What’s is highly troublesome is this: The way that Beck once again so casually uses the tragedy of 9/11, and the slaughter of nearly 3,000 Americans, as a simple prop, as a tool to gain new followers who will watch Glenn Beck’s show and buy Glenn Beck’s books and accumulate more of this kind of warped politcal influence for Glenn Beck in 2009. Because Beck wants nothing to do with the actual reality of 9/11 or 9/12; in fact, he is the only major American media figure to admit that he hates the survivors of the 9/11 victims, stating from a radio studio in my hometown of Philadelphia in September 2005 that “when I see a 9-11 victim family 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.” Rather than atone for that outrageous comment, Beck now compounds it by creating an entire project that uses the memory of 9/11 — and by extension the people who died that day — as the foundation for a site largely given over to hatred and bogus claims about the current president of the very nation, our nation, that was attacked eight years ago. How pathetic. Beck promised a project that would be dedicated to America’s “eternal principles” — but the only eternal principle that Glenn Beck really holds is “Glenn Beck. Will Bunch ☀
