Glenn Beck On 99ers: 'Some Of These People, I Bet You'd Be Ashamed To Call Them Americans' (VIDEO)
Unemployed activists have clamored for news attention to the plight of the "99ers," people who have exhausted the unprecedented 99 weeks of unemployment benefits made available in some states to fight the worst recession since the Great Depression.

They got some attention they might not have wanted on Monday, when Fox News host Glenn Beck introduced them to his viewers. "Have you heard of the 99ers?" said Beck, showing video from a New York rally last Thursday. "Some of these people, I bet you'd be ashamed to call them Americans."

Beck had free advice for the jobless activists at the protest: "Don't spend your remaining money on travel to get to a protest. Go out and get a job. You may not want the job. Work at McDonald's. Work two jobs. There has been plenty of times in my life I've done jobs I hated, but I had no choice. Two years is plenty of time to have lived off your neighbor's wallet."

I know who I'd like to put on the unemployment line. Beck I'm ashamed you are an American you messianic clown!
