Politics Glenn Beckwatch: The Truth and Glenn Beck

Posted by Paul Constant on Tue, Jun 16, 2009 at 4:09 PM

a797/1245184196-glennbeck.png Glenn Beck has fucked with the wrong people now! No, not Democrats; I'm talking about Greg Hoover.

Who's Greg Hoover, you ask? Why, he's the 9/11 Truther who's suing Glenn Beck for defamation of character:

An East Coast 9/11 truth activist is preparing to file a defamation lawsuit against TV / radio personality, Glenn Beck, the producers of the Glenn Beck Program, and the Fox News Channel.

Specifically, Greg Hoover will be suing the above-described defendants in Federal Court for Beck’s having repeatedly broadcast statements characterizing those who question the government’s official version of the events of 9/11 as, “anarchists,” “terrorists” and as persons denying the Holocaust.

It's funny; I think I mischaracterized Glenn Beck. I really would've figured that he was all about 9/11 Truth. You can donate to the Greg Hoover legal fund here.

No, silly! Beck wants Obama birth certificate truth! He's oh-tay with the standard 9/11 bullshit.

That's because Bush was POTUS during 9/11. Now if NOBAMA was president, well, you know.

You're right, though, Paul. There is absolutely nothing suspicious about 9/11 and the truthers should be shunned and ignored.

@1, I agree. Beck is oh-tay with the standard 9/11 bullshit (ie. Osama Bin Laden and a few patsies with boxcutters did it!).

we can only hope that court room catches on fire so both Beck & Hoover burn.

"I think I mischaracterized Glenn Beck. I really would've figured that he was all about 9/11 Truth."

Um, perhaps your characterization of 'truthers' is the one you got wrong. Ugh, nevermind, you won't admit that at any cost, no matter how many times you get schooled in the comments.
