritten inaugural address?
Its comical how some of you blame the media for what everything. Facts are Beck did tell a lie...and if it was Obama or any of the so called "liberals" Beck along with you would be doing the same thing Olbermann and others are doing calling out Beck. So stop being hypocrites.
Beck is so full of himself its sickening..and trust me no one is afraid of Glenn Beck. He's an opportunist like alot of the far left and far right folks are. Some of the same stuff he is deploring now he was defending with the Rebuplicans were in office...
And since Obama lies 10 times a day, what were the 10 today??
CNN, you've really reviewed these comments? and yet you leave the comment from "Molly" advocating sterilizing people?
He may have not held the First Address in his hands but IT SURE SOUNDS GOOD! Lol!
There are no "lies" when it's a republican doing the talking. They invent their own realities.
It's not the first time for beck, and it most certainly won't be the last. The lemmings that watch have no problem with bastardized history or reality.
Olbermann and the rest of the puppets @MSNBC lie with every breath and experience thrills in body parts while doing it.
This is the reason only four or maybe five people actually watch Keith.I fail to understand why the left constantly is beating the right and not praising the glories of the left. Might be you have nothing positive to say about your side of the street. Someday everyone will wake up and realize that criticizing gets you no where but truth takes you everywhere.
Beck is to politics what cage fighting is to sports. In fact, it's largely the same audience.
Add a fib here, a fib there, then another fib >>
and you have Glenn Beck.
My my my – where were you guys when George, Dick and company were lying about WMDs and Iraq? Apparently, lying doesn't really bother you.
Glenn Beck is a liar. He simply could have said, "I went to the National Archieves, and I saw Washington's first inaugural address." That ridiculous excuse he gave is just that – ridiculous.
Glenn Beck is the most embarrassing thing that could have happened to America.
Anywhere else in the world this guy wouldn't have a job anymore.
The point is that you can't restore honor by lying. You need to come at it with the Truth, and only the Truth.
Mr. Beck could have just as easily said, ""I went to the National Archives and [SAW] (instead of "held") the First Inaugural Address written in his own hand by George Washington."
That would have been honest, and just as easy as saying "held."
He had a good message. . . but he messed it up by muddying the waters with a dishonest statement.
Pope Glenn Beck of the Mormon mythodology church...got caught in a LIE?! Surprising? NOPE!....Mormon Pope Glenn Beck is A Lying Scumbag!
Ofcourse, he has his flock of sheeps & Teabagging NUTs followers who dont have a clue...and they foolishly believe everything he says like his words are sacred & that he is GOD!
So you wingNUT fools should keep drinking his hatorade and let him take your tax dollar donations smiling to the bank....and your ignoramus behind will continue to believe that the second coming of Christ is Mormon Pope Glenn Beck himself!!!!
This crook is a phoney and a BIG FRAUD!!!!!
Um....Beck IS the media. When you bash the "media" you are bashing Beck. Nobody fears Beck. He is just an entertainer. Nothing more. Nothing against that. Just pointing out the facts.
Its funny, when you can factually demonstrate that Beck is lying.....just like now, his Beckerheads come out point the finger at everyone else. "but Obama lies, so and such lies and on and on." Where is your EVIDENCE, you wing nut loons?? Cite your sources! Oh that's right you can't.....you set up straw man and ad hominum arguments to deflect the issue. The issue is Beck was lying....again and was caught. Don't make excuses for him. In case you forgot, a lie is when someone knowingly states something as a fact they know not to be true.....so this fits the definition of a lie. This has nothing to do with "gotcha" journalism. This is one instance in many where Beck has lied to people to get an emotional response from the vapid masses who think he is more than what he is....a ratings mongering con man. Wake up you Kool-aid drinking simpletons.
He was instead holding an obvious forgery created in Microsoft Word. Wait, that was some other "jounalist."
Let's face it, everybody lies. The problem here is that when you are holding a rally for "honor" and you are proclaiming a "higher morality" than the other party and having christian values unlike the other party, then you should live up to what you proclaim. So yes, a lie is a problem here.
I don't see why people are surprised. Beck distorts American history all the time because it suits his purpose; why not his personal history too?
For instance, for all he says about the US being founded as a Christian nation, George Washington himself (along with John Adams and the rest of Congress) wrote in the late 1700s: "the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion". Seems pretty clear to me what the Founders intended, but that doesn't fit with what Beck would *like* history to be. So I wouldn't pay much attention to his statements of what he might call fact.
