Anonymous vs. Glenn Beck?

[MattusMaximus]

Anonymous now seems to have Glenn Beck within their sites...

Ouch, I may not like Glenn Beck, but this is pretty damned nasty. I think I can see the point behind it though, by employing Beck's own outrageous methods of propaganda against him...

Anti-Beck Backlash Hits Extreme with “Murder and Rape” Meme (http://www.mediaite.com/online/anti-beck-backlash-hits-nauseating-extreme-with-murder-and-rape-meme/)
The viral posters that compared Obama to the Joker and to Hitler feel tame compared to the latest nasty meme to hit the Internet: insinuating that Glenn Beck raped and killed a young girl in 1990. And the meme may not go away anytime soon: preliminary evidence suggests that Anonymous, the powerful, collective behind such massive, coordinated stunts as attacking the Church of Scientology and flooding YouTube with porn, may be behind it. ...

That is not at all new. I heard of that before I really knew who Beck was and why it was funny.

When I first read the post I had a bit of a feeling that I’ve heard about this before about a year ago.
Then I saw the date on the blog. 9/3/09

Fighting irresponsible lies with irresponsible lies? Why didn't James Randi think of that strategy against Uri Geller? Why don't we use those tactics against the 9-11 Truthers?
:rolleyes:

I can't post the commic here because it's got foul language, but I'm strongly reminded of this take on the effects of anonymity:

Apparently there's even some academic support (https://www.msu.edu/user/trescami/thesis.htm) for the theory.

Anonymous doesn't have to care, unlike Nonymous. Like a powerful nation, they slap people around because they can. They have no need of kindness and the "let's get along" meme. That's for you people so you can be controlled better by your masters.

Look, say what you want, but Beck has not denied, or proven that the accusations in the OP are not true. Food for thought.

Excellent point. I find it worrying that he has not yet publicly claimed his innocence on these allegations. If he was innocent, wouldn't he have already done so?

I wonder if Beck has stopped beating his wife? ;)

Like The American Family Association said about the question of whether or not Elena Kagan is a lesbian, "Refusal to answer is a tacit admission of guilt."

Hey her Nagging is a clear sign of imminent Nazism. It has to be stamped out somehow.

Why would he beat her? :eek:

I thought it was a sham marriage anyway! :D

[O'Reilly]Some people are asking if he ever stopped beating his wife.[/O'Reilly]

Maybe she deserves it. Maybe she voted for Barack HUSSEIN Obama.

Incidently, there appears to be a similar effect for radio talk show hosts who get TV shows.

A person's sexual orientation is a private matter, but once they go to rape and murder it becomes something else.

It's very easy for me, a person who has never raped or murdered someone (to say nothing of raping AND murdering someone), to say: "I never raped and murdered a girl in 1990."

So why can't Beck say the same??

I find that fact very disconcerting.

[peptoabysmal]

Why are they so scared of Beck?

[Accidental Martyr]

Why are they so scared of Beck?

They're simply asking questions.

Questions that Beck could easily lay to rest if we only address them.
