Post Glenn Beck Agrees US Needs Another Al Qaeda Attack To Protect Us From Immigrants?

Quote:
Glenn Beck nods and agrees with his guest Michael Scheuer that the only way to "save" the US (from illegal immigrants, of course) is for Osama bin Laden to succeed in detonating a weapon on American soil. Scheuer and Beck hit all the conservative buttons, from Mexicans to the mainstream media and the worst of all, Europeans. From the June 30th, 2009 Glenn Beck on Fox News.

"The only chance we have as a country right now is for OBL to deploy and detonate a major weapon in the United States."


My mind just boggles at how some don't recognize the insanity they embrace...

The left is every bit as bad, if not worse. From protestors dropping thier pants, crapping on an American flag and then burning it - all done in front of children - to Murtha's accusing our troops of being murderers. The right has no monopoly on idiots.

I read this yesterday on it...sounds about right...

The first 4 words are tongue-in-cheek, so you gotta read the whole thing...It's NOT endorsing it...

Quote:
An instant GB classic, from Beck’s apocalyptic fretting about massive civil unrest which he prays will be peaceful to Scheuer’s warning that concerns about cross-border gun dealing are a pretext to repealing the Second Amendment to the grand finale crowning Osama Bin Laden as America’s unwitting savior. What’s striking about this clip is how closely it tracks some of the key tropes of nutroots paranoia during the Bush years. Now as then, it’s assumed that the greatest threat to the country is its own government. Now as then, the “solution” to getting the nation back on the right track involves some ghoulish catastrophic failure of national security (losing the Iraq war in Bush’s case, failing to prevent a new attack in this one). And now as then, because the president acted in a legally controversial way in one circumstance — Bush on “torture,” Obama on corporate takeovers — he’s instantly suspected of ruthless designs on the Constitution itself, irrespective of whether he actually has the support he’d need to change it. (If you think Blue Dog Democrats are going to vote for a massive gun grab, you’re kidding yourself.) The only major difference between then and now is that the nutroots indictment was limited to Republicans whereas Beck and Scheuer keep it bipartisan. Thank heaven for small favors, I guess.

Well. I guess that's about as close as we're going to get as an admission from you that what was done was bad.

And how many of those guys had their own TV show?

I am a liberal, and I find those types of nuts repulsive. You won't find any support for them on this board.
But none of them had their own TV show to SPREAD their brand of crazy...

No.
But it does give them TV shows and multi-million dollar book deals, so that right-wing members can gobble it up...

So because our loons are better at making money at being loons than your loons, that makes them worse?? Look at people like Moore and Franken. The left has gobbled up thier crap (and even elected Franken to Congress) for years. How about Dan Rather?? TV show and multi-million dollar contracts for his crap. How about The View?? 4 far left bigots and one center-right voice. I'm sure that you won't consider them in the same category. Take a stroll through the "politics" section at your local bookstore and see just how many hate-filled screeds by left you can find. I'll freely admit that there are loons on the right, but somehow I doubt that I can expect the same from you or if you do, it will be qualified and watered down.

You call it "better at making money".
I point out that your loons have a TV following and EARN MONEY FOR saying their loon things, and you just want to spin it as "making money".

A prostitute can be good at "earning money" too.
A drug runner can be good at "earning money" too.

I'm still waiting on somebody to actually quote what Franken said that is so bad.
He pointed out liars in the RNC? OMG! How looney of him!

As for Moore, on that there is a point.
So I guess we've got Moore, as compared to Coulter, O'Reilly, Beck, .....

How the heck is Dan Rather in this league of wishing for an Osama bomb detonation?
You're going off the deep end here...

Wow.
You're filled with rational thought today.
What have they said that makes them "bigots"?

Along with other rational people.
Okay. Beck talked about having an Osama bomb detonation saving America.
What have ANY of those others (the view / rather) said that fits in with that????

Put your proof up here for the world to see.

I happily admit the left has its loons.
It's just we don't typically PAY THEM to be loons...

how is ANYTHING as bad as praying for a bomb to go off on American soil (or for Obama to fail as President, for that matter?)

They didn't say they were praying for it...They said that it would be the only thing that would get politicians on BOTH SIDES to understand the damage they're doing by not protecting our sovereign borders...

An analogy would be the drunk guy who doesn't get it through his head that he's an alcholic until he hits someone with his car...

It sometimes takes tragedy to get it through peoples' heads that there's a problem...

As I've shown earlier, I DON'T agree with the logic, but I UNDERSTAND it...
