Glenn Beck: Scott Brown is "creepy"
http://www.theweek.com/article/index/105466/Is_Scott_Brown_creepy

SNIP

Scott Brown's startling victory in the high-stakes Massachusetts Senate race was celebrated by conservatives everywhere, with one notable exception: Influential Fox News host, Glenn Beck, who seized on Brown's acceptance speech, in which he introduced his 19- and 21-year-old daughters as "available" to their evident embarrassment. Slamming the Senator-elect as a "creepy" dad who was "pimping" out his girls, Beck also noted that Brown had posed nearly nude for Cosmopolitan magazine in the 80s. Are these "embarrassing" details — followed swiftly by lurid media reports about Brown's wife — a warning that Brown is unfit for office, or is Beck just stirring the pot?

Brown's speech was certainly disturbing: The Senator-elect's remarks about his daughters were "weird" and "gross," says Anna North at Jezebel, especially when you consider his history of "sexist" conduct. Brown recently, for example, refused to condemn violently sexual and obscene comments that one of his supporters made about Martha Coakley, Brown's Democratic rival. Face it: We all know that Brown would have spoken differently "if he'd had sons."
"All the single ladies"

2. Glenn Beck is right on this one, Scott Brown is creepy.
But Glenn should realize that he too is creepy.

3. Beck makes Brown look like Mary Poppins
"Beck" and "creepy" are a perfect match.

5. I find it much more offensive that Brown thinks he has a sense of humor
He was obviously trying to be funny. I doubt he meant it in any way but he thought it would be funny. That's what's weird to me since it shows he's pretty stupid rather than a misogynist or sexist.

6. i hate to defend Scott Brown
Edited on Sat Jan-23-10 07:00 PM by JI7
but remember when Beck had that person on with the Pelosi mask and he was saying "drink it" and i think they were joking it was poison or something. THAT was creepy along with many other things Beck has done.

none of the reasons he gave for Brown being creepy are creepy.

8. jon stewart chided olbermann for this ridiculous claim
"Brown recently, for example, refused to condemn violently sexual and obscene comments that one of his supporters made about Martha Coakley, Brown's Democratic rival. "

it's a stupid argument.

he's supposed to condemn every nutcase thing somebody in the crowd yells out?

23. Hey, Glenn knows Creepy! Yes, Brown CERTAINLY wouldn't have said his two SONS were available!
now would he??? NO, didn't think so, but he says that about his daughters - moments after winning???? what was he implying???? donations to his re-election? It IS creepy. His young sons of that age, if he had them, wouldn't have been 'pimped' in that strange manner.


pig, bigot, sexist, homophobic, nude model = hiding something.
