CNN's Beck on wildfire victims
By Steve Benen Sunday Oct 21, 2007 6:44pm
The devastating fires continue to ravage southern California. At least one person has been killed, dozens have been injured, and hundreds of thousands have been evacuated from their homes, including a quarter-million people in San Diego alone.
Overwhelmed firefighters said they lacked the resources to save many houses.
“We have more houses burning than we have people and engine companies to fight them,” San Diego Fire Captain Lisa Blake said. “A lot of people are going to lose their homes today.”
And to hear CNN’s Glenn Beck tell it, that’s all right, because those people aren’t any good anyway.
On the October 22 edition of his nationally syndicated radio program, host Glenn Beck stated, “I think there is a handful of people who hate America. Unfortunately for them, a lot of them are losing their homes in a forest fire today.”
I wonder what kind of psychosis leads a person to look at the California wildfires and think about the political ideologies of those who are suffering.
I guess that’s what makes Glenn Beck special.
UPDATE: John Amato: I remember when the earthquake of '94 hit. I was selling computer parts back then to help support myself and a purchasing agent from Alabama told me the reason the quake hit Northridge was because there was so much pornography being produced there. See, we all deserved it.

Wow. Just, wow. What an asshole.
Funny. I'm in San Diego and most people here are conservative military-loving GOPers. He must've meant Malibu.
And my ex-husband's potentially losing his house in the Rancho Bernardo area -- he's republican to the core.
Throw Beck's worthless ass on the fire line. Somebody please [fill in violent fantasy] him.
Why/how have they been so succesful at smearing lberals with the "hate America" tag?
I have hated Glenn Beck for a while, but this is over the fucking top.
Somebody let me know how this looser is still on the air and why CNN still hired him in the first place.
This man is not a journalist. All he is a conservative nut job who sucks up to the bush admin. What a joke. CNN, just fire his sorry ass already.
"John Amato: I remember when the earthquake of ‘94 hit. I was selling computer parts back then to help support myself and an purchasing agent from Alabama told me the reason the quake hit Northridge was because there was so much pornography being produced there. See, we all deserved it. "
Wonder if the idiot southern ChristianOfascist rednecks see the record drought accross the south as God's punishment on them for being a bunch of bigoted, homophobic backward ass wipes?
Glenn Beck really needs to go back on drugs. He was more fun then.
This smoke is making me dizzy. I guess it's because my lungs hate America.
Is Glen Beck saying that people who hate America should have their homes burned down?
Glenn Beck makes the Culture Warrior from Levittown look like an intellectual.
...I would like to also ad these fires are sweeping across southern California near heavily Republican Orange County, not the San Francisco area. God's punishing who Mr. Beck?
he's on crack(i allege)-that's gotta be it
Unfortunately, its not psycho behavior, this guy is a nonentity trying desperately to be noticed. If not for C&L I'd have never heard of what's-his-name or known who he is.
This guy can't be serious! Is he trying to sound like a moderate that paints all Californians with the same brush? How is this clown on the air? Did he and Coulter make a secret pact with the devil? WTF????!!!!!
Hey Glenn,
Just because a person dislikes the president and the administration, and does not support a senseless war does not mean that you hate America.
For the love of God GET BACK ON YOUR DRUGS!

