Border Crisis: What Glenn Beck Did Wrong
by John Nolte 10 Jul 2014, 8:15 AM PDT
Wednesday morning The Blaze's Glenn Beck announced it was "deadly to my career" for him to provide truckloads of meals and soccer balls as a way to "help care for some of the roughly 60,000 underage refugees who have crossed into America illegally in 2014."
Early Thursday morning on "Morning Joe," the left-wing Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski did exactly what I feared the media would do after Beck's announcement: they trashed conservatives who disagreed with Beck as lacking in compassion. Scarborough even mocked them as un-Christian. And they are not alone.
The problem isn't what Beck did. The problem is how he did it.
Beck's desire to help kids caught in a geopolitical crossfire through no fault of their own is laudable. We all want to help. I've yet to hear anyone argue that it's wrong to use American taxpayer dollars to feed, house, and offer medical care to these children. No one opposes that.
Beck thinks more needs to be done.
Fine.
But for Beck (and the media currently using him to club conservatives) to pretend there isn't a compassionate argument to be made against what Beck's doing is simply wrong, unfair, and a bit sanctimonious.
It's just a fact that these children are already being cared for once they arrive here. I'm not even sure they need Beck's charity. Regardless, the unthinkable danger for them occurs during the journey across a continent to get here. It's not just the natural elements these children have to worry about, I'm hearing on the news that fully one-third of young girls are sexually assaulted during the trip.

Beck blew it—Compassion is used by the Progs as a weapon—its a trap—and the Beck fell into it.
Not only that but the progressives are trying to go after the faithful by saying they are suppose to help the poor, love thy neighbor.
Libs are such evil deceptive bastards suing children and the poor to try and score points.
But, but, but...
You Conservatives are crucifying poor Glenn for his helping Obama....tsk, tsk. Sarc..
Joe Scarborough: Glenn Beck’s Border Gesture ‘Christ-like,’ Out of ‘Jesus’ Handbook’
I’ve yet to hear anyone argue that it's wrong to use American taxpayer dollars to feed, house, and offer medical care to these children. No one opposes that. …Someone isn’t listening.
The compassionate thing to do is not encourage people south of the border to send their kids here and instead stay with their families.
Obama created this crisis to get what he wanted at their expense. And they are paying dearly for it - and so are we.
Mourning Schmoe is being blasphemous.
I don’t watch or listen to any of these programs except occasionally, but Glenn Beck always struck be as a poseur. He does what’s convenient for him when it’s convenient.
If he had compassion and half a brain he would have shipped the soccer balls down to Honduras and told the kids they would be waiting for them there.
The communists are promoting the theft of U.S citizens in order to gain a permanent slave class that will be forever dependent on the goods stolen from its lawful citizens, all for their own power.
As evil always does, it perverts the true and the good for its own power.
I’m all for minimal tax dollars being used to load um up and send um right back where they came from.
Anything more than that is encouraging more of them to show up.
Did they thank AG Holder for the AK-47s?
To be sure, “minimal” is not what Obama had in mind when he first invited this horde in and then started demanding $3.7 billion to impose a “solution” that will certainly be other than what he currently claims it will be.
