Glenn Beck Show: Now 100% Trump-Free

The Glenn Beck Show announced yesterday that they are sick of Donald Trump and will no longer mention his name. We'll see how long that lasts.

Ted Cruz: Obama Will Use Gay Marriage To Strip Churches Of Tax Exemptions

Glenn Beck: Gay Activists Are Demanding Something Something Sodom & Gomorrah

Right Wing Watch has the quote:

"Think of the people who won't do floral arrangements for gay weddings. Think about the people who are bakers. Now there's another one with a DJ. They just say, 'I don't want to participate.' That's what Lot was saying, we don’t want to participate. And in exchange for not participating, I'll give you something I shouldn't be offering, but I'll comprise this far but no further. We're making exactly the same mistakes and they are making exactly the same demands as were happening in Sodom and Gomorrah."

Rick Santorum: Same-Sex Marriage Is A Violation Of The First Amendment And As President I Won't Enforce It

Rick Santorum called into Glenn Beck's show today to declare that as president he will not enforce a SCOTUS ruling on same-sex marriage. Because gay marriage is somehow against the First Amendment.

"This is tantamount to government establishing religion," Santorum said. "When the United States government comes in and says this is what you are going to believe, this is how you're going to practice your faith, this is a new religion. This violates, in my opinion, the Establishment Clause in the Constitution that says that Congress shall make no law with respect to an establishment of religion. If the government goes around and tells churches what they have to believe in and what their doctrine is, that is something that is a violation of the First Amendment." Santorum said that he holds out hope that the Supreme Court will rule against marriage equality advocates "because there is no way that the left will stop at mere tolerance, they will demand conformity, they will demand it from the church, they will demand it from every institution, they will demand it from businesses and there will be no tolerance to a different point of view on this issue."

Glenn Beck Announces Plan To Organize Christians In Civil Disobedience Against SCOTUS Ruling On Same-Sex Marriage

And yup, he compares himself to Martin Luther King.

Glenn Beck Has The Religion Study Sadz

“You define yourself as a Christian and you’re going to be defined by society as narrow-minded, judgmental, hateful. Believing marriage is between a man and a woman [is] used as ammunition to say you hate gays. Teaching intelligent design is literally likened to child abuse now, mocked as ‘anti-science.’ Virginity is mocked. Being pro-life is being spun as a war on women. So growing up today as a millennial — that is damn near impossible. Who would intentionally put themselves in a crowd that society has deemed anti-gay, anti-women, anti-science?” - Glenn Beck, responding to yesterday's study by Pew Research.

Glenn Beck: Gay Marriage Will Shut Down Half Of The Churches In America

"Mark my words. If gay marriage goes through the Supreme Court and gay marriage becomes fine and they can put teeth in it so now they can go after churches, like the president's lawyer says, 50 percent of our churches will fall away. Meaning, within five years, 50 percent of the congregants will fall away from their church because they won't be able to take the persecution. Mark my words, within five years, 50 percent of the people that you sit next to in church will not be there." - Glenn Beck, speaking yesterday on his internet TV show.

Listen closely at the end, but that's what he's saying.

Glenn Beck: The Furor Over Indiana's RFRA Will Lead To Concentration Camps

Karl Rove Vs Glenn Beck

Mediaite recaps:

Glenn Beck declared this week that he is officially “out of the Republican Party.” Karl Rove responded to this on The O’Reilly Factor tonight by essentially yawning. Rove said he’s not really surprised by this “old news,” pointing to a few times before when Beck made similar statements about leaving the GOP. He pointed to what Beck said about Republicans not standing on principle and trashing true conservatives like Ted Cruz, then brought up a quote by Cruz not standing on principle in fighting Obama’s immigration action in the DHS funding fight.

Glenn Beck Defends Dolce & Gabbana

Right Wing Watch has the transcript:

"Is this the kind of freedom that we're at? Anyone who feels the same as Dolce and Gabbana, let me ask you, are they empowered to express their view or are they now afraid that Hollywood and progressives will come after them? The party of progress is making progress indeed, back to the Dark Ages, back to the days when differing scientific views were labeled heresy and black magic. As the march toward conformity continues, America gets farther and farther away from the place where those who will change the world with art and science and music, those who will bring on the next Renaissance just might find themselves locked up in a tower and sadly never paint the next Mona Lisa."

Glenn Beck Turns On Ben Carson

"Goodbye to his presidential career. It's over. It's over. There is no way to recover from that. That just sounds like a lunatic. That is just a ridiculous statement on a million fronts. A ridiculous statement. It's not just that he didn't see [the question] coming. It's that he just thought that was a good answer. That was good enough for him. Just [imagine] I'm at a cocktail party and I'm talking to a friend and they say 'well yeah, you know, you go to prison and you're straight, you get out and you're gay,' don't you look at your friend — I don't care if he's the guy who works at the 7-Eleven and he's not running for president ever - don't you go, 'That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard'?" - Glenn Beck, speaking yesterday on his radio show.

Glenn Beck: Measles Outbreak Is A Hoax

Glenn Beck: I'm Not Crazy

Via Mediaite:

Glenn Beck is not crazy. That’s why, last night, he acted out a whole scenario in which he’s a 90-year-old man in the year 2054 proving just how not-crazy he is. Beck got makeup and hair to make him look like a feeble old man, 40 years in the future, where (I’m guessing, it’s never directly said) progressives have turned the United States into some kind of authoritarian hellhole where chips are implanted into your arms and good, honest people like Beck have been forced underground. Beck starts out the bit by saying, “My name is Glenn Beck. I used to be somebody. I don’t really remember quite who, except I was American.”

