Glenn Beck: She “May” Need A “Boot In The Ass”
Glenn Beck responds to a woman who was discussing lack of broadband access for her family, by observing:
I mean, where did our grandparents go and they left us without…without a boot in the ass. Cause, there’s a few people that need some of those boots in their ass. And, you know what, quite honestly: she may be one of them.
This isn’t the first time Mr. Beck has demonstrated his contempt for women. He has a history of calling women bitches or spewing other sexist nonsense. When a company advertises with Glenn Beck, the above is an example of the kind of irresponsible vitriol that they are associating their brand with.
And, of note: Nutrisystem recently broke their commitment and returned as an advertiser to Mr. Beck. I wonder how they feel about associating their brand with Mr. Beck after today’s tantrum.

I despise Glenn Beck’s opinions, his rhetoric, his ill-education of the American people and his sexism but I don’t think Glenn Beck has ever called a woman a “bitch” and I agree with everything you’re doing at this site and I don’t think Beck deserves a spot on television.
I just like to be clear on the facts, though if there is proof of this, I’d gladly share it with everyone I know.

Beck has called Hillary Clinton a bitch. He is worse than reprehensible, he has helped to alienate some of my family members. He gins up hate, paranoia and divides the people of this nation for money.

You know,it’s kinda funny how Beck and the like criticize Gangsta Rappers for calling women”Bitches’n'Hos”,yet they do the same shit themselves and no one complains!!

Glenn Beck has found away to advance his political agenda – lie.
His lies are not only bad, but he couples them with inflammatory rhetoric, making them not only bad, but dangerous as well…
When looking at the die hard followers of Beck, this makes for a dangerous powder keg waiting to explode.

Today’s internet is pretty much CRIPPLED without some sort of high-speed connection.
56K had a tendency 10 YEARS AGO to “jump the tracks” when going from site to site, and that poses itself as a liability when doing online classes.
Imagine what kind of content 56K and lower chokes on TODAY!
Many of today’s online class environments are media-rich (Slides, audio, video) and just don’t work right on a slow connection.
This clown Beck is pretty ignorant.

OMG! The woman does need a boot in the ass. Since when is internet access, high speed or otherwise, a right that one deserves? Female or male, none of us 'need' internet access. If you tink you do, you need a boot in the ass too.

I honestly think the woman was being pretty whiny, however that doesn't excuse the mentality that Glenn Beck displayed that whenever a woman complains or whines that they need “a boot in the ass”
You could right this off as comic relief however how come every time Glenn Beck tries for comic relief it doesn't seem funny and just makes him seem like a prick. Maybe his lies and recklessness make it hard to laugh at his jokes.

How is this comment sexist? If a man said it he'd say the same thing. Nothing in what he said has anything to do with her gender.
