'Dough Boy' Glenn Beck accosted at Wendy's

[WhoAmI]

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.

Did you know Glenn Beck converted to Mormonism a few years ago?

[msdeb]

i cannot stand Glen Beck

[WhoAmI]

I love the way he attempts to dehumanize the truck driver by saying he has food in his hair.

And, yes, this is what we've become. This is what you've made us.

Glenn Beck is a poor man's Bill O'Reilly.

[NicoleWasHere]

Somebody needs to kick him in the nuts. I can't believe I ever watched this guys show, even only once.

[Belinda]

Guess he knows what a douchebag he is if he has security.

[cheetopia]

If this is 'who we've become' I lay some of the blame squarely at Glenn Beck's feet. He's added to the divisiveness, polarity and hatred in our nation. It was just desserts for the hate speech he's been propagating for months now.

[Sweetie]

So.....fight hate, with hate?
Sounds like they are both idiots.

[Grimmlok]

something tells me doughboy wasn't up for a hug from another man

[greysfang]

Yes, I don't see why there's such shock that the hatred against conservatives runs deep. Have you been living under a rock the last 8 years? Do you not understand what's been happen to Joe Blow lately? Fuck you Beck.

Bullshit. No one recognizes Glenn on the street.

[ymeman]

Bullshit. No one recognizes Glenn on the street.

That was my call on this, too. It had to be a former goose-stepping fan, if anything. My other thought is that Wendy's is paying him to say "Frosty" about 57 times. Product placement, controversy, what more could you ask for. Cause', it freaking cold, at least down here, and no one is buying milkshakes. I was just outside for about 15 minutes and my fingers still don't have their full range of motion back.

I hate him. Being a Morman I know his thoughts on gays. The guy who accosted him, (or tried to) probably has a gay relative or is gay himself. Sometime Beck is resonable but mostly he makes me scream.
