Glenn Beck's guest hopes Bin Ladin strikes U.S. again


A former C.I.A. analyst, who unbelievably is crazier than Glenn Beck (I'm seriously beginning to wonder about the C.I.A) tells Beck that, "The only chance we have as a country right now is for Osama bin Laden to deploy and detonate a major weapon in the United States. Because it’s gonna take a grass roots, bottom up pressure." Believe it or not, they were discussing the Mexican Border.

I got this story from a wonderful and very necessary blog called News Hounds. Their slogan 'We watch FOX so you don't have to' is very fitting, because disabusing people of the misinformation put out by that channel is a 24 hour job. In this particular article, News Hounds clears up the why and what of Obama's actions regarding Mexico, information you could not possibly glean from the FOX segment.

I don't believe FOX should be censored unless they break the law. But, lately, there are many instances that border on inciting violence, including in this clip. I hope the FBI is monitoring hosts like Beck, and that's unbelievable to say about a mainstream 'news' channel.

People often say that its important that the political viewpoints expressed on FOX be heard, but watch this clip and tell me the coherent political viewpoint that is put forth. I can't discern one.

Censoring them is wrong and won't work, however I do fully support barring them from using the word 'NEWS' in their title, if they are going to do factless fearmongering segments like this. What do you think?
