Listen to this rant about the Supreme Court decision on Gitmo detainees and you'll know the state of conservatism in this country He's like so many of them.
Beck: This court has done some frightening. frightening things....If I'm president of the US, I would go on National television and say---'ladies and gentlemen, the Supreme Court said that we don't have Gitmo so that is over. We're going to release all of them, but I want you to know from here on out our policy is to not have prisoners. We're going to shoot them all in the head.'
If we think they are against us, we're going to shoot them and kill them---period because that's the only thing we've got going for us---cause we can put them away and get information. If we can't put them away and they're going to use our court system---kill them.
The Court never said we didn't have Gitmo or couldn't arrest or prosecute them. Maybe Beck could ask Bush why he can't get guilty verdicts with all the resources we spend on the war on Terror. What an example of American thought he represents. Mass killings are only predicated on what we (US Govt) think about them. How nice. It doesn't matter if he said this on TV or on the radio, he should be immediately fired by CNN to start with. What an embarrassment for them.
Here's one CNN contact page.
Leave more contact info in the comment thread. Bush was unhappy too.
Mr. Bush said he strongly disagreed with the decision - the third time the court has repudiated him on the detainees - and suggested he might seek yet another law to keep terror suspects locked up at the prison camp, even as his presidency winds down.....Justice Department spokesman Peter Carr said Thursday's decision should not affect war crimes trials. "Military commission trials will therefore continue to go forward," Carr said.
Maybe the press can ask Bush and his PR staff if he'd like to shoot and kill them also.
When the Supreme Court makes a decision that the right doesn't agree with it's judicial activism. When they agree with the decision, the SCOTUS made the right decision. You have to ask yourself...how can the judges be activists only sometimes. shouldn't they be radical interpreters of the constitution and flawed all the time. In the last month, they ruled FOUR times for the right and TWO times for the left...all on 5-4 counts.
It's amazing that the right can call the left fascists.
Glen Beck is a moron! nuf said!
um... why do i have this strange feeling of deja vu?
did he say this AGAIN?
Why even bother contacting CNN? They obviously adore Glenn Beck. Despite Beck's abysmal ratings, embarrassingly stupid remarks, and just overall "painful to watch" factor, the heads at CNN are behind him 1000 percent, just like they are the president. No matter how obvious it is that giving Beck a multi-year contact was a complete disaster, no matter how much Beck (and Bush) embarrasses themselves, no matter how keeping Beck on makes CNN look like fools...
THEY WILL KEEP HIM ON!
Can you say "lynch mob mentality?"
this guy makes me cringe. arghh
The best way to handle assplugs like Beck:
Ignore them, or organize a boycott against their advertisers, right? Is there a list of advertisers for Glenn Beck's show anywhere?
In a sane world a statement like this should at least get his show yanked and maybe bag him a little jail time.
Why is Imus fired and this guy still has a job?
Uh a lot of people at the GITMO concentration camp are innocent. I guess we "Bought Them" like Slaves, or "Payed Bounties" like to Jabba the Hut?
As for Glenn Beck, what is good for the goose is good for the gander. regards
Since Beck is part of an organized propaganda campaign, could his comments be subject to UN war crimes? Of course, as long as the US is a lone superpower, it won't allow itself to be subject the UN laws.
war crime mentality
Everyone - please stand back and allow the detainees passage.
Guards, please line the prisoners up against the wall.
Thank you.
Mr. Bush - do you have any last words?
Mr. Cheney? Mr. Cheney? Please stop faking the heart attacks. It's too late for that. Any last words sir?
Mr. Rove - do you?
Please stop crying, Mr. Bush. No, your dad didn't get you a stay. Stand up please. Guard, please put Mr. Bush on his feet.
Mr. Gonzo - Anything you'd like to say? Oh Christ! Now you stop crying. I thought you were supposed to be a bunch of tough guys.
Mr. Scooter - Would you like to say something?
Great. Guards, you may fire when ready.
I say we take Glenn's advice and kill them all.
We can televise it on CNN.
We can give Glenn Beck the handgun and have him pull the trigger...for all of them.
I wonder if the little chicken-shit could do it.