Why didn't Beck just say, "I went to the National Archives and SAW the First Inaugural Address written in his own hand by George Washington."
He's a freakin idiot. As for all of you bashing CNN, at least they reported Beck's side of the story. They didn't convientiently leave out the other sides like Fox often does.
You teabaggers are right. Looking at a document though thick plastic is exaclty the same as holding the original document in your hands. If you want to look at the document, it is imaged online. The National Archives did not put the address behind plastic because of Sandy Berger... That document has been under plastic since long before Berger's actions. Just another example of Beck making sh88 up to suit his right wing adgenda. You have been listening to too much Beck/Limbaugh. You scream "Obama lies", but how about giving a few examples. Should be pretty easy if he does it 10 times every day.
Well, well, well! There is a reason I spend more time on MSNBC, they do not allow folks to represent themselves incorrectly. I guess I must rely on Keith and RACHEL for more scrutiny of the New Right, something that I trust is not a part of your format,
I can't believe there are so many Americans listen to what Glen Beck, Sarah Palin, Russ, and Bill O'Reily are saying. They must be laughing at you and all the way to the bank. They know by stirring up non-sense and in the past National Security concerns will only get them richer. Wake up America – Take back your Country and stop listening to them.
Glenn Beck is an entertainer. His sole responsibility each day is to attract viewers and promote his own name as a brand. He is not rewarded for integrity, accuracy, nor fairness so we have no reason to expect these ideals from him, nor should we delude ourselves to think he aspires to any of them. The fact that people compare him in any way to the President is an alarming reminder of how warped our society's perception of reality has been skewed by TV news. The President is an executive whose every decision has far-reaching implications, Glenn Beck is simply a muse who should be evaluated ONLY on his ability to get people to watch his program or buy his book (unless his employer also has an agenda to propegate). He is a very successful entertainer and self-promoter, but then the lights go off, and then he goes to bed.
If Beck lied about his . . . what other lies has he told? Of what other "mis-information" has he spewed and sucked up by his gullible listeners? He, like Hannity, LImbaugh, Coulter, Carr et al are not journalists, but entertainers, with no one fact-checking them. Anything they say is the "gospel" to their listeners. Who should we be afraid of . . . the "Spewers of Lies" of their listeners?
The man lies all the time. Is this news? No, because the people who believe him believe him in a way that a simple child would believe in the Easter Bunny or Santa Clause. Facts are meant to be created. It's called Creationism.
It is not just about the lie, it is about the mentallity that it is ok to just change the facts to fit your agedna. No this is not a big lie, especially compaired to most of what Beck says. It just proves the point all of you defenders are trying so hard to lie to yoursleves about. Beck is a fraud and you are the viticm.
What most Americans fail to realize is that if this political figure were a Democratic the Republicans would have hired Ken Starr and wasted millions of dollars in trying to prove that he lied while Osama Bin Laden builds his terrorist network. I know it stings for Republicans, but this is the same type of lie they impeached Clinton for and it only stalled the government, so let us enjoy this great moment in hypocritical history. Next week, we will talk about the Gay Marriage and how it goes against the 1st amendment's freedom of religion, that's the amendment before the 2nd amendment that Republicans use against any gun rights candidate. Common Sense, its an amazing thing!
Glenn Beck is not only a liar....he's an egomaniac who can't decide if he's a politician or a preacher....he spews such inane nonsense and inaccurate history. I am just waiting fo read where he finally cracks and ends up in a padded room instead of rambling at rallies.
It appears that he is not just a liar, but a pathological liar. He lies when the truth would do as well and shows no remorse whatever when he is caught at it. That is actually more an illness than a character flaw.
glenn beck the "LOOOSER" is a "LOOOSER" he needs to shut up. OOHH i can't stand cnn.
honestly, i hate glenn beck and i *like* keith olbermann. but this is stupid. his explanation is spot on. nit-picking just makes you look pathetic. sorry keith...
Let the nuts from both sides prove how "right" there side is while the country plunges toward self destruction!
we don't have to have anything against Glenn Beck and the tea party they're open for the whole world to see they're a bunch of stupid people and where are they going nowhere because not all of america hate as they do.
Beck also lied about the Washington Monument. Either he makes up his realities to suit the feeble-minded who follow him, or else he is incredibly stupid.
