    How disgusting that Americans of a different opinion feel it is their rite to do this type of thing to other Americans in OUR FREE COUNTRY, while espousing “tolerance and love.” You HYPOCRITES! You are pitiful and totally un-American in your behaviour.

    • Shirley Serious

      Americans didn’t invent hypocrisy; I’m pretty sure that’s an innate trait passed down from the ancients.

  2. Yeah sure

    Is this how people are supposed to act? Physically attack anybody that says things that you dont like? Sounds like the people in the U.S need to start thinking about their actions before they act because frankly this sort of thing is very shameful.

    • Johnny Angel

      Now you know how gays feel when they’re out in public.

      • Yeah sure

        So your saying liberals and gay bashers are guilty of the same things? Intolerance? But I thought libs were supposed to be so tolerant and so openminded.

  3. Norman Adder

    We are cowards in this country. Especially the Liberals, the media And the left. Utter yellow bellied cowards. We ought bow our heads in shame for this baseless act if cowardice.

  4. G7

    What is this world coming to?…..especially, the people in the US. This is pure EVIL. I’m ashamed. Glenn Beck is correct in saying we need to start focussing on civility. Proof of that.

  5. Max

    Liberals are typically wannabe thugs, always looking for something to be angry about. They are always angry. When they outnumber you, and feel they can get away with it, they’ll do anything to start intimidate, even if they don’t know what they’re angry about. This Glenn Beck story is typical what you can get away with as a cowardly leftist. It’s equivalent is drive-by shootings, car-jackings, black panthers at the polls and suicide bombers. Takes lots of guts. NOT!

    • Joe

      And you base this statement on what?

      • Johnny Angel

        Hateful conservatives attack gays all the time. So now you’re claiming to be innocent?

        • Rufus_T_Firefly

          He’s either feigning innocence or boldly announcing his cluelessness. Personally, I think it’s both.

  6. riiiight...

    what do you expect to happen when you go out in public, glenn? have you seen your show? you spout fear hate and intolerance and you’re surprised that people hate you right back? give me a break.

    • Like I said in the article, I’m no Glenn Beck fan. But if everything he’s saying happened, you have to agree that hating his ideas is one thing, accosting his daughter is another.

        • Cam Steele

          “what do you expect to happen when you go out in public, glenn? have you seen your show? you spout fear hate and intolerance and you’re surprised that people hate you right back? give me a break.”

          Dont direct your rantings at the supposed source, but attack those they love close by. I know of an Extremist interpretation of a religion that does that! Real Heroic!???! I have loved the US and visit many times on business and holiday, but never have I seen the decay in society as I see now days and its getting worse….

          • RUSerious

            Really, what fear, what hate and what intolerance? Not sure what country you from, but your right about one thing, US is becoming decadent, people turning into, “what about me”, “I deserve this”, instead working hard for themselves and earning their way.

          • n flora

            you must not watch glenn beck. he is never hateful..just states facts and people like you dont want to heat facts because your minds are made up. and if you want to talk about hate just listen to the sarcastic, hateful remarks on mnsbc and others. we christians are called crazies, idiots, stupid, etc. i dont know you but i am 77 years old and a ministers wife for over 50 years and you are very,very wrong! just read your bible and believe me everyone will stand before an angry god soon…very soon…then we will all see. o yes i forgot liberals dont beleve in a God. sorry..

    • RUSerious

      Are you serious, how is making fun of someone on the radio the same as what happen in the park? What other proof do you have where Glenn is spreading fear, hate and intolerance. Why don’t you listen to his broadcasts and learn for yourself instead of getting it from 2 bit side kicks.
      I admit, I listen to him and I actually enjoy his programs. I also watched Keith Olbermann and Ed Schultz to see what they have to say. One makes you think while others just talk without any real substance.

      • ive listened to his radio show and watched his tv show many many times. he sickens me with his hate. anyone who can listen to that man speak without being offended can do so because they agree with him and are just as hateful and ignorant as he is. just like crazy people dont know they’re crazy, bigots are never aware of their own bigotry. go back to your cave.

