Glenn Beck can dish it out... but he can't seem to take it.
He's sicking his lawyers on the site glennbeckrapedandmurderedayounggirlin1990.com. Problem is, they don't have a strong case.

See: http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2009/9/10/780161/-Glenn-Beck-gets-a-dose-of-his-own-medicine-and-doesnt-like-it

Glenn Beck gets a dose of his own medicine and doesn't like it

Via Ars Technica, Glenn Beck has sent his lawyers against the owners of the satirical site, http://glennbeckrapedandmurderedayounggirlin1990.com/.

Apparently he doesn't like it when his own tactics are used against him.

Element 61's diary :: ::
How'd the site come about? Like all satire, somebody just thought it would be funny and went for it:

One of the Fark readers then took the forum meme to the next level, registering a domain name and launching a web site in order to make a point about talking head TV demagoguery. "Why won't Glenn Beck deny these allegations?" asks the site. "We're not accusing Glenn Beck of raping and murdering a young girl in 1990—in fact, we think he didn't! But we can't help but wonder, since he has failed to deny these horrible allegations. Why won't he deny that he raped and killed a young girl in 1990?" At the very bottom of the page was a small text disclaimer saying that the site was satirical.

The site went big, fast -- more than 120K hits in a day after it went up on September 1. Beck immediately went berserk:

10. Noted. Should've said "sissy" and didn't want to use the other.
It's not as if I don't have any strong female role models in my life.

13. "Wussy" or "Wuss" is the safest description to use (IMO)
It's pretty inoffensive, but the intent is obvious. :smoke:

4. Of all the odious things the Republicans did during the Bush Reign of Error
They forgot to repeal one simple rule: Turnabout is still fair play. And Glenn (the extra "n" is for knowledge!) Beck sure as shitfire doesn't like having his own spew turned on him. If he was working for a legitimate outfit, he'd have been canned a long time ago.

15. Someone I know...
has a "Glenn Beck" Twitter account. People are actually signing up to follow it.
What do you think Glennie should say to his admirers? :evilgrin:

16. Of course
These people (Beck, O'Reilly, Hannity, rush, etc...) know they are just entertainers, but their listeners don't. When someone speaks against them they foam at the mouth because they don't understand that their "entertainment" really causes dimwitted nimrods to act.

17. Thanks for that! I'd been hearing about that site, but wasn't sure it really existed.
And here's something to frighten the kiddies with:

26. A few weeks ago, I had outraged a few here on DU.
When that lipstick-smeared Obama/Joker Photoshop began appearing on the web, I "conceded" that it was legitimate political satire. But my FIRST thought was: "If EVER there was a face that so DESERVED to get that same Photoshop treatment, it would be that CREEP!" My "prayers" were answered! I found that image linked from the above provided URL!

21. I find it difficult to believe that Glen Beck raped and murdered a girl in 1990.
Difficult...not impossible.

28. I just Googled "Beck + rape"... it's gone viral.
Even the wingnut sites are inadvertently adding to the Google search hits by openly discussing how "awful" the whole thing is in their forums :)

29. If you search Beck Girl, the question is on the first page results, 6th from top.
Of course the song Girl by Beck is at the top. I think everyone should go click on the result we think should be at the top. :evilgrin:
