Glenn Beck Lies

Glenn Beck is outrageous, silly, bonkers, but he’s also thought provoking. Some of my friends, yes you Debbie, are just appalled. They give him no credit. Assuming that I was being misled, I decided to google “Glen Beck Lies.” Following are what were considered his big whoppers. Now Glenn Beck has said some pretty outrageous things about members of our government, much of which I would like to see disputed. If these are the only whoppers his naysayers can find, I really am worried about our country.

1. He said no other country grants birthrights of citizenship.
Lies, lies. He should have said that no western democracy other than Canada. They do because they’re a huge country with only 50 million residents. .

2. John Holdren suggested forcing abortions by lacing the drinking water.
Big fat lie. John Holdren only said that SOME countries may have to resort to these methods.

3. He said no other network is going to show the video of the shot by Israelis regarding the boarding the relief ships.
Big Fat Lie. The other networks did play it.

4. He took John Edwards to task for saying the middle class was declining. Beck said the percentage of the poor has remained the same, so it stands to reason that the middle class must be shrinking because they were moving up, getting richer.
Big Whopper. Couldn’t be.

5. He said that 48% of the doctors will quit if the health care bill passed.
Big whopper. The report said that 48% might quit
.
6. He said Van Jones got arrested during Rodney King riots.
Big whopper Jones was arrested but released in few hours

7. He said the winter Olympic cost BC a billion dollars.
Wrong The Olypics hadn’t started yet.
.
8. He said Chicago had to close offices due to financial troubles
LIAR! They only closed their offices 3 days.

9. He said you ou don’t know if H1N1 is going to cause neurological damage like it did in the 70’s.
Big fat lie. There were 800 cases of Guilain Barre, but there is no definite proof that it resulted from the vaccine.

10. Quite a few sites talked about his rant about the Cash for Clunkers web site was a lie, but I wasn’t moved to really research that.

11. One of the lies listed was “Of course, we all know about him being called out as a liar by Whoopi and Barbara Walters.” No we don’t all know. Some of us don’t watch the show. Really! We’re supposed to assume that Whoopi and Barbara are some kind of great truth detectors.