The full deranged 20 minutes is at the above link. Below Right Wing Watch provides a three-minute excerpt, which is almost three minutes more than you need.

Glenn Beck: The Apple Logo Is A Secret Homage To Computer Genius Alan Turing

Kyle Mantyla writes at Right Wing Watch:

Glenn Beck received an advance copy of "The Imitation Game," the new film about Alan Turing's effort to crack the Nazi Enigma code during World War II and his eventual suicide after he was prosecuted for being gay, a crime at the time. On his radio program today, Beck raved about the film, seizing upon the legend that Turing had taken his life by eating an apple laced with cyanide which, Beck claimed, has been secretly immortalized in the logo for Apple, which consists of an apple with a bite taken out of it. "That's a salute to Alan Turning," Beck said. "Nobody knows that. Nobody knows that ... Isn't that amazing?" This claim is, of course, little more than an urban legend, as Rob Janoff, the man who originally designed the logo back in 1977, explained a few years ago.

Watch the clip at the link. Beck declines to "give away" the reason that Turing committed suicide.

Pew Ranks "Trusted" News Outlets

From the Pew Research report:

Those with consistently conservative political values are oriented around a single outlet—Fox News—to a much greater degree than those in any other ideological group: Nearly half (47%) of those who are consistently conservative name Fox News as their main source for government and political news. Far fewer choose any other single source: Local radio ranks second, named by 11%, with no other individual source named by more than 5% of consistent conservatives. Those with mostly conservative views also gravitate strongly toward Fox News – 31% name it as their main source, several times the share who name the next most popular sources, including CNN (9%), local television (6%) and radio (6%) and Yahoo News (6%).

On the left of the political spectrum, no single outlet predominates. Among consistent liberals, CNN (15%), NPR (13%), MSNBC (12%) and the New York Times (10%) all rank near the top of the list. CNN is named by just 20% of those with mostly liberal views, but still tops their list, followed by local television (11%) and NPR (9%). Both MSNBC and Fox News are mentioned by 5% of those who are mostly liberal. Those in other ideological groups name the New York Times, NPR and MSNBC less frequently as top news sources.

Respondents with a roughly equal mix of liberal and conservative values also have a diffuse mix of news providers. CNN (20%) and local television (16%) are the most frequently-named top sources, with a long list of other news sources named by fewer than one-in-ten. Fox News (8%) is among the most-named sources in this “long tail,” along with Yahoo News (7%) and Google News (6%), both of which primarily aggregate and highlight news produced by other outlets.

For the record, I highly trust last place Buzzfeed's Chris Geidner.

Glenn Beck Joins FRC Hate Summit Roster

"Just when we thought the program couldn't get any better, FRC Action is proud to announce that Glenn Beck, the voice behind one of the highest-rated radio shows in America will be joining the Values Voter Summit in D.C. next weekend. Beck, who conservatives know from TheBlaze TV, one of the world's largest streaming video networks, is making a return trip to VVS after headlining the program last year. As part of this year's event, Glenn, whose shows have topped the charts of the conservative talk circuit, will be capping off the general session on Saturday. Beck joins fellow commentator Mark Levin, as well as Senate leaders Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Rand Paul (R-Ky.), Governor Mike Huckabee, Senator Rick Santorum, Reps. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), Vicky Hartzler (R-Mo.), John Fleming (R-La.), Frank Wolf (R-VA), Erick Erickson, Star Parker, the Benham Brothers, Duggar Family, and many more!" - Hate group leader Tony Perkins, via press release.

Glenn Beck: Liberals Were Right, We Should Have Never Invaded Iraq

"From the beginning, most people on the left were against going into Iraq. I wasn’t. At the time I believed that the United States was under threat from Saddam Hussein. I really truly believed that Saddam Hussein was funding terrorists. We knew that. He was funding the terrorists in Hamas. We knew that he was giving money. We could track that. We knew he hated us. We knew that without a shadow of a doubt. It wasn’t much or a stretch to believe that he would fund a terror strike against us, especially since he would say that. So I took him at his word. Now, in spite of the things I felt at the time when we went into war, liberals said: We shouldn’t get involved. We shouldn’t nation-build. And there was no indication the people of Iraq had the will to be free. I thought that was insulting at the time. Everybody wants to be free. They said we couldn’t force freedom on people. Let me lead with my mistakes. You are right. Liberals, you were right. We shouldn’t have." - Glenn Beck, speaking yesterday on his web television show.

Daughter Of Scamvangelist Robert Tilton Takes Her Crusade To Glenn Beck's Show

Dallas television host Amy Tilton Kushnir took her tour of right-wing media to Glenn Beck's show last night, where she declared that her complaints about Michael Sam's kiss aren't about "sexual preference" but about the public's revulsion in seeing anyone lick cake off another person's face. Or something. Since my post about Kushir's heritage on Saturday, JMG readers have found several other links to her infamous scamvangelist father, including genealogical records and a video of the then-Amy Tilton defending her father on steps of courthouse where he was being tried for fraud.
