CNN's Glenn Beck: "A Handful Of People Who Hate America...Are Losing Their Homes In A Forest Fire Today"

Media Matters:

On the October 22 edition of his nationally syndicated radio program, host Glenn Beck stated, "I think there is a handful of people who hate America. Unfortunately for them, a lot of them are losing their homes in a forest fire today." Beck continued: "There are a few people that hate America. But I don't think the Democrats are those. I think there are those posing as Democrats that are like that." Beck's comment came as forest fires ravaged parts of Southern California, leaving one person dead, four firefighters wounded, and forcing about 1,500 people from their homes, according to The New York Times.

While we're at it, how 'bout that Duncan Hunter interviewe­d on CNN this morning--w­hat a SOCIALIST he turns out to be--asking for federal, tax-suppor­ted help for his district! The nerve!

I didnt realize that so many republican­s had property in America.

When truth be told,Repub­licans are the ones who truly hate us for our freedoms

For the record he is a Republican­. I want to get that out of the way.

It seems to me that a lot of people are saying outrageous things for the sake of ratings, but I think this went to far. People are losing their homes and memories-p­ictures, carvings,p­aintings, maybe ash of a loved one- and this balbling fool had the gumption to say what he said.

I hope he already lost his job. I am guessing I am among his target a group but I never watch his show.

He seriously needs to be fired or at least suspended for a long time. The raging fire is no joke from what I have seen and read.

Zhonni, REPUBLICAN­S regularly say outrageous things for the purpose of creating talking points for Democrats and others to complain about/reac­t to. We Dems and others do not often respond with useful words or techniques­. This is a form of P.R., and many such forms have been perfected by Reps over MANY years.

What a pig, people are losing their homes, their belongings and some could lose their lives and all this pimp has to say is, because they didn't support dipshit's little Iraq adventure they deserve it.
Well, becuause you Mr. Beck don't support helping children who need healthcare­, and just love seeing those coffins comeing home from Iraq, you deserve to lose your entire life, home, and anything else you treasure. Your a scumbag and I cannot believe the network allows you to spew your hatred and get paid for it. Your a worthless piece of shit.

Dearest Jesus,

Please, please, please allow Glen Beck to contract the most painful form of Cancer and die ever so slowly from it.

In thy name I pray,
--Amen!!

Glen Beck is the poster child for what happens when the oxygen supply is cut off at birth.

Beck isn't even a human being, he should have
been thrown away in a Kleenix a long time ago.
