I'm gonna prove it to the world, i'm gonna prove it...

Saw this on Blind Prophecy, and had to repost it here. It DOES make one wonder, doesn't it?

I simply don’t believe that Glenn Beck raped and murdered a young girl in 1990*, and I’m shocked at the number of people who suspect he did. I recognize that no one can definitively prove that he did not rape and kill an underage woman in 1990, that is hardly proof that Glenn Beck did, in fact, sexually violate and viciously massacre an innocent female child.


Using my fancy law student (free) access to various legal databases, I’ve searched and found that if there were any court records from 1990 that proved Glenn Beck did or did not commit murder, manslaughter, or homicide in relation to a sexual assault involving a minor, they were likely sealed or possibly listed under an unknown legal alias. I’m sure that Beck’s legal team could clear up this whole nasty rumor by identifying and spreading the court documents (redacted to protect the identity of the dead underage rape victim, of course) which prove that Glenn Beck has never been convicted of this crime and any evidence suggesting that he is guilty does not rise to the requisite standard of proof beyond a reasonable doubt.

Nevertheless, I find it confounding that despite any clear and compelling proof that Glenn Beck had anything to do with raping and murdering a young girl in 1990 so many people are engaging in such wild conspiracy theory speculation. Just because you got an email suggesting that Fox News Host Glenn Beck raped and killed someone in 1990, or saw it referenced on a town hall poster, or some left-wing liberal media nutcase wants you to think Glenn Beck is responsible for the death and perverted violation of high school cheerleader to the tune of M.C. Hammer’s chart-topping “U Can’t Touch This”, that doesn’t mean you should believe it without solid and independently verified evidence. Perhaps factcheck.org could put out an alert letting people know there is no reason to believe that Glenn Beck raped and murdered anyone in 1990.

* On the off chance you didn’t get it, this is, of course, a parody of the sort of disinformation/innuendo/fear mongering that Beck uses to whip his base into a frenzy. I recognize that neither rape nor murder are joking matters (even if Beck disagrees), so I apologize if I have offended.
