CONFEDERACY OF DUNCES - Glenn Beck

THE TIN MAN OF HATE

Last week, on his Fox News Channel show, Glenn Beck outed an Islamic private school in Northern Virginia when the school's sole newsworthy trespass was that an application to expand its campus was approved by the local zoning board. But Beck went on an extended googly-eyed, sarcasmo rant (lots of "maybe it's just me") about the school being a de facto training camp for would-be terrorists, and even invoked September 11th imagery -- collapsed buildings and the like -- in the process.
It's a grade school ! You know, where large groups of children go for seven hours a day. And Beck risked stirring up the knee jerk vitriol of his itchy-trigger-fingered wing nut vigilante audience while also calling attention to the school's existence and general location, all because the school's zoning application was approved. Way to go Jackass.
If you want to worry about ' de facto training camps for would-be terrorists' , let's take a look at the homegrown terrorists in our own back yard.

CAUTION: You may lose sleep over some of these.

So why isn't Glenn Beck worried about outing these groups that pose more of a threat than an elementary school full of kids being taught a religion which at it's core teaches peace ?
Because they are his demographic.
Would he be appalled at the same demagoguery being directed at his kids' Mormon school and characterizing all Mormons as funny bearded polygamists who think the Garden Of Eden was in Missouri ?
If he wasn't, he would be something less than human - which I am not so sure he isn't.
