Applesauce
Pat Cunningham offers an unabashedly liberal perspective on national politics. A note of caution: The language gets a litttle salty on some of the sites to which this blog links. So, don’t say you weren’t warned. By the way, this blog’s name is inspired by the Will Rogers quote, “All politics is applesauce.”

Glenn Beck gives affirmative nod to guest who wants Osama bin Laden to attack America again

 Just when I think guys like this can’t get any nuttier, they PROVE ME WRONG.

 Imagine the kind of howls we would hear if some liberal TV host played patty-cake with a guest who said he wants Osama bin Laden “to deploy and detonate a major weapon in the United States.”

 UPDATE: Speaking of Osama bin Laden, The New Yorker SAYS he visited America for a few weeks in 1979.

 UPDATE II: Several of our Applesauce commenters want us to believe that Glenn Beck disagreed with, or somehow disowned, Michael Scheuer’s stated wish for another terrorist attack on America.

 But that’s not what happened.

 Scheuer said that “only Osama can execute an attack which will force Americans to demand that their government protect them effectively, consistently, and with as much violence as necessary.”

 Beck’s immediate response was this: “Which is why, I was thinking this weekend, if I were him, that would be the last thing I would do right now.”

 Beck wasn’t disagreeing with Scheuer. Quite the opposite. He was merely saying that Osama would be a fool to arouse the kind of American anger that Scheuer said would follow another attack. That’s why he said “if I were him.”

 Watch it for yourself:

    I was wondering if Pat was going to suckered into this spinning liberal vortex of hate by linking this bull**** story, and lo and behold, I was right.

    Here is the actual video:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auQJVhNH99c

    Now, skip to the last 10 seconds. Beck (roughly) states “If he were Osama bin Laden attacking America is the last thing I would do right now.”

    In order words, you ignorant Socialists, Beck is >b>NOT calling for an attack. In fact, he is condemning it. Perhaps his loony guest speaker is, but no one really cares about him.

    Neftali you beat to the punch. This is slander. If want the real video go to Foxnews.com Glen Beck. Pat you may have Orlando that’s thinks every thing you say it true but not the smart ones. Newsweek should be news dump

    I agree with the 2 comments above. You are so wrong its sad. I like Glenn Beck because of his common sense thinking which is completely gone in the US government these days. Why don’t you listen to his show sometime - you’ll learn what is really going on. Glenn Beck is NOT calling for an attack. Quite frankly, he wants the complete opposite. WAKE UP America before its too late. For those of you that voted for Obaman - you wanted change and you’re really getting it now….
    He is lying to your face daily but you can’t see it. Just wait - you will regret he is in office and completing destroying this great country. Again, watch his show - you learn the real truth.

    We don’t have to have a terrorist attack this country. Our curret leadership is leading us downhill rapidly.
    It was Osama that said electing Obama president that help his causes.

    Huge Beck supporter, no wonder he has the largest folloing at his time slot.

    America did wake up, Sparky — last November, when the American electorate solidly repudiated your failed conservative ideology. I typically refrain from using all caps, but how many times do you Cons have to be schooled: YOUR TWISTED IDEOLOGY IS THE REASON OUR COUNTRY IS IN THE MESS IT’S IN! You guys gave Bush two terms to show us the beauty of conservatism, and it turned into a horrific nightmare. Bush not only destroyed your party, he nearly took the country with him.

    And, despite all the misery of the past 8 years, you really expect Americans to continue to elect your guys and allow you to inflict even more damage upon our country? As I’ve said before, if nothing else, I have give you Cons plenty of credit for trying to make the absurd sound reasonable.

    Yes, I got all the change I voted for last November. Regardless of your whining, we’re going to fix what you Cons nearly destroyed.

    Orlando - This country was doing just fine until liberals took control over Congress. That’s when the country started going downhill.

  • 7. Billybeermonicagar  |  July 1st, 2009 at 7:23 pm

    Barney Frank–the spokesperson for orlando’s party. Study his body of work. He has done amazing things for our country!

    Orlando said:

    BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH GEORGE BUSH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH SPARKY SPARKY SPARKY TOOTI FRUITI SPARKY SPARKY SPARKY BLAH BLAH BLAH GEORGE BUSH DICK CHENEY BUSH BLA BLAH BLAH BLAH
    BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH GEORGE BUSH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH SPARKY SPARKY SPARKY TOOTI FRUITI SPARKY SPARKY SPARKY BLAH BLAH BLAH GEORGE BUSH DICK CHENEY BUSH BLA BLAH BLAH BLAH

    Orlando doen’t have a real job so he can’t tell how many MORE people were working and how profitable our companies WERE in the last 8 years.

    BLAH BLAH BLAH S P A R K Y !!!!!

    Orlando must be one of are fine America on State Aid and doesn’t pay any taxes.

    Osama isn’t going to attack this country and Beck knows it. Osama is in one of Beck’s FEMA camps. Come on everyone knows that.

    Pat if you are trying to show the Video please show the 6min and 27 seconds of it. You are a true Lib. only giving us half the truth. You have to watch the hole thing to understand it.

    Realfoxnews, I wonder if Orlando and Pat have seen this?

    Fox News Channel has the Top 10 shows on Cable news.

    Sucks when stuff gets taken out of context and wrongly interpreted, huh, Cons?

  • 14. realfoxnews  |  July 2nd, 2009 at 10:41 am

    Richard Orlando will come back and say Overbite is gaining ground. Pat you can’t tell you nothing he was that way when was in school At Freeport Aquin. He said you spent a lot of time in the restroom he has no room to talk.

    Anyone who thinks a terrorist attack is what it’s going to take to “wake America up”, let alone call for it, needs to be taken off of all media.

    How is the loss of countless innocent American lives the “Wake up call” that we need?

    There are things that this administration needs to see for what they are (like Iran), and they’re coming around (albeit hopefully not too late).
