Glenn Beck Accosted At Wendy's: "You Racist Bigot!"

Conservative personality Glenn Beck was accosted at his local Wendy's Saturday night, he said Monday on his radio show. In his attempt to procure a Frosty — "Everybody wants a Frosty," he said — he was stopped by a truck driver with food in his hair and called a "racist bigot."

"I wanted to say, I think you have me mistaken for someone else, but I knew he knew who I was and he just hated me for who I was," Beck said.

Beck's full Wendy's rant below:

It happened to me at Wendy's Saturday night. We are on the bus and we stop to get fuel and I said, I'm going to go in, I'm treating. Everybody wants a Frosty. I'm going to go get Frosties. And one of the security guys, said, No, you're not. I said, Yeah, I am. I mean, it's a truck stop. How much trouble am I going to get in in a truck stop? Everybody here you can trust. You're not going in. I went in, but I had to bring the swat team with me and so I'm just, I just want to Frosty, please, the guy standing next to me, who, by the way, I may point out. Had food in his hair, is a truck driver and he turned around. He looked at me and the recognition was immediate and he said, You racist bigot! And I just said -- I wanted to say, I think you have me mistaken for someone else, but I knew he knew who I was and he just hated me for who I was. You conservatives that have destroyed this country! And the hatred was so deep, it was breath taking. Luckily the swat team was there and I just separated myself from him and he just shouted through other people and there were children in the restaurant and he blamed me for everything, I believe including the Holocaust, and the hatred was palpable. The guy screamed at the restaurant, you better not let me see you in the parking lot because I've got a truck and I'll run your ass over! Wow. Is this who we've become? Is this who we've become?

The TV and radio personality recently signed a deal to jump to Fox News, where he will host the 5PM hour starting in spring 2009.

Can't take your own medicine, I see, Glenn.

"He who lives by the sword, shall die by the sword." "Ye shall reap what ye sow." etc. etc.

Don't expect anyone to feel sorry for you now that the hatred the repug right has stirrred up these last couple decades now falls back on 'em.

SO typical. Cast hate speech around indiscriminately and then whine when it's used back on ya! And you guys used to mock the other side for whining. PULEASE!!!!!

[theducator]

Looking in the Mirror, Glenn?
You better put on the shoe, because it fits.

[Capano]

Sounds like he got a dose of his own HATE! As a life long disgusted Republican (who will never vote GOP again)... had I been at Wendy's, there would have been two screaming at him; a trucker with food in his hair, and me, a REALLY PISSED OFF from GOP, cursing him in English and Italian..a­ll the way back to his bus of lies, deciet and dishonesty

[iLLogicaL]

This man writes like a fifth grader, and thinks like a first grader.

[myoungholt]

So now at least one of them knows what it feels like to be on the receiving end as a result of something inflammatory that he said. They couldn't imagine that just words would get those stupid dems so mad. After all, they were only intended to get repubs not to vote for that guy with the dark skin for president. Yeah, well, it did WAY more than that. So welcome to what you did, Beck!

[IntelligentDesign]

The ultra conservatives did almost ruin this country and they deserve to be roundly called out for their treasonous acts - Glenn Beck and his ilk are in for some tough times, and that is a good thing.

[RS]

Because these ultra conservatives sure know how to dish it out, but THEY SURE CAN'T TAKE IT!

[ShadyKiller]

The attacks against conservatives have increased a lot recently.

Just a while ago , a woman was mugged and robbed by a black man just because she had a McCain bumper sticker. And now this ...

God ... what are we coming to ...

[chaos4700]

LOL! Yeah really. I keep waiting for Beck to show is the backwards 'R' that the mysterious assailant shaved into his chest hair, or whatnot. ;)

[robbo24]

Damn straight. Glenn Beck tells lies for a living and now we're supposed to believe this fairy tale?! Please--this story stinks worse than a three-day old fish fillet sandwich.

[Eriq]

No, Glenn. We all cannot bear you for who you are. You're a bloody S.O.B., and if a truck driver actually manages to smack you to the ground in another Wendy's parking lot, many of us will laugh histerically and cheer.

[mykebee]

One bigot please...n­o pickles.

[iggy06]

Its about time. I expected these type of stories about 5 years ago.

[TurgidCaterwauling]

Gee, Beck probably went right home and wiped away those tears with $1000 bills.

[RS]

Uh, excuse me TurgidCate­rwauling--­just a minor issue--the U.S. Treasury stopped printing $1000 bills almost 40 years ago. Since 1969, the Treasury has not printed any bills higher than $100.

[ravenshroud]

Have to a gree with the "reap what you sow" people. You loud-mouth anger spewing pundits create the anger then wonder why it exists. Really?

[Balzac]

Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh are two guys I would be very tempted to punch in the face if I encountered them in person.

Actually, we ought to build a gulag for them on the arctic ice shelf so that when another chunk of the ice shelf breaks off and melts, they might feed a hungry polar bear.

[RS]

"Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh are two guys I would be very tempted to punch in the face if I encountered them in person. "


Mark my words--if either of these slobs came within 100 feet of my property, I'D BREAK BOTH OF THEIR LEGS WITH MY BASEBALL BAT!

[Balzac]

Memo to Glenn Beck: We really do hate you, but that's because you hate Freedom, America, humanity, ethnic people, women, and little children.

[Cybersquirt]

You reap what you sow, P|g.
