I think I heard that Glenn Beck raped and killed a girl in 1990, but the way I heard it was that it was his illegitimate daughter. Or maybe one of his “real” ones-I just can’t recall. I’m not saying he did and I’m not saying he didn’t, but when and if he takes that lie detector test (and what is the delay on that?), they might want to ask that question. Has anyone seen his daughters since 1990? Anyone know where his illegitimate daughter might be? Oslo’s so pretty this time of year. ---

You know, there’s really no proof at all that it _was_ 1990. ---

Well, we’d know for sure if he would release the police report. ---

> [@eleanorigby](#): > > The video link to the Katy Couric interview has been taken down by CBS. I wish I could have seen it. You can watch it here: [http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=5330485n](http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=5330485n) His totally inappropriate, bizarre-ass response to Katie’s polite request (actually a viewer’s polite request) to explain what he meant by “white culture” begins at about 20:00. Especially weird considering how polite and soft-ball her interview was, on the whole. ---

I fast-forwarded to 20:00 and watched about 5 minutes of very non-linear posturing and deflection by Beck. I have no love for Couric, but I have to give her credit for 1. keeping a straight face and 2. actually sitting through Beck’s nonsense. I’m leaning toward pathological narcissism or drugs at this point. Now, I didn’t watch the whole thing, so perhaps he explained the raped and dead girl to Katie. I sure hope so. Maybe she got to see current pictures of his daughters, which would put THAT rumor to rest. I’m all for progress and truth. ---

Yes, but NOT in 1990. I believe that is well established. ---

So what DID he do in 1990? I don’t like this - it looks like a total whitewash of an entire year! Beck should release details of his whereabouts in 1990. ---

Why won’t Glenn Beck just release his daily planner for 1990? What is he trying to hide? Reasonable people want to know. ---

Well geez, people, other than all of those lies you copypastad, WHAT OTHER LIES HAS HE TOLD? If you can’t refute things other people have done, you can’t say that Glenn Beck lies. Or something. And the fact that others were fired, which is what is supposed to happen when you work for a news organization and don’t bother fact-checking before you go live seems to not matter at all. Other people got fired for not fact-checking: therefore, your copypasta is invalid. My hair is not a bird, but I’m starting to wonder about **Stephe96** ’s brain. ---

> [@42fish](#): > > Of Glenn Beck or Katie Couric? 'Cause I could get behind either one. Wait… I thought Glenn Beck murdered Katie Couric’s daughter in 1990. Has anyone ever seen Katie Couric’s daughter? IN 1990? Well, see? I rest my case… If only he’d come forward with The Truth. Let’s put this behind us, Glenn. I appeal to your sense of justice and humanity because goshdarnit… \… I just love my country! ---

"Glenn Beck was in the middle of pining for a ‘simpler time’ in America when he decided the best way to illustrate this idea was to show two advertisements from said ‘simpler time.’ One was a classic Coca-Cola ad, the other a Kodak ad. These examples of Americana were so moving to Beck that he just couldn’t help himself; he begin to tear up (not for the first time). His monologue, which was interrupted a few times by his tears, began with the wisdom that politicians can’t take us back to that simpler time; they can only take us farther away. It then devolved into a strange and extended analogy of America as a teenage kid who got dragged to a party he didn’t really want to go to, and where his friends poured beer on him, and that ended with dad doing what’s right."

Maybe we’ve just learned something about Beck’s own childhood we didn’t really need to know. ---
