Eric Massa On Glenn Beck: Congressman Going Out SWINGING

** UPDATES BELOW **

Outgoing Rep. Eric Massa (D-NY) is scheduled to appear on Glenn Beck's Fox News show Tuesday night for the full hour.

Beck announced the appearance on Twitter on Monday:

"Tomorrow at five: congressman Massa for the full hour," Beck wrote. "I just spoke with him off air. All Americans need To hear him. Exclusive 2morrow fox."

Since announcing last week that he would step down from his Congressional seat amid sexual harassment allegations, Massa has been vocally lashing out at his critics and the White House.

In a radio interview over the weekend he explained the sexual harassment allegations leveled against him and blasted White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, who Massa said, has been trying to force him out of office because of his previous "no" vote on the Democrat-backed health care reform bill.

UPDATE: Conservatives are already turning on Massa in advance of the Beck interview. Michelle Malkin trashed Beck on his own radio show Tuesday for asking Massa on, while Rush Limbaugh dismissed Massa as a no-name "kook" on his broadcast Tuesday, warning, "Anybody who embraces this guy is going to get caught."

For his part, Beck defended the authenticity of Massa's allegations by comparing him to a defecting Cold War-era Soviet spy and, later, a terrorist. "I've never seen anything like this before. I have the guy on -- I'm not vouching for his honor or his credibility in any way, shape or form," Beck said on his radio show. "I don't know the guy. Maybe he's in a bathroom stall at an airport. I don't know."

Anybody watch tonight's show??

I'd like to know who sits down and thinks up the things that Beck raves on and on about. This 7+ minute segment of the show is unbelievable. Made no sense whatsoever.

So if he gets paid in gold and gold goes up as a good investment that supposed to be bad. He isn't pushing Enron stock before it blows.

Hey Beck, quick piece of advice here: Dont invite a guy on to answer questions when you don't have a clue what he's gonna say.

It doesn't take a hater to see that Beck was deflated and ultimately just impotent at trying to create sparks. His agenda to chase and create headlines that play well with his propaganda message fell way flat. In fact Massa co-opted Beck's attempt to whip things into a froth but advising that people drop the name calling, which is the only diet that Beck can apparently live on.

So much for Beck's attempt to play at being professorial and highfalutin with his non-stop Hectoring. He sadly got bested by the flakey Massa.

The most egregious misstatement Beck said today was that this was the very first time he had wasted viewers time. No Glen you're on every day.

Having seen this interview in its entirety...without hate oozing outa my skull for GB beforehand...then coming back here and reading some of the comments about it from GB haters on the left....It really just says it all.

How much SOME of you dont listen before you hate. How much some of you dont watch, before you hate. How nothing matters...nothing will make some you shift positions...because you just want to hate...sooooo bad. You cant help yourself.

Tourettes hate.

Look, Nuff. You don't have to come here and try to dress yourself up to look like an impartial individual. We all know who you are and where you stand. And impartiality is not who you are.

So, take off those sheep's clothing. It does not disguise who you really are.

I feel bad for Glenn Beck, he had to talk to somebody that doesn't think like him and now he's propaganda has suffered a 1 day setback.

you puts people on who disagree with him quite often.

you'd know that if you actually watched his show instead of coming on here to hate.

Beck embraces anybody who is as crazy as he is. Anything for ratings.

[NuffAlready]

How is he embracing him by interviewing him?

Did you even watch it?

Don't know which was more bizarre, Massa saying absolutely nothing or Beck trying desperately to get him to say SOMETHING. As it turns out, neither had anything to say. Yawn. What a waste of time.