Ruthless People @ 7:
Nah. They exclude themselves, because they're perfect, dontcha know. When I lived in San Francisco in the early 1980s, idiots from the hinterlands would write letters to the editor saying that drought was God's punishment on the gays.
Glenn Beck shows idiocy is not limited to any era or season. He's a jerk.
I wonder if he (beck)will have this attitude when chimp and shooter are sentenced for treason and [Deleted. Please do not advocate the death penalty (state sponsored violence) on this site-Sitemonitor]
Stay classy, Beck.
Don't worry, the right will come out and condemn him. wait.....wait, no they wont. They'll count the dollars (no matter how little they are) and defend him.
Beck might be upset because we kept Blackwater out of San Diego:
http://tinyurl.com/2v5ggb
I wonder if he realizes that San Diego county is overwhelminly conservative/Republican and ex and current military......
What a moron.
What is he implying? That the fires were purposely set by people who hate the people who lived there?
"...the quake hit Northridge was because there was so much pornography being produced there. See, we all deserved it."
That's funny, cuz the porn is produced in Chatsworth, not Northridge. I guess he thinks God doesn't sweat the details.
EJ @ 22:
Naw, that's not a given -- though the fire was near Potrero. We still might get Blackwater here. At least they're still trying.
Question: Are there any petitions or sties out there to get this clown off the radio and off CNN?
If not, then I'm going to start my own. I've had it with this Bigot.
Beck has proven what a flippent twit he is.
I seriously doubt there are any people the ultra rich Republican part of California which is currently burning who hate America.
Can't wait to hear the "context" in which that remark makes sense.
I'm pretty sure he was dissing the Malibu-ites, not the San Diegans.
And a guy from Alabama knows so effin much about the pr0n industry in Northridge how..?
Criminy. It never even occurred to me to wonder what political party or what kind of tax bracket these unfortunate folks fell into, but leave it to this cretin to try and, wait for it, politicize a godamn wildfire! This is made all the more interesting by Sluggirl's comment at @2 and 3.
Beck:
total moron.
Just look at his beady eyes and sloped brow! He's a missing link.
must be one of those Republican values I keep hearing about. I haven't been able to find any but this certainly seems like a fine example
“I think there is a handful of people who hate America. Unfortunately for them, a lot of them are losing their homes in a forest fire today.”
Ummm..., excuse me for thinking clearly, but, what portion of a "handful" constitutes "a lot"!?!
Glenn Beck is an idiot to be sure. But if we allow his insipid remark to derail us from the important business at hand then we are even stupider.
Focus people. Senator Chris Dodd is heroically putting a hold/filibuster on the new FISA bill which gives retroactive immunity to the telcos who tapped our phones illegally without a warrant. He is being challenged by his own party, specifically Harry Reid and Jay Rockerfeller. Chris Dodd needs our support to defend the 4th amendment.
Please call your Senator or Chris Dodd or Harry Reid or Jay Rockerfeller or Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama. Or call them all. Demand they support Chris Dodd. The call is FREE and takes only a minute. If the telcos. can "purchase" their immunity through the congress where will it stop?

Ask the operator to connect you to the appropriate person. Thank you.
Mr. Beck, I'll be sure to let my sister-in-law and my 16 year old neice what you said. They've been evacuated and may very well lose their home.
Ruthless people is right..Lake Lanier....supplies water to how many?1 million maybe more?Georgia is going to take a real hard hit.It must be Gods will..........there can be no other reason....according to Becks logic.This guy just says things to get a reaction.....I think he should try being reasonable,ya know....not being such an asshole....
uh yeah, if you believe in god and heaven and hell and you believe god is omnipotent and everything happens because he wants it to happen (or lets it happen) then it makes sense that disasters and catastrophes are punishment from god.
miss_kitty @ 32:
Because it's on the return address from his brown package deliveries.
The sad part about the comment by Beck is that he's to stupid to know that a large portion of San Diego is Republican...but you wouldn't expect him to do research so he knows what he is talking about...after all he's not Randi Rhodes!
I mean words just fail me. I don't understand WTF he's trying to say. Is there some point to that rambling diatribe?
Not a surprise. You just knew the right wing hate machine was going to say that people from California deserved it.
What a bunch of creeps.

What beautiful mind pictures you paint. Sigh.
Peace @ 36:
How these people frame the argument IS vitally important. I don't consider this remark insipid at all. It is a symptom of what is deeply wrong with our society. It's what is fueling the hate. And ignoring is allowing it to become commonplace. Acceptable. This kind of shit is not at all acceptable.
Focus on the big picture. Find the root cause. It's language.
If God really wanted to punish the bad people in this country, we all know where he/she/it should put some natural disasters.
COMPASSIONATE CONSERVATISM!
I don't know why anyone would find this shocking. This is another nut who will say anything for ratings. Even negative attention is attention. If you had low ratings and were ignored by most, you would try cheap publicity stunts too. Clearly, it worked.
Shaka Zulu @ 17:
Yeah, Moore wrote this after the 9/11 attacks. He quickly deleted it off his web site later.
Yet another reason having our National Guard in Iraq is not helping our security at home. Not to mention that since Iraq isn't a national emergency, having the guard overseas is *illegal*.
What's more surprising then the fact Glenn Beck would say this?
That posters are surprised that Glenn Beck would say this....
Give the man some credit though, he didn't post the addresses of the dirty f**cking hippies who lost their homes.
The most infuriating thing about statements like this, is they're not disprovable since God Himself is not in the habit of interrupting and clearing things up. So trolls like this can say hateful stuff like this and sit smugly back.

