Beck: Supporters of Dems' Iraq bill "will be just as responsible" for troop deaths as suicide bombers

On the March 8 edition of his CNN Headline News program, Glenn Beck issued the following warning to members of Congress who support the Democratic leaders' plan to set a date certain for U.S. withdrawal from Iraq: "If your bill goes through, I hope you can't go to bed any single night without the images of body bags of our American soldiers coming off those planes. I hope they dance in your head every single night, because you will be just as responsible for their deaths as anyone who has ever strapped a bomb to their chest and screamed, 'Allah Akbar.' "

From the March 8 edition of CNN Headline News' Glenn Beck:

BECK: The blood of our troops will be on the hands of Congress soon. Here's how I got there. The Democratic Party leaders are proposing a new bill, which calls for bringing the troops home from Iraq by early next year, then removing whatever troops remain by October 2008.

<...>

BECK: Here's what I don't know. How do these people in Congress, Democrats and Republicans, who want to have it both ways, how do you sleep at night? How do you do it?

If your bill goes through, I hope you can't go to bed any single night without the images of body bags of our American soldiers coming off those planes. I hope they dance in your head every single night, because you will be just as responsible for their deaths as anyone who has ever strapped a bomb to their chest and screamed, "Allah Akbar."

1. Ron_Green: Beck "as responsible" for the death of the Republic as welfare moms

2. The less people listen to these wingnut personalities,

the more they ratchet up their rhetoric in a desperate grab for attention and relevance. Witness Ann-the-Man Coulter. They are all jumping the shark.

3. Aren't those the images they are trying to stop now?

His statement does not make any sense....

4. glen-you are never to old to join up

ya glen go over there and shoot yourself some brown people

5. by that logic, Bush is the biggest terrorist of them all

he is responsible for more deaths than bin Laden

[gatorboy]

6. I'd say Daddy Bush and Raygun edge out junior.

After all, they're the ones that created this Middle Eastern mess in the first place.

9. yeah, true, but that would require a solid grasp of causality

which Republicans like Beck simply don't have. LOL

7. actually, supporters of the Glenn Beck types are the most repsonsible

8. Glen goes to sleep with visions of sugarplums

10. Hey look! Another pasty, fat white man is trying to be Lush Rimbaugh

Beck is just another barking dog in the extremist right wing kennel. Good dog! Fetch the stick!

[Old and In the Way]

11. What's Beck's solution?

Shut up and let the troops die for the greater glory of the Republican Party? People like Beck who make this charge have to be asked what their level of acceptable deaths are in this disaster.