For all Beckies out there: He IS a liar, and does nothing more than attempt to keep an audience with lies, or mistruths as you might call it. He got busted out on The View lying about Barbara Walters & Whoopi. What? No one likes it when he's called out on it? He can't even let people finish a sentence without intruding or screaming at them. He's a pathetic excuse for a human being. And no, there's no double standard...Glenn and his brainwashed followers have Faux News, we have CNN!
Could Anonymous and Jane be specific about the "lies" Obama has told?
Molly, do you know what fascism is? Have you ever actually read the U.S. Constitution?
So what he's saying is that he can't be bothered just telling the truth. Couldn't he have just said, "I saw it with my own eyes"? Heck, the whole idea of them willingly going through all that work so he could see it is a MUCH better story than "I held it." Evidently Beck felt that the people there would not be able to follow more than a sentence when telling a story, however. Shows what he thinks of the Tea Party, I guess.
And, please – insisting that "liberals are just as bad" is not an excuse for allowing Beck to get away with this, even if it were true. Unless you really feel that Conservatives have lower standards than Liberals and it's okay for them to be untrustworthy. Maybe that's the problem – Conservatives are too willing to let anything go as long as it suits them. Shame there.
I thought his lie or ignorance about the Washington Monument was pretty bad, but this is just nit-picking. Beck gives a lot more ammo than this for people to poke holes in his flawed views and opinions.
The right wing radio entertainers have issues with reality. They have their own view of what constitutes truth. Never mind the little troublesome facts. Their self-embelishments to make themselves seem somehow revelant just show how far from they have strayed from reality.
Jane, you have no clue. You have no clue until you actually live under one of Obama's lies. Obama said he was going to bring jobs to Elkhart and St. Joseph. And what did he actually do? He proptly started shipping more of our jobs over seas. More plant and business closings, more lost jobs. 1,500 people a month losing their unemployment benefits. Now this asshole wants over $100 back from 30,000 or so UNEMPLOYED Hoosiers. Why the hell does stuff like this not make the news??? Obama made a big hoopla about our horrid state when it was trendy to. Then quickly jumped ship on us once things didn't improve, actually they are still getting worse (Hopefully, Concord doesn't tank). How bad is it when our own congressman who is a democrat is running ads here that attack Obama (and Pelosi too, if you have seen them)? Where are these jobs Obama promised? Where is this recovery he keeps talking about? Holy Hell, is anyone going to actually help us???
Would have just been as easy to say, "I saw George Washington's hand written inaugural speech."
to anonymous,
Just be specific when you write that Obama lied 10 times a day.
Bush,Cheney,Gingrich, hannity,Hally Barbour, Palin, arizona Gov. Breuer you name it and you will see how easy they lie about everything.
Glenn Beck is nothing more than a loud mouth moron who happens to have a bunch of loud mouth morons hanging on his every word.
Beck says "Once again, they caught me." Because Beck makes too easy to catch him. Everything out of his mouth is a lie! Let's get back to the bible. Either you tell the truth or any thing other than the truth is a lie. Of course people who consider themselves conservative, bible loving people would have it no other way, would they?
It took almost a week after the event and this is all they can come up with? LOL
Beck lying? This is a surprise?
This is precisely why Beck is NOT a journalist, or even a source of real news. He doesn't understand the "nuance" between fact and fiction. He thinks he can just blur over a detail because it seems inconvenient to spell it out.
For someone who knows nothing but how to act like a shock jock nutjob, this makes sense. Shock jocks can't go into nuance because nuance is not powerful, not immediate and not reactionary in nature.
Emotional, reactionary and violent forces like Glenn Beck are some of the scariest movements in the nation right now. I fear Glenn Beck's listeners more than I fear the Taliban. Why? Because Beck's listeners are HERE, they're VOTING and they're doing constant, tangible damage to our nation every single day. The Taliban, however, has never done anything in the United States that has altered my life in any real way.
So much for restoring honor. It is the hypocrisy!!!! You can not be touting honor and lie.
EVERYTHING this Nazi says is a lie. Only the weak of mind and the idiot Teabag lemmings follow him and Hannity.