This really saddens me. Not frightens, saddens.
This country is on a path, a path that has been taken before. A path that always ends up at the same destination. Sadly those who could warn us about the inevitable conclusion we are all to face, have mostly died away into history.
In what can only be described as a paradox, the only way we are going to be able to not let this happen 'again', is after we all go through it personally, and it is burned into our experience exactly how this came to be.
Its getting harder and harder to ignore whats happening here.
Glen Beck = FLY SPECK
The 'Contact CNN' link does not work, when you submit your message you get an error message
Beck is like Patrick Bucannan who in his many books has described the U.S. as
"American Exceptionalism". WE are the only Superpower, We are ALWAYS right,
We bomb innocent civilians and treat them as scumb because they are in the way,
We have preemptive wars without qualm because We have a leader who is unconcerned as to loss of civilian life, etc. etc. I don't agree w/Buchannan,
but nevertheless, it sure looks as if Beck is one of those idiots who for some unknown and inexplainable reason is permitted to preach his intolerance againist
mankind. CNN should be ashamed of themselves for allowing such a jerk on their
newscasts. If one is going to line up the enemy and shoot them without permitting
the rule of law to be followed, then Beck is near the top of the list for my personal
target shooting.
Beck is such a pathetic little creep, he really is. You have to wonder what happens in a person's life that makes him so mean, so nasty, so hate-filled, so quick to resort to violence. Of course, it's other people doing the violence for him, but he'd probably pay to watch.
And he gets paid big money to be this way. What a sick, sad world.
I saw an interesting movie this morning and there was a line that caught my attention:
,b>
"Laws have no effect on evil men."
The point, within the movie, was that evil men use laws to shield themselves and keep honest people in line. Evil men have no need or respect for laws. They are above all laws and will murder and steal without compunction or remorse.
Glenn Beck is an evil man. He wants laws to work for him, but they do not apply to him.
WTF!?! OMG! Do you think forcing him to take a course in US history course would help him to understand our court systems have properly dealt with terrorists in the past? Oh what am I saying? No of course not.
If Beck had been alive in 1930's Germany, he would've been Hitler's biggest fan.
The Courts Ruling was against McCain's Military Commissions Act of 2006; Why isn't McCain mentioned in any of this stuff?
I don't get the outrage
What's the difference if we shoot a guy in a cell in Gitmo or shoot down a family on a street in Iraq.
It's all murder. And we are all criminals. All of us. Every person that is not actively seeking the arrest and imprisonment of
Bush and his minions are just as guilty.
But I am scared of dying or going to prison with my mom still alive.
Congress too.
I crossed the line a few days ago. I can't feel good about anything.
I want to run down Pennsylvania Ave. with a bag of handcuffs and 2 million Americans behind me.
After this, I'm rethinking "freedom of speach"
The CNN comment line referenced above is NOT working.
John Amato,
CNN is not accepting anymore criticisms of Beck and either their system is overloaded, or they pulled down the page as the message reads, "Page Unavailable."
The Conservative way...when the message falls flat and the hiost looks like a jerk, shut off the mike.
We'ere just getting around to this?
this was a week ago! At least!
oh well....
Shouldn't we at least give them a trial, then shoot them in the head? WTF? Mere suspicion is not only guilt but also subject to the death penalty? Frightened people can be talked into the strangest rationales.
steve r.@27: Yep, I tried twice to send CNN some comments(negative of course)
as to Beck, but got the same message...so all I can do is say "Fuck CNN and
Beck".
On my annual 4th of July rereading of the Constitution, I did find a couple of entries possibly relevant to the detainee situation.
I was sort of looking for it, since the reading into the Congressional notes the impeachment articles against boosh.
US Constitution
Article III Section 2 clause 1: The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and TREATIES MADE, or which SHALL be made, under their Authority;--to all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls;--to all Cases of admiralty and maritime Jurisdiction;--TO CONTROVERSIES TO WHICH THE UNITED STATES SHALL BE A PARTY;--to controversies between two or more States;--between a a State and a citizen of another State;--between Citizens of different States;--between Citizens of thie same State claiming Lands under the Grants of different States, and between a State, or the Citizens thereof, AND FOREIGN STATES, CITIZENS OR SUBJECTS.
Such treaties that the Supreme Court has the responsibility to address would presumably cover such treaties as the Geneva convention.
Interestingly enough Amendmentms IV and V don't refer to the rights of citizens against unreasonable searches and seizures without probable cause or having to answer for a capital or otherwise infamous crime without a bill from the Grand Jury, but to PEOPLE, under American jurisdiction. Amendment VI referes to the Accused, having the right to a speedy and public trial, so presumably these amendments protect the rights of non-citizens.

