This site was taken down today following a legal complaint from Glenn Beck: [EDIT: IT'S BACK UP]
DidGlennBeckRapeAndMurderAYoungGirlIn1990.com

Quote:
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.

This site exists to try and help examine the vicious rumour that Glenn Beck raped and murdered a young girl in 1990. We don't claim to know the truth -- only that the rumour floating around saying that Glenn Beck raped and murdered a young girl in 1990 should be discussed. So we're going to do our part to try and help get to the bottom of this.

Why won't Glenn Beck deny these allegations? We're not accusing Glenn Beck of raping and murdering a young girl in 1990 - in fact, we think he didn't! But we can't help but wonder, since he has failed to deny these horrible allegations. Why won't he deny that he raped and killed a young girl in 1990?

I guess you can if it is true. However, with the recent court rulings regarding slander and libel on the internet, I would be very careful. It is incumbent upon you to prove that the issue is true. In the absence of any criminal charges filed in 1990, I would think that you would have a very hard time and expose yoruself to legal issues. Not very bright.

I don't listen to Glen Beck... why are liberals listening to Glen Beck? Fishing for ammunition? Don't you guys have a life other than trying to politicize your leftist ideology? Or perhaps its your obsession/job? Probably... I mean, how do you find these weird websites or no-name reporters who probably never wrote another article besides "Socialism is great" or "down with GOP".... do your friends just make up crap for others to read for ideological purposes?
