Restoring-Honor-Rally-Glenn-Beck-Rally

After being called on a white lie he told during his Restoring Honor rally, Glenn Beck admitted Thursday that he stretched the truth because he “thought it would be a little easier.”

Beck had claimed that he held George Washington’s handwritten first Inaugural Address in his hands at the National Archives, but a spokeswoman at the institution said he did no such thing. Keith Olbermann, Ed Schultz and others called him out for the fabrication.

    lol why is this news? It’s like reporting that a snake admits to slithering on the ground.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/CaliFemme23/ CaliFemme23

    What white person doesn’t lie????

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/lexistyles/ lexistyles

    @Cali…lol…you got that right…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/2Paclookinmofo/ 2Paclookinmofo

    I didn’t know lying was color specific…

    Is that why there’s a “white lie” and no black one?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/2Paclookinmofo/ 2Paclookinmofo

    and if your part white do you lie part of the time?

    @califemme23….I have grown to love your blogs, but this one is not only wrong, but it makes us black people look stupid!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/_A_/ _A_

    This little explanation is so stupid. What he doesn’t realize is, that’s why EVERYBODY lies. It’s usually easier than telling the truth. For him to make a joke about it just shows how comfortable he really is with it. Remember the lie he told about Whoppi and Walters? I hate to generalize but most substance abusers are compulsive liars. As many know, this is a skill they hone during the years of abuse when they think they are fooling people. My only question is, will his followers ever believe anything he has to say again? As much as he is trying to undermine the whole thing, i’m quite sure he has probably lost some followers with that one….

    What was the point of the damn lie? It was obvious to big himself up.

    @Southern_ATLien. Beautifully put

    @Califemme23. Word up

    @2Pac. It’s not color specific, but there is a group who have MASTERED it. That’s what Cali is talking about. Who else you know has gained and attained so much on a foundation of lies??

    I meant to say downplay instead of undermine. Forgive me.

    Wow Newnumnuts1 yall really love dumb beck, dumazzblubber limpbaugh, and any none black commentors whose racist asinine comment fuel the hate of aa in the usa. Everytime you come on here yall have to have dumb this that or limpbaugh this or that dam are these the best you can find?

    Uhmm to the individual who assumes that ones comments represent the whole black race wake up note I called you an individual that how it goes as well.

    Anothers thoughts, comments, or actions do not represent the whole black race I know of one races that assumes that and it leaves me to assume that you are from that race hmmm?
    note I said assume

    Now back to the topic why would anyone be surprised that that pos has lied if newsone following him as closely as they do than they would note a majority of his rabie comments are full of lies he an azzhole although he may be marketing himself to the other masses of azzholes like him how can he be proud of his work smh

    What was that about Restoring Honor?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/CaliFemme23/ CaliFemme23

    beantown2010, Thanx for ‘loving’ my blogs….I’m gettin kind of used to my devoted followers on here… hahahah!

    Now tell me, how did I manage to make the ENTIRE race look stupid? The black race does that very well without my help. So I guess T.I. going to jail makes us all guilty, Fantasia having an affair with a married man makes us all amoral, Jesse Jackson being full of shyt means the rest of us are as well….??????? I think you get my point.

    My brother _A_ hit the nail on the head. Once again, what white person you know of in some position of power or influence hasn’t lied to get there and maintain????

    When black people make it to the top they were indeed lied to…

    When whites make it to the top they did the lying….

    Now carry the hell on folks…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/differentcloth/ differentcloth

    For all that are associating lies with skin color, Look at it like this; whites have lied about pretty much everything we know. From how America was found to the picture of Yesus. So in that sense, the scale will definitely tilt in favor of them more so lieing than not… Just saying when you look @ history….

