Glenn Beck's Bodyguards were giving Moviegoers a Hard Time

Just a quick FYI -saw your article on Mr. Beck and his numerous FALSE claims about the way that he was treated at Bryant Park last night. Myself and several of my friends were seated immediately behind Mr. Beck & co (have pictures) and I can tell you that while the crowd was certainly not *thrilled* that he had shown up, his family was left completely alone, and for the most part he was too. Conversely, it was his security detail (two body guards) that seemed to be unnecessarily prickly with the crowd, scolding myself and my friends for acrobatics and other harmless activities taking place well before the movie started, and contributing to a considerably less relaxed atmosphere than is typically experienced during BPMN (I've been going for about six years now).

It was my friend that spilled the glass of wine on Tanya -and I can assure you that it was a complete accident. A happy one, to be sure, but nonetheless a complete and utter accident. As soon as the wine spilled (and I question how Tanya became soaked from a half glass of wine) apologies were made and my friends pretty much scrambled to give Tanya & co napkins -no doubt aware that it would look terrible and that their actions could be perceived as purposeful. No words were exchanged after that, as I think that it became pretty clear to Beck & co that my friends and I were doing everything in our capacity to help clean the "mess".

I'm sure it's unnecessary to point out the hypocrisy in Glen's statements that we were being hateful. I can assure him that we don't need his sympathy. Incidentally, none of us have made a career of "spewing hate" on the radio, or any other media platform. We live our lives intolerant only of those who don't tolerate: We have chosen New York as our city for that very reason. We do things like go to Bryant Park Movie Night, and vote to legalize gay marriage. We don't taunt Glen, or his family. And we certainly don't waste our wine, even on Tanya.

Thanks, and please let me know if you have further questions.

A woman named Lindsay Piscitell, who was sitting behind the Becks at Bryant Park (and whose friend is the one who allegedly "intentionally kicked wine" on Beck's wife), shared her version of events with New York magazine. She says the Becks were left alone and that his body guards were giving the moviegoers a hard time and throwing their weight around. As for that wine incident? Piscitell writes:

My favorite part of Glenn's 12-minute drone about the evening's event: He accuses people of applauding when the movie was over (because he and his family were leaving). Um, Glenn, that's what people do when movies end. They clap.

And goes out in public with him?

:scared: :puke:

some garbage to fill his show. He hopes people hate him, makes for better ratings.

He should have yelled and screamed at Beck since he knew who he was anyway. They might have left the park even faster, especially since nobody wanted them there.

Beckkk peddles his BS to the stupid masses but doesn't truly believe a word he even says because if he did he would live in an underground bunker and never come out, instead he attends movie night in a public park with a bunch of bodyguards like some half-ass celebrity.

Yeesh.

Bodyguards? Seriously? Get over yourself Beck.
