As of two days ago, Glenn Beck agreed. I wonder what changed.

The leftist media have never left children and families out. Look what they did to Sarah Palin's family and her daughters (and are still doing). Why should we be different?

Anyway, Beck didn't "smear" his daughter. He did laugh at Obama's stupid story, which I'm sure is far from factual.

Do you really think his daughter asked, "Did you plug the hole, daddy"? Do you really think that she thinks that Obama is personally seeing to it that it is plugged? I think the story is mostly made up. And that is what they were laughing aobut. They were not making fun of the daughter.

Anyway, again, look what these leftists have done to Palin and her daughter? Where were you? I didn't see "Media Matters" complaining. Did you? In fact, "Media Matters" was a participant.

Uh, yeah. Makes tons of sense.
He said the early words about Malia and apologized for that but that thing that MM had went on and on and that guy just didn't sound at all like Beck. His voice was close but just not there. That apology was for the part about her and the pipe line and nothing else. I guess you don't know that all of those people showed whatever MM or Huff and Puff originated. They did not show anything else.

"...without any mention or outrage over the fact that it was fake"?

And reality is that he apologized for the part he did which was very short and only about the pipeline and Malia. The rest of that crap from MM was what they dreamed up and you can see from the link I had that they went on and on much longer than he did. Haven't you watched that part yet? He apologized for what he had said and they let us hear that plus what that impostor carried on about. Only a fool would not see that the man doing that part was NOT Beck. That is, unless you wanted it to be him.

I certainly don't see that. They are the same up to the point that the impostor trying to imitate Beck carried it on and on much farther than Beck did. MM does things like that up to telling us that Beck does things and then they show some of his show but stop when he gets to the part they can't handle.

I take it that you do realize the purpose of MM and what they work to do no matter what they have to do.

Did he say he believes they manufactured it? Surely he knew what all the uproar was about; the transcript was reprinted everywhere. If he is falsely accused for something he didnt do, wouldnt he have defended himself?

He was obviously apologizing for the "imposter".

Wouldnt you love to have fans as loyal as Beck's and Palin's? Wow! Like those Chinese soldiers who went to the grave with their generals.
