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.

May this arrogant, ignorant prick suffer the same fate as those he mocks. My cousin's house just burned down in Malibu and as far back as I can remember he's always voted for Republicans. I don't think he'll be amused that some shit head from CNN thinks wildfires are party sensitive. Or that its good news that his property went up in flames. Maybe all the assholes in Atlanta who hate America will die of thirst next month. One can only hope.

Beck's Daddy should have rolled over and squirted him out on the floor. World would be a lot better off.

Somebody who is in a position to do so needs to make sure that the people whose houses have burned down find out that Beck said this. I would conjecture that quite a number of them are influential Republicans who have the influence to get this pig fired from CNN and perhaps even from his radio show.

Beck's mother tried to have him aborted when he was 12 years old.

You are quite correct based on where some of the fires are the residents tend to vote republican, shows how little Belch knows about California.

This idiotic comment is up there with Falwell and Robertson blaming September 11 on New York's "tolerance" of gay people and liberals.

This latest outrage was not broadcast on CNN but it reflects on this wreckage of a network that they would hire such a heartless and cruel dope.

I know that CNN is bereft of intelligence, but to hire someone who is so heartless that he can taunt people who have lost everything in a fire is beyond the pale.

Maybe there is some way to exercise the kind of pressure on CNN to fire this disgusting human being in the manner that got Imus kicked off MSNBC.

I am for freedom of speech, but if some sponsor wants to pay someone to say this kind of pitiless bile I am free not to purchase their products and I am free not to watch the channel that promotes it. I am also free to encourage others to do likewise.

If I'm not mistaken, someone that knows this jerk very well told me that he was a mindless jerk and would jump at the chance to fuck everyone he can.

And so we see the unfolding of Naomi Kleins Disater Capitalism in front of our eyes, yet again....
Cant wait to see them throw the rich out to make room for casinos and restaurants and condos.
This should be a good fight.
These people are the millionaires.....
The billionaires want this land now....

Santorum and Lieberman lit the match and Feinstein blew on it!

[karmafriend]

lots of fat cat repugs, who don't give a rat's ass that the u.s. is being flushed down the shitter by their pals, are losing their their homes to fire today.

[FreedomCorpse]

It will be a good day in America when Glenn Beck is finally fired for being a worthless schmuck which he has always been.

[VOTER]

[leftLibertarian]

I challenge chicken Hawk Glenn Beck to go it man to (in your case Beck - chicken Hawk).

You choose the weapons, knife, gun, fist.

[MrBritesnide]

It's just a matter of time before "Limbaugh Lite" alcoholic, Glenn Beck gets thrown off TV as he was off radio.

[WilliamPilgrim]

Why does Glenn Beck hate Americans?

Who are his sponsors?

[readyforchange]

What an arrogant ass Beck is. And to think he has his own show. Way to go, CNN.

[totalliberal]

And the 'stupification' of America continues.


I was going to read a book today and learn something, but I didn't want people to think I hated America.

[lizzienapp]

I meant demographically challenged...

"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."

This asshole makes no sense. What the hell does he mean? If your not a democrat but you hate America then a few of you are losing your house to fire???

What a moron. Think, if that's possible Mr. Beck, before you speak.

[lizzienapp]
