Limbo, as in the popular song and dance; question is, "how low can they go?" Hypocrisy, callousness, malice, and outright LIBEL from leftist propagandists have, can it be said, finally answered that question. Of course one daren’t set the low mark just yet. One thing seemingly inevitable, when it appears these loony radicals couldn’t possibly get any baser, they jerk an all new falsehood from their collective sphincter. Perhaps it’s appropriate the aforementioned 50’s party fad was based on a Trinidad funeral dance. Allegorically speaking, today’s "leftist limbo" does appear to signal the imminent death of civil discourse amongst those who disagree with each other.
Incidentally, it had been decided that Glenn Beck was going to take a hiatus from this column for a spell to examine some other issues, but extremist scoundrels have thrown the gauntlet and to not denounce their madness would be ethically wrong.
A website called foxnewsboycott.com, whose primary purpose seems to be hustling overpriced merchandise demeaning Fox News, has posted a grotesque, fabricated quasi-news story headlined, "Glenn Beck Raped and Murdered a Girl in 1990?" Although the site offers the disclaimer: Note: This is satire/parody, but a valid example of the fallacious reasoning Beck is known for, one reader of a previous Glenn Beck article had the audacity - or the unimaginable naiveté - to try and pass the story off as factual.
To make matters worse, this website links to another called glennbeckrapedandmurderedayounggirlin1990.com which claims to be, "The Official Website About The Controversy." Here the proprietors go so far as to produce manufactured "evidence" including clearly doctored "police reports" of the "crime." The save themselves from a libel suite obligatory disclaimer is even more obscure on this one. It is, shall we say, in the fine print and reads, Notice: This site is parody/satire. We assume Glenn Beck did not rape and murder a young girl in 1990, although we haven't yet seen proof that he didn't. But we think Glenn Beck definitely uses tactics like this to spread lies and misinformation. Can this really even be considered a disclaimer? Let the rational reader decide for himself.
And it doesn’t stop there, oooh NO! In turn, this site links to the "origins" of the story on a site called Fark.com, a collection of such vile paltriness that decorum prohibits linking to it here. The so-called "origins" in this website amount to what surely must be a horde of slobbering, half-wit, neophytes banging away on the keyboards of their Rent-A-Center computers, who’ve just learned some new dirty words and couldn’t wait to try them out. This site wouldn’t even be noteworthy except for the way it describes itself under "About Fark": The first thing you should know is that Fark.com isn't a Weblog. Fark.com, the Web site, is a news aggregator and an edited social networking news site. Every day Fark receives 2,000 or so news submissions from its readership. In fairness, which is actually a word utterly foreign to all this, the "origins" information is listed under the "Not News" tab on Fark. Really? That certainly isn’t what some of the "humanity" there seems to be thinking.
The first site mentioned here, foxnewsboycott.com, offers the following twaddle, amongst others, under the heading, Here is some of the evidence:
- Some say he ate her remains in a drug-filled pagan ceremony.
- I cant find a single entry/item/article ANYWHERE that says Mr. Beck is not a rapist.
- Why haven’t we had an official response to the rumor that Glenn Beck raped and murdered a girl in 1990?
As if this weren’t audacious enough, just before the "comment" section they have the unmitigated gall to post, Attention: Comments are moderated. Off topic rants, personal attacks, harassment, etc. will not be published. See the Comment Policy and F.A.Q. for more information. So... apparently in their purview, the unbelievably malicious mendacity they publish about Mr. Beck is fine, but hey, don’t you dare launch a personal attack, or harass another poster here, because we simply won’t publish it. Well now, aren’t they the Emily Post of left-wing crazies internet?
Consider all this, along with the recently discovered video of Obama cohort Van Jones referring to George W. Bush and republicans in general, as A**HOLES, contrived apology notwithstanding, and what other conclusion could one reasonably come to, than the hard left is populated by people of extremely low moral character. Folk with no sound ideas whose only vehicles of expression are hate and vulgarity.
One relatively rational liberal identifying herself as "Mrs. Polly" posted this rebuff to the entire premise of the campaign:
If the rumor had been a person killed and eaten, or if the victim had been a barnyard animal, or if it had been a rumor he embezzled widows using herbalife, that would have still given blubbering Beck an excuse to revel in his victimhood, but at least it would have been a good dose of his own medicine. There is nothing parodic about a rape accusation. It’s not funny. There are too many horrible situations where rape victims are not believed. And other situations where the vindictive try to make their mark upon their targets using it, and it comes back to bite them, which I think will happen here. This is playing right into the hands of the Wingnuts with an ugly move that I am ashamed came from "our" side.