What I thought were fireworks going off turned out to be a fly landing on the wall.
Lucky fireworks
I never get off
Except of course in my commentary.
Who watches this guy? Does he have the 80+ crowd sown up? What a pudgy little moron. Glenn go back to drinking. You were so much less harmful then.
The CNN link is broken. I guess they don't want to be reminded that Beck's approach is the same as the right wing death squads in Central and South America.
24 marko
Murder is defined in Black's Law dictionary as the UNLAWFUL killing of a human being by another with malice aforethought.
When you have government authority to do so, like a soldier or executioner, you may be a killer but not a murderer.
If the invasion was never properly authorized, you go after those in government responsible, not the soldiers.
Those tried at Nuremburg weren't just following orders, there was clear evidence of ambition or sadistic delight through excessive brutality that went well beyond their orders. That's why the rank and file soldiers of the Wehrmacht could be used afterwards as part of Germany's new police force.
ysbaddaden @ 35:
I hold that the order given to the first soldier to set foot in Iraq was an illegal order, and that all actions subsequent to that
are all illegal. You bring up Nuremburg. The greatest crime that can be committed is a war of aggression. I wish I had the guts
to fight them. I think about it everyday. But I have to take care of my mom. I am that is left.
I want to die.
Beneath contempt.
Great book : The End of America: Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot - Glenn's bringing it on!
TheRevolutionWillNotBeTelevised @ 15:
they are not dead, they are being ignored until they die.
then we go:"they said some important shit!"
Then we go on like nothing happened.
Glenn Beck is that mildly retarded, big mouth co-worker that always says we should "turn the Middle East into a giant glass parking lot."
Yet CNN employs this jackalope, and people spend dinner time watching his drivel. There's something cosmically funny about it.
I should make an exception for the Final Solution,
That's the sort of orders that soldiers are responsible to refuse.
However, refusal may mean prison or execution of you by your own authorities
And not refusing may mean execution by the victors if not your own.
Just shoot people in the head because we "think" they're against us? So it doesn't matter whether we're mistaken, and can't credibily show if any of these detainess truly are really "against" us, we just shoot them because we "think" they are?
Geez this guy Beck is looney tunes. Why not apply this logic to people the police pick up because they "think" they committed a crime? Sure would save us a lot of money, eh?
ysbaddaden @ 32:
next time, I'm having what you had. :<[)
ysbaddaden @ 41:
and it only happens in the movies. that's why there is the Hague.
Nobody is perfect, but Mr. Beck comes as close to being a perfect fool as anyone.
StirFry @ 40:
mildly????? you sure??????
How do these jagoffs keep pushing the argument that "the problem with the Supreme Court ruling is that people who were legally determined to be innocent may end up walking the streets"?
OK. That's it. I'm done. Conservatives need to be rounded up and put into camps . . . forever.
22 CatAtomic Says: If Beck had been alive in 1930’s Germany, he would’ve been Hitler’s biggest fan.
Absolutely true. I would love to see how these clowns would react if they themselves were treated as they desire others. Sorta like Hannshitty when he got fired. Didn't he ask for help from his despised ACLU? The same with FallafelBillo. Always good to get rid of the "others" but not the white hats.
StirFry@40: "Cosmically funny"? Do you mean like having cheney shooting you
in the face?
I think Glen Beck is against us. Should I take his advice?
RancidVenison@51: Very, very good point. And w/Beck's excellent advise, we
should all get our guns & have a little target practice with Beck being the target.
The only difference between Glen Beck and a racist Skinhead is a quarter inch of stubble.
He has a lot of repressed anger since his mother committed suicide. CNN has kindly given him an outlet.
Pricks lilke this should be worried that, in the chaos, often times the gun ends up being pointed in multiple directions.
Actually, in a sick, twisted way Beck is kind of on to something. I'm surprised that none of the lawyers involved have requested summary execution yet...the defense lawyers that is, not the prosecution. It might be a way to focus the gadfly-like attention span of the MSM on the issue.
Defense Lawyer: Your honor, I respectfully request that my client be shot in the head.
Prosecutor, Judge: ...What?
DL: This is clearly a kangaroo court designed to deprive my client of his basic human rights and end up with his execution anyways, so lets stop beating around the bush and just take him out back and do the deed. Surely that's more humane than torturing him for years then killing him? More cost effective too.
P: That's preposterous! This is a fair court!
DL: So I can have unlimited access to my client and the evidence against him?
P & J: ...No.

Glen B is a terrorist- pure and simple.
I just sent this to CNN, you should too:
Fire Glenn Beck please. Advocating mass murder of detainees is far below acceptable discourse. Ethics don't allow it and your advertisers don't want it. Fire Glenn Beck now. Thank you.
The last time this country dealt with a government this corrupt, we threw them out and established one of our one.
Beck IS a genuine Nazi type personality.
He is basically advocating the start of death camps.
Here's an interesting thought. Has anyone considered that the United states, with its secret prisons, and torture camps, may, in fact be killing people and covering it up?
I have a feeling that there's a lot worse going on than we think.
You have to wonder, how many middle eastern civilians have to be killed before people in this country say 'enough'. It's time that the criminals in charge be prosecuted.
CNN's "Contact Us" page, after submitting the comments form, is going 404 as of 11:40 PST. I think they got more of an earful than they were prepared for... or have turned a deaf ear?
These people are out of control. Their hubris is astounding. Did power corrupt the-PIG-lics? I think the answer is clear. All laid out for everyone to see.
Of course it doesn't help that for the most part, they're all bat-shit crazy to begin with.