well...
the first step is to frighten the living shit out of the general population with a lot of CNN/FOX propaganda about Islamofascism....
henceforth getting a lot of people (dumocraps/repigs) to bend over and forgo their constitutional freedoms (in lieu of) security.
Evil islamo/terror mongers are apparently much scarier to most people than a global superpower like Russia who has (many nuclear weapons)
once everyone is scared shitless...
eveything else falls into place and shazzam!!!
all patriot act protesters/war protesters are instantly non-patriotic
The more these invertebrate NeoCons like Beck spew, the dumber they look.
Seig Heil Comrade Beck. Your ideologies days are numbered.

We got the all clear to return to San Elijo Hills this PM. Good luck Sluggirl. It's a friggin mess out there.
Sluggirl @ 2:
I was going to say the same San Diego is quite conservative. How conservative? Well, consider that the last time there was a huge wildfire that wiped out most of the SD suburbs (not even more than a few years ago), there weren't enough firefighters and other rescue people available because of continuous tax cuts and budget cuts to those departments.
I hate to say it, but the government of San Diego deserves to have their city burned down because they're too cheap to spend the money on the basic municipal necessities in an arid climate.
It'll be interesting to see if we have another Katrina response.....after all...it's Calif..
Che's Lounge @ 61:
I used to spend alot of time in that area...Cardiff,Swami's and San Elijo camp ground.....good luck folks........your in my thoughts.
How would Dreck Beck then explain all those tornadoes in Kansas?

It's Wealthy, and Governor Termahnator will kick arse. I'm sure Malibu and environs will be well finished, resettled and burned down and rebuilt again before the 9th Ward is shown some government love.
I can't believe this P.O.S. still has a show on CNN?!... Go to CNN.com and send them a message that you will stop supporting their programming and their advertisers. It will take about 2 seconds and they really hate getting emails from upset viewers.

It's a way for God to turn the farm land soil; saving the farmers the time required to plow???
Where's the bulk of the California National Guard? Hmmmmm?
I live in Los Angeles.
FUCK CNN.
I understand networks are all about business, and, to those they give their own shows, I'm sure they sell or they wouldn't be on. But Beck is giving CNN a bad name. I rarely watch CNN anymore, really because of the bogus and disingenuous direction they pretend to go in, just to win over some conservative viewers. They have to be losing more than they're gaining. And Beck is one hugely large reason.
miss_kitty @ 68:
Of course your right miss kitty.But what I'm looking for is how boosh deals with this disaster.We know there will be a faster turn around in rebuilding.I'm just looking for the in your face hypocricy.......know what I mean.
Beck would soil his panties and dress if the same happened to him.
Maybe he just plays the part of a a goofy-ass, wild-eyed ranter for the money, but I have a hunch Glenn Beck might be literally certifiable.
In any case, it seems like people who tend toward a "conservative" or authoritarian mindset (see above) more often look at almost any event or issue from a black and white, "good" vs "evil" conflict persepective. Nuance and subtlety are not their forte... That's why they more readily classify themselves as "Conservative", while liberals and progressives aren't as comfortable being labeled, even by themselves.
We all saw this recent story? It's just the way their poor little un-challenged brains are hardwired:
http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-sci-politics10sep10,0,...
How do the true believers in the "free market" explain how Beck still has a show despite his pathetic ratings?
My sister works for SD police dept. She says its horrible and neighborhoods are going up in flames literally minute after evacs. A friend of hers working the fire division had to take the call about the evac of an apartment building which turned out to be hers. She lost everything. Nobody "deserves" this.
Find out more about who produces this show..
AND Find out WHO finances this crap.. and expose the Beck staff
We remember.. This BECK punk launched into national radio syndication soon after Sept. 11, 2001
http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Glenn_Beck
BECK called hurricane survivors in New Orleans 'scumbags,' and also said he 'hates' 9-11 families
http://mediamatters.org/items/200509090003
And in 2003, Beck countered anti-war protests by using his radio show to organize pro-war rallies across the nation..

