(Newser) – A choked-up Glenn Beck described a rough night for his family in New York City's Bryant Park when they tried to watch a movie this week. "These people were some of the most hateful people I have ever seen,” said Beck on his radio show today, reports Mediaite.

You could just lynch me.’ And I think there would have been a couple in the crowd that would have," said Beck. He also took issue with Gawker (without naming it) for publishing photos of his family there. Click to read the not-so-sympathetic reaction from the site, which isn't buying the wine-kicking claim.