First off, Who is "they" in "they caught me"? Keith Olbermann made this accusation and it didn't come from everyone on the left. Stop falling for this stuff. Most liberals just kind of roll our eyes when Keith makes these trivial points. But since there are those who are quick to come to Beck's defense, answer this question, did he lie or not? Give me the 10 lies Obama "tells everyday" as one of you has thrown out there and we can have a conversation. Defend with facts not emotional bs.
Well this pretty much invalidates everything Beck has ever said. (sarcasm). I can't believe there are people at CNN whose job it is to write about such petty issues. Isn't this what basement bloggers are for?
Olbermann needs to get a life. Keith wishes he could get 100 people to show up at a rally. If that is the only criticism he can scrape up then he needs to keep his mouth shut.
To Anonymous – what koolaid have you been drinking?
Bush and Cheney lied to us all about WMD. -> FACT
- Did they do anything to keep oil and gas prices down? No!
- Did they do anything to prevent the finacial mess we are in now? No. Bush could not even admit to it halfway into it!
- The McCain ran under the motto – Country First. Has he or any other member of the GOP done this or acted professional since the election? NO!!!!!
- Did Fox stepup and attack the Office of the President day after day? YES!
- Has anyone protested Fox or any of the minions who can't bring themselves around to the fact that the People of this country elected a Black President? NO!
Has the current administration worked hard to pass Healthcare and Financial Reform to help the people of this country? YES!!!!!!
What do you have to say to that. [nothing]
Dems: 100 - GOP: 0
Don't hate – appreciate. Things could be much worse – Palin could have been Vice President. Then US would then had been a total joke and an EPIC FAIL.
Sit back and relax. Learn to respect the President and get over it!
Glen Beck is crazy. I don't understand why you want to put Obama down when he is doing the best he can do. Beck is a dangerous man and yet the weak take up for him. They can't see beyond their nose.
What kind of honor is lying to people????
What a FREAK!!!!
Beck is such a strange, strange man. Do people who behave like him eventually kill themselves? I'm thinking he is not balanced, and a threat to himself and his family. If you're religious, and like the guy, I suggest you pray for him. He will need it.
Gee, I hope he doesn't get caught several more times, people will think he's a liberal Democrat.
We all lie!
I do believe that "Rightwingevangelicalconservatism is a disease" needs help....
Beck has been getting alot of attention and dorks like Olberman are becoming even more obsessive of him. Lets look at some real whoppers. Look up Obama Clinton debate Nafta. If Olberman wasn't such a shill he would report about lies told by our politicians...even Democrats.
Why are you so obsessed with Beck? Nothing else to report on. Why don't you just make things up like you usually do.
and, did anyone read Kathleen Parker's take on Glenn's "tentless revival"?! She nailed it – and, she isn't a friend of the lefties, so maybe the righties should stop and wonder who's having the wool pulled over their eyes, and who's pockets are being emptied by "wolves in sheep's clothing", or in this case one impersonating the "new Messiah"........ hmmmmmmm??!!
I agree with Kevster – the WMD lie......now that was a LIE!
And he calls himself a christian!
As if this is news. Anything and anyone out of Foxs News is 100% LIE!!! But really now – is this news. We all knew this was a glorification of BECK.
On any given day this mall attracts 20000-40000 people. So CBS 87,000 people – what's the big deal. I actually watched people walking away when "SAINT BECK" was talking. A freaking lunatic he is and what better lunatic to have besides him but SAINT SARAH – THE MOOSE KILLER!!
Yeah, Obama lies 80 bagillion times a second but Lame Stream Media only picks up on the one thing Beck misquoted cause they are liberal scum! Give me a break! CNN reported it as Beck scoffs at Lie allegations. Go back to watching Faux News you whiney Christian Conservatives. They will feed you only what you want to hear.
Quoted from Rightwingevangelicalconservatism is a disease post above: "Glenn Beck is human scum and a liar. He contradicts himself incessantly and wants to hold everyone to a higher standard than he can hold himself"
I think you need to turn around and take a close look at the leftists behind you! Are you serious? If he is scum and a liar where does that leave you?
His little we love GOD racist rally screams in the face of normalcy. It just shows how mental illness is spread.
good lord. i see the beck worshipers have come out in droves once again bashing obama for lying "at least 10 times a day EVERY day" and because "Obama does more than shade the truth."
i get it – you all love beck, hate liberals, and hate the president. obviously they are not as american and god fearing as beck supposedly is. however, remember the bible and what it says about worshiping false idols.
