Flashback: Beck said he was against capitalizing on a ‘historical terrorist attack.’
Flashback: Beck said he was against capitalizing on a ‘historical terrorist attack.’
Tomorrow, Glenn Beck’s 912 Project will be holding a march in Washington, DC to showcase right-wing anger against President Obama, health care reform, “corruption,” and “an overall conversion to a socialist style government.” Beck’s pet project is clearly an attempt to capitalize on the memory of 9/11, coming just one day after the anniversary of the attacks. However, in the past, Beck has criticized the supporters of the Ron Paul “Revolution” who did a fundraiser on Guy Fawkes Day:
It’s really not the way I would go, tying my movement in with a historical terrorist attack, especially in post-9/11 America.
Beck, however, has also said that he “hates” the families of the victims of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Although Beck conceived of the 912 Project, most of the day-to-day organizing has been orchestrated by a familiar set of lobbyists and Republican operatives who helped plan anti-Obama “grassroots” tea party events since February.

Glenn Beck makes me projectile vomit.

You’re really going to hold Beck to something he said almost two years ago when the Republicans operate on the axiom that everybody’s attention span is only five minutes long?
Besides, Beck didn’t know at the time he said this that Barack Obama would actually WIN the election, causing him (plus most other wingnuts and all of Fox News) to have to backpedal like crazy.
September 11th, 2009 at 12:48 pmWell, it’s official, and I’m going to counter every right wing f%$#tard I can with this: Barack Obama has kept this country safer than the criminal cabal known as the Bush administration.
September 11th, 2009 at 12:49 pmSuck on that Cheney.
I’m guessing there will only be about 200 people there.
The same 200 the gop has been bussing around the country to town hall meetings and texas court house when they said they had a million that wanted texas to quit the union.
September 11th, 2009 at 12:49 pmBeck is a nutcase and a liar.
I’m shocked.
September 11th, 2009 at 12:50 pmHe was going to skip the 9/11 tie-in,
until he figured he could make a lot more money by using it.
Heckuva a job, 912′ers – nothing says freedom from terror like making Glenn Beck rich.
September 11th, 2009 at 12:52 pmIn regard to the frequent claims of socialism: IMHO corporate greed has contributed to the mess this country is in. I’m thinking a little socialism wouldn’t be so bad. Oh, and Beck is a blathering idiot.

Think for a moment about the fact that someone with an hour of air time each day on what claims to be a news network found on virtually every cable package in this country is using the anniversary of a terrorist attack to protest as illegitimate the programs and policies of a democratically elected president. You can’t reason with that kind of lunacy.

_____________________________________________________________
It was actually an ANTI-abortion activist (with Operation Rescue) who was shot and killed. The police have a suspect in custody.
I anticipate that Beck, Hannity, O’Reilly, Limbaugh, and all the other right wing talking heads will condemn liberals for their violence against peaceful protesters. Even though we do not yet know the motive for the murder.
September 11th, 2009 at 1:05 pmAlejandro,
Is this where we use the wingnut tactic of saying one of their own killed that anti-abortion protester (who was in front of a high school for what reason?) to make it look like the pro-choice people did it?
September 11th, 2009 at 1:06 pmThe GOP has BEEN capitalizing on 911 since it happend! Since 2001, Bush and his Cabal have done everything in their power to weaken our rights, force a unnecessary war, wiretap innocent cilivilians all in the name of “National Security.” Glenn, O’Liely, Limbaugh slammed EVERYONE who wouldn’t Kowtow to the Bush Admisistration. So Mr. Beck, you are a bald-faced LIAR!

This direct quote from Beck is more relevant today than the day he spoke this truth.
September 11th, 2009 at 1:13 pmWhat is Beck? A greedy narcissist. It’s not surprising at all that he would want astroturfers involved with his little 912 project thing. We know his crying is fake, and his stances are manufactured to strike at the most fearful part of the human psyche. This gets him viewers, and that’s all he cares about.
As I mentioned in a comment on another site, Beck would sell out his own children if it meant a few thousand extra viewers.
September 11th, 2009 at 1:14 pmMy shtick is on off-mode today – my thoughts go out to the families of the victims of September 11, 2001. It truly should remain with us for the rest of our lives and be made an official federal day of observance, or a holiday.

