On 9/11, Beck tries out new conspiracy theory: ACORN, Van Jones to blame for Katrina?
Glenn Beck is becoming increasingly known for his wide-ranging conspiracy theories, some of which are so rambling and inconsistent many have trouble following his attempted logic.

On Sept. 11, 2009, he produced what may be his most confusing, conjecture-filled tirade yet. This time, he has somehow “connected” the dots, tying community organization ACORN, an international employees union, the City of New Orleans and former Obama green jobs director Van Jones into the Hurricane Katrina disaster.

One could even infer from Beck’s trailing, incoherent suggestions that he wants listeners to think ACORN and elements of the Obama administration are responsible for the complete lack of federal aide immediately after the storm: A scandal which will forever rest at the feet of the Bush administration.

In Beck’s view, ACORN and the Service Employees International Union must have been involved in local New Orleans corruption, though he presents no proof. Which, this of course means to GBeck that ACORN wanted to use Hurricane Katrina to destroy evidence of their hypothetical deeds, so they “hypothetically” used Van Jones to “get the word out that Bush hates black people.”