AND FANTASIA GET INTO A CONVERSATION ABOUT GLENN BECK LYING AT A RALLY YOUR EXPOSED BUT THIS IS NOTHING NEW MOST OF YOUR COMMENTS WILL ATTACK BLACKS WHEN THS STORY IS ABOUT A WHITE PERSON THATS WHAT YOUR ABOUT ANYTHING SAID ABOUT A WHITE PERSON YOU WILL SAY ITS THE BLACKS COLORED PEOPLE FAULT THATS WHO YOU ARE

    @CALIFEMME DO YOU THINK YOUR BETTER THAN THE AVERAGE BLACK WOMEN I KNOW A LOT OF BLACK WOMEN BELEIVE ME YOUR NOT MAYBE ON THE INTERNET YOU THINK YOUR BETTER YOUR NOT.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/_A_/ _A_

    What the hell is this BlackCO talking about? Califemme23 makes one statement based on her personal feeling and she is trying to speak for the entire race? I respect everyone’s right to express themselves and for others to oppose, but when you start making up crap, that has to be dealt with. Please someone tell me where CAli even comes remotely close to SUGGESTING she is speaking for the entire race? Come on people, it’s a blog/open forum, and it should be UNDERSTOOD that the views expressed are personal, unless some of you simpletons need to see “IN MY VIEW” before or after every statement posted here.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/PR-BLACKCO/ PR-BLACKCO

    @ A EVERYBODY ENTITLED TO THERE OWN OPINION BUT WHAT DO THIS FORUM HAVE TO DO WITH T.I. FANTASIA AND JESSE JACKSON SINCE SHE BOUGHT THEM UP AND YOUR NOW SPEAKING OF HER I ALREADY KNOW WHAT YOUR ABOUT YOUR AN INTERNET MOUTHPIECE BUT YOUR NOT SAYING NOTHING BUT THE SAME STUFF YOUVE BEEN SAYING INSTEAD OF TALKING ABOUT THE PROBLEMS WHY DONT YOU GIVE SOME SOLUTIONS

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/PR-BLACKCO/ PR-BLACKCO

    @ A IM GOING TO KEEP IT RESPECTFULL WITH YOU AS LONG IS YOU DO MY QUESTION TO YOU IS WHOS PAYING YOU TO BE AN INTERNET MOUTHPIECE AND WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR INFORMATION FROM CONSIDERING YOUR IN THE BAHAMAS

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/blksouthern_belle/ blksouthern_belle

    LOl@southern atlien. Since when was lying a new occurence with ppl like beck???

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/_A_/ _A_

    Lol…AT Blackco. He wants to suggest that because someone is in the Bahamas or anywhere else in the world besides the US, they don’t have access to information…Just shows or at least suggests that you haven’t done much traveling in your life. See, this is why when you do travel, you find that people abroad hate Americans because of the perceived arrogance, not because they are “free.”

    Internet Mouthpiece? Well what are you? What is Angelix? How about Lexistyles? Southern_AtLien? We are all just individuals weighing in on various topics. Nothing more or less. Why do you feel the need to blow it up to more than what it is? Now you claim I’m not saying nothing? Well I asked a question that you failed to answer, with a bunch of hyperbole.

    lastly, if you can’t see that Califemme23 is using TI, Fantasia and Jesse to show you that if you think any one individual can make an entire race look bad, then its more likely to be someone in the PUBLIC EYE and not someone on a BlackPlanet forum. But I will ask ONCE AGAIN

    Please someone tell me where CAli even comes remotely close to SUGGESTING she is speaking for the entire race?

    Please answer this question, or you will have exposed yourself as just one who wants to be argumentative and willing to look for any innocuous point to do so.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/_A_/ _A_

    I realize that I didn’t complete my point. I meant to say if you can’t see the point Cali is obviously making (TI Fantasia, Jesse) then it’s no wonder you are showing yourself out to be one who wants to argue for the sake of arguing.

    KML ooo look its yet another 2010 clan report on becky and another point out on his LIES he been telling. O’well its nothing new he will say…Ooops im sorry it was a SLIP of the TONGUE and I will APOLOGIZE later can I get a FREE PASS? Whites lie,blacks lie,other race lie,yet 2010 CLANS LIE MORE to cover up the MANY LIES they ALREADY TOLD.(JMO and my paid statement and im sticking to it.)