WCW@60: How did you send? I have tried CNN's "contact" site twice and

Don't forget Glenn's upoming one man show of compassionate conservatism.

Well, the feedback link is still not available...I guess that not only are CNN a bunch of idiots for supporting this kind of nonsense from Glenn Beck, they either are incompetent at website management or they are a bunch of cowards.
General Motors advertises on the Glenn Beck website. Here is feedback form for GM:
http://www.gm.com/utilities/contact_us/contact.jsp?deep=form&advertising
Where I just sent this message:
Dear GM,
You advertise on the Glenn Beck website. This week he said of detainees at Guantanamo, "We’re going to shoot them all in the head...If we can’t put them away
and they’re going to use our court system—kill them."
Does GM endorse this statement advocating mass murder of detainees at Guantanamo?
Thank you.
Stamps.com advertises on the Glenn Beck website. Their feedback form is at http://www.stamps.com/innerspace/contact_us/press/
Where I just sent this message
Dear Stamps.com
You advertise on the Glenn Beck website. This week he said of detainees at Guantanamo, “We’re going to shoot them all in the head…If we can’t put them away
and they’re going to use our court system—kill them.”
Does Stamps.com endorse this statement advocating mass murder of detainees at Guantanamo?
Thank you for taking the time to get back to me.
Glenn Beck gets the credit for CNN Headline News and CNN being perma-blocked on my TV sets.
I refuse to support a news outlet that readily supports such a propagandist as Beck.
Fired? He'll probably be promoted. There's a youtube of radio wingnut Michael Reagan insisting that babies raised by "terrorist mothers " should be killed by "sticking grenades up their butts". Babies. Grenades. And this baby-killing advocate was on a CNN political panel recently. Didn't seem to hurt his career any. Oh well....I guess Yoo has paved the way for infanticide. Charming.
"If we think they are against us, we’re going to shoot them and kill them"
It was not specifically towards current Gitmo prisoners, it was everyone.
And seeing that some 70-80 % of the US population is against them, along with most of the rest of the world, well...
WCW@69
It's nice- very nice!- that you're providing the feedback forms for all of Beck's advertisers, but do you find it necessary to include your obviously-template-letters to each of them here?
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust.
WCW: Thanks for GM and Stamps "contact addresses". I have written both.
I got an error message when I tried to submit this at CNN. Are we overloading their circuits?
FWIW, here's what I wrote. I had fun doing it:
I'm very concerned about Mr. Beck's recent comments concerning prisoners at Guantanamo Bay. Apparently it's not enough for Mr. Beck that we have weakened our protections against unjust detention at home and abroad through the Guantanamo arrangements. He rejects the idea that detainees have any rights, that there might be great costs associated with violations of our Constitution and international treaty obligations, and proposes we shoot detainees to sidestep any legal limitations on government action. It's getting trite to complain that Mr. Beck would be happier with fascism, but no less accurate with each opportunity to do so. Mr. Beck is the reductio ad absurdum of balancing the left and the right in our country. I am eagerly anticipating CNN's announcement it will balance Mr. Beck with a program hosted by a Spartacist calling earnestly for the nationalization of industries and the creation of mass communal farms.
Beck is mentally ill and needs help. His mother committed suicide and he has gone through bouts of suicidal depression himself. What's more to the point is that CNN employs him and promotes this mind numbing stupidity. Our media is the single most important problem we have. If we were informed instead of manipulated and entertained our society would be completely different. There would be problems but we would have the tools and the facts to solve them. As it is we have emotionally stunted and greedy ego maniacs working for an elite that wants war and poverty, fighting and death because it makes a profit and keeps the status quo in place. THe rich sta rich and the poor stay poor.
Matt @ 55 -
I think you're onto something. Beck may really be the embodiment of Jonathan Swift! He may be subversively propelling all of us toward a realization that the entire conservative movement is a crazy death-cult.
Or he may be an blow-dried, chemically-tanned, overpaid promoter of fascist leaning policies foisted on us in the name of fairness.
CNN keeps Beck and Nancy the Nazi Grace around to make Blitzer and Kyra look moderate.
It may not hurt to contact local cable providers as well.
Doggiebobo: You are welcome. It worked with William Bennett and Michael Graham. It is the right thing to do either way.
Everyone, complain to the sponsors. I have set up a Fire Glenn Beck page, with contact info to the sponsors, at http://got.to/firebeck
Trying to get Glenn Beck fired may be the wrong approach. I think (hope?) Beck does his cause more harm than good. Reasonable people (I admit many are not reasonable) will be turned off by his rants, which expose the right for what it really is.
It would appear the idiots are out in force today, fricken Lie-berman makes me want to hurl my guts out.

