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.

I wish Sarah Palin was in that Wendy's !!!

[kayatarms]

And it surprised the racist bigot that the trucker had food in his hair? Glenn might remember those days in the past, with a hurl ring of the o'l toilet bowl kind to it. Raving lunatics talk head idiots in a glass house, should be able to have stones and rants thrown back at those who offend. So the heck with Beck!

[atoonce]

Is this what we have become that Glenn Beck can dish out his vile filth over the public airwaves?

[NoOtherWay]

Hey, trucker man. Next time don't warn him first.

[enjen]

Is this what we've become? Are you kidding?

[Dee123]

huffington post, i don't understand why you pend all of my comments, but print others on the website. My comments aren't any worse than anyone else.

[Abby1]

Don't worry....the same thing happens to me a lot.

[NoOtherWay]

They automatically won't post if the comment contains certain words that they consider taboo.

[hellie]

Flipping through five pages of these comments, I see there is not one commenter who is in defense of Glen Beck. I'm glad to know that my unmitigated revulsion for this sanctimonious hack is shared by so many!

[iblog]

Spoke too soon.

See below @ Defaultgirl.

The name is applicable.

[iblog]

LOL!

Beck thought he was in his element. He was prepared to give autographs and have his picture taken, Frosties in hand.

Translation:
"I wanted to say...". I choked and pee peed.
"I separated myself..." He used a kid as a shield.

I swear I would have been on the floor to hear that guy tell him he'd run over his @ss.

He's SO important that he has a certified SWAT team. Shaddup.

[speckitis]

I think he's also claiming the guy beat him and drew a backwards "B" on his cheek.

[Defaultgirl]

I would hardly call him a bigot. He seems pretty sensible to me, just another average guy. Personally I like him and think he has valid points. Now if you want to run over someone repeatedly....try KO from MSNBC. Guy is a nut job.

[iblog]

No, you wouldn't call him a bigot since you agree with his bigotry.

But the truck driver did ever so eloquently.

Poetic Justice.

[speckitis]

Beck is a deluded, irrational, reactionary hot head. He spews nonsense designed to inflame. His voice is not constructive. He contributes nothing.

[Nikola Tesla]

He should go back to drinking. Maybe his sanity will return.

[Abby1]

KO is handsome....and I like him.

[changeorbust]

Get a grip Sheep.

[hellie]

Whoa, Defaultgirl! Where do you live that guys like Beck are "average"?? Scary!

KO's got heart, he's informed, and I doubt there's a mean-spirited bone in his body. I'm certain he actually even reads! Beck, I'm not so sure, in spite of his day-long Border's tour.

[Nikola Tesla]

Dirtbag. I hope he gets colon cancer.

[speckitis]

Wrong way around.... Colon cancer should get him!

[Dee123]

Does anyone know why everything i say on huffington post is pended before displayed?

[biotechwoman]

What goes around, comes around!

[sammyscout]

unfortunately truck drive dude did not spot G.Beck in the parking lot and rid us of this sc um

[primordialsoup]

Gee, Glenn, did you ever hear of a line from the Bible that goes something like, "You reap what you sow"?
