Quote of the Day
You know, it took me about a year to start hating the 9/11 victims’ families. It took me about a year. Um, and I had such compassion for them and I really, you know, I wanted to help them, and I was behind — let’s give them money, let’s get them started, and all of this stuff. And I really didn’t — all the 3,000 victims’ families, I don’t hate all of them, I hate about, probably about ten of them. But when I see 9/11 victim family, you know, on television, or whatever, I’m just like, ‘Oh, shut up.’ I’m so sick of them. Because they’re always complaining. And we did our best for them.
-Glenn Beck, great American, on his lack of sympathy for the 9/11 victim's families. Never forget.

This post says as much about you, Cajun Boy, as it does Glenn Beck.
You could have posted something thoughtful and reflective. Or nothing at all.
Instead, you used the tragic anniversary to leverage our angry emotions and redirect them against Glenn Beck.
Tasteless.
Yeah he needs to burn in hell. Or maybe just experience a tragedy himself. That's ok, karma comes around. He'll get his well-deserved response from the universe for a total lack of compassion. What an ass. Either don't think hateful thoughts or for God's sake keep your trap shut when you do.
A woman I work with is in political love with Beck. I bet she would deny Becks words.
Never forget that Glenn Beck is an asshole, huh?
Sounds like you've forgotten...
On its own, and out of context, Glen Beck's words read miserably. I agree. However, who didn't have that "uh oh" moment when a victim of 9/11 or Katrina, complained that the government just didn't give enough.. didn't do enough.. didn't pay enough? Did the victims families from the Oklahoma bombing get anything from the government in compensation? I don't recall hearing that they did. If you think of all the potential future terrorist attacks we are likely to suffer (no crystal balls available), are we to expect that the risk we take in getting on a train, or a plane, or in entering a building is some kind of entitlement to millions of dollars IF that plane, train, or building is blown up via a terrorist's loaded backpack? Living is risky, unfortunately. Where do we draw the line? We must admit that SOME (and like G.B. said, "maybe 10") of the victims had their hands outstretched in such a twisted way that it nearly tainted public sympathy for the victims who were truly grateful for the support of our government and the public (American and international). 9/11 set the stage for Katrina "victims" who saw their loss as a potential goldmine. Keep statements in context, and the meaning remains intact. I'm not a big fan of GB, but if we'd all start reporting things fairly, and resist the urge to slant to our liking, maybe our country would GET somewhere?
