Fox News – HOPING for a terrorist attack? How patriotic.
Ok, I PROMISE that this will be my last politically-associated post for a while. I didn’t intend to write this, but I came across a video clip and just had to touch upon it.
Now, I can’t actually insert the clip on this blog, as I haven’t sprung for WordPress’s video upgrade. But let me give you the gist of it. Two men are talking on the Glenn Beck show on Fox “News”. One of them is, as you might assume, Glenn Beck. Mr. Beck is one of the newer Fox News commentators to get his own show, but he’s much like the others. He’s a hypocritical conservative windbag of the worst order, the kind that flaunts his supposed patriotism while actually displaying none. He’s a loudmouth jerk, who gets red as a fire truck when angry and has actually broken down like a little girl on numerous broadcasts. He’s a chest-beating, Bible thumping, global warming-denying, jingoistic halfwit. So that’s Glenn Beck.
The man he’s speaking with is Michael Scheuer. You most probably have not heard of this guy. In fact, nobody did until a few years ago, as he was an undercover CIA analyst for many years and part of the operation to capture Osama bin Laden. He is now an analyst for CBS News. He’s also batsh*t insane. I mean, he was a guest on Glenn Beck’s show. Did you expect otherwise?
READ what this nut has to say and what he hopes happens to the United States. SEE Glenn Beck, the supposed patriot, say next to nothing in his response. SHUDDER at the stupidity. WONDER why these two aren’t arrested for violating Dubya’s beloved Patriot Act that Republicans love so much. TRY to suppress the vomit. Now, you can’t really tell what this exchange is in reference to, but read it and see if you can figure it out. Good luck…
Scheuer: The only chance we have as a country right now is for Osama bin Laden to deploy and detonate a major weapon in the United States. Because it’s going to take a grass-roots, bottom-up pressure. Because these politicians prize their office, prize the praise of the media and the Europeans. It’s an absurd situation again. Only Osama can execute an attack which will force Americans to demand that their government protect them effectively, consistently, and with as much violence as necessary.
Beck: Which is why, I was thinking this weekend, if I were him, that would be the last thing I would do right now.
And what was this “absurd situation” that Michael Scheuer hates so much that he’s eagerly anticipating a nuclear strike? Illegal immigration.
Yep, you heard right.To whip this country back into shape, vis a vis illegal immigrants, Michael Scheuer (unhinged psychopath) wants bin Laden to set off a nuke and vaporize a few hundred thousand innocent people. That sounds totally reasonable. Uh huh. And Glenn Beck, who has stood on his set in front of a video screen full of American flags and sobbed like a little baby about how much he loves his country, doesn’t bat an eye.
To show that this wasn’t an isolated incident of this lunatic giving an interview while hypoglycemic or perhaps in the early stages of Tourette’s, here’s an excerpt from a quaint little article that Mr. Scheuer wrote in The Washington Post (a.k.a. conservative rag) —
The Republicans do not have the votes to stop Obama, and the world will not be safer for America because the president abandons interrogations to please his party’s left wing and the European pacifists it so admires. Both are incorrigibly anti-American, oppose the use of force in America’s defense and — like Obama — naively believe that the West’s Islamist foes can be sweet-talked into a future alive with the sound of kumbaya.
Some people really fall for this crap. Some people seriously think this way. A man can get a video interview on a national cable news channel and say that he’s eagerly anticipating a major terrorist attack, as it is our country’s “only chance” to pull itself together. Meanwhile, the host, who has sent himself into apoplexies of sorrow while live on the air regarding the subject of SEPTEMBER 11TH, does nothing! No outrage. No insistence that Mr. Scheuer take back what he said and apologize. He just sits there and basically says “yeah, pretty much”. What a joke. What a pity. As far as I’m concerned, this Scheuer character should be locked up for treason and Beck should be locked up for aiding treasonous activities. Of course, I know that won’t happen, but you can bet that Sean Hannity and Bill O’Reilly would be whipping themselves into a frenzy right now if this had happened anywhere besides a Fox News show. Sigh.
