Radio and television host Glenn Beck has decided to back out as keynote speaker for the San Antonio Tea Party. He announced on his radio program on Thursday morning that he is concerned his presence may distract from the message the organizers are trying to send.

Now what??

[WeDidIt]

1. Maybe he heard about Stormfronters being big on Teabagging

Or may, just maybe, he googled "Teabagging".

[vaberella]

3. I hope both...n/t

[Drunken Irishman]

2. In other words: "You're all freaking nuts and I don't want to be associated with your freak asses!"

[vaberella]

5. I could believe this is the way it went. n/t

[Bucky]

9. I think he's just as nuts. He just can't stomach the hoi polloi who follow him

[blogslut]

4. In other words,

He has smelled the FAIL.

[Botany]

7. egg zack LEE

maybe he and Rick Warren can work on their excuses.

[Twinguard]

15. BINGO!!

[Initech]

6. Guess someone finally told him what teabagging means.

[Bucky]

8. The message being... "We'll suck Glenn Beck's balls"

It'll take years of yoga for this man to be a true tea bagger.

[Canuckistanian]

10. He must have threatened by some liberal elite socialist

I hear they have their secret headquarters in the Starbucks head office.

[rvablue]

11. Well, well, well. The back-peddling has begun. Maybe after his little gasoline-dousing thing

on Friday Cry Baby Beck finally got a call from Mr. Ailes telling him to tone down his incendiary rhetoric....or better yet....maybe he got a nice little visit from someone else telling him he was inching very close to breaking a law???

Another theory: There is zero doubt these tea-bagging parties are going to bring out the most vile and hateful racists and bigots. And Beck didn't want video or photos of him getting cheered and applauded by his fan base.

Very, very interesting.

Let's keep up the pressure.

[KamaAina]

12. Looks like I'm free for the 12th after all

:sarcasm:

[walldude]

13. There's a message? n/t

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

14. Dr. Frankenstein realizes he can't control his monster

Beck and the GOP and FOX organized these asshats.
Any fanatics caught on tape tomorrow should be tied to them

[Arugula Latte]

16. Douchebeck -- You know what this means, don't you? ----> You're a surrender monkey!

Sacre Bleu!

[vinylsolution]

17. Frightened little man...

... running, running, running ... from reality.

[DearAbby]

18. It's really something

when commentators of the "Fair and Balanced" network is actively participating in Anti Obama rallies. When the pretense is dropped, and they openly call for revolution against a sitting President.

Think back a few short years, what would they have called a person actively calling for revolution against Bush and his policies? Ask the many people who had their careers ruined just speaking out against it.

[Vickers]

19. Typical chickenhawk, backing away from responsibility.

:eyes:

[rocktivity]

20. But it was Fox News who organized it!

Tell them the REAL reason why you're backing out, Glenn--Astroturf burns!!!

:rofl:
rocktivity

[ColbertWatcher]

21. Blame libruls? n/t

[hadrons]

22. I'm guessing its one of two things; 1) sparse attendance or 2) no extra $$$

[ColbertWatcher]

23. It can't be sparse attendance. The tea bag parties will be huge!

Millions will show up!

Success will be far beyond expectations!

[Drunken Irishman]

25. HUGER THAN HUGE! YOU CAN SEE IT FROM SPACE!

[damntexdem]

24. Well, San Antonio doesn't have much of a seaport, anyway.

;-)

But how could his presence detract from the idiotic message the organizers are sending? It could only add to the idiocy.

[mitchum]

26. Aren't members of his magic underwear cult discouraged from drinking tea?

However, I don't know their stance on teabagging, but I imagine they use the standard one.
