“…I can assure you that it was a complete accident. A happy one, to be sure…” says it all. This type of parsing and taking personal delight in a misfortune is acerbic and just as amoral as intentionally perpetrating the event.
And just as amoral as intentionally exaggerating it.
 
WOMAN SEATED NEAR BECK AT MOVIE CLAIMS INNOCENCE…BUT WHAT DOES TWITTER TELL US…(WITH UPDATES!)
Posted on June 29, 2011 at 11:32am by Scott Baker Print »Email »

On Tuesday, Glenn Beck told his radio and TV audiences how he and his family were harassed during an outing to an outdoor movie in New York City’s Bryant Park.

You can listen to Glenn describe what happened here.

The account involves people shouting nasty things and even a cup of wine being kicked onto Glenn’s wife.

“These people were some of the most hateful people I have ever seen,” Beck said. “All I wanted to do is go out on a blanket with my family and have dinner in the afternoon sun and sit around Americans, not like-minded Americans, and just watch a movie in the park. And last night that was what it was about‑‑ when the movie was just about over, my wife and I got out because it was hostile.”

Well, now a woman has come forward to say that she was seated right behind Glenn and that his account is “FALSE.”

True?

The woman, Lindsey Piscitell, wrote to New York Magazine:

To Whom It May Concern:
Just a quick FYI -saw your article on Mr. Beck and his numerous FALSE claims about the way that he was treated at Bryant Park last night. Myself and several of my friends were seated immediately behind Mr. Beck & co (have pictures) and I can tell you that while the crowd was certainly not thrilled that he had shown up, his family was left completely alone, and for the most part he was too. Conversely, it was his security detail (two body guards) that seemed to be unnecessarily prickly with the crowd, scolding myself and my friends for acrobatics and other harmless activities taking place well before the movie started, and contributing to a considerably less relaxed atmosphere than is typically experienced during BPMN (I’ve been going for about six years now).

It was my friend that spilled the glass of wine on Tanya -and I can assure you that it was a complete accident. A happy one, to be sure, but nonetheless a complete and utter accident. As soon as the wine spilled (and I question how Tanya became soaked from a half glass of wine) apologies were made and my friends pretty much scrambled to give Tanya & co napkins -no doubt aware that it would look terrible and that their actions could be perceived as purposeful. No words were exchanged after that, as I think that it became pretty clear to Beck & co that my friends and I were doing everything in our capacity to help clean the “mess”.
I‘m sure it’s unnecessary to point out the hypocrisy in Glen’s statements that we were being hateful. I can assure him that we don’t need his sympathy. Incidentally, none of us have made a career of “spewing hate” on the radio, or any other media platform. We live our lives intolerant only of those who don’t tolerate: We have chosen New York as our city for that very reason. We do things like go to Bryant Park Movie Night, and vote to legalize gay marriage. We don’t taunt Glen, or his family. And we certainly don’t waste our wine, even on Tanya.
Thanks, and please let me know if you have further questions.

So that changes everything. Glenn will be issuing an apology this aft….oh, wait.

We decided to learn a little more about Lindsey Piscitell.

Turns out she is something of a “Nomad” who likes to write short stories and poetry in between panic attacks:

Isn’t the Blaze Glenn Beck’s web site. What do you expect? He did kick it up a notch with the lynching reference. No?
 
I didn’t but then again, I really don’t care. It seems the word great doesn’t mean as much as it used to.
Referring to a great city? Perhaps not always, but when it comes to New York City, there’s no doubt that it is one of the great cities of the world, and I’ll not start an argument with Bostonian or Chicagoan posters about the greatest city in the U.S. My choice is obvious. 😃
 
Liberal thugs.
First off, there is no excuse for anyone to be harassed for their political views regardless whether you agree or not. Everyone should have the right to go about their business peacefully.

Secondly, have these “liberal” thugs been identified? Was a complaint filed with the NYPD? How do we know that this wasn’t staged by by some extremists that have no political leanings either way?
 
Oh, you over-educated, elite New Yorkers!!! BAH!!! :mad::mad::mad:😉
Yeah, that’s us, and I so miss breathing the elite air there that I’ll be there July 4th through 16th to get revived! Can’t wait! 🙂

Are we including pizza and hot dogs in “the greatest city” award? I might want to take issue at that point.

A challenge like that sounds like it comes from Chicago. 🙂 No comparison about pizza because Chicago is deep-dish and New York traditional style, which I consider better. As for hot dogs, there’s something extraordinary, even magical about a Vienna dog “dragged through the garden” Chicago style! I grew up on NY style Sabrett dogs with sauerkraut and onion sauce, so it’s a tossup for me. I love 'em both! 😃
