Hypocrisy, Thy Name Is Glenn Beck
Submitted by Kyle Mantyla on Tuesday, 1/21/2014 1:03 pm

There can be no better demonstration of Glenn Beck's raging hypocrisy than the perfect example he inadvertently provided on his television program last night.

Extremely disturbed by New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's statement that "extreme conservatives ... have no place in the state of New York," Beck dedicated his entire opening monologue last night to warning that this is just the sort of rhetoric that led to the Holocaust and declaring that "if this is the way that America is going, then I renounce my citizenship."

"If this is what America is going to become," Beck said, "I don't want to be an American any more":


During his monologue, Beck said that it is never right to banish a group of people simply based on what they believe and that any leader who suggests doing so ought to be widely denounced by people on all sides of the political spectrum.

So, of course, Beck followed up that passionate monologue with a segment in which he interviewed none other than John Hagee, who has declared on multiple occasions that atheists are not wanted in America and should get on a plane and leave the country:



After spending his entire twenty minute monologue decrying those who say that people holding certain beliefs are not welcome in America, Beck then sat down to interview a man who has, on multiple occasions, done the very thing he just spent his entire monologue denouncing and Beck said nothing ... other than strongly encouraging his viewers to donate to Hagee's organization.

Hey Glenn, don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Would it be considered an act of war if we send Beck to Canada?

Effing right it would be.
So would sending Beiber back.
We didn't want Conrad Black back and y'all dumped that putz back on our doorstep. Couldn't you keep him in jail or something?

Only if we fired him from a howitzer.

Alrighty then. Let's put him in one of Obama's FEMA camps then.

As long as you don't look in our direction!!!!!

Okay, we have Limbaugh promising to move to Costa Rica [which has "socialist" health care] ~ and we have Beck promising to relinquish his US citizenship [which at least implies leaving the US, given the state of immigration reform] ~ and now Hannity is threatening to leave NY ~ anyone else notice a pattern here? ~ I think they are ALL drinking Leona Helmsley's "laws and taxes are for the little people" kool-aid ~ ~ Sooz

Sean Hannity pouts over Cuomo’s ‘not welcome in New York’ remarks, vows to leave

Fox News host Sean Hannity said on Tuesday that he is leaving his native New York state because he is so offended and hurt by statements by New York’s Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Conservative newspaper The Washington Times reported that Hannity made the announcement on his radio show.

The right-leaning talker was responding to statements made last week by Cuomo to New York Public Broadcasting in which he said that New Yorkers by and large do not adhere to far-right ideologies.

Cuomo told Capital Pressroom’s Susan Arbetter that “extreme conservatives who are right-to-life, pro-assault-weapon, anti-gay” aren’t welcome in his state.

“That’s not who New Yorkers are,” said Cuomo.

The remarks have touched off a firestorm of controversy on the right, but Hannity is the first major pundit to declare that he now intends to flee Cuomo’s New York.

“Now I want to tell you something,” Hannity fumed. “I was born and raised in New York. I want you to know that, and I can’t wait to get out of here. I really can’t. I don’t want to pay their 10-percent state tax anymore. I live in the second-highest property taxed county in the entire country in Nassau County. I can’t wait to sell my house to somebody who wants it. I can’t wait to pay no state income tax down in Florida or Texas. I haven’t decided yet, but I’m leaning Florida because I like the water and I like to fish.”

Furthermore, he seemed to take positive glee in the economic damage his departure might inflict.

He added, “Gov. Cuomo, I’m going to leave and I’m taking all of my money with me — every single, solitary penny. And by the way governor, because I work here — there’s a whole bunch of people that work for me and benefit because I do two shows. And I guess maybe some of them will be out of work, governor. I’m sure you’ll take care of them.”

It remains to be seen whether Hannity will make good on his word or whether this is a tantrum like the one thrown by Rush Limbaugh in 2010, when he said he would leave the country if the Affordable Care Act made it through Congress.

Nearly four years later, Limbaugh has yet to make good on his threat.

And, FTR, we have a lot to "repay" to our Canuck and Aussie friends ~ Canada "gifted" us with the twin scourges of Justin Bieber and Ted Cruz ~ and Aussie "gifted" us with Rupert Murdoch ~

"Gift" in the German sense of the word.

He added, “Gov. Cuomo, I’m going to leave and I’m taking all of my money with me — every single, solitary penny. And by the way governor, because I work here — there’s a whole bunch of people that work for me and benefit because I do two shows. And I guess maybe some of them will be out of work, governor. I’m sure you’ll take care of them.”

I wonder if it has crossed what passes for his mind that whoever he sells his house to will simply replace him in New York. In the meantime he can amuse himself dodging bullets in "stand your ground" Florida.

For the non-krauts Gift means poison...

Hey!
Cruz was already half yours.

I also wonder if he realized that the "bunch of people" who will be out of work is HIS fault. He's making the decision. Again, personal responsibility. Too cowardly to stay and try to work from within? Taking his toys and leaving? Sounds like a childish tantrum to me. People have lost their minds.

Scrooooom!

Murdoch?
We were happy to see him go. He was welcomed over there with open arms (how long did it take for him to get citizenship?).

If Hannity leaves the only one who will be out of work is him. Fox will have to fill the time slot with someone just as dopey so the other people's jobs will be safe.