Good for you Mrs. Polly, well sort of. At least this person gets just how obnoxious and out of control the zealots on their side have become. There may still be a shred of hope after all. By and large however, the majority of these malevolent simpletons truly don’t get that ideas have consequences.
Until next time...

This is the first site where I have read about him eating the remains. Please don't spread that around until Glenn makes a statement. Thank you!
Thanks BS. I'll take your comment into consideration...
Why do you question the intellect of the American public? Don't you think we can tell the difference between the expression of opinion and the reporting of news? Don't you think we can tell the difference between fact-based courteous discourse and name-calling, nay-saying verbal onslaughts? Enough of this, I'm missing my Fox News programs. Besides, I heard Glenn Beck may finally address these questions about the rape and murder of a girl in 1990.
Really cause I heard that too? But the issue is not whether or not he ate the human remains of the young girl he raped tortured and murdered in 1990. (allegedly).
Why do you hate America and our right to free (parody) speech?
So, it's okay for Glenn Beck to joke about murder, but nobody else can?
foxnewsboycott.com/glenn-beck/glenn-beck-jokes-about-poisoning-nancy-pelosi/
It's okay for him to talk about wanting to beat people to death, but nobody else can?
mediamatters.org/print/blog/200909010014
What a freaking hypocrite!
L.Burl,
Thanks for your comments. Fact is, I love America and vehemently defend the freedom of speech our Constitution provides for its citizenry. The same right of free expresion that the Glenn Beck hate sites enjoy is however also the prerogative of folks like me. That's the part that your liberal views can't deal with. That's what really chaps your a**. Exposing that which is clearly vicious libel is how I choose to exercise my right. Some folks use theirs to promote false and perverse filth. Posterity shall judge whose endeavors are more honorable...

Hey L. Burl!
For the same reason you don't yell "fire" in a crowded theatre, killing dozens in the stampede, and then say.."It was just a joke" (ie: parody/satire/humor).
Just because you have the RIGHT to say something, doesn't mean that taste and decorum shouldn't KEEP you from saying it.
The point is, if Glen Beck wasn't so close to the truth, he would not be being so visciously attacked. It's the old Clinton strategy of so badly and falsely smearing the character or reputation of the accuser as to blur the lines of what the REAL story here is.
And the REAL story is that Obama and his administration will end up being the biggest mistake the American electorate has ever made since it has already made the far-left loons come out of the woodwork and spew their bile ceaselessly of the airwaves and the net.
I wish you people would just go away and have the decency to STFU, even though it is your RIGHT not to.
Wasn't L. Burl the snowman in the Mexican version of "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer"?
I believe that "taste" and "decorum" are alien concepts to the far lefties.
Once again, Kudos to the Reporter!
You people just don't get it do you.
You can attack Glenn Beck all you want and it will not make a difference.
This is not about Glenn Beck; you just want it to be.
True believer, Stop the hate and answer a question. What makes you hate so much?
You do not need to answer me, as I am sure you would regale me with insults, but you should ask yourself.
You can view the video clips of all of the statement made by these czars and see for yourself what they say. Van jones and his ilk are haters, and from what I have heard him say he only hates one race "white" polluters is one name he has given the race he hates.
His statements should get him disqualified from "advising" the president.
So keep bringing on the hateful and continue being dismissive.
Every time you post like you do and then some one brings up the facts it rouses another from their loooong slumber.
Facts are Bipartisan
Mr. Jeff,
Thanks for always having my back and so colorfully dealing with a person of obviously diminshed capacity.

Mixleplix & Oliver,
Thanks very for much for reading and leaving your comments. Believe it or not, I appreciate everyone's input here, although I strongly denounce a good portion of some. Your thoughts were quite refreshing and aptly expressed! Please do share your views any time.

I had never heard of this. Why hasn't Glenn gone on the air to put these disgusting rumors to bed? Why isn't he defending himself?
This makes me sick. And now it's giving me doubts. Come on, Glenn. Defend yourself!!!
I'm thinking about killing Glenn Beck, and I'm wondering if I could kill him myself, or if I would need to hire somebody to do it.
You do realize this is satire, right? The accusation of "rape and murder in 1990" is intentionally and transparently a false accusation. That's the whole point. It's purpose is to point out what Glenn Beck does on a daily basis on TV and radio. He makes radical, unsubstantiated accusations and couches it all in "well, I'm not sure any of this is 'true' but 'some people say,' so it warrants some looking into." It's a parody of the Birther schtick.
Or do you believe Jonathan Swift actually advocated the eating of Irish babies?
