Glenn Beck is known for two things related to the tragedy of 9/11 – 1) he stated that he hates 9/11 victims’ families and 2) used it to promote his 9/12 protest. Beck has now compared health care reform to 9/11. The following are a couple quotes from Beck about Osama bin Laden.

Here is Beck talking, recently, about Osama bin Laden:

BECK: In the 1990s, I was on the radio warning people about Osama bin Laden, not because I was some super-smart genius. I just listened to the man’s words. I really believed him. But that wasn’t the top of the priority list in America — no, no, no. We were dealing with the fat interns and the definition of is, and I like the rest of America went back to sleep on the terrorist threat.

Here was Beck talking about Osama bin Laden in 1998:

BECK: Now, another newspaper in Pakistan says that it received a statement for the–from the spokesperson for Azma bin Ladin [sic]. Is that is name? Bin Ladin? Bin Ladeen? Bin jelly bean, green bean, Mr. Clean? I love him. He’s hot. He says he’s ready for war with the U.S. Oh yes? Thank you Mr. Baked Bean.

A respected newspaper quotes the statement as follows: “The war has just started, and Americans should wait for the answer.” Now, Mr. Ozma Dig-my-scene, I don’t even know what the question was! Was the question “is my turban on too tight?” Yes! I think it is. The blood’s not pumping around the whole brain. Loosen the turban, Mr. Clean, dig my scene. Oh yes, let’s look at the latrine.

Wow, wasn’t that prophetic…

This is hillarious… As you probably know, the claims by the likes of Glenn Beck, Michelle Malkin, etc. are wildly exagerated. Heck, Glenn Beck didn’t even attend the event he promoted, but that didn’t stop him from claiming that “it is the largest march on Washington ever.”

This may be the easiest way to explain it…

• Glenn Beck claimed that the LondonTelegraph “quote[d] a source from the Park Service, the National Park Service, saying that it is the largest march on Washington ever.”
• National Park Service spokesman “Dan Bana” supposedly said the 9/12 protest was ”the largest event held in Washington, D.C., ever.”
• David Barna (who, unlike Dan Bana, appears to be a real person) said the agency did not conduct its own count. Instead, it will use a Washington Post account that said 1.8 million people gathered on the US Capitol grounds, National Mall, and parade route.
• Unfortunately, as Little Green Footballs pointed out, that quote was actually about the inauguration in January. The National Park Service spokesman was talking about Barack Obama’s inauguration.
• Imaginary ABC News reports, unnamed universities, invented quotes, and for safe keeping, the journalistic equivalent of “I heard this one dude say.”
• Pam Geller cited Thomas Lifson at American “Thinker,” who also calls him “Dan Bana.” (Lifson doesn’t feel the need to provide a link for his outlandish crowd estimates)
• From Pam Geller: “A 9-12 participant in DC claims to have overheard DC police discussing the crowd numbers. They put the numbers at over 2 million”
• Yes, she cited someone who “claims to have overheard DC police discussing the crowd numbers.”

The picture below, showing another protest sign is actually from a post at Democratic Underground showing the filth left behind after the filth left the 9/12 protest area(s). I’m not sure why “THANK YOU” and “VETERANS” are in quotes, y’know, those evil quote signs Glenn Beck uses… Are they not really thankful, or are they thanking fake veterans? And, notice how Glenn Beck is misspelled? Classic.

Take a look at the picture again & see if you can find something else wrong… Here’s a hint: it’s red, white and blue, has some stars and stripes and was mistreated by a so-called patriot. It’s probably a safe bet that the person carrying this has called someone a socialist and told them to get out of our country…

Glenn Beck is promoting, politicizing and capitalizing on the deaths of thousands of Americans on September 11, 2001 with an upcoming event dubbed the 9/12 Project. Originally planned as a day of patriotism and unity, like that found after the terrorist attacks on 9/11, the so-called “grassroots” style events promoted by Glenn Beck have become anything but. Not only are the events now promoted as an outright attack on the Obama Administration, but it’s also come to light that it’s not a true grassroots movement at all.

The web site for the event, 912dc.org, is owned by FreedomWorks, led by former corporate lobbyist and Republican Majority Leader Dick Armey (R-TX). FreedomWorks is providing the funding and organization that makes this event possible, while Glenn Beck provides the promotion. You’ll notice many names similar to those found associated with the Tea Party astroturfing.

– Gold Sponsor Tea Party Patriots is a website run by FreedomWorks staffers. When Tea Party Patriots list serv members objected to the 9/12 march symbol, they were rebuffed and told that all final decisions were made by FreedomWorks.

– Gold Sponsor Our Country Deserves Better is a Republican PAC that also operates the Tea Party Express, a bus tour arriving in DC for the 9/12 march. Our Country Deserves Better/Tea Party Express, which has ran an advertisement comparing Obama to Hitler, is managed by the GOP consulting firm Russo, Marsh & Rogers.

– Bronze Sponsors The Heartland Institute and the Competitive Enterprise Institute are phony think-tanks dedicated to churning out academic-appearing reports to discredit global warming. Like FreedomWorks, both organizations are funded by David and Charles Koch of the Koch Industries oil empire, one of the largest privately held companies in the world.

– Bronze Sponsor American Conservative Union is run by David Keene, a lobbyist for a firm that represents private health care companies, including the insurer HealthFirst.

– Bronze Sponsor The Senate Conservatives Fund is a Republican Party PAC run by Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC).

Other sponsors include The National Association for Rural Landowners, who made the case for a secession, followed by a violent civil war in a YouTube video; and FreeRepublic, a right wing forum that gave platform for the Holocaust museum shooter’s writings. Furthermore, as the tone has become more anti-government, several Republican politicians are scheduled to speak, including Rep. Tom Price (R-GA), Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN), Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-GA), and Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC).

Finally, take a look at what Glenn Beck thinks of 9/11 victim’s families:

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.
