NEW YORK, NY – A popular TV host has gotten into some hot water with his comments towards the presidential family!
Glenn Beck is a media personality and he definitely presents a “hard to stomach” personality sometimes. He’s a conservative radio and TV host, but there are times when he doesn’t hold anything back or perhaps just doesn’t think about what he’s saying or doing. Beck has landed in hot water when he attacked Malia Obama on his radio program.
Beck, 46, made offensive comments against Barack Obama’s daughter following her inquiries into the recent BP Oil Spill in the Gulf Mexico. On May 28, Beck used his radio program to mock Malia. At one point he insulted her intelligence saying: “That’s the level of their education, that they’re coming to – they’re coming to Daddy and saying, ‘Daddy, did you plug the hole yet?’”
Beck’s tirade lasted for several minutes and he appeared to be having fun mocking an 11-year-old girl. Perhaps the worst part is that Beck’s double standards came to light. Beck gave a very spirited interview with Sarah Palin a while back in which he defended the issue of family and how the media should respect family.
“Leave my family, leave people’s families alone … When it was Bill Clinton, you don’t go after Chelsea Clinton. You don’t talk about the Bush kids. Now the minute they get into politics, that’s a different story. You leave families alone,” Beck said in the interview.
Perhaps Beck had one too many before his show or his common sense finally returned, but he realized he screwed up and issued an apology.
“In discussing how President Obama uses children to shield himself from criticism, I broke my own rule about leaving kids out of political debates. The children of public figures should be left on the sidelines. It was a stupid mistake and I apologize – and as a dad I should have known better,” he said in a statement.
Next to nothing of worth spews from Beck's mouth, so his attack on an 11-year-old should come as no surprise. All he has are crocodile tears about how much he loves America and how "his" country is on the road to ruin. If Beck loved America, if he had anything that even approached love in his heart, he'd have to have something of value to say to give his audience hope. But all he can muster are spineless attacks, doomsday prophecies, historically baseless analysis, and roaring paranoia. Piling up money at the expense of his audience and our political process is clearly his only concern.
Tough…get "Daddy" outa the white house….and no problemos…do us all a favor!!! Please…He doesn't care and does not care about Las Vegas he has almost destroyed, bad mouthed the US overseas…Who needs him????? Give him back to his 2 kids…we don't want him…
My partner and I absolutely love your blog and find almost all of your post’s to be just what I’m looking for. Does one offer guest writers to write content for you? I wouldn’t mind composing a post or elaborating on many of the subjects you write in relation to here. Again, awesome blog!
Glen Beck is one stupid ignorant man. LOL. How desperate is he when he belittles himself and mark an 11 yr old. Give me a break. Where is his intelligent level? On air he looks like a fool.
He couldn't find anything to talk about so acted like a jerk and marked a child.
