listening to Glenn right now. He proves you don't have to be "enlightened" to know that what is really going on over there.

I caught one of Glenn Beck's shows while he was in Israel.

He did a lengthy segment on what it was like accompanying his Israeli hosts as they went to buy new gas masks for the family...

Beck said it was bad enough when going to the mall to buy new gas masks for each member of the family (the filters on the masks have expiration dates) was something that had become commonplace in Israel, and all that implied.

But what really shocked him was seeing baby bassinets which had been modified to be in effect gas masks for infants (the whole enclosure was sealed and had a filtered air supply).

He expressed his outrage that any country would have to live like that, under the constant threat of being gassed by its genocidal neighbors.

Beck pointed out that the Palestinians don't have any need to buy gas masks for *their* family members or children.

The article goes on and on about how simple, dumb, unenlightened and uneducated Glenn Beck is. Yes, he's simple enough to have retained his decency. And as a simple decent man he has no trouble distinguishing between thugs and soldiers, or suave lies and direct honest talk.
God protect us from the sophisticated.
