Glenn Beck hates 9/11 survivors. Shocking as it may sound, Glenn Beck claimed that he hates 9/11 survivors. The Fox news personality and media clown has always been an outrageous demagogue, a pied piper to the illiterate, unwashed masses that make up the Fox news audience.
Beck's remarks were made on the September 9 broadcast of The Glenn Beck Program:
you know it took me about a year to start hating the 9-11 victims' families? Took me about a year.
And when I see a 9-11 victim family on television, or whatever, I'm just like, "Oh shut up!" I'm so sick of them because they're always complaining.
From anybody else the remark would be unbelievable, for Beck, it is just another day at the office. To add insult to injury, Beck made the comments about his hatred for 9/11 survivors in trying to describe how much he hates the victims of Hurricane Katrina that were abandoned by the Bush administration in New Orleans.
About the survivors in New Orleans Beck said: But the second thought I had when I saw these people and they had to shut down the Astrodome and lock it down, I thought: I didn't think I could hate victims faster than the 9-11 victims.
And that's all we're hearing about, are the people in New Orleans. Those are the only ones we're seeing on television are the scumbags...
Beck is a moral monster. He uses his position of influence to spread hate and misinformation. But good people are fighting back. Color of Change is leading a boycott, and over 60 national sponsors have pulled out of the program. Beck's blatant racism, his open contempt and disrespect for the President, is despicable.
The Fox news network, and everyone associated with the Glenn Beck program, share a deep and lasting shame. Beck is the new Joe McCarthy. Like McCarthy, Beck's demagogic, reckless, and unsubstantiated accusations, as well as his public attacks on the character or patriotism of political opponents, will end in tragedy for Beck, and the network.
BTW, the “victim entitlement mentality” of some of these groups is amazing. I have a great deal of respect for the heroes on Flight 93, but their families’ demand for the memorial have been excessive. The Flight 93 memorial sits on a piece of land nearly twice the size of Mount Rushmore National Memorial. And, as the Flight 93 memorial was being developed, the families were whining that the government wouldn't fund it all, and that not all the land was going to be made available for the memorial. I feel for their losses, but there truly have been some demands that push or exceed the bounds of reason.
Bump
Didn’t the families that received money from the government complain that it wasn’t enough????
Wow this piece is like something from an alternate dimension or something. 180 degrees from reality.
Boris Becker, the tennis player.
Ohhhhhh...wasn’t that a character on a TV comedy series with that FOB that played on Cheers?
And the quotes are way out of context.
BTW, Rachel Madow just opened her show on MSNBC with this audio. I switched to Monk on USA, so I didn't hear the commentary about it. I wonder if she will disclose that it's over 4 years old.
Which, by sheer coincidence, by the substitution of a few words, is exactly the way I feel about Michael Stone's anarchist and gay parade of supporters --- if I were inclined to namecalling rather than to refuting accusation with, say, verifiable facts.
Remember when SF was called Baghdad by the Bay? Instead of Sodom wherever... ?
I thought so.
Fake pretense at a 35 IQ.
Beck criticized the less than a dozen families with the entitlement mentality mining a personal tragedy for all it was worth, and Stone pretending that the criticism applied to all 3000+ victims.
I would accuse him of playing dumb, but he ain't playing.
I guess in that alternate reality, anything goes...
This story will be shocking to all 28 people who subscribe to the examiner.
Is this the Onion?
Sadly, no.
Good Lord. Michael needs to put the bong down and slowly back away.
This guy is a jerk, but someone else is on the comments to the article spreading the rape story around.. other people may want to weigh in on the comments.
They make it sound like he said it on 9/9/09.
Wow, The Portland-Progressive-Examiner bashes Beck. What a surprise /s
What do they have, about 12 subscribers? I think the libtards are in a real panic. Ha-Ha, Go get em Beck!
One other thing, in addition to commenting, click the "report article" button below the article, above the comments. Let the people operating the site know the quotes are 4 years old and taken way out of context.