I could give a sh!t whether Glen Beck keeps his job- no one over the IQ of 70 listens anyway.
What is at issue is the advocation of mass murder and hate he repeatedly makes ON THE PUBLIC AIRWAVES.
This sort of speech is not acceptable- not when the KKK does it, or the fundi preachers or even those evil vegan terrorists.
I suggest aiming your complaints against the advocation of hate and violence and not Glen Beck himself.
He'll go down either way.
Awwww, widdle Glenn's afraid of brown people. Look out, Glenn! Brown people are coming! And... and... and they... they TALK FUNNY! AHHHHHHHH!
What a pussy.
Haters are such fucking chickenshit cowards.
Glenn Beck listeners have an IQ of 40,or lower.
Is anymore proof needed that Beck is nothing more than a mentally sick, home-grown Nazi, the type that got us into that completely illegal mess in Iraq and has been methodically trying to destroy our constitution, word by word for the past 7 1/2 years.
If Glenn Bleck was President of the United States, I would use every means nessisary to put a bullet in his head. I would rather have non-effective or minimally effective terrorists running around the world than have 10 seconds of that fucktard as President.
Seriously Glenn, don't EVER run for President. I like my life too much to have to become a martyr for this country.
Beck is a tool.
What he's overlooking is the number of detainees who are INNOCENT. Not so much picked up on the battlefield as brought in by Afghan and Pakistani bounty hunters interested in making a few bucks.
What's sick is our government knows it. They've determined over half have nothing to do Al Qaeda and are guilty of nothing but bad luck.
Yet, they won't make amends and repatriate them.
Then there are the detainees whose confessions are of zero value. They were given under duress and there's nothing to corroborate them. So a military commission is supposed to find them guilty based on a forced confession. Give me a frigging break.
I would rather they be sent home and if we fight them later, so be it. We'll never know if they were radicals before or after Gitmo.
Why does CNN keep Beck on?
I'd say Glenn Beck is a FREAK. But that would be an insult to FREAKS.
the only thing these people learn from is if you hit their pocket book. start a campaign for all Glenn Beck and CNN advertisers.
then we'll see some action.

I tried commenting for the first time to a major cable TV show, and the thing fucked up. Anyways, I'm too busy to redo it. This is what I said:
I can't believe I just heard Glenn Beck say that since the Supreme Court
ruled that detainees at Guantanamo have habeas corpus rights, in the future
we should just kill all prisoners at gunpoint. This man is not a crypto
fascist, he is a fascist. I realize that the comments were made on his
radio show, and not on his CNN show. People like Glenn Beck are the reason
that I gave up paying for cable or satellite TV long ago. I won't fund
monsters like this. Screw you!
Sheeesh - just let these guys talk. LOL
Glenn Beck will not be fired.
1- He's said worse.
2- No one watches that ratings pit of a show.
3- Most Americans agree with him. The "kill em all" is an appeal to emotion, not reason. And most of us have that reaction first, then fight against our lizard brains, and try to be more pragmatic.
But the instant gut reaction from most people on 9-11 was "kill the motherfuckers that did this!" It wasn't my first thought, but I can understand.
Be honest with yourselves. When you hear a heart wrenching story about some pedophile freak raping children, your first thought is that you want the guy to be beaten to a pulp. Granted, that's not what you say, nor is it your final position...but...lizard brains.
PS- I am not agreeing with Glenn Beck at all. He's an emotional ignorant idiot that just spews what most 14 year old boys would immediately say.
Beck is a bootlicking traitor, like his traitor masters, and they all hate America, its people, and everything the Constitution stands for. They should be subjected to the lynch-mob gangster "justice" they advocate for the victims of this government's atrocities.
Once again, ALL these tortured prisoners are innocent persons under our LAW, if anybody remembers this, nor have the majority been charged with any crimes, or proven guilty of anything at all in a legitimate court.
That a thing like Beck is given a TV platform, much less any credibility on any subject, is a testiment to the utter depravity of the MSM & its morally bankrupt audience.
Rasta, where did you get that list? I will put it on the Fire Beck site.

