This is just the response you expect from the liberal side of the fence and those my cousin calls twits.
NFL Star Blasted for Reading Glenn Beck
NFL star wide receiver Chad Ochocinco didn’t expect the angry response he got when he told his Twitter followers he was reading a book by conservative talker Glenn Beck.
The player announced that he had bought Beck’s new book “Broke: The Plan to Restore Our Trust, Truth and Treasure” to read on a plane ride.
“Does anyone know if Glenn Beck has a twitter account?” he wrote. “Starting on his new book BROKE. His views on political n economical issues are EPIC.”
The backlash “came fast and furious” from some of his 2.3 million Twitter followers, according to Luke Broadwater of the Baltimore Sun.
“Just lost a lot of respect for you for being a [expletive] beck fan. Idiot,” wrote one follower.
Another said: “Unfollowing after two years because you’re a Beck fan. Disgraceful and disappointing.”
Ochocinco responded to some, saying he’s “not a conservative,” then reached out to Beck himself: “Kind sir I’ve seemed 2 have p***ed off a lot of my fans by purchasing your book.”
He later wrote: “Gotten through 3 chapters and so far everything he’s said is either common or his opinion based off research.”
And he wrote: “Its interesting reading the views n opinions from what I’d like to call the other side.”
Broadwater observed: “Whether you like Ochocinco or not, you have to admit he came out of his mini-Twitter controversy looking pretty good. He appears open-minded, which is a good quality to have, unlike many of his apparently angry followers.”
