According to http://glennbeckrapedandmurderedayounggirlin1990.com/, we don't have unequivocal evidence to support these claims, but we also lack the evidence proving that he didn't.
"I'm not saying Glen Beck is a murdering child-rapist, I'm just afraid that he might be."
Glenn Beck has yet to refute these claims, so it must be true. I only know this mode of reasoning is logical because Beck thought it was very telling that the Whitehouse didn't either confirm or deny his accusations regarding the president's racism; therefore it must be true. Just sayin'. I mean rape, guys - RAPE! Just to even be accused of a crime like that says a lot about that person!
For more information on this injustice, just look at the search results for "Glen Beck Rape" on Google.
I find it ironic that those who are upset about these rumors are failing to understand the bigger point of this satirical stunt. Obviously whether you would prefer for something to be true or not has no bearing on the truth of the matter. It's difficult to get this point across so it must be delivered in a highly provocative way so that people will get the point. However, these very same people are lost in the irony and speak out against this, yet fail to uphold the actual source of their news to the very same standard. Point made? I leave you with this insightful post found on Reddit:
No one's falsley acussing him of rape, that's the whole point! We're mocking him and are upfront about it all over these threads. Beck convinces his audience that Obama is a racist, socialist, illegal immigrant who wants to kill your grandma but is protected by the way he framed his arguments. We're framing our statement the same way to prove how dangerous it really is. Afterall I did NOT say he raped anyone. I'm just saying I think he did! (via)
UPDATE:
Keith Olberman, in his "World's Worst" segment, the person who started the Glenn beck rumor is featured as one of the three.

Olberman stated that no matter how wrong it is for Beck to state the baseless claims he makes, it doesn't justify acting out in a fashion that Beck does.
A fellow Redditor had this convincing statement in response:
If Keith Olbermann has proof that Glenn Beck did not defecate and urinate on a young girl in 1990, and that he did not menace her with knives, confine her in a dog cage and write "kill me I'm a slut" on her body in a substance resembling blood before murdering her with a rotary lawnmower then he should present his evidence. What is Keith Olbermann hiding?
ahahahahahahahahahahaha
ReplyDeleteAbsence of evidence is most likely evidence of wrong doing!!! Or at least in the Fox (Faux?) News world.
