Another MSM outlet picks up on Glenn "I LOVE TO HATE" Beck's hateful comments

Talk radio host links fire victims to those who 'hate America'

Glenn Beck's comments draw a rebuke from one media watchdog group, whose spokesman calls them 'heartless.'
By Andrew Blankstein, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer

With more than 1,100 homes destroyed, two deaths reported and more than a quarter-million people ordered to evacuate, the wildfires ravaging Southern California have been as indiscriminate as they have been devastating.

But the images of charred residences, grieving homeowners and valiant firefighters apparently were not enough to move conservative talk radio host Glenn Beck, who told his listeners on his nationally syndicated show Monday that those suffering losses "hate America."

"I think there is a handful of people who hate America," Beck said. "Unfortunately for them, a lot of them are losing their homes in a forest fire today."

The thing that really blows me away is the defense they've mounted. Classic bait/switch.

From the story:

A producer for Beck responded today: "To most rational people, 'unfortunately' still means 'unfortunately.' "


This line has been used more than once by his defenders.

What they don't mention is that the issue is that Beck called them America haters, which is the crux of the issue. And their defense is empty anyway, since the twit said
"unfortunately FOR THEM".
Like, it's not unfortunate for ANYONE else.

Yeah, and 9/11 was only "unfortunate" for those in the buildings and planes, right Glenn? You stupid bastard.

If you haven't contacted CNN yet, please do so.
