Unsurprisingly, this shocks me not in the least. Offends me, yes. Disgusts me, yes. Shocks me? Not so much. I have pretty much become used to this type of insanity from the Lefties (h/t John Hawkins)
The attack on Glenn Beck continues by the internet crowd calling for a boycott of Beck’s advertisers. Can we now boycott the internet for making false accusations? The accusation that “Glenn Beck raped and murdered a girl in 1990” has apparently gone… well, viral. A whole website has sprung up because of it. glennbeckrapedandmurderedayounggirlin1990.com Warning: Not Safe For Work.
In the age of the internet false accusations are common. Glenn Beck has yet to respond to the “Claims”. (Can you blame him?) A claim that is being made on the I-report feature of CNN’s website. CNN is probably loving the traffic that it is receiving to its “unedited, unfiltered” news site. Glenn Beck formally hosted a show on CNN before moving to Fox News. Nobody seemed to mind him when he was on CNN.
Like John, I am not going to link to any of the psychopaths who are hailing this as some sort of proof that Glenn Beck is a deviant. Take a look
I suppose I could go looking for the original copy, but, why bother? Notice anything strange? Like the address, which happens to be the same as the house the Duke Lacrosse players, falsely accused of rape, had their party? This report was filed for the date when the accuser was checked in the hospital, 3/14/06, when Crystal Mangum was in the hospital. Gwendolyn Sutton was the Durham, NC, police officer who was on scene at the hospital. Notice the “occur from” date in top right. Yup, night of the Duke party. John Shelton is a Durham PD Sgt involved with the case.
Good luck with a cell phone being worth only $300 in 1990. Furthermore, Sanyo did not make them in 1990. The first entered the cellular phone business in 1994. The players were also accused of stealing her phone and money, originally.
All in all, this is a pathetic attempt on the part of the left to demean Glenn Beck. Of course, if you go to the site, you find
Notice: 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.
Only nutjobs on the left would think that creating a false document accusing Beck of rape is parody/satire.
(Comments have been shut off, due to being alerted to the fact that the Insane Left is leaving unhinged comments in order to create “Google bombs” of this meme.)
A parody is supposed to be amusing. I don’t know on what place on the planet the reported rape and murder of a woman is celebrated as humor. Oh wait, yes I do, the sharia loving dominions of the Islamists. Is it any wonder that someone who claims to support the current administration by such slander and perverted infamy would adhere to similar views of women held by backward Islamists?
Linked you here, thanks. I maintain my call that he deserves a Senate seat, even if the tasteless joke didn’t involve vehicular manslaughter.
Took me all of 30 seconds to find the original document. This really is pathetic.

Dear Lefties: Nice Try…
No, Glenn Beck did not rape a woman in 1990–and the document that you’re floating around to “prove” it is laughably false.

This kind of reprehensible behavior is straight out of the cons’ playbook. Recall the many speculations about the Clintons’ involvement in Vincent Foster’s death.
Shamelessness begets shamelessness.
You are so right. Even this doesn’t compare to the tactics used on a daily basis by the right.
So you support making up disgusting lies to push an agenda? That does say something about your character.
They are pretty much all nuts, Ellen.
Thanks, Smitty. Should start a big movement for that. That would send the libs into apoplexy…..well, they are usually there anyhow 😉
Awesome catch, Brian. The left is shameless and pathetic.
Really, Bryan? So, then you approve of this? You know, we could get into the vast amount of lefty conspiracy theories about Bush, such as Trutherism, which is practiced mostly by liberals. But, hey, I’m not surprised you have no condemnation for this.
People who don’t understand defamation law often think “parody” is some sort of get out of jail free card. People who know only a little bit of defamation law think it’s ok to defame public figures and they can’t be successfully sued when they do. They’re wrong on both counts.
Maybe not everybody spreading this lie, but some of them are vulnerable to suit.
I don’t know, this is really shameless work on the part of those spineless Libs, but I still wonder if there might be something more to this story. I just wish Beck would get out in front of this story by denying it unequivocally.
GTH, “Mike”. The “gee, how horrible of them to make this crap up, but…” crap became obvious about six years ago.
I mean I love Beck, but you know how fast this nonsense can spread. He has nothing to hide, I’m sure, so why doesn’t he just come out and address this specious garbage? I’m mean, he’s innocent, right?
Seriously, Mike, I have seen that Talking Point all over the web regarding this story since yesterday. Why would he talk about something that you folks on the Left made up and are using as a personal smear because you do not like his Constitutionally protected Free Speech? You folks used to say you liked free speech and dissent.
@William Teach
Yes, Beck could end this in a moment simply by addressing the allegations on his show. I expect there’s a good reason that he does not do this, such as his lawyers or FOX TV dont want him to because of the ratings. I’m pretty sure Glenn Beck is innocent of rape and muder but I sure wish he’d come out and say so.
This rumour has gone out of control – somebody needs to stop it.
You know who could stop it, AnotherFineMess? You and the rest of your ilk who are propagating this made up story. Beck didn’t start it, you folks did. So, stop it.
It’s gone way too far for that.
I remember the first time I heard this allegation I felt exactly like you. There’s no way, I thought, that Glenn Beck raped and murdered a girl in 1990 – he’s not that kind of guy. So I deleted the message and then thought nothing more of it.
Except the messages kept coming. It’s not just me asking it’s a heck of a lot of people. One thing that Glen Beck has taught me is that persistent rumours like this demand answers.

And we want answers, or my country back, NOW! I’ve had it with this stupid BS. This in fringes on Glenn’s rights (The 43rd and eleventeenth amends.) and will only serve to make Glenn say and do even rape’ier things to you infernal lib. butt wipes. Get lost TP roll!. And don’t even ask me about Glenn’s horse.
Glenn Beck has never denied raping and murdering a young girl in 1990. He has hired a law firm to attempt to shutdown the website glennbeckrapedandmurderedayounggirlin1990.com. What is Glenn Beck hiding? These are the actions of a guilty man. Many people are convinced that Glenn Beck raped and murdered a young girl in 1990.
And many people are stupid.
Something this utterly made up as a smear campaign doesn’t deserve any response from him. Knowing him, his head would explode simply trying to refute it. When the left have to resort to this level, you know the cons are doing something right. Go Beck.
Yeah, made up…just like Obama is not an American…Obama will indoctrinate your children with socialist propaganda if they hear him talk. Those that throw garbage get the garbage thrown back at them. Or, maybe Beck needs to prove that he didn’t rape anybody just like Obama needs to prove he’s not a socialist!
When he “did”not his 15th alleged victim his head also exploded. That was in 1990. That explains a lot. I think the cons are doing something right but Steele hasn’t announced what it is yet. Will advise. A stamped, notarized crime report copy is being sent to all Fox viewers. Goo, Beck.
but it’s okay to spread rumors that obama is a muslim terrorist?
it’s okay to spread rumors that obama was born in kenya?
it’s okay to spread rumors that obama is a socialist? (i know even serious people believe this one, but he isn’t a socialist even by its broadest definition.)
Why won’t he address it? Why hasn’t he denied it? WHAT IS GLENN BECK HIDING??!?
Oh, the humility!
This is totally crazy! Glenn Beck is a rap artist? No way. I’ve heard plenty of malicious rumors about his having a criminal background but never a rap artist. I refuse to believe he rapped more than 5 girls just because a newspaper story said so. Any way, it was 6 that weren’t rapped and the proof is on the “Fickled Finger of Fate White Board” in the guise of a treasure map which is actually a signed confession of the events in 1990.
