Glenn Beck Rips Conservatives In The Huffington Post

In a wide-ranging interview with The Huffington Post's Howard Fineman, Glenn Beck took the opportunity to again blast conservatives critical of his decision to greet the recent wave of underage illegal immigrants with toys and hot meals. "I don't understand those who cannot see the plight of children," Beck told HuffPo. The border issue is one example. Beck took heat from fellow conservatives for his decision to distribute large amounts of relief supplies through churches and other organizations in McAllen, Texas, to undocumented children caught at the southern border. Sen. Cruz was at his side. Beck's view is that the law says they should not have been admitted and ultimately should not stay. But in the meantime he explains his response in personal terms. "I don't understand those who cannot see the plight of children," he said. "People come here because we have the rule of law, but no one wants their kids to grow up in a society that doesn't understand justice and mercy." The controversy began early last month, when Beck announced that he would provide soccer balls and meals as a way to "help care for some of the roughly 60,000 underage refugees who have crossed into America illegally in 2014." Outside of Beck's distasteful grandstanding and playing the victim with the claim that this would be "deadly to my career" (Beck reportedly makes tens of millions of dollars a year), he tore into conservatives who disagreed with him as looking "like they just want judgment" as opposed to mercy.

What's next? A slot on MSLSD perhaps?

[Tennessee Nana]

of course

whoever thought he was one of us ???

I gotta bridge....

[Jim Robinson]

Beck has totally lost it (if he ever had it).

[G Larry]

Hey Glenn!

Why do you suppose they wouldn’t allow Congressmen or Reporters into the Immigrant holding facilities?!?!?

It was because the story about UNACCOMPANIED CHILDREN WAS A LIE!!!!

[ransacked]

Please don’t ask me to take care of the world’s children.
It’s not our responsibility, it’s their parents. We cannot even support our own children in America.

[USNBandit]

We don't greet those kids with open arms because it is a scam. Most of the ones showing up unaccompanied are coming to join their parents. Not because the parents miss them, or their home countries are becoming too violent. They are bringing their kids her based on the premise that the children will get deferred status and by default the parents won't be deported. That is it.

Anybody that can't see that is completely uninformed or completely naive.

[Drango]

He’s gay.

[tumblindice]

“I don’t understand those who cannot see the plight of children,” he (Beck) said.

So, it’s for the children. He’s jumped the shark.
I’m tired of paying to raise other peoples’ kids.

[manc]

Beck was never a conservative, instead he’s a liberaltarian.

[samtheman]

Even back in the days when I liked his show, I worried about him being a mormon. So now it comes out. Mental instability.

[peyton randolph]

Glenn Beck is another David Brock.

[BurningOak]

I feel for these children, but we cannot give amnesty to every child in South and Central America.

[seowulf]

"People come here because we have the rule of law, but no one wants their kids to grow up in a society that doesn't understand justice and mercy."

Isn't that the point? We are not into showing all this so called "justice and mercy" because we don't want them here.

Why offer bait to illegals to cross the border?

[Viennacon]

Beck was an early denouncer of Obama’s “for the children” crap on gun control.

[Wuli]

My main objection with Beck is not his sense of charity but his willingness to pretend the children have not been organized (used) to come in the numbers they currently are to help increase the political wedge for open borders and amnesty, which he agrees he is not in favor of. He does NOT ask “where in the H&^%$ are the kids parents and how can their families do this to them”? His pretense also ignores that Latin American politicians are knowingly giving a wink and a nod to the human trafficking that is dumping their labor refuse here, as an escape valve from NOT solving THEIR nations’ domestic economic and social issues. Again the children are being used, and though Beck wants to be charitable - all well and good, it seems that’s all he wants to be instead of totally honest that the kids are just tools in a larger immigration agenda AGAINST the United States.

[workerbee]

It's like Joe Scarborough -- back in the day, one of the House managers of the Clinton impeachment, someone I can vividly remember on the talk shows standing up and grasping his hair as if to pull it out, so impassioned was he about the morass of the Democrats. Today... well, read the posts and weep.

[chris37]

People come here because we have the rule of law, and they come here breaking that rule of law?

BS.

I’m not going to help the people trying to rip my country from me by helping the people they are using to rip my country from me.

Sorry.

[Bullish]

What a glory-whore Beck is and has always been.

[mrmeyer]

GFY GB.

[Figment]

Beck is right up there, or maybe ahead of Ted Baxter in the stupidity ratings