        • Rosa

          how many times and for how long have you really watched his show…or its that you are just repeating the talking point that you are fed everyday…like a robot…robot…because you have no brain….sad, your right of voting should be taking away…just saying

        • @glenn beck =hate
          Seems you’re a bit of a hypocrite aren’t you?
          Ahem, try this on.
          “I’ve read ‘glenn beck=hate’s’ comments many, many times. He/She sickens me with his/her hate. Anyone that can read his/her comments without being offended can do so because they agree with him/her and are just as hateful and ignorant as he/she is. Just like crazy people don’t know they’re crazy, bigots are never aware of their own bigotry. Go back to your cave.”
          Your argument is weak at best.
          FYI I took it upon myself to correct some of your errors I couldn’t help myself, you need to learn how to properly space after sentences & capitalize at the beginning, just a little advice. Also your statement about “crazy people” is incorrect you shouldn’t comment about things you have no knowledge or education about…it reflects poorly on you.

      • Rufus_T_Firefly

        I agree. Glenn Beck has no substance.

  7. Helen

    somewhat off topic – it is considered profoundly disrespectful to the American flag to place it on the ground – and then to sit on it? You’d think Beck, who claims to love the flag, would know a little more about the appropriate way to treat it. Even though it isn’t an actual flag, it depicts the flag, and I find it incredibly offensive that he put it on the ground and then put his big, greasy butt on it. But, I would die for his right to do so, and all forms of political speech, even ignorant ones like he spouts.

    • Cam Steele

      “it is considered profoundly disrespectful to the American flag to place it on the ground – and then to sit on it?” You would hate Australia then – Aussie flag beach towels, car seat covers, bead spreads, blankets underwear, etc. Carry it with you is patriotic! Cant believe how Anal the US is becoming.

  8. KayTX

    You, moronic New Yorkers — SHAME on you for not having the courage to stand up to your bullies! To stand around and watch the assault of fellow Americans in an American city without making the slightest attempt to stop it…… You are not only stupid liberals electing idiots like Wiener, you are cowards and disgrace to the nation.

  9. Yeah sure

    So your saying its ok to harass people and their familys in public because you disagree with them? I hope you understand when its you and your family that are being harassed or worse because of your opinions.

    • if i ever put my family in danger by saying the kinds of bigoted, hateful and intolerant things beck says on the air, i would deserve whatever i got. if i saw a member of the kkk or the westboro baptist church or any other hate monger out in public being harassed i wouldn’t feel sorry for them either. beck is not just a pundit with conservative views. he is an evil, evil man.

      • Yeah sure

        In a just and free society you would not be able to put your family in danger just by saying things. Get it?

      • And you are an “evil, evil, poster” Do you realize how demonic your argument is or are you paid to be a bigot online? I don’t like what he has to say so poor behavior is fine? Written like a true Nazi, it is attitudes like yours that start holocausts. Guess what? I agree with Mr. Beck! Are you gonna harass me too? What if that doesn’t work (I’ll never shut-up)? You gonna beat me up? Threaten my family? Kill me? It’s nice to see the mask come off of folks like you, the good people of the world will reject you, you racist bigot.

      • Becky

        Quote “if i ever put my family in danger by saying the kinds of bigoted, hateful and intolerant things beck says on the air, i would deserve whatever i got.”

        yes you would deserve whatever you got… your family however would not deserve it!!!!

  10. max mahnanrov

    Sure, thuggery and harassment is never acceptable but knowing Glenn’s history of making things up is there in fact any evidence that these events did occur? I of this no where else.

  11. max mahnanrov

    Sure, thuggery and harassment is never acceptable but knowing Glenn’s history of making things up is there in fact any evidence that these events did occur? I’ve yet to hear of this anywhere else.

    • Steve

      Brilliant!!

  12. Laurie Burnell

    Josh, thank you for being a decent man and standing for good behavior. I am sorry this happened to Glenn and his Family.

  13. Zenya Peterson

    This is really, really sad all though I am not surprised. This is a typical left leaning tactic. The so called tolerant were not very tolerant last night were they? Hypocrites. I am sorry Glenn.

    I really wish that people writing articles would check the facts instead of basing their writing on what the left leaning media spews. Glen Beck is NOT parting ways with Fox News because of low ratings. He has been talking about this new venture of his for over a year. Glen is working on another project with Fox News.

    • Yeah sure

      They have to say that Glenn Beck is being fired or else they would have to admit to themselves that they really didnt accomplish anything with their boycot and that they really dont have as much pull as they thought.

    • RUSerious

      If you believe this, I have a bridge in Brooklyn I would like to sell you

  14. teresa zundel

    Can you file charges for assault?

