I agree fully with him that there are some 9/11 victims' families that took advantage of the system and got more than they deserved... they are truly dirtbags. There were also dirtbag victims of Katrina. For the full story on what he said I recommend his new book "An Inconvenient Book". It is definitely worth reading (and an open mind will probably help most of you digest it) Glenn Becks comments were taken out of context.

A list of crimes by all the Law Makers, Senator Vitter hiring prostitutes and even Romney flip flop on gay rights. Larry Craig should have gone to trial he might have won. I liked when Danny said he did have sex in bathrooms with woman but never men because he's not gay. Now calling African Americans scumbags is a nice way to speak about our soldiers who in Afghanistan and Iraq dying for the United States. Some soldiers came back for Iraq/Afghanistan safe only to see they have no home. At lease these brave men/women got to know what Americans and the US Government really thinks of them. Those Black so called American scumbags that died didn't know how their country really felt. Our troops think when Americans and the US Government says Support our brave Troops, that meant all of the US soldiers, CNN helped they understand it didn't mean all just whites. The good news is our US troops support each other under the old US policy of all Americans being equal and they support and protect each other. Sorry to the racist but maybe the US Government can get the troops caught up on the new Racist Policy when the troops come home. The show had everything and every body in it.

I particularly enjoyed the end of Denny's trial when he quipped about not having to resign from the republican party if he had been found guilty (and by proxy gay). Alan's retort that the party would continue to embrace him as long as he spoke out against homosexuality was priceless. I hope somebody posts a video of that scene.