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/CaliFemme23/ CaliFemme23

    _A_, Thank you much for that post. I really don’t understand how PR-BLACKCO got my ONE line of commentary so utterly confused! But I digress….

    PR-BLACKCO, LOL! You took my comment so far off the mark I don’t even know where to start with you…

    There was absolutely NOTHING about my comment that said I was speaking for the entire black race. I have no intention or desire to do so. Now I don’t know where you got that from, but you’re totally wrong, but seeing is that you usually are, I’m sure me stating that obvious won’t ruffle your E-Feathers…

    Ok, I don’t know how I make the black race ‘look bad’ either, and once again when I speak anywhere for any reason, yes I am speaking for myself. Oh! And yes dear, I am indeed black. And if you can tell me I spend a lot of time on the internet, then the only way you would know that is if you spend the same amount of time checking for me….LOL. Thanx, but my ego is large enough all by itself…

    I only used the ‘jesse, fantasia, T.I. reference to point out the fact that no ONE person should represent the entire race, especially ME being is that I am a TINY voice in the world. Whereas the above mentioned public figures are much bigger, yet they don’t represent ALL of us either.

    *sigh*, I don’t know why you people are hell bent on as*suming that I think I’m better than everyone else. There are A LOT of black people out there doing bigger and better things than I am, I recognize it, and applaud them for it. Your comprehension skills are deplorable to say the least because you didn’t understand ANYTHING I posted. You don’t have any idea of me outside of this website and I take that into account so as to NOT truly shred, rip, stomp on and roll over your dead ass ego.

    You confuse my confidence and intelligence with arrogance. Arrogant people usually have no business to be as such, but a confident person has every right. But I ‘aint’ mad at you for expressing what you think of me….I know that every time I hit that ‘POST COMMENT’ on the screen, I leave myself open for criticism, agreement, disagreement, angst and often times anger.

    Once again, carry on folks….

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/CaliFemme23/ CaliFemme23

    One more little thing…Why do so many people have something to say about _A_ living in the Bahamas? It’s called newspapers, internet, television, magazines, books and conversations. It doesn’t take a scholar to figure out how to get information on ANY subject they choose to. I believe the site is called BLACKPLANET, not black united states, black east/west coast, but BLACK PLANET….And oh my goodness there are black people in the Bahamas!

    I swear there should be a mandatory brain function entrance exam to register with the site. PR-BLACKCO wouldn’t have made it!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/billss/ billss

    Wow,The liberal media has nothing better to do.Why dont they play the footage of AL Sharpton lying on Fox news on the Bill oreilly show when they have video of him Contradicting himself.Thats more of a news story than this bull crap.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/billss/ billss

    Such Ignorance,”what white person does not lie” I guess a person can say “what black person does not gang bang”

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/CaliFemme23/ CaliFemme23

    billss, You are absolutely right! ANY white person can say ‘what black person does not gang bang’ all they want to, and they still don’t SPEAK for their entire race. Neither did I, but you are a conservative black who is ITCHING to be white…Understood.

    I see you didn’t read ANY of my other posts, nor the ones by _A_, but it’s cool though, I already know your particular angle when it comes to me…I hurt ya feelings a while back and you still aren’t over it yet….

    Deep breath…

    think…..

    EXHALE…

    repeat… ;-) LOL!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/billss/ billss

    @cali…..I like how ur trying to back pedal from such a dumb and ignorant comment.Typical for alot of liberals.And u make another dumb and ignorant comment “me itching to be white” another liberal tactic u guys use when u have no facts or common sense to back ur arguments… Try to make personal attacks.Well I have a personal attack towards u…”Go get ur disgusting grill braced up” :-)

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/CaliFemme23/ CaliFemme23

    billss, *Sigh*, I am not a liberal, democrat, republican, conservative, tea party member, naacp member, fox news lover, CNN lover, right wing, leftist etc…I don’t claim ANY group affiliations what so ever. Black is the only one I claim.

