Glenn Beck: Electing Hillary Clinton ‘Is a Moral, Ethical Choice’
« on: October 11, 2016, 07:37:16 pm »
by Rebecca Mansour10 Oct 2016

The Blaze founder Glenn Beck took to his Facebook page last Saturday to urge his followers to abandon support of Republican nominee Donald Trump, declaring that if such an action results in the election of Hillary Clinton, “so be it” because “[a]t least it is a moral, ethical choice.”

Beck’s latest missive was in response to the release of an 11-year-old hot-mic tape of Trump saying lewd things about women.

“If the consequence of standing against Trump and for principles is indeed the election of Hillary Clinton, so be it. At least it is a moral, ethical choice,” Beck wrote.

Yup.  Gone off the deep end he has.   


The words "moral"  and "Clinton"  do not belong in the same sentence.

He didn't say voting for Hillary was the 'moral or ethical' thing to do.

He said it was your moral and ethical choice to abandon Trump and vote your values (my paraphrasing).

He wasn't saying Hillary was moral or ethical, he said your choice was moral and ethical.

He's right, if only by reason of the explicit rejection of an alternative that is amoral and taints conservatism with its stink.

Breitbart's title is misleading.  But then again, now that Breitbart is all in for Trump, a misleading story is not surprising.

Glenn Beck is not voting for Hillary.
Quote
Here's some interesting reading for those interested in events that have actually occurred.

http://www.mediaite.com/…/no-glenn-beck-did-not-endorse-or…/

No, Glenn Beck Did Not Endorse or Say He Supports Hillary Clinton

http://www.businessinsider.com/is-glenn-beck-voting-for-hil…

"The internet was set ablaze Monday with speculation that conservative media mogul Glenn Beck had decided to vote for Hillary Clinton.
But was there any truth to the hearsay? Not really.
The rumor mill started churning when Breitbart...which has a vendetta against Beck, photoshopped a photo of the conservative radio host with Clinton’s campaign phrase “I’m With Her” emblazoned on it...
But Beck made it clear to Vice News that, while he had pondered the idea, he could not pull the lever for Clinton in November. Instead, Beck said he would vote for Constitutional Party candidate Darrell Castle."

http://therightscoop.com/glenn-beck-ive-considered-voting-…/

"Beck says, of course, he’s not going to vote for Hillary Clinton at all. No surprise there.

Instead, he says he’s going to vote for Darrell Castle with the Constitutional Party."

http://hotair.com/…/glenn-beck-ive-considered-voting-hilla…/

Voting for Hillary Clinton..."He’s not going to do it, he says"

http://thehill.com/…/300352-glenn-beck-i-considered-voting-…

“I can’t do it, because she’s just a horse of a different color,” he added, saying that he had never considered voting for Trump, the Republican presidential nominee.
Beck said that he would vote for Darrell Castle, the Constitution Party presidential nominee.

http://www.theblaze.com/…/glenn-beck-ive-considered-voting…/

So who is Beck voting for in November? Darrell Castle, an attorney from Memphis, Tennessee, and the Constitution Party’s presidential nominee.

“If the consequence of standing against Trump and for principles is indeed the election of Hillary Clinton, so be it. At least it is a moral, ethical choice,” Beck wrote.

We can interpret what he meant, but the juxtaposition of the words Clinton/moral/ethical was done with specific deliberation.

Beck knew or should have known how this was going to 'look' to many people.

He is being evasive and deliberately ambiguous IMO.

Trumpbart (formerly Breitbart) has become as insufferably dishonest as HuffPo and Politico in the Propaganda department.

Who cares how it "looks" to other people.  The Donald certainly never cares how he "looks" to other people.  The bottom line is he is voting his conscience, which is for neither the Beast or the Donald.

I like Beck and used to listen to his show everyday on the way home from work. That is until he changed into another 'crying preacher'. It turned me off not because of his message, but I couldn't take the over the top gushing emotional sermons that carried it.

I wonder if he becoming a little unstable. Not an insult. Just my own personal opinion. Nothing more.

I find it detestable when partisans on either side try to score points by misquoting.  We have plenty of legitimate issues to debate without playing dirty.

Beck said that standing against Trump is a moral, ethical choice.  He did NOT say that voting for Clinton is one.  He opposes both candidates, and I have to agree with him.  He plans to vote 3rd party.  I'm too much of a realist to do that.

Breitbart should be ashamed.

The thing to note of the "moralists" is their utter egocentrism. They care not for the fate of the country or the world but only for their self-image.

Considering he hated pop culture, populism, and Trump, I think he would have left along with Shapiro and company.

Sorry, guys but I reread the quote several times ...abandon support of Republican nominee Donald Trump, declaring that if such an action results in the election of Hillary Clinton, “so be it” because “[a]t least it is a moral, ethical choice.”..it seems to me that he is indeed saying if you abandon Trump and it results in the election of Clinton at least it is a moral choice ... meaning Clinton is more moral than Trump. To me, neither one of them are fit to be our president!

You're going to have to live with Hillary, with the aid of an adoring Media getting her way on everything,  with a Rubber Stamp Republican Congress obliging.  As opposed to Trump who will be fought tooth-and-nail on everything, giving us Gridlock.  I'll take gridlock over Hillary.

I think we all need to remember two very important things:

#1  This election is about the Supreme Court justices and the 2nd amendment.

#2  Unless a 3rd party candidate has qualified to be on the ballot as a write-in candidate in your state, and you write-in the candidate of choice, your vote will not count.

So far the only candidate that has qualified to actually be on the ballot in all 50 states is Gary Johnson.
