Glenn Beck sheds crocodile tears for the same 9/11 widow he trashed back in 2005

[EraOfResponsibility]

Glenn Beck, on his Fox show this afernoon, did a really lovely encomium to Beverly Eckert, the 9/11 widow who was a victim of that horrible plane crash outside Buffalo yesterday. In fact, like most Beck productions, it was downright maudlin. But we had to applaud certain sentiments, such as when he lauded Eckert for her post-9/11 activism:

Beck: After the attacks, she became a vocal activist for families of 9/11 victims. She pushed for the 9/11 Commission. She demanded answers from the government, and helped win the passage of the Intelligence Reform law.

And of course, Beck looked very, very sincere delivering this.

How sincere was he?

Here's Glenn Beck on his radio show back in 2005:

Beck: You know, it took me about a year to start hating the 9/11 victims' families. It took me about a year. Um, and I had such compassion for them and I really, you know, I wanted to help them, and I was behind -- let's give them money, let's get them started, and all of this stuff. And I really didn't -- all the 3,000 victims' families, I don't hate all of them, I hate about, probably about ten of them. But when I see 9/11 victim family, you know, on television, or whatever, I'm just like, 'Oh, shut up.' I'm so sick of them. Because they're always complaining. And we did our best for them. And again, it's only about ten.

After that, of course, he went on to talk about how much he hated the Hurricane Katrina victims.

But America, look into his eyes! You can see how sincere he is!

2. I can barely stand to read his name! He is evil!

6. ClayZ, I am like you

in this regard. Even his name kind of makes me nauseated. Maybe he actually carries some sort of supernatural evil in his spirit. I can heard and read even the name Rush Limbaugh and not be so affected.

3. Mor(m)on freak

4. I wish the man's parents had used better birth control. Truly a worthless, hate-filled, piece of

trash. I hope he soon ends up on the other end of the hatred and anger he spouts.

Sorry, rant over...

5. Yep--he puts out some pretty bad karma--he'll probably get it back, in spades. nt

7. A user always uses.

Republicans like the Taliban have only one person on their mind at any one time themselves.

All others are to be used depending on the circumstance.

8. He is dangerously unhinged. I cant help but think he has some "issues" .