Barry @ 8:
Because NBC has a slightly more integrity than CNN? Or because Beck has one hell of a contract? Who knows?
Wow Glen, just like the Nazis and Bolsheviks did it.
On that note, I recently saw a documentary on the Balkan wars of the '90's. Various school teachers, police chiefs, doctors, mayors, etc. forming death squads and shooting their neighbors.
Glen, you would fit right in.
In light of all the comments advocating boycotting the advertisers, I think it's time for all of you to just cancel your subscriptions to Cable TV or Direct TV or Satellite TV or whatever. I used to live with my brother, who paid $110 a month for that shit and his cable bill just goes up and up, and he constantly gets bad service (the video will fuck up, and he'll call the cable company, and everytime, they just send someone out to replace his cable box. And then the problems return). When I moved out I never bothered to subscribe to Cable TV. All I have is the internet. Well, with net neutrality at stake that might not be so great in the future.
There are a lot of things that I know I would enjoy on Cable. John Stewart, Stephen Colbert, the Discovery and Science type channels.
But fuck it! Give it up! I assume that money goes to pay the salaries of Beck and O'Reilly. Cable TV is doing more harm than good. Everything you want to know you can learn on the internet or in books! You don't need flashy graphics to appreciate science or technology! TV is dumbing down America in general. Join my revolution!
Contacting advertisers to politely ask them if they endorse this kind of thing really has an effect sometimes. I urge everyone to do it, which is why I set up the site http://got.to/firebeck to help people.
It's pretty obvious that Bush totally agrees with Beck, he just can't say so publically. Wouldn't be politically prudent.
WCW @ 68:
I don't think they'll listen.
You might not realize it, but GM had some business dealings with Nazi Germany during world War II. So, you're basically telling a business that has supported fascist and murderous regimes in the past that someone who supports their ideas is a bad guy.
They're going to ignore you. That's the sick truth.

My letter to CNN:
I was shocked to hear that Glenn Beck is advocating that we conduct mass executions of Guantanamo Bay prisoners without trials. In justifying his repulsive proposal, he claims that the Supreme Court will force the government to release all of the Gitmo prisoners. Clearly that is not the case; they merely reinstated habeus corpus which forces the government to prove they have legitimate reasons for incarcerating the prisoners there.
Evidently, Beck must not understand habeus corpus. I would invite him to read Article 1, Section 9 of the United States Constitution -- a document which, like the Geneva Conventions, the Administration and its supporters like Mr. Beck, evidently consider to be "rendered quaint" by their War on Terror(tm).
But Beck doesn't stop at just criticizing the Supreme Court's decision. He actually advocates mass execution all of the prisoners.
I ask you, person in charge of sifting through all of the comments from the CNN.com feedback form, do Mr. Beck's comments not offend you to your very core? Is the "Most Trusted Name in News" now advocating, or at least lending credence to the thought that the United States of America -- the land of the free and a nation of laws, not men -- conduct mass executions of prisoners who have been denied access to a trial and even to legal counsel?
I implore you: Mr. Beck deserves, at the very least, a harsh and public reprimand. If CNN does not deem these comments worthy of any response, then I can only conclude that your network takes no major issue with mass prisoner executions.
Could this be the same Glen Beck who wants us all to know that he is a devout Mormon? That he is 100% American? Yet, the concept of taking a human life means nothing to him, nor Constitutional protections such as innocence until proven guilty in a court of law.
I think both concepts get trumped when a guy like Beck has an opportunity to make a lot of money pandering to the far right.
Most of the CNN crew are less than competent. Lou Dobbs and Glenn Beck are dangerous, moronic demagogues, who, under populist guise, would sell our nation's soul to Satan if they could get a solution for whatever peevish little rant has their panties in an uproar today. I don't even bother changing channels anymore: the tube goes off the second I hear either of their voices.
That said, I appreciate that there are folks like you out here in Left Blogostan. You're like a functional FDA: you taste all the rotten food for thought so we don't have to, then issue safety alerts. It's got to be one of the most unpleasant jobs on the planet. I can only imagine what severe mental salmonella poisoning is like: bouts of cerebral vomiting and diarrhea, with the risk of serious complications or even death from cephalic dehydration. I just want to say "thanks!" for reviewing this excrement so I don't have to.
People like the crazy Glenn Beck because he validates
the crazy far right that is in the majority. Every one of
Beck's followers have the ass of a baboon. This is information
that was cold for years but it's warmed up & ready to roll. :-)
What amazes me is that those with this line of thinking consider all "those brown" countries so primitive and devoid of rights....but then advocate mass executions without trials. Where they make the distinction I'll never know.
This kind of talk Beck issues these days is what I like to call conservative sour grapes. Since 2006 they've seen the writing on the wall regarding their message and the end is coming ever nearer for them. These hateful statements are their last gasp before their final few swirls in the toilet reach the bottom.
Glenn Beck is disgusting bigot... no surprises there.
Jay Severin Has A Small Pen1s @ 13:
If beck were put in that position, he would wet his pants so fast a flood watch would be issued.
OOOHHHHKKKAAAYYY, Glen has been hitting the bottle again I see.
When I attempted to submit a letter of complaint to CNN at the link provided, I got an error page. Is CNN not taking negative comments?
Glenn Beck is exactly on point in one respect. Every one of those Gitmo detainees need to get their ass hauled before a military tribunal for a speedy trial. The ones who are exonerated should be released immediately. Those found guilty should be summarily executed. That is the only sound and sane way to deal with terrorist suspects. To that extent...Mr. Beck speaks for 90% of the American public.
.
Hitler had private courts designed to convict people and hang them on the spot.
How is what Glenn Beck any different than Hitler's plan of Justice?