  15. Steve

    Has the New York Ritalin supply dwindled since O’care was passed? Looks like the ‘kids’ are getting cranky! Time for Glenn to do what he does best…throw an “I Love New York” (with all it’s pimples) Party”!!

  16. Maura

    Mr. Beck and his family have every right to enjoy an evening in the park. Those who heckled him and took pictures of him for the reason of having them posted on a website that would make fun of him should be ashamed of themselves. Regardless of his opinions, he is human being and therefore deserves respect. I find it amusing the so many who claim so support diversity can’t allow someone who holds a different viewpoint than their own to sit quietly with their family and enjoy a film. What is happening to our great country?

  17. Louise Wilson

    The people who took part in the Bryan Park trashing of Glenn Beck and his family don’t belong in a decent society. All it serves to do is further divide the American people. Imagine how this appears to the rest of the world.

    And, where were the police during this event? Oh, I forgot, this happened in New York City where they did away with trans fat, sweetened drinks, smoking etc., but trashing Glenn Beck and family is quite O.K. Disgusting, absolutely disgusting.

  18. Wakjob

    Neilsen ratings is now controlled by foreign Indian workers. Google “How Oldsmar got global influence”. They got Lou Dobbs off the air for his opposition to immigraton, then they got Beck off the air. They get anyone off the air who even TALKS about immigration. Odd anyone who mentions immigration on the air has their ratings go down by a foreign company run by foreign workers whose only agenda is to get more of their own people into the USA to effect a takeover.

    As for the libs, they are tolerant only of their own views, not of others. And like all good commies, they resort to violence when they can’t win. No wonder libs are becoming the laughingstock of the USA.

  19. To Whom It May Concern:

    Just a quick FYI -saw your article on Mr. Beck and his numerous FALSE claims about the way that he was treated at Bryant Park last night. Myself and several of my friends were seated immediately behind Mr. Beck & co (have pictures) and I can tell you that while the crowd was certainly not *thrilled* that he had shown up, his family was left completely alone, and for the most part he was too. Conversely, it was his security detail (two body guards) that seemed to be unnecessarily prickly with the crowd, scolding myself and my friends for acrobatics and other harmless activities taking place well before the movie started, and contributing to a considerably less relaxed atmosphere than is typically experienced during BPMN (I’ve been going for about six years now).

    It was my friend that spilled the glass of wine on Tanya -and I can assure you that it was a complete accident. A happy one, to be sure, but nonetheless a complete and utter accident. As soon as the wine spilled (and I question how Tanya became soaked from a half glass of wine) apologies were made and my friends pretty much scrambled to give Tanya & co napkins -no doubt aware that it would look terrible and that their actions could be perceived as purposeful. No words were exchanged after that, as I think that it became pretty clear to Beck & co that my friends and I were doing everything in our capacity to help clean the “mess”.

    I’m sure it’s unnecessary to point out the hypocrisy in Glen’s statements that we were being hateful. I can assure him that we don’t need his sympathy. Incidentally, none of us have made a career of “spewing hate” on the radio, or any other media platform. We live our lives intolerant only of those who don’t tolerate: We have chosen New York as our city for that very reason. We do things like go to Bryant Park Movie Night, and vote to legalize gay marriage. We don’t taunt Glen, or his family. And we certainly don’t waste our wine, even on Tanya.

    Thanks, and please let me know if you have further questions.

      If you believe this, I have a bridge in Brooklyn for sale.

      • if you believe anything that comes out of becks mouth you really can’t be helped. i tune into his radio show as often as i can stand to and he’s worse than a liar, he’s truely deranged.

        • Rosa

          you are sick…get some help.

        • @glenn beck is a liar
          Why are you such a liar and bigoted racist?

        • Vic

          It people like you who gets me worried about America. If you think Glenn is a liar and deranged, you really need some serious mental help. Make sure you look both ways before crossing the streets. There are these rectangular things called “cars” that can kill you. You can be more stupid because you can’t.

          My mother used to tell me, when the king caravan passes, the dogs bark. Glenn is the king, you are one of the dogs.

