As if the laughably absurd comments made by drug-addicted Rush Limbaugh weren’t bad enough (or how about the comments made by the Chair of the Republican Party Michael Steele that affording gay people equal rights would be just too expensive), the new conservative poster child Glenn Beck made a terribly offensive remark Wednesday on Faux News actually encouraging a terrorist attack to “wake up” Americans! Here’s the transcript:
“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. Because it’s going to take a grass-roots, bottom-up pressure, because these politicians prize their office, prize the praise of the media and the Europeans. It’s an absurd situation again. Only Osama can execute an attack which will force Americans to demand that their government protect them effectively, consistently, and with as much violence as necessary.”
Absolutely disgusting.
