I’m sure most of you do not need any convincing that Glenn Beck is little more than a con artist who has found a way to make millions by exploiting the fears of the feeble-minded people he calls his audience. But this one was too good to pass up.
Beck has been on a rampage ripping into Feisal Abdul Rauf, the guy behind the Islamic center to be built two blocks from Ground Zero. Beck has been portraying him as a terrorist sympathizer. Specifically he has attacked Rauf for making the following statements.
A) “I wouldn’t say the United States deserved what happened on 9-11, but the United States’ policies were an accessory to the crime that happened.”
B) “When people said they hate us [the U.S.], well, did we deserve 9-11? No. But were we minding our business? No. Were we in bed with dictators and abandoned our values and principles? Yes. That causes problems.”
You can debate whether Rauf was right or not in making these statements but Beck has no such doubts and sees it as a direct attack on the country he loves and further proof that Rauf cannot be trusted.
Oops. Did I say Rauf made both statements? Sorry, my mistake. Rauf made the first statement. The second one (B) was made by no other than Glenn Beck himself on April 15, 2010. If you can see any difference between the two, let me know because I sure as heck can’t.
