Jon Stewart Blasts Glenn Beck & Michael Scheuer For Promoting Slaughter Of Americans (VIDEO)

Hey, you remember a couple of days ago when Michael Scheuer appeared on the "Glenn Beck Whirligig Of Freakjuice" to talk about border security, and he said that "the only chance we have as a country right now is for Osama bin Laden to deploy and detonate a major weapon in the United States." And then Glenn Beck was all up inside Osama bin Laden's head like he was the star of "CSI: Methamphetaminetown," gravely noting, "Which is why I was thinking this weekend if I were him, that would be the last thing I would do right now."

Remember that? Well, I think we can all say that reasoned discourse was perfected that day. I think the next time I see someone on the streets caught out in the rain, I'm just going to march up to them and yell, "What's it going to take, jerkface? Another HURRICANE KATRINA? Before you remember your fracking umbrella?"

However, on last night's "Daily Show" it sure didn't seem that host Jon Stewart took this eminently sensible discussion in the spirit it was offered. It looked to me like Stewart was speaking from the perspective of someone who lived through a terrorist attack and had little patience for fools who just casually suggest that maybe we'd all benefit from another one.

SCHEUER: The only chance we have as a country right now is for Osama bin Laden to deploy and detonate a major weapon in the United States....only Osama can execute an attack which will force Americans to demand that their government protect them.

STEWART: What the fuck is that? And by the way, here's the fascinating thing about our culture. My guess is that you didn't hear me say "fuck." Because the Federal government is protecting you and your children's ears from that type of profanity. While, Santa's evil twin gets to, uhh...gets to nonchalantly proposes the needless slaughter of Americans to further his national security plan. But, obviously, in this country, everyone's entitled to their dope-pinion.

Beck, of course, has launched some campaign called the 9/12 Project, in which he beseeches Americans to start being the people they were on September 12th. I gather now that when Beck says that, he'd saying he'd like many of us to be like the people on September 12th who were scorched into ashes by Osama bin Laden.

As much as you can say that you didn't mean that you actually WANTED someone to fulfill this prophesy, it doesn't take away the fact that a large portion of your viewing audience uses their faith and the 100% trust they put in the garbage you spew over the airwaves to guide them...not facts, rationale or reason. One of them I'm sure, is up to your proposed task and it will be on your head.

I think I know what its like inside Becks head now. I just watched a movie called " Land of Plenty" on IFC..
It was a visual insight on how people like Beck think and react. Scary actually.

No Gore documentar­ies based on facts, which you are immune to.

I have been living in a bubble for too long letting others deciding most of the issues I care about for me, politics didn't seem as important, but listening these rightwingn­uts scare the hell out of me.

So, beck wants us to be the people we were on sept. 12th? As I remember, we were the people that came together, and regardless of political affiliatio­n supported our president in time of crisis. Is that what beck want?

I herd him say that it would take a catastroph­e to get the American people to allow their government to use enough violence to keep us safe. He seems the see the election of Obama as a rejection of the use of our military. He seems to get it on that point.

Who will run the global empire's security service if 'we' don't?

What sickness the GOP has bred.

What hateful words the GOP has fostered.

What horrible ideas the GOP has endorsed.

What despicable deeds the GOP sets forth.

The GOP: a Group of Propagandi­sts.

I see this again and I can't help but replace "as a country" with "as a politlcal party (GOP)"

We need to demand that our government protect us from the Right Wing nut jobs and their followers who are likely to take this freak of nature and the rest of his traitorous ilk up on the challenge. And this really can't wait. Every one of us, even including the 22 percent in their club, are in danger from these insane ranters.
