On The View, Goldberg calls Beck "lying sack of dog mess" after he admits he "mischaracteriz[ed]" story

Yeah keep deluding yourself and next year at this time when NO wrongdoing is found by ACORN perhaps it will finally dawn on you how brainwashed you are and how easy you are to use and program

Isn't it interesting that he admitted he lied, FL? Or is that not news?

The only acorn Beck is exposing is the one he stuck up his rear to try and tease the squirrel in there to come back out.

Exposing ACORN? As in investigative journalism? Glenn Beck? He admitted he was no journalist. We're supposed to give a crap about what a commentator, a known liar at that, has to say?

You're dumber than you seem to be if you believe Beck about anything.

Chump.

Fox anchors never let their guests get a word in edgewise.

Well, for the most part, I remember him trying to interrupt them and them not letting him. And the things you and Glenn Beck don't know about Acorn could fill volumes.

and beck isnt a fraud for lying? on his radio show....and then getting called out on it?

way to change the subject.

HAHAHAHAHAHA What a joke! Just keep spouting off your Beck and Limbutt talking points and expose yourself for the mindless droid that you are. Really, your talking point is outdated and quite frankly as tired as the comment and the commenter.

It is also a common trait of kids to make things up, just like you are.

McCarthy waved his paper in front of the womens's club and made various statements, including the one to Murrow. He actually only brought formal accusations against a small number of people in the investigation that led to the Army McCarthy hearings. I couldn't remember whether it was eleven or seventeen, so I went for the larger number. He also led some investigations in other agencies he believed had been infiltrated by Communists or their sympathizers and he made numerous comments in support of the investigations and accusations being conducted by others.

I've never heard that he actually produced the alleged names on the list and remember him being criticized for this. The term, "McCarthyism" was coined about one month after his rise to prominence. I think it's actually the "Venona" papers and their importance lies in combination with the KGB files releases. There are historians that contest the reliability of some to many of those identifications. I have heard that all or most of the persons formally charged by McCarthy are confirmed by the Soviet Files.

If you really want a reference, here's a passage from Wikapedia. It's short on specific details but in the summary of his Senate career you'll see the very limited nature of McCarthy's involvement in these matters. He was a figure that the Left focussed on and made a symbol out of. Without their condemnation and focus he probably would not have appeared a prominent figure at the time.

Wikipedia -
Joseph McCarthy himself headed the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations in 1953 and 1954, and during that time used it for a number of his Communist-hunting investigations. McCarthy first examined allegations of Communist influence in the Voice of America, and then turned to the overseas library program of the State Department. Card catalogs of these libraries were searched for works by authors McCarthy deemed inappropriate. McCarthy then recited the list of supposedly pro-communist authors before his subcommittee and the press. Yielding to the pressure, the State Department ordered its overseas librarians to remove from their shelves "material by any controversial persons, Communists, fellow travelers, etc." Some libraries actually burned the newly forbidden books.[26]
McCarthy's committee then began an investigation into the United States Army. This began at the Army Signal Corps laboratory at Fort Monmouth. McCarthy garnered some headlines with stories of a dangerous spy ring among the Army researchers, but ultimately nothing came of this investigation.[27] McCarthy next turned his attention to the case of a U.S. Army dentist who had been promoted to the rank of major despite having refused to answer questions on an Army loyalty review form. McCarthy's handling of this investigation, including a series of insults directed at a brigadier general, led to the Army-McCarthy hearings, with the Army and McCarthy trading charges and counter-charges for 36 days before a nationwide television audience. While the official outcome of the hearings was inconclusive, this exposure of McCarthy to the American public resulted in a sharp decline in his popularity.[28] In less than a year, McCarthy was censured by the Senate and his position as a prominent force in anti-communism was essentially ended.

well why dont you cite where you pulled this from so your facts can be checked

You have to admit it, McCarthy was right almost 5% of the time, which is pretty darn good for a Conservative these days.

get it right its VENONA

Delusional again....http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/02/12/politics/uwire/main3823725.shtml

He didn't admit to lying about the seats but was caught in a lie about Ms. Walters calling him over. So everything that he said is suspect.

If you are going to ignore his lie and say he was telling the truth about the reservation, they your judgement is suspect.

So you think that Walters and Goldberg didn't reserve the seats, and yet some anonymous representative from Amtrak told Glenn Beck that they had, in fact, reserved those seats?

No, Beck simply lied. He lied about whether the reservations existed and he lied about whether Amtrak allows reservations.

He admitted that the guy never said the seats were reserved. They guy had just indicated that Walters and Goldberg were going to sit there.

Exactly. Compare how weasely Beck gets when he's confronted with the disparity between his courtesy on the train and how he decided to mock them on his show. It's classic b.s. stuff. "But I knew I was going to come on the show!" So that makes it OK that he lied? From my perspective, it makes it seem a bit more pathological.

I'm sure he knows many of his Fox viewers don't watch the View. And a lot of the time, it doesn't matter if a lie is eventually rebutted. It's already halfway around the world before the truth gets its shoes on.