September 11th, 2009 at 1:16 pmYuck. Exactly what the country doesn’t need. If this was, in fact, a politically motivated murder, it’s completely unconscionable. Pro-life or pro-choice, it’s horrible that anyone would be killed merely for expressing their beliefs.

Good point. The president may not be doing everything to our progressive liking, but he is doing a tremendous job as president, managing sharp political divisions and finding time to meaningfully cover just about every issue in the book. The president is a one-day-at-a-time guy, undertaking the slow and painstaking job of achieving agenda items. On defense, we feel safer and more secure despite deep scars of Bush’s pentagon neocon bureaucracy, an establishment that still threatens to unilaterally disarm our military through mercenaries, mucked-up weapons systems and unaccountable funds.
When Obama leaves office, the Office of the President will be the most daring white-collar job in the world.

The delicious part of all this. The Mall also is apparently hosting the Black Family Reunion Celebration. It should be interesting to see what may happen with some of those Obama=Hitler or Obama=Nazi signs.
September 11th, 2009 at 1:39 pmWaiting to Die — Doh!
September 11th, 2009 at 1:40 pmAbortionist Tiller boasted about having performed tens of thousands abortions.
Those abortions were done within legal limits, and he was murdered, which is illegal. The murder in Michigan was also illegal. Murder is illegal. If you don’t like abortion, even for medical reasons, go to the courts and state your case. Lobby your reps.
September 11th, 2009 at 1:42 pmBirthers, tenthers, climate change deniers and any other paranoid dope that screams louder than anyone else about Americans becoming indoctrinated, socialist, communists, are just a sad example of how low living and educational standards in this country have fallen. In this age, with all our technology, information at the click of a mouse, Americans are more dumb than ever before. If you need proof just watch this.

_____________________________________________________________
Very true. And I made that comment with a great deal of snark.
The double standard here (according to the wingnuts) is that anything a Democrat says or does stays with him/her for life, but anything a Republican does or says has an extremely short shelf life.
This is why running up the national debt for the Bushco wars was OK, why it’s even OK for Bush’s bank bailout, but when Obama wants to stimulate the economy to get it going again, it’s “creating a burden for our grandchildren.”
This is why reconciliation is an acceptable way to get legislation passed when the Republicans are the majority, but totally unacceptable when the Democrats are in charge.
This is why it’s OK for Dubya to have about 40 “czars” in his administration, but Obama isn’t allowed to have any.
This is why it’s OK for Bushco to bomb Iraq and Afghanistan, but if Obama wants to take out known terrorist camps in Pakistan, he’s “attacking a sovereign nation”.
The list goes on and on. But the basic upshot is that the conservatives genuinely believe that any position they had more than five minutes ago doesn’t count.

September 11th, 2009 at 2:10 pmQuestion: if they care about 9/11 and homeland security so much, why aren’t the right wingers pushing for a troop surge in Afghanistan? That was the country that bred the organization that perpretrated 9/11, after all. It seems that the GOP is weak on terror.
Also, it seems to be increasingly unclear what these demonstrations are supposed to be about, exactly. I mean, at first it was less spending. But then gun nuts started showing up, people showed up with all kinds of irrelevant signage, they started crying about secret takeovers and Hitler, so at this point all I can tell from these things is that the wingnuts are all completely freaked out and none of them have the slightest idea as to why.
I’ll be interested to see how few people show up to this thing this time. Based on their track record, it will be very surprising if they can get more than a couple hundred tops.

September 11th, 2009 at 2:27 pmLet’s not underestimate what is likely to occur tomorrow in D.C. Right-wing websites are encouraging their followers to bring their weapons and be prepared to shed blood for the revolution that is going to overthrow the current government. Freedom Watch, Dick Armey, Hannity, Dobbs, and a whole slew of other nutcases are backing this and plan to be in town. Apparently, Freedom Watch and other organizations are busing people in from around the country. Hope security is tight and they are ready to lock some of them up. Rachel Maddow touched on this last night and Media Matters has an article on it, but the rest of the MSM seems to be ignoring it.

