Glenn Beck APOLOGIZES for "turning us on to" '24'

Glenn Beck has apologized this morning to all of us that started watching '24' this season based on his recommendation.

He is also saying that he was about to give up on '24' last night because the witers interjected PATRIOTIC Arabs that own a gun store, and are proud to be American and stand with their American brothers to go up against whoever committed the terrorist acts.

WHAT A LINE OF PC CRAP!

I, for one, have not heard a single Arab-American stand up publicly and say that they denounce Islamic terrorism and are willing to stand up with their American brothers to fight this scourge on civilized society.

We've gone from a great reality based action drama that rips headlines from the papers, showing MOST terrorists as they actually are...

To a PC line of BS influenced by the usual suspects, liberal producer, directors, and studio execs, AND a TINY, loud-mouthe minority of bleaters and whiners.

A disgusting FRAUD-of-a-show.

AND, it LOOKS as if the show is turing AWAY from REALISTIC MUSLIM terrorists, to point to EVIL WHITE guys in the defense industry, and maybe even in the military itself.

What a JOKE.

I MAY watch another show or two, but I think I'm DONE after only ONE season of viewing this PC garbage.

[trisham]

Missed another show last night, and have no idea what's going on with the plot. Oy. I can't get used to the new schedule.

My next door neighbor is a patriotic (thats pro American patriotism) Arab.

The evil white guy in last night's show, near the end, didn't appear to be a real military guy, even though he had the AF haircut down. He just had the uniform. Yeah, it was odd to see the muslim gunstore owners. I wonder if there are any in the US?

[SittinYonder]

I watched some of the first season, but I thought it was stupid so I quit watching. I hate being a quitter, but I was sure there was something I could do more productive with that hour.

[DocH]

Sure he's not a 'sleeper'?

[SittinYonder]

My next door neighbor is a patriotic (thats pro American patriotism) Arab

Geez! I'd keep a careful eye on that next door neighbor if I were you! You're being lulled into a false sense of security. :-)

[tfecw]

yeap, but maybe we should kill him just in case

[theFIRMbss]

>My next door neighbor is a patriotic (thats pro American patriotism) Arab

[SevenMinusOne]

While 24 definitely goes the PC route from time to time (I agree) - It is simply silly and wrong for you to suggest there are NO pro-American Arabs living in America.

Go to Dearborn, MI you will see thousands and thousands there alone -

Has the Arab community been as vocal as we might like - probably not - (but at the same time the MSM does not want to show that image of Arabs supporting our efforts....so that alone helps stop many pro-American Arab voices from being heard.)

[tsali]

I thought I might be alone in sensing a change of direction in the show from reality to creative fiction---- It is good to know that I am not alone

"I, for one, have not heard a single Arab-American stand up publicly and say that they denounce Islamic terrorism and are willing to stand up with their American brothers to fight this scourge on civilized society."

Then you haven't been paying attention.

I am sure there are plenty of patriotic Arab Americans. For one, there are thousands of Iraqi Americans who adore this country and GWB. There are also alot of Iranian Americans who feel the same way (Yeah, I know, they are Persians, not Arabs, but ya know what I mean).

[tfecw]

naw they exist. I'd say it's akin to a gay republican. Rare, but they exist

[DocH]

I think you may be right about the guy impersonating an Air Force officer/pilot, but he's STILL a WHITE guy in the '24' writers PC fantasy world.

[Lunatic Fringe]

Get a grip... it's a TV SHOW! And a very good one at that.

[Andy from Beaverton]

You and Beck sure got up on the wrong side of the bed last night. I know patriotic Arabs and I thought it was a good episode last night.

[OldEagle]

"Yeah, it was odd to see the muslim gunstore owners."

Do we know that they were Muslims or is that an assumption?

[deepFR]

Note - show has taken a turn where white evil defence contractors are the real bad guys now. Notice that muslims wanting to help Jack and Paul were not shooting at other muslims, they were shooting at mercenaries of defence contractors. Fox caved big-time on this PC crap, and went for the re-make of Manchurian Candidate direction of evil white big business is the problem, not islamic terrorists.
