Now this is hilarious, Beck recently went on a tirade trashing the WWE over their new tea party pro wrestler.

The WWE in return decided to pay a visit to Beck at his studio asking to speak with him about his hate-filled remarks, but Beck hid like a coward and refused to speak with them.

This is typical of those on the far right, they run their mouths, then hide like cowards when they are told to man up.

ROFL- would this be similar to hiding like a coward by claiming executive privilege in a Congressional hearing?
But.....good to know though. Thanks so much for bringing us up to speed on these important world events!

No, like this:

"The WWE is trash! They are a bunch of idiots!"




"What did you just say?"

LMAO- I once read that these shock jocks garner about 60% of their ratings (and income) from people who hate them and listen to see how much they can get fired up and hate every day. Congrats on filling Glenn's coffers.

Thats hardly is a frivolous lawsuit. Some people think they can take care of everything they don't like with violence. Not a Beck fan, but if the WWE is involved, you can bet they only went to the studio for publicity. If they would have given them an audience, they would have created a media spectacle for themselves (most assuredly). This is what they do for attention. Nothing good could have come from giving them an audience.

Stossell is a libertarian, says government is too intrusive and big. Some guy slaps him and he sues the guy for a half a million dollars. I'd call that frivolous, but that's besides the point, Stossel's incident was a lesson to Beck, don't mess with wrestlers.

So if you dare speak out against wrestlers then they are justified in punching someone? Really? If some behemoth punches you for asking a tough question, then he ought to be sued or thrown in jail. Violence is not frivolous. I'm a Stossel fan, not Beck fan - but the point is that the WWE don't handle anything well as it's all about publicity and ANYONE (whether Beck, Oprah, or Putin) would do well to ignore an audience with them.
