Just because he's right doesn't mean he isn't a moron.
Over the weekend, Glenn Beck announced on his CNN show that waterboarding is a "Conservative issue" in the same way that he says environmentalism and renewable energy are Liberal issues. In other words: important and worthy of support.
It was durring an interview with some pinhead who wrote a book called Liberal Fascism. They started talking about NBC's "Green Week" from last season, and how it proves liberals are fascists because NBC is part of the liberal media and "green propoganda" is what the government wanted NBC to publish. If you can't bear to watch the whole segment, the money shot is at 7:40 or so. video here. Here's the transcript:
This would have been decried from the highest mountaintop if I would have done it for some cause I cared about, or if the FOX Network...decided to take on some Conservative thing like waterboarding--Its waterboarding week! And it's the same kind of thing. There are people who believe in it and people who don't believe in it.
Well, fuck, its just like the difference between Coke and Pepsi, then.
