Glenn Beck Surprises Fox Hosts By Saying Good, Smart Thing
Glenn Beck: He's a citizen of the United States. So I say we uphold the laws and the constitution on citizens.
Brian Kilmeade: But he's a threat to the country. That's different!
Glenn Beck: So are a lot of citizens. If you're a citizen [the government needs to] obey the laws and follows the constitution. He has all the rights under the constitution.
Brian Kilmeade: How about he tried to blow up a city block in the last 48 hours?
Glenn Beck: We don't shred the constitution when it's popular. We do the right thing.
-An exchange from a "Fox and Friends" segment that aired this morning about whether or not accused Times Square bomb-attempter Faisal Shahzad should be read his Miranda rights. It's always good to learn that the world and people in it are more complex than we often think. Even Glenn Beck. Soon after making the surprisingly wise statement, Beck celebrated the torture of "the hairy-backed guy," Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and said that the Obama administration was "cozy with all our enemies." But still.
Was Timothy McVeigh read miranda. I'm guessing he was and was otherwise treated like what he was–a mass murdering. I believe he has since been executed.
"murderer" or "murdering shitfuck," whichever you prefer.
I believe when he was arrested, it wasn't for the bombing. He was driving without plates and possibly had a gun, too. At the time, the police didn't know he was responsible.
Yes, but treating him the same way as other criminals are treated did not interfere with justice. These people make it seem like getting a fair trial is the same as getting a get out of jail free card.
It's different now, though. Red-blooded American patriots are crashing planes into buildings while evil dirty foreigners leave fertilizer bombs on street corners.
Anyone read Dick Cheney his rights yet?
See? Fair and balanced.
I wonder what Brian Kilmeade has to say about when Lady Gaga blew up the internet?
She is a well established threat to the sexual identity of servicemen overseas. So I would assume Brian Kilmeade would again say, "That's different!"
Taking Brian Kilmeade's argument to its logical conclusion, Fox News should start agitating for the carpet bombing of Connecticut any minute now.
The word "logical" looks funny typed so close to "Brian Kilmeade" and "Fox News."
The problem is the overwhelming evidence against this guy would really make race-baiting sicker than it is. The guy is caught, admitted it, and is cooperating. What could Glenn Beck get out of this? Now…
I predict he'll start to rail against anyone traveling to Pakistan and leave it at that.
I'll bet Gretchen Carlson is so CONFUSED, so CURIOUS about this. She probably has the vapors.
Mental illness is unpredictable.
Beck doesn't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.
Heehee!