As an independent I would like to say that Fox news does lie constantly. It is not one sided, not liberal not conservative. Did you know Beck said once (look it up, it's true) that he didn't give a damn about the political process, that he worked for an entertainment company.
Confucius was ssu k'ou in Lu for seven days and he executed chu Shao Cheng Mao under the easter tower flanking the palace gate. His student, Tzu-kung asked him why it was that his first punishment fell on Shao Cheng Mao? Confucius replied: "There are five things that a true King punishes, and thieving is not one of them. The first comes the mind that is treacherous while discerning; second comes words that are eloquent while false; third comes conduct that is unswerving while perverse; fourth comes memory that is wide in scope but stupid; fifth comes following what is wrong while giving it a gloss. Me thinks Confucius would slay Glenn Beck if he were alive today.
Could have just said – "I read it", duh!!!!!
if he lies more americans will like him more because v all r very good liars....
All Republicans are liars and hypocrites.... why is this news?
Saint Beck is one step away from a rubber room, of course the millions he rakes in from his rantings help to prevent it. Saint Beck believes that God lives on the planet Kobol and had sex as a man does with Mary and created Jesus, this lune is a Mormon and these people are f$@king crazy.
Oh no, NOT GLENN BECK! A lier, oh my GOD NO!
Are you kidding me, this is what the far left media has on him...............
And this is what MSNBC pays their employees to do..... ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, sorry had to laugh. What a bunch of losers they are just like their listeners.
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA, cant stop, HA HA HA HA HA.......................
No surprise. Glenn Beck constantly makes stuff up because it sounds good. Hard to believe there are people gullible enough to listen to this clown. Hint: Like a slimy televangelist, he's just in it for the money.
Everything Beck says is a lie.
Love the spittle spewing response from the right wing here though. Molly, seriously, "you people should really be sterilized so we can be rid of you in a few decades!" Can't imagine why people think teabaggers like you and Kevster are completely unhinged.
This guy if the modern KKK . Tea Baggers we are talking about Glenn Beck , not Obama. So get your people straight. You Tea Baggers always associated President Obama with everything that's gone bad in america. Beck is a racist and whom ever defends beck is a racist. You Tea Baggers was not this upset like this when George lied to the american people about invading Iraq. So get over it.
Ok, I am not a fan of Glenn Beck but folks, c'mon! If all you have is this thin "lie" then you have to do a lot better. Isn't it just ok nowadays to say "I don't agree with his politics." and leave it at that? I don't get it. I have posted a few flames on Glenn, Mormonism and the right wing but, I will not stand by and allow this type of idiotic banter that just makes liberals look silly occur. Leave it alone. Remember creative revision of truth is not exactly a lie...so he said he was holding Washingtons inaugural address? So what if he wasn't. Let it go people!
Beck is absolutly correct calling it a joke his non political event having Parlin speak.
He lies about the Washington monument...he lies about holding Washington's inaugural address ...he lies
What does it matter if Olberman or CNN doesn't cover all of Obama's ten lies per day, the bottom line is Beck indeed lied. If it quacks like a duck, it's a duck.
Glenn Beck is a lying gas bag.
Of all the lies this guy has made, THIS is the one you write about?
Hey anonymous,
Big words with no backup. President Obama is an intellect with tanacity to challenge the left – he does it with dignity.
Glenn Beck, an undereducated whine bag, gets up and rocks the crowd with medicine man techniques. Please.
Once upon a time people could have dignified disagreements, ethical expectations and common respect. My liberal grandfather had many, many conservative friends.
If he will lie about something small like this he will lie about the bigger stuff. All of his followers and narrow minded people that are easily lead. Just don't drink the Kool-Aid, it tastes bad and will hurt you.
For heaven's sake, he "lies" every day. But lying doesn't matter. As long as we like what we hear, who cares if it is the truth or a lie. I see someone accusing our President of lying. Let's put every sentence of the President up to fact checks. Very few things would be called lies, very few. On the other hand, let's put up Boehner, or Beck or any of them, try it. You'll be amazed at how the republicans and others stretch the truth beyond recognition. Let's let the comparison actually be done. Obama has nothing to worry about in that comparison.
I guess Glenn Beck forgot that honor often requires doing what isn't easy because it's what is right.