    • Leah Washington

      Aren’t you coy to give names, etc. Personally, if your gf would have spilled wine or anything else on me, she would have been sprayed with pepper spray, but it would have been an accident and, then, I would have turned a flip. How’s that? I’m so glad you voted for legalized marriage of gays. A bit too much information and, no, I’m in the middle. I’m not to the right or left. I think they are both screwed up. If you were assisting Beck and Co., why didn’t you take photos? I’m sure it would have been a great time for a photo op.

    • Leah Washington

      What does voting for legalizing gay marriage have anything to do with movie night? You are odd.

  20. Guilford Robinson

    We have just his word for what happened. All the pictures that were shown showed people at the park minding their own business. They appear to be pictures his own people took themselve. He is trying to get sympathy for himself since his popularity has declined and he is being fired from Fox. I didn’t see anything spilled on his wife’s white sweater. If this did happened, wouldn’t people have filmed the action with their cell phones?

    • Yeah sure

      Why would a gang of people harrasing a family take pictures of themselves harssing them. Maybe people from NYC learned something about photographic evidence from Mr Weiner.

      • Leah Washington

        Funny.

        • Yeah sure

          Its funny because its true. They will try harder now to cover eachothers butts or whatever.

  21. Leah Washington

    UNBELIEVABLE!!! What has this world come to??? Glenn should get his wife pepper spray such as I have on my keychain and she should have sprayed the bastard in the face. Unacceptable behavior. I feel for the family as it was suppose to be a nice outing. I’m sorry it happened. If I was sitting next to them, I would have taken up for her and sprayed the guy in the face with my spray. This is a different world. Growing up in the 60s and 70s was a much nicer place.

  22. Leah Washington

    Again, I have two words — pepper spray. I doubt if the idiot would have spilled wine or any other liquid on another individual again. Obviously, she was drunk enough to not be able to tolerate her liquor.

  23. Tom

    He is a complete jerk and a total liar. He encourages this type of behavior towards anyone who disagrees
    with him. If someone disagrees with he calls them “Marxists” and “Communists”.
    He has no problem lying about other people and saying things like “we’re coming for you” and “my time is
    like god’s time and I’ll get you in my time.”
    Look at what he did to Megan McCain, which he refuses to apologize for. It was just as bad as what
    happen to his family. He expects people to feel sorry for him and he tries to use his family and way to get
    sympathy and attention.
    What a slim ball! If anyone should be angry, it should be his children and his wife, towards him for lying and
    inciting this type of behavior. Glenn stop using the crying angle and using your family to get publicity. You are pathetic!
    Look at the link below to see the behavior of his “followers” at the “Restore Honor” Rally

  24. Richard

    “If what he reports is accurate”? Well, that would be a first. Was there independent confirmation of any of his version of events, or is this another chalkboard fantasy conspiracy? Maybe the squirrels in the park were secretly agents of ACORN, too? I mean, squirrels, ACORN, it’s so obvious — if you’re Glenn Beck.

  25. alberto

    hey, you reap what you sow..this big mouth bigoted idiot can get on television and insult people and be so direspectful to people , protected by the big screen, but is ironically appalled that when mr hot shot goes out in public that the same crap gets thrown back at him? good for him. he should learn a lesson from his own stupdity.

    • Manning

      Typical brainless and idiotic liberal response. What insults idiot? Who does he insult? The communists? The corrupt people in this administration? Van Jones? Glenn is fighting for your right to post the crap you just posted. You probably don’t even watch him or Foxnews. You just heard from other liberal morons that hating him was the right thing to do.

      Families should left out of it no matter what side of the aisle you are on. Your type won’t learn your lesson until all your freedoms are taken over from you; until your Mcdonalds disappear from view. Then you’ll take to the streets to burn tires and cry like sissies. GRAB A BRAIN IDIOT!

  26. LD

    I can’t believe this. I won’t vote for Obama again.

  27. Mary

    Two black males shouted “Obama and black power rule!!!” after spilling wine on Beck’s wife. When Beck stood up to help his wife one of the black males said, “We hate white conservatives here! You are not welcome here! GO!!”. I was there behind Beck.

  28. Joe

    Now I despise Glenn Beck, but I’d never want to do him harm. Even though I certainly do not agree with his opinions one bit he still has a right to them and to act in just a way is disgusting.

  29. Becky

    Quote “if i ever put my family in danger by saying the kinds of bigoted, hateful and intolerant things beck says on the air, i would deserve whatever i got.”

    yes you would deserve whatever you got… your family however would not deserve it!!!!