Start with the words "Lying German." The letters from the name GLENN can be found in there. The remaining letters can be used to spell "IMAGRY." So Beck can be proven to ba "GLENN LYING GERMAN IMAGRY!" oops, there is a letter missing from "IMAGRY." It should be, "IMAGRYY." There, all fixed.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahehehehehehehehehehe oh boy, oh boy, *breeeeeeeath* HAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHEHEAHHEAHEAAHEA
Your fake outrage.... it pleases me.
Irish babies <buuuurp> ARE delicious.
This...is...GENIUS!!!
The most creative way to call Beck (and by proxy, Fox News) out on their lies and inflammatory tactics that I've seen. I'm going there right now!!!
You media types just don't get it, do you? All you want to do is protect your own.
The bottom line is that some say that death certificate exists out there somewhere concerning a young girl who died, probably in either Kenya or Hawaii, in 1990, and the cause of death on that death certificate is listed as "raped and murdered by Glenn Beck." Now, it's possible that this death certificate is a forgery, has been altered, or doesn't even really exist. But if so, Glenn Beck could easily resolve this issue by releasing the ORIGINAL death certificate showing that the cause of death is something other than his rape and murder of the girl. The fact that he continues to refuse to do so is a bit troubling, if you ask me. "Innocent until proven guilty" and all that stuff, but he's sure not ACTING innocent, so until he does I'm going to have to assume he's guilty.
Hey "NO BECK FAN"
Please refer to "Crowded firehouse analogy".
Your comment crossed a very dangerous line.
Enjoy your time in Federal prison, and I strongly advise you get a large supply of soap on a rope.
You know, Wimer, you just handed yourself over on a silver platter, right?
Keith, I agree with you that the statement made about Beck is over the top, baseless, and completely tasteless. But, you've completely missed the point.
This exercise in viral 'truth' is to demonstrate the danger of the baseless allegation, for all civil society, right and left included. You'll notice that the language used closely mimics some of the language that Beck himself uses to insinuate that something sinister is afoot, or the language used by Birthers, or Truthers. If you view this as leftist propaganda, then you've simply and wholly missed the point, which is unfortunate.
This is great. I haven't had this much fun reading an article in a long time.
Congratulations Mr. Wimer on being one of the first. By not understanding the premise, you just fed the troll... which is what the entire thing is about.
Those who are taking some sort of umbrage at this are one of two types:
A) Too ignorant to see the satire and completely miss the point
B) See the satire, but think that interpreting this as an attempt to actually paint Glenn Beck as a rapist-murderer will gain them some political points
Will somebody please call the Waahhmbulance already?!
To J.H. Christian:
some accusations are so assinine and outrageous that responding to them only gives them more attention than they deserve.
And any idiot know that no death certificate in history, which is an official legal document, has EVER listed "raped and murdered by _______________(fill in the blank).
That type of conclusion is only done by a court of law after police charges and a subsequent criminal investigation. In Mr. Beck's case, none of these things have ever happened.
Besides, I heard that Ted Kennedy's nephew raped that girl while Teddy was drunk in the next room. It would seem like a more viable possibility. Now THAT's parody!
nice alliteration in the title, that'll show those commies. Nice insults too, I think "Rent-A-Center computers" really sealed it. How can you argue against logic like that?
I have to tell you, the - I mean, first of all, this rape thing, what are these libs going to do. Even if it was true, what, are they going to take him off air? They can't do that.
Hey Jeff in PA, did you know that the word "gullible" isn't even in dictionary? Don't believe me? Look it up for yourself and see.
While you're at it, look up the word "satire." And learn it.
gul·li·ble (gl-bl)
adj.
Easily deceived or duped. [From gull.]
gulli·bili·ty n.
gulli·bly adv.
"ideas have consequences."
Really? That's scary...thought police? Have we always been at war with Eastasia?
While I agree it's tasteless, I think this is nothing more than a heavy handed slap at Mr. Becks tactics. I'm sure they'd love for Mr. Beck to sue for slander...get him on the stand!
Hey Golf Clap...We(including Keith)GET the fact that this Glen Back thing is SATIRE. Our point that YOU so obviously miss is:
A: Some idiot headline readers will miss that fact, and in the whole distasteful analogy, it is needlessly smearing a good American's reputation.
B: Is this the best way the left can come up with to demonstrate a point? You people are dangerously amoral and demogogic to the point of losing all credibility.
C: Keith's point, to all of you reading comprehension challenged people, was that the disclaimers on these internet reports were so miniscule and misleading, that only the most astute(which would count out roughly 53% of the American electorate) can discern that it actually WAS parody vs. straight news reporting. That my friend was by design by the left-wing yayhoos who devised the whole half-witted scheme to begin with.
P.S. I didn't realize you could get the clap while golfing. Sorry to hear that dude and good luck with the treatments!
