Glenn Beck guest said the strangest thing today on the radio program...Anyone else hear this?

[YellowRubberDuckie]

He's always going on and about nuclear war and the Apocalypse, but today, he had a caller. They were talking about how the caller's daughter went to school with a bunch of Muslim kids. I'm not sure where the guy was from. Anyway, one of the kids told his daughter that they had been advised to get out of the US as soon as possible, even if it means leaving all their possessions behind. Apparently, there are basically some terrible things coming our way, and they need to be out of harm's way. I don't think I'm buying this stuff, but it's scary as hell.
Actually, I called Skip, my husband, today, a little freaked out. Glenn Beck is a fear monger, and while I know he's full of shit, this shit brings back the fear I had in the 80s after I watched The Day After.

1. Consider the source.

I'd be more likely to believe this story if it turned up in a supermarket tabloid.

[muntrv]

2. Glen Beck is full of shit.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

4. As i said...

But still...it brings back childhood fears of frying in a nuclear holocaust.

3. Eh. I feel like I've heard rumors like this for years, though.

I don't think "a bunch of Muslim kids" are going to have the inside dirt, I really don't.

Now, if they actually did leave, that would be something else.

[tom_paine]

5. Anecdotal and third-hand "evidence" is not evidence at all

I wouldn't be too concerned just yet...

[Ellis Wyatt]

6. Glenn Beck could announce my wedding and I wouldn't listen

n/t

[Junkdrawer]

7. In my best Tommy Lee Jones "Men in Black" voice...

"Did he mention when?"

[lpbk2713]

8. Have you seen the new GOP logo?

They don't have much left in their bag of tricks so they thought they
would try this.

[Fridays Child]

9. Somebody's lying, and I'm not even sure that kind of speech is protected.

It's a lot like yelling "fire" in a crowded theater.

Edited to add that, if this were genuine, the FBI would be all over Beck to get the phone records, and we'd definitely be hearing more about it.

10. There was one alleged incident in NYC

involving a Pakistani child at a school across from the WTC. Apparently he pointed to the WTC and told either the teacher or other students that it would be gone soon.

But most likely, I'm going to agree and say that Glen Beck is full of shit and his callers probably are too.

11. A man is going to explode.

And Hiro is looking for a sword.

[Lerkfish]

16. save the cheerleader...save the world

:)

hiro is my FAVORITE!

[zbdent]

21. Why's chocolate syrup coming out of my nose?

[SemiCharmedQuark]

26. LOL!

Ahhh, beautiful. Hiro is awesome.

[mattclearing]

12. The eagle flies at dawn!

:P

[Marie26]

13. Beck told his loyal listeners

that the US will start locking up Muslims in internment camps unless they "change their attitude." It's probably just a suggestible listener who is looking (hoping?) for some indication the US is doing just that.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

28. And you wonder why some Muslim kids

would have said they needed to move? (I think the "right away" and "leave everything behind" is baloney, and embellished upon a possible conversation between Muslim-American kids and American kids)

[MrSlayer]

14. The best thing you can do is not listen to that asshole.

He's a true major league douchebag. A scumbag of the highest order.

[whistle]

15. You heard this on the Glen Beck show, consider the host and the source

....Glen Beck is full of sheite!

[YellowRubberDuckie]

24. He is full of shit...

But as I stated above, some childhood fears never go away.

17. Wasn't the 20th of august supposed to be the day?

Yeah, a nation which might have a nuclear weapon is going to magically get an arsenal large enough to destroy America. That makes a hell of a lot sense to me.
:eyes:

[Karenina]

18. I wish TRUE AMERICANS

would snatch the "bullhorn" from his hands... That is, of course, unless, he truly represents you. Freedom of speeech and all that. As long as those such as he have such a high profile, we in the ROTW can only assume that he speaks for you.

[nam78_two]

19. I agree-Glenn Beck should get out of the country and if possible off the planet too

asap...
I support this line of action for Glenn...

The only thing is, I cannot think of place that deserves to have that scourage descend on it :shrug:...

What a transparent moran -his staffers probably put the "call" through :eyes:

[B Calm]

20. Right-Wing Republican terrorists are likely to do anything...

[Booster]

22. Did his daughter's Muslim friends explain why they are still here?

[Malikshah]

23. Question: Why listen to Glenn Beck? The old "know one's enemy"

bit just doesn't wash anymore.

Know that what comes out of his mouth is propaganda.

Fear is an insidious trait that he uses to keep folks who listen to him keep listening.

It's an abusive relationship. Leave it and all is well.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

25. There's not really much of another choice.

I like listening to talk radio at work, and he's about the only one to listen to.
Duckie

[PADemD]

29. Try NPR

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

27. Well, nobody told ME

nor any of my Sufi brothers and sisters....but I could see where a comment was garbled and twisted around. Many Muslim-American immigrants no longer feel welcome or safe here--could be that the "harm" being talked about is the harm caused by rwing religious intolerance.

[The Gunslinger]

30. My advice..

Dont listen to him.

[DoYouEverWonder]

31. This is the same crap they tried to pull in 2003

The Coming Strike? The Anatomy of a Terrorist Hoax

Seems someone tries to restart this rumor at least once a year since. This is about the third time I've heard it in the last 2 months.

[Bad Penny]

32. what a shithead this guy is