They should just leave the country and find another place to live, that is, if any other nation would accept them.
September 11th, 2009 at 2:52 pmI remember when Beck said he hated 911 victims. Then he describes the horror of 911 and weeps. But he hates 911 victims?

either way scary though.
September 11th, 2009 at 3:24 pmElBruce,
I think that one will find that the GOoPers gave up all pretense of actually pursuing the Taleban, or Bin Laden, within hours of attacking Afghanistan. And, while it’s speculative, I think that part of the reason is because closer examination would have led them to an uncomfortable conclusion. Namely that our “good friends” the Saudis were involved up to their eyeballs.
September 11th, 2009 at 3:27 pmI gotta laugh at the Fake Christ LOL…Bush had to throw hs brain, Rove, under the bus back when..

I know your job here is to vote comments down and attack the opponent. But how does it add to to your development that you are not allowed to see the flaws in your own judgement?
September 11th, 2009 at 3:44 pmI recall that scalping was done by people figthing against America.
But then again Beck hates America so I guess, in a odd way, its fitting.

September 11th, 2009 at 4:25 pmOf course he’s against using a historical tragedy and capitalizing on it for personal gain, unless he happens to not really particulary give a shit about it, apart from whatever he can get out of it.
I think the fact that he’s voiced a very strong disrespect for the 9/11 families is indicative of how much he cares about any of it. If it isn’t grist for personal aggrandizement for Beck, it doesn’t exist – it’s of no importance.
September 11th, 2009 at 5:20 pmGlenn Beck terrorizes on the fronts of pro-religion, pro-McCarthy, anti-free speech and slice and dicing the history books so George W. Bush and Dick Cheney are remembered for their “valiant struggles” against the total darkness of evil and against minorities, at home and abroad.
If Glenn Beck grew a beard and murmured in an Islamic tongue for a few seconds, you’d have Osama bin Laden’s pasty white husk.
September 11th, 2009 at 5:50 pmIt took about a year for Glenn Lee beck to hate the 9/11 victims.
September 11th, 2009 at 9:02 pmThose families, or any of the other genuine victims of 9/11 weren’t/aren’t important to Glenn and his fans, anyway.
What’s important to Glenn is the feeling of impotent rage in many people (who get their thrills from indulging in impotent rage) that the event evoked and evokes, and the awesome way he can twist that into something that gets him money.
Just like Charlie and The Family – a match made in a truckstop bathroom outside Barstow.
September 11th, 2009 at 9:17 pmBit you are a disgusting piece of filth. Sewer rats are several rungs above you on the evolutionary ladder. You are scum sucking vermin. Those are your best attributes. You disgust any decent human being. Abortion is legal. Just because YOU think it is killing a human being doesnt make it a fact. Killing Tiller was a murder. It was a murder committed by an unthinking soulless moron like YOU.
September 11th, 2009 at 11:27 pm@ 13, Alejandro said, and Trollspotter and Bit went on to say, various things about the anti-abortion person whacked in Michigan today.
Last I heard, the anti-abortion protester was killed as a side issue; the guy that killed him was disgusted by the photoposters the protester used at protests. Think of it as killing for art or aesthetics (micro-snark).
The killer was just whacking people he was pissed at, and was on his way to a third when apprehended.
Several people are correct in calling you out on this, bit. Killing is killing, and Dr. Tiller’s killing was murder, unless you happen to be one of those people who think the end justifies the means. If that’s the case, you’re solidly in the company of such renowned folks as Mao Tse Tung, Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler, Vladimir Lenin, Francisco Franco, Benito Mussolini, and other dictators to numerous to mention. Regardless of the differing socio-politcal models those guys were pushing, they all had that common element of thinking that the end justifies the means and the other commone element of all being murderers in service of their various ends. Truly excellent company for a Christianist to be in.
September 12th, 2009 at 1:25 ambitblt believes that the murder of Tiller was justified.
