Glenn Beck sued for defamation after calling victim of Boston Marathon bombings the 'money man'

Glenn is a disinformation shill.

His job is to point his audience in any direction but the one they should be paying attention to.

Interesting to note how much "help" (media coverage) he receives and from whom.

The article doesn't mention that the US deported him back to Saudi Arabia for national security reasons after he got out of the hospital.

U.S. ‘deporting Saudi person of interest’
“That’s very interesting because this is the way things are done with Saudi Arabia. You don’t arrest their citizens. You deport them, because they don’t want them to be embarrassed and that’s the way we appease them.”


Look back at 9/11. There were 19 hijackers and all were from Saudi Arabia. I think it's a given that they had more Saudis over here providing material support who were never arrested.

To this day there are major lawsuits still making their way through the court system. Plaintiffs (not just crazy conspiracy theorists, but big insurance companies) are attempting to obtain secret documents detailing Saudi Arabia's involvement.

Struggling to detail alleged Saudi role in 9/11 attacks - Philly.com
"The 28 pages of the joint inquiry report are absolutely critical to the claims brought against Saudi Arabia," said Sean Carter, a Cozen partner who has managed much of the litigation for the firm. "Those pages contain details and findings concerning the possible direct involvement of Saudi government officials living in the United States in support of the 9/11 hijackers.



Whether or not this kid was involved in Boston we may never know, but this lawsuit against Beck could be a shot across the bow of the media as a warning to not involve Saudis in future stories.

Suzanne - I am fully aware that raising children is a huge undertaking. It's also unfortunate that women have to work outside of the home to support the rugrats now. However - that's choice. You choose to have a kid if you already have a full load and you've made a decision to add to it. It's not society's job to raise your kid for you just because you choose to work. If you choose a full time career, is it a good thing to also have kids if you aren't going to have time for them?

These are questions we all have to ask. Choices we all have to make.

The school's main purpose is socialize kids - to teach skills and knowledge bases that will allow kids to function in our corporate society. They do that to an extent other than recent PC crap pulling their ability to do any teaching into the ditch. You can drop your kid off at a school and they will learn at least part of what they are taught. If you want a truly intelligent child, you do some of the work yourself. That's just the way it is.

I was taught much at home - and we had one of the highest ranking school systems. We had a teacher that was probably the best in the country. Right now on our school FB page you can see a post about him. Post after post after post of how this man changed student's lives, by students who claim he was the driving force behind their success - even though many are not working in his field. Yet if you look further, you can see the parental and community influence behind those who lived in my town. Those who became successful had parents that put a lot into their kid's futures. Our parents organized and took us places - through historical sites, through factories, to zoos and botancial gardens. The schools taught us things - but it was the parents who brought it all to life for us.

I'm sorry our economy went the way it did. Kids are full time jobs and people have to make the choice whether they can deal with them or not. I did that. I realized I wouldn't be able to give the kids what I was given and chose not to have any. At a later date if things had changed, I might have adopted, but it seems my choice was the right one. I've been able to open the world of rock and gem hunting to a few and it was extremely rewarding. Schools can teach geology - but they aren't able to bring it to life for the students. I learned a little botany from school, It was my mother who taught me to garden. I learned geography in school. It was my dad who taught me to find my way around and survival skills.

Maybe, if money is a problem that keeps people working too many hours to raise kids they chose to have, they could cut some expenses? Maybe cable TV, a few other monthly electronic bills, fewer "designer status quos crap that really teaches kids nothing but consumerism?

I can't buy the argument that parents are too busy for their kids. Most people knew they were busy already when they had the kids. Most people know if they're too financially strapped to afford kids. The argument that everyone needs to have kids just because they have reproductive organs is lost on me completely. I had the same choices everyone else did, and made what I felt was the most responsible choice rather than the one that was the most self gratifying.

Interesting update article on the Boston bombing.

Claude, I'll help you out. Here's the first line for your book:

"Claude Whitacre was a lonely child, so lonely, in fact, that even his imaginary friends were often found playing with the children across the street."

This suit is for attention only, and I highly doubt it's going anywhere.

You have to prove the people in charge knowingly knew the info was false, then you have to prove they knowingly put the info out there to intentionally damage people.

Considering how much chaos and disinformation actually surrounded the whole Boston Bombing story, it's going to be hella hard to prove at best.

To TL the Liberator: You really need to read up on David Brock, the guy who runs Media Matters...if there ever was a poster for irresponsible journalism, his picture would front and center on the poster. I'm still waiting for my refund from buying 'The Real Anita Hill' from the guy....just saying.

Of course, the wildcard in that assessment is beliefs. Beliefs often color the perception of an experience.

I like the puzzle analogy. I will probably steal it from you at some point, but don't worry, I'll "spin" it so it passes Copyscape.
