Just caught this on AOL/HuffPo news:
Glenn Beck Says Family Harrassed in Bryant Park: "It was a hostile environment."
Glenn Beck went to Bryant Park Monday night for a showing of Alfred Hitchock's "The 39 Steps". But that was not the only showing he saw.
"It was a hostile situation," Beck described of his family's movie night; his wife, Tanya, had wine "kicked intentionally on to her back," leaving her "completely wet," he said on his radio show Tuesday morning. He further said that his wife and daughter were greeted by a man pointing his fingers and yelling "We hate conservatives here!" when they got up to use the restroom.
According to HuffPo commuunity moderator mairs:
The real story, told from the picnic blanket behind the Becks:
"I was on the blanked directly behind Mr. Beck, and while we did find it amusing that wine was spilled on Tanya & co, I can tell you that it was 100% accidental. My friend was drinking her wine and it tipped over, as wine glasses are wont to do. We immediately helped Tanya & co clean up the "mess" and offered them our napkins, and apologies were made. There was no hostility or animosity in the exchange, and I find it hard to believe that a half-filled glass of wine would be capable of "soaking" anyone, even waif-thin Tanya. Moreover, why would we waste the wine?"
Beck remarked:
"All I could think of about the people around me all night was I feel sorry for you. I really feel sorry for you... you are so lost... and so convinced that you are absolutely 100% right, and you are helping build a system that is fueled by hate. You're being used and you don't even know it. And by the time you wake-up, it may be too late for you to get out."
Riigh, Glenn. Project much?
Of course the right is leveling charges of intolerance from the left, how could we treat a human being like that. I admit it doesn't make us look good. What people should have done is called him out on the specific crap he spews and asked him point blank, "Hey Glenn, do you really believe all the stupid crap you spew or is it all just for the money?
Not feeling well so I don't know that I'll be around for comments, but it's not really the kind of diary that needs a diarist's presence. Hope that isn't bad form under the circumstances.