I'm sure he (and some of the commenters here) would have skewered a journalist who did the same fictionalizing in an MSM article because the journalist "thought it'd be a little easier" to say it that way. Easier? Maybe. Accurate? Not. Wrong? Definitely. Hypocritical at a rally about honor? Without a doubt. Especially since he could just as easily have said that he saw it.
This great country is becoming third world country where people are are becoming so stupid that they vote against their own interest.
And this country is falling apart because one man from australia who owns Fox news is getting rich on the back of middle class.
I'm not a huge fan of Beck...but come on CNN....how pathetic.
Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin are both nothing but a couple of phoney liars and all of the crazy brainwashed idiots in the world cling to every word the circus clowns have to say. Just keep making them rich. They laugh all the way to the bank.
It's just an indication that Beck is sloppy with his facts. Sloppier than he should be. Would it have been so hard for him to say "I saw the inaugural address..." or "I viewed the inaugural address?" The point would still stand, and he would have been more factually correct.
I don't think this incident deserves an "uproar," but it does deserve to be noted that Glenn Beck is known to color the truth a little, if it's "easer" for him that way.
Is time Americans wake up,travel and see how far the world have gone especially Canada in treating racial abuse and hate idots like beck.They should learn from canada and stop insighting hatred to the younger generation and promoting hate and racism through media.
He should have been prepared for this. Say what you actually did, whether it's "easier in the speech" or not. That being said, it's hilarious that he's being attacked by Keith Olbermann (isn't he still on his perpetual vacation?). That man's journalistic credibility reached its peak when he was reading sports scores off of a teleprompter for FOX SPORTS. I wonder where that cool leather jacket he wore might be.
He lies about the Washington monument...he lies about holding Washington's inaugural address ...he lies..so what
Top notch reporting again.
Olbermann you are truly the most hateful person.
If this is the best sort of dialogue conservatives can offer up, Republicans are still in trouble. From what I hear of Rep. candidates for the 2012 Presidential race, it's Bobby "Weasel" Jindal, Mitt "Magic Underwear" Romney, Mike "Banjo Baptist" Huckabee and...wait for it...Sarah Palin who seems to be the Republican front runner yet totally unelectable. Another words, the "(un)usual suspects" from the last election. Pretty sad.
I'm not surprised. Glenn Beck is a deluded liar. He thinks he sees all the specks in other's eyes, but he really has a huge plank in his eyes.
He disgusts me.
If Beck lies about the little things, what do you suppose he's doing when it comes to the big things?
Glenn Beck is in love with himself. It is sad to see so many people fall for his garbage. He does nothing to promote the good of people. He makes millions and millions of dollars preaching the negative and feeding on prejudice.
While people like Oblerman are allowed to spew their racist, bigoted, sexist, drug inspired swill all over the place, he is going to hold Beck accountable. That is why liberals are out the door in November. Contemplate this while you enjoy the lie about your "summer of prosperity" and as you review your Health Insurance renewals for next year, just remember that you were told it would not cost you one dime more.
When is Glenn Beck NOT lying?
Of course we are afraid of Glenn Beck; in the same way that the Jews and Gypsies feared Hitler. He is a nut case with the prowess of inciting other nut cases. History teaches us to fear these people. They prey on the ignorant that have an appetite for fear and hatred—a deadly combination.
Glen is such a disinfo agent that loves to use double-talk.
Glenn becks entire life is a lie.
OMG! How childish and petty, but that's exactly what I would expect from the leftwing media. And Keith Olbermann? He's one of the biggest idiots on cable.
yeah, keep spitting out Beck's lies because you can't stomach the fact that YOUR President, yeah the one YOU voted for, lies every single time he makes a promise about something.
Obama is a joke and will in time be found to be one of the worse Presidents EVER. Yes, even worse than GWB which takes quite a bit of doing to top him but O will do it.
Anonymous: Why don't you list the 10 "lies" PRESIDENT Obama tells each day???? (OR, did you just tell one yourself)
BECK did LIE !
It's a weird little lie. Doesn't reprove anything. Beck in a class-less fool. Conservative politics are fine. Beck as a figurehead is absolutely embarrassing.
Well, we've all known for a long time that Glenn Beck is a pathological liar. All Mormons are.
My goodness - Glenn Beck caught lying? I thought that was standard operating procedure at FOX news, with the Beck-ster leading the way. I have a better gameplan for CNN when reporting on the ramblings of Beck - wait until he tells the Truth, then report that! You'll have nothing to write about from this twisted, bigoted, racist loud-mouth for weeks on end.