orcas @ 116:
What a ridiculous statement...There is no way 90% of Americans believe that.The American gov't offered rewards for terrorist suspects in the middle east. The Red Cross estimates that 40% of the detainees may be not guilty of anything terrorist related and were just caught up or given up from people with a vengeance, or people looking to make some money. Think about it, if you lived in a place that you made $2,000/year and someone came up to you and offered, 1,000 usd for the capture of a terrorist in this area, you would want that money so bad you'd make up a story about the first person that came to your mind that you dislike the most. You can never have a system of seeking out bad guys by giving out money as a reward because the entire system becomes flawed and impossible to guarantee the people in custody actually committed any terrorist act. You then torture these people, and get false testimony because they will say anything to not die and then you have the worst kind of system of law and justice that's possible. That is so unamerican and so against the entire bill of rights which were put in place to prevent these exact things from happening in the first place. Now the reality is that if there is 2,000 people in custody in Guantanamo, I'm not saying that they are all innocent but even if 10% were given up for revenge of some sort, or some religious (they are religious freaks remember) reason,or simply for the money, then that means 200 people are 100% completely innocent and have been ripped away from their family and entire existence for doing nothing wrong !! It is estimated that it is much higher than 10% being falsely imprisoned.
You know something is completely wrong with what the US Gov't is doing, when that very conservative supreme court is telling them they are wrong and going against the constitution. The most cherished document in America !! I know its only 5 to 4 but still, they know there is something fundamentally wrong with the way things are being done right now, I hope it changes for the better for everyone's sake. ..... Happy 4th of July Weekend, from a friendly Canadian neighbor from Vancouver BC.
I tried to tell CNN of my feelings about this, and I was directed right to their comment page. But when I sent it, the page read "Can not find". Do you think it refused to take my comment because I foolishly checked the "negative comment" box? If I get email from them, I'll know I was had!

Nonsense. Free speech is the best way to flush these turds out into the open and our best way to shoot down their vomitus.

Why doesn't he just transfer to Fox "News" with all of the other right wing tools?

Embittered & Anti-Republicrat - Max-Hussein-1 @ 117:
Hitler, if nothing else, was scary. Beck is pathetic.
That's the twisted, trigger-happy mind of a neo-fascist you just heard, ladies and gentlemen. Remember the "final-solution" for the Nazi Party? Beck is no different. He wishes there were no due process, and that any suspected enemies of the state, real or imagined, could simply be put to death in a simple, single gunshot wound to the head. Very antiseptic form of extermination when you think about it.
Glenn Beck, that dry-drunk of a fascist, ought to hope America never comes to this. This is madness that he advocates, and those who have stated he'd be nice and comfy if he were living in 1930's 3rd Reich are absolutely correct.
I wonder if we overloaded CNN's page. I typed out a great anti-Glenn Beck post, hit send, and got a CNN.com error saying the page had been removed.
Embittered & Anti-Republicrat - Max-Hussein-1 @ 117:
Congratulations. You have just invoked Goodwin's Law.
Can someone please explain to me how this man still has a job? A former drug addict and alcoholic turns into a dumbass making bigoted statements and saying stupid things.
CNN is a joke.
I have listened to Glenn Beck and he truly is a pathetic little Fascist moron. I can't believe that this mental midget has the 3rd most popular radio program in the country. (Kind of a sad statement about America isn't it?)
What gets me more than anything is that he portrays himself as a devout Christian---a Mormon to be exact. He babbles about how immoral our society is and how terrible it is that women can abort their babies and that gays are getting "special rights", blahh blahh, blahh. He has all the Right-wing hot button topics down pat. But then he turns around and advocates torturing people, going to war for oil, tax cuts for the rich and cutting all social welfare programs. Not very "Christian" if you ask me. And now he advocates murdering the detainees just so we won't have to go to the trouble of putting them on trial. How nice. What a miserable little hypocrite he is! But then, he is a corporate whore so what else can you expect? He is dangerous in that he--along with Rush and Hannity--would lead us down the road to total fascism if they had their way. And too many people are drinking the Kool Aid. It is sickening to listen to his fans call in and fawn all over him and tell him what a wise & wonderful person he is. It just shows me that we have far too many Right-wing nuts in this country.
And once again, Glenn Beck jumps to conclusions and misses the point entirely. As if having the constitutional rights of habeus corpus means that our justice system has to let everyone go free. It should be painful to be that stupid.