    I haven’t back peddled from anything, no reason to. But I see you threw a ‘physical’ attack at me, I see you must be more hurt than I originally thought you were…Pull ya skirt down and stand up straight dude. But Cali is quite used to people who can’t debate properly to go straight for the name calling and insults. Immaturity is tacky and I refuse to indulge with you…Have fun.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/billss/ billss

    @cali….are u that stupid or that uneducated?? U dont resort to insults? yet u said “I am itchin to be white” I guess i should take that as a compliment huh? u say u dont claim being a liberal but u are.Obviously u are a hypocrite also,Dont get defensive…..u can dish it but u cant take it.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/CaliFemme23/ CaliFemme23

    @bills,

    Aight bruh, whatever you say. You know me so well, you got me, my secret is out, I’m a liberal. I’m stupid and uneducated, I’m also a hypocrite. I can dish it but I can’t take it as well…Ok ok! You win! You have exposed my flaws and I can’t ‘refudiate’ them….

    Yeah I said ‘refudiate’, isn’t that what ya educated girl, lady Palin said??? lol

    Glenn Beck is a schmuck. Let’s get that straight first. And anyone who follows him, is a schmuck puppet.

    But, it doesn’t matter who many lies he tells. People think Obama put us in Iraq and Afghanistan. People think Obama allowed for American jobs to be shipped overseas and corporations to be bought by foreign investors. People also think Obama eradicated our middle class. The Republicans who created this mess get a pass because Obama is black.

    Supposed “black Americans” want to ridicule Obama for all of this mess. But none of them would give back “our socialist president’s” stimulus paychecks.

    @marcus_james36,with you 100%!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/CAROLINAGIRLSRDABEST/ CAROLINAGIRLSRDABEST

    @marcus_james36-I agree with you as well.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/billss/ billss

    @marcus…….using the race card like a typical ignorant fool.When in Doubt “use the black card”. When will u Lemmings realize most of this is POLITICS? Why was the BLACK MAN elected? Now that he has alot of opposition “its cause he’s black”? I swear u folks come across as weak minded little kids.If every President before OBAMA can get rediculed why can’t he? let me guess….CAUSE HE IS BLACK! ….GTFOH with that typical petty bullsh!t

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/infinite_question/ infinite_question

    wow, ive NEVER heard cali called a “liberal” b4. billss must be pretty new here. i will give u the intellectual debate u asked 4. beck is that hand held device from men in black that the gop waives in the face of those MILLIONS of laid off factory workers that are on their last unemployment check. but as low as beck has gotten over the past couple of months, he actually sounded less racist at the “revival”. that is, untill he sang “amazing grace”, that was the song the klan would sing as african americans were hung by the THOUSANDS.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/CamuiMS/ CamuiMS

    Billss, what the hell are you talking about. It’s not pulling the race card if it IS about race. Please pull your head out of whatever hole you chose to stick it in, the real world probably misses you. The far right has thrown everything at him: Obama isn’t American. Obama is a Muslim. Obama doesn’t like white people. All the watermelon jokes and monkey caricatures and dolls. They have never shown him one iota of respect, and it’s more than his policies they don’t like, it’s his race.

    Everyone is arguing with you because you’ve, apparently, been struck deaf, dumb, and blind. Either that or you are incredibly naive. If you want to talk about back peddling, watch Glenn Beck’s show.

    My point is, bravo marcus_james36

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/billss/ billss

    @camui……..Where is ur evidence that OBama is ridiculed cause he is black? And I mean evidence That politicians and The general public are doin this! Not the few racists crazies that every side has.Please show me this evidence,Like I said before Every president has gotten ridiculed by the opposition, the only reason Why blacks and urself are so concerned now is because ur PRESIDENT is BLACK and The left wing media is exploiting it even More! And take ur head out of the whole u have it in and do some research on what other presidents went through during their presidency…Maybe u wont sound like such a fool.