Hey Jeff in PA, regarding the "crowded firehouse analogy" and your opinions about sending people to pound-me-in-the-ass prison, what would you think about someone who would make this kind of comment:
Hang on, let me just tell you what I'm thinking. I'm thinking about killing _____________, and I'm wondering if I could kill him myself, or if I would need to hire somebody to do it. No, I think I could. I think he could be looking me in the eye, you know, and I could just be choking the life out -- is this wrong? I stopped wearing my What Would Jesus -- band -- Do, and I've lost all sense of right and wrong now. I used to be able to say, "Yeah, I'd kill _______________," and then I'd see the little band: What Would Jesus Do? And then I'd realize, "Oh, you wouldn't kill ______________. Or at least you wouldn't choke him to death." And you know, well, I'm not sure.
Guess who made that? Glenn Beck, on the air, May 17, 2005. About Michael Moore.
Mr. Jeff in PA. Awesome. Keep up the fervor, it's perfect.
Jeff in PA,
Glenn Beck is a good American?
I guess in the sense that Goebbels was a good German.
It's as simple as Glenn Beck denying these allegations but he won't. Why? He's talked about how he wanted to murder people on air before. His sociopolitical humor has made fun of rape and murder on the air. There's only one reason he could do such things and I fear it's because he raped and murdered a young girl in 1990. Prove that he didnt!
Glenn Beck is going to make a statement denying these accusations? Why say anything? This is just viral bombing. Seriously, the worst thing he could do is acknowledge any of it. Just like the white house ignores his silly accusations. FEMA concentration camps comes to mind. The reality is that the people who are doing this will get tired of it over time and move on. These are not Obama operatives as I see allot of people claiming. These are techie’s with a techie sense of humor. They hold political affiliations like Frat guys they hold keg parties. Once the beer is gone, they move on. However, if you make a point to publicly recognize them, or dare push back, you just bought them a new keg of beer and it turns into an all nighter. Techies own the net. It is best to let the wave pass by. Beck throws allot of stones, I am surprised it took so long to see some of them thrown back.

Hey Jeff in PA: Apparently, you miss the dangers of Beck and why this whole gag is happening. You said, "Some idiot headline readers will miss that fact, and in the whole distasteful analogy, it is needlessly smearing a good American's reputation." The rape/murder meme about Beck is being promoted as satire, to demonstrate how Beck uses the same tactics to MISLEAD his audience. Beck does not use the despicable tactics as satire, or irony, as is being done to him. Your quote should read, "Some idiot Beck viewers will miss the fact that Beck is misleading them, and in the whole distasteful existence of Glenn Beck, it is needlessly inflaming the fears and biases of some moron Americans, mainly those on the right wing." Beck, for a guy who cries and whines about how much he loves and fears for his country, harms America by using these tactics to smear good Americans. He is a slug.
Does that website have a lawyer that says he has a recording of Beck's grandmother saying she was there when he did it? 'Cause I won't believe it until someone says they have proof. I mean, they don't have to actually produce any, and even if they produce forgeries it doesn't mean they don't have other evidence.
I don't generally vote for mainstream candidates, but this kind of "satire" is the type of thing that might make me check "GOP" down the ballot come next election. You people aren't making a point, you're cutting your own throats with shameful slander. Rape isn't funny. Defamation isn't funny. If Obama fails, with his ultramajorities in congress, it is his fault alone, not Beck's.
Don't forget to mention when Van Jones said:
"We're really entering a third wave of environmentalism in the United States. The white polluters and the white environmentalists are essentially steering poison into the people of color communities."
youtube.com/watch?v=jvFpzdUOb3c
Race seems to be a part of nearly everything Jones says. Does anyone really believe that white people are intentionally poisoning minorities? Wasn't the Obama administration supposed to be the beginning of a "post-racial" America? Why does he have "special advisors" out there openly attempting to create an even bigger racial divide?
"Van Jones" is a hateful bigot obsessed with race.
Glenn Beck is going to make a statement denying these accusations? Why say anything? This is just viral bombing. Seriously, the worst thing he could do is acknowledge any of it. Just like the white house ignores his silly accusations. FEMA concentration camps comes to mind. The reality is that the people who are doing this will get tired of it over time and move on.

Because there is no proof, on the other hand we have van jones' own words. Why won't he answer those allegations?
Hack This,
Good points. I will say, in defense of even bothering to write the column, that the point is not to legitimize the crazies in any way, but to demonstrate how low extremists can be, even if done in the vein of satire. It's akin to Larry Flynt's disgusting "parody" of Jerry Falwell, when they did the spoof about the preacher engaging in relations with his mother. It crosses the line and therefore needs to be rebuked. And believe me I was NEVER a fan of Jerry Falwell. Thanks again for commenting.