They keep playing us, week after week. This week its Glenn Beck, last week Ann Coulter, next week Michelle Malkin. These people are PAID to say outrageous things. That's their job. To redirect and control the national conversation. To steer what the country is talking about away from the important matters to trivial ones. Liek arguing about what an ass Glenn Beck is. I'm not saying this story is unimportant. I'm saying Glenn Schmuck's opinion on it is meaningless. He's an actor paid to say those lines. And if we sit and squawk about it and also don't find the time and energy to call Congress and demand action on more important matters then Glenn Beck has won, period. He has successfully got us to look the other way, like a magician.
Please find time and energy to call Congress. It should be a part of your everyday routine by now. When their phones ring they take notice. They're afraid of our wrath. When the politicans know we're watching them they will no longer ignore us. Don't let the Glenn Beck's of the world win.
Please call your politican and Demand they support Chris Dodd's hold/filibuster of the immoral FISA bill. Don't let them destroy the 4th amendment.

This goofy cause and effect agenda, is always very dumb. But you really can't expect too much thought from a bunch of morally-depraved Christians. I have to say though, I'm always delighted when a red state takes a hit; all those moralizing, god-worshiping folks getting kicked in the ass by their God, (who's in control of all things so they say). Since I'm not repressed by a magical belief system myself, the fires in California have no moral value.
Oh yeah, now I remember why I stopped watching Fox...I mean CNN.

Clearly you have all taken Glenn out of context. He was referring to the Taliban in Pakistan. If you listen carefully he mentions Pakistan at 15:47 minutes into his radio show. He then mentions the Taliban at the 47:12 mark.
At 2:46 in, he then refers to the America haters in San Diego (clearly he is talking about the Taliban).
You liberals, George Soros America haters. Media Matter rail roads another innocent victim.
“I think there is a handful of people who hate America. Unfortunately for them, a lot of them are losing their homes in a forest fire today.”
"For them"? Is he implying that it is fortunate for everyone else?
Not that it matters, but San Diego is the most Republican big city in California. Orange County is historically the heart of Conservadom. (Reagan? Nixon? Anyone?) Pepperdine University near Malibu is where Ken Starr secured a comfy sinecure as dean of the law school after the Clinton impeachment.
What a maroon!
ps screw Beck. that guys a bloated drunken sexist moron. why do liberal sites ever give these morons any lime light.

I don't see why people get so outraged at some jackass in the media. Seriously. Jackasses are everywhere. You encounter them everyday. But if the guy at the local gas station says some stupid shit like that, do you start a petition calling for his dismissal? Do you protest in front of the gas station until they fire him? Well, maybe you do, but I don't.
I bring my objections to the attention of the proprietor. I tell him/her what happened, and make it clear that I shall henceforth be taking my business to his/her compettitors and advising everyone I know to do the same. Then I get on with my life, and I never return.
Just because this jackass is on radio or television, I don't see why the reaction should be any different. Advise CNN and whoever carries his radio show in your area that you find his program objectionable, that you shall be tuning into the programs of their compettitors and advising you friends and family to do the same.
Contact his advertising sponsors and tell them the same thing. If you have used their products or services in the past, tell them that, despite you past satisfaction, you will be taking you business to their compettitors and advising your friends and family to do likewise. Tell them that if they should reconsider their sponsorship of the program at some point in the future, you would appreciate a public announcement of the change so that you might once again do business with them.
Then get on with your life.
Just registering your complaint with the station, the network, or the sponsors does nothing to change their policies. It just lets them know that you were watching, that you were paying attention. They love that. Tell them that their policies benefit their compettitors, and then prove it by following up your word actions. That is how I deal with jackasses.
If he's referring to Malibu, Pepperdine University is threatened...hardly a bastion of liberalism. In fact, Ken Starr is a professor there.