So what does the Bible say about LYING? Beck is a hypocrite and a liar.
Glenn Beck was not even a mediocre student at Sehome HS. So you have to hand it to him...making over $30 million a year appealing to people who make less than $35K a year with his right wing drivel!
I am writing this with my own hand.. well, not really writing... I'm actually typing it... and technically, it's not in my own hand... yes, my hands are doing the typing, but it can hardly be my own hand since the keyboard is sending some arcane codes to my PC which is interpreting them into letters... well, it's not really a PC... it's a Mac personal computer... which is technically a PC but not really (you know all that "I'm a Mac, I'm a PC" stuff... so they must be different)... whewwww.... I am such a liar. I'm just sayin...
He's an idiot.
Typical Beck lie. Did everyone catch how he is actually a Mormon? That explains his unrealistic grasp on life and his ultra right wing politics.
can not be an extremist unless you prevaricate and then believe it yourself ala Beck and Palin. between 2 of them more stretching of the truth then should be allowed . their fawning sheep pick it up as factual and repeat. should use snopes and politifact more often before they spread their poison.
Seriously ... I mean seriously ... hold on a minute .. seriously. 10 lies a day EVERY day. This is just stunning. I had no idea that Obama made enough public comments to lie 10 times every day. I must be tuning into the wrong channel. Fox News here I come, I need to hear more about these 10 lies a day.
"What a Joke – Obama lies at least 10 times a day EVERY day and you never see anything about this from CNN, Double standard – ya think"
They all lie. But repug lies caused a war which Obama had to end a economic downfall and all you people do is use racist rants and have nothing to bring to the table that works. I wish I could get on board but everyday I'm turned off from the lies from the republicans. The worst this is they are the ones who put us in this trouble. Remember Regan and free trade agreement. Bush and the war. It goes on and on. Get over yourselves and give me one good thing the party of no has done. They didn't even want women to vote back in the day or minorities. Go figure.
You know what would be news....when Beck doesn't tell a lie. I'm still trying to figure who lies more, Roger Clemmons or Glenn Beck.
Followers of the Beckler – the self-proclaimed King of Bizzaro world – get offended??
What a joke, Beckler is the king of offensive jibberish and childish conspiracy theories. Beck lies and changes position everytime he has a clean blackboard to scribble on.
Yes, minions of the lizard brain – we can use that simple little website U-Tube and catch the Beckler in every one of his many lies and deceptions. But only if you care to follow all the jibberish that he spews out, but who has the stomach for that?? I've tried to watch his "show", but my gag reflex gets so bad I throw-up in my mouth.
I don't need to watch him on foxed up TV, small doses on comedy central does just fine. Jon doesn't have the magic undies, or the crocidile tears, but he's clever and better looking.
I am puzzeled as to why this story was printed. Glenn Beck claimed to do something no one is allowed to do. That isn't news, or new, nor exclusive to Glenn Beck. Most people do it. What does puzzel me is why people argue about it. Lieing in the media is as commonplace as lieing in politics. And lets face it, the public don't really want to hear the truth. they actually want to be lied to. The public want to hear what they themselves believe. It's why certain people follow certain media outlets. And it's also why those media outlets label the followers either on the "left" or on the "right", conservative or liberal. The media claim to be speaking for the people when in reality what they are doing is pandering. It's all about money these days. the media will say whatever gives them ratings and who cares about the truth. No one wants it, no one will believe it and no one even cares anymore. It's easier to blame others then it is to take responsability for your actions. For all the rhetoric about values, the only value anyone truely cares about anymore is the valus of the dollar.
How dare he? What a disgrace! I am looking forward so much for Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Rangle, Frank, and Biden to speak the truth. A certain place will freeze over before those aforementioned clowns will speak the truth.
You go to hell for lying is what i was always told.
What? Glenn Beck lied? So, what else is new? BTW, it would have been just as easy for him to say that he saw the actual document first hand vs. what he actually said. (He wouldn't have had to go through all the details.)
Come on you guys! Keith Olberdork is the first human being born without a brain. I have to believe his heart is missing too as he is so full of hate and vitriol. Poor man. He is genuinely a lost soul.
What's the fuss about this lie he told, it's so insignifigant next to all the others he tells, everytime he opens his mouth.