marko @ 24:
Why should one outrage (a lie-based war) mean that people shouldn't be outraged about another outrage (torturing people in jail for years with no attorney and no real evidence against most of them)?
I don't get why you aren't outraged. You seem to think both actions are wrong, yet you seem to just shrug about it.
Chas H @ 113:
and if he actually killed a muslim like that he would be hunted down like a dog by the Islamofascists. That sounds good to me.
What's the problem? As long as you think like Glenn Beck, and you are a white mormon, you have nothing to worry about.
WOW! This Beck jack-off is one sick puppy! Why doesn't CNN just give Charles Manson a show too! WTF?
QuakerDave @ 19:
You answered your own question.
Here's what I wrote to CNN:
Glen Beck seems to be some kind of dinosaur conservative rant-master. He now advocates summary executions for "people who are against America." Is he nuts? Is CNN nuts for having this guy on the air? CNN please fire this x-alchy mormo-fascist, and do it now before your network simply dies of embarassment. That could happen, you know! Oh yeah, I loved it when he was on with Jeff Foxworthy, and he told about how he was teaching his son the ten commandments, presumably also that one about not killing. Oh yeah, that one! In short, what an a**hole. And he's on your network! How do you 'splain that fact to anyone with half a brain, for gawd's sake?
Didn't you hear? Bush revoked Godwin's Law with a signing statement and a quick purge of the DoJ. Oh, sorry, you said Goodwin's Law. What's that?
I got to the CNN page and left a long comment - but the submit button took me to a 'page not found' page - is it because I live in Australia?
Glenn Beck is right. Constitutional legality can be a bitch when what you want to do is kill, torture, and silence.
Why doesn´t some media in the USA concentrate on what those idiot right wingers are really saying about the US legal system? "They are going to USE our legal system to get out..." The legal system is about enforcing justice, not about letting guilty people off the hook. Everyone talks about the justice system as a tool, as if someone is "home safe" if he gets treated by the courts.
This is about justice! Everyone has the right to habeas corpus, everyone has the right to a fair trial.
Glenn Beck is an idiot obviously, but for chrissake... someone over there, get the discussion on the right track. The world thinks more and more of the USA as United Stupdity of America if anything.
Bananaphone @ 129:
Amen.
Somebody put a bullet in his head. Not that it would do any damage 'cause there is nothing but shit up there, but when it spills out we can say "We told ya so!"
If I had the misfortune of talking with Glenn Beck, I would ask him the following. Mr. Beck, what about the innocent people victims of mistaken identity, or who were turned over to American forces for no other reason than to collect a bounty? Will there be criminal investigations if your bloodlust for killing has the effect of turning whole villages into Free Fire Zones? Would you cry, or ask God for forgiveness if your hateful words caused children, women, and old men to be killed? What if you were overseas, and another nation designated you a enemy combatant, or a terrorist? Would YOU be OK with being shot in the head, without a trial? How much blood, death, & killing is enough for you? Your a sick bastard, Mr. Beck, and a war criminal even if your not personally the one who pulls the trigger.
RepubAnon @ 5:
Uh, yes I can say "lynch mob mentality". I believe that's what we're all commenting on: Glenn Beck's idea that if the law requires that prisoners be accorded some rights and some semblance of due process, we should just shoot them in the head. That, my irony-challenged Republican friend, is what is known as "lynching".
I hate to defend an idiot like Beck, but I don't think the "shoot in the head" comment refers to the Gitmo folks. It refers to the future policy of killing people instead of taking them prisoner. Equally vile, and illegal, of course, but not what you're implying here.
Was at the movie theatre this weekend & saw an advert for an upcoming video "concert" by this douche. Having to actually pay money to sit thru this a-hole ...words cannot express...
orcas @ 116:
If they are executed after a trial, then the executions are not "summary." See definition four here.
/schoolmarm
I used the link to leave a comment/complaint with CNN but when I clicked on the submit button, it took me to a page that said that page doesn't exist anymore.
I have seen as much evidence that Beck is a terrorist as he has seen that any particular Gitmo detainee is a terrorist.
When we let them out, they kill more people (http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2005/10/ex-gitmo-detainee-involved-in-... ) and you idiots want to give them rights! You psychos will destroy this country! I say we line them all up in front of a firing squad!
You idiot liberals think people that want to slash your throat deserve rights. I say we let them all out and murder all the liberals.
We should let them all out, releasing them into various progressive communities across America. Forward thinking progressives like us would welcome in these victims of American imperialism.