Glenn Beck, "If they don't fight the fire in California, we will have to fight them at the doorsteps of real patriots."
Doesn't Glenn Beck has a Iraqi market to frequent?
How many time do you think Glenn Beck was made fun of and/or beaten up at school? The guy was likely some lardo kid who was a total outcast. Girls never spoke with to him and he was terrible at all sports. Uncoordinated lug of a kid with 18 chins.

CNN should be ashamed for giving Glenn Beck his position of influence. Really!
God controls the world. God is just. Therefore everyone who dies in an 'act of God' must be evil. Evil = hating America. It is awesome that all those tornadoes in Oklahoma and Kansas can even find liberal Democrats.
That's Glen "the little media" Speck for you
Weren't there ministers and pundits who claimed that Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans because of the (then) imminent 'Southern DecaDance' gay pride event?
And Falwell said that gays and abortion rights advocates brought on 9.11...
I warned you about Beck when he first arrived on CNN.
There is no dearth of assholes from the fascists wingnuts, fortunately they frequently reveal themselves to the general public. What fascinates me, and is also frightening, the huge number of pathetic assholes that make up the fascists audience.

Glen Beck really needs to sue the doctor who gave him that labotomy!
I think we should all give Glen Beck some slack. I really doubt he gave much thought to what he said. (Does he ever?)
you know what? Glenn Beck has no balls at all. He talks sooo tough, but if he wants to put his money where his mouth is, give me a call Glenn. My wife and I just returned to our smoke filled home after being evacuated at 4am. Did I mention my wife is 39 weeks pregnant? The hospitals are getting full, the whole damned city is being evacuated one town at a time, and you think you're so fucking funny? I know what's funny... the repair-job I'm going to do on your face if you ever said that to me in person.
Do you have the balls to say it to my face? Do you think my wife and I and our unborn baby deserve to lose the home we struggle to pay for in this shitty economy? Do you really think your Neocon party has any credibility left?
I'll tell you what. How about I give you the match to burn your own house of cards down, Glenn boy.
Wow, isn't he based in San Francisco?
Maybe someone should point out to Mr. Beck that San Diego is home to a naval base. I'm sure many of them (active duty or retired) live in and around the wildfire areas.
Or perhaps he thinks they're all "phony seamen"?
Comments like those are what you go to hell for Glenn.
The only reason CNN/HNN keeps this turd on is because they must agree with everything he says, and are backing him 100 percent because they want the American people to think exactly like Glenn does.
It can't be for the ratings, because Beck's ratings are in the toilet. They're some of the worst on HNN. Nobody's watching him, yet, CNN/HNN insists on keeping him on the air.
If it wasn't for C&L I wouldn't even know who this Beck asshole is. Why even waste the blog space bringing up his purposeful ignorance? Ass clowns like Beck, Coulter, Limbaugh & the rest get paid big money to stir people up with hateful stupidity, and then they giggle with glee when the sputtering starts on this end.
How's that for a career? Professional pin head.
I cannot even imagine what would happen to Beck if people really got what they deserved.
i'm a new resident to the s.d. area--the coast. yesterday afternoon i could smell smoke here and see the haze. all last night and this morning i could smell it. first thing this morning i'm on the net. all local t.v. stations' websites, newspapers. all kinds of hero stories and maps with cartoon flames on them. they mention X neighborhood and sections west of and east of roadway #___.
it's bad enough to suffer this when you're looking for yard sales but gaddamn, could we have maps showing towns and streets with real fire boundrys and possible evac. areas?
it was about 1pm before i found what put my mind at ease at www.sdcountyemergency.com
i found this web address from a commenter at a discussion site.
fuckin unbelievable.
the effing local and national media suck rotten eggs thru a straw and love it.
plastic, empty, worthless yakking heads.

p.s. often in cent. kentucky you can smell smoke from forest fires 200mi to the e. so it wasn't real scary...the problem was a lack of info.
