On CNN’s Reliable Sources lib commentater Bill Press again compared “political huckster” Glenn Beck to Al-Qaeda.
Disgusting.
Matt Lewis was right. The left hates conservatives more than Al-Qaeda.
It’s not even close.
NewsBusters has more on the disgraceful exchange.

Notice to Bill Presser: What part of Freedom of Speech do you not understand? Nobody “allows” speech at the Lincoln Memorial. You apply for a permit and it is granted, barring someone else getting their first.
SM-Illinois commented:
Bill Press, Eggbert, Letterman, Couric & the like are just bitter leftist has-beens. That’s why we have remotes—-click them off! Not worth listening to!
gus commented:
If Glenn Beck put a bullet in Bill Press’s pathetic head. Then he’d be like Al Qaeda.
LIBTARDS are diseased. Bill Press hates Conservatives because we threaten his power.

Conservative Ken commented:
Why even give these people a platform? I’m 45 and in all my years the press has not changed one bit. Does anyone still watch CNN?
Kenny Solomon commented:
This isn’t going to end well.
Granny commented:
HMMMM – I think TheWon is losing it! He is now losing his temper because 18% of us accept his word that he is muslim and another 40-something% refuse to comment: “I can’t spend my life with my birth certificate plastered on my forehead!”

What’s CNN?
Gman commented:
Imagine how bothered they are by the size of the crowds.
Granny commented:
Gman, I happened to come across the crowd estimates for the inauguration – supposedly the biggest EVAH – and guess who at the very least equaled it?
neomom commented:
Wow, Sarah Palin has a new partner, Glenn Beck. They pay no fiddler as they dance like Captain Von Trapp and Maria through the Skulls of libtards everywhere. Buy stock in Duct Tape manufacturers. The intelligencia will need to wrap there skulls to hold in the gelatinous mass the call brains (we call poop for brains). This is so much fun.
pjean commented:
I call this, implosion.
Subadar Lal Khukri commented:
Fear and loathing among the soon-to-be-displaced elites . . .
Else they run around with their thimbs in their ears screaming, “The tea party doesn’t exist!”
They have extensive experience with that regarding islamic terrorism.
wright commented:
I remember ol’ Bill on Crossfire on CNN some years back during the height of the Monica Lewinsky scandal. About a week before it was offered up in evidence, Press asked ponderously:
“And where is this infamous blue dress that we’ve all heard so much about?”
Clueless then, clueless now. Some things never change.
Subadar Lal Khukri commented:
Granny #7 and all,
“They” are going to behead 18% of us for insulting islam.
pjean commented:
Our St. Paul Pioneer Press in MN (a paper not known for a liberal slant) described the event as “planned” by Beck and Palin. This paper referenced the majority of whites in attendance, but conveniently ignored the address by Dr. Alveda King.
Ginger commented:
I got brave one day to find out for myself what kind of hate the people on channels other then Fox and I will never do it again! I never watch any news channel other then Fox or my local channel 2 news. Oh, my goodness… the vi tum coming out of those peoples mouths was unbelievable. You could see the veins in their necks pop out. The tone of their voices was awful. The guest were just as bad. This was msnbc, cnn, abc, cbs. I don;t know their names and I don’t want to learn their names. Awful, awful, bitter people!
gus commented:
Let’s review.
Glenn Beck should not be granted a permit??
WHY?
Glenn Beck is like Al Qaeda?
HOW
Then the blubbering fool says the Lincoln Memorial is SACRED GROUND.
Then why was it okay of Michael King a.k.a The Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Junior to speak there?
Why was HE O.K. to speak there nearly 50 years ago?
Folks. LIBTARDS hate us. They HATE US because we won’t let them RULE us.
gus commented:
ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND MAN MARCH was gleefully reported as COOL and GROOVY.
Glenn Beck is compared to TERRORISTS.
No bias.
Atlanta Media Guy commented:
The AP conveniently forgot about the address by Alveda King too. At least the AP story we saw here in Atlanta. It’s amazing to watch these dems freak out..
Just wait until November when they scream the conservatives are suppressing the vote, with video of senior citizens standing out front of precincts with canes and walkers in their hands. I can hear Bill Press now, “they seem so intimidating with those weapons in their hands!” Hey Bill shut your pie hole!
iconoclast commented:
Just so I understand this: Glenn Beck should be denied the permit to assemble at the Lincoln Memorial while the Victory Mosque must be granted a permit to build.
It seems that if this pompous fool really thought Glenn Beck was comparable to Al Qaeda, then he would be in favor of granting him the permit to assemble.
Historian commented:
Worse than al Qaeda?
Nah.
Blowing up dolls is nowhere near as bad as blowing up buildings.
Conservative Ken commented:
I’m still waiting for CNN to spin the Sharpton rally similar to the (almost) million man march.
Warning to all Liberals..
Tinfoil hats won’t stop the truth from getting in your politically dysfunctional brain.
dnb commented:
And where does Bill Press stand on ‘Parks51?’ Is that not considered sacred ground? Respect seems to need to run in one direction only for liberals.
Rock commented:
Not really familiar with Bill Press, but suspect he may be one of those sycophants that AP tried to credit Reverend Wright with saying while attacking the TEA Party. Last name sure fits, how appropriate.
StrangernFiction commented:
Hey Matt Lewis, Bill Press is not “good folks.”
To call a scumbag like Press “good” after making that despicable comparison says a whole lot about the uphill battle we have in front of us.
Oh yeah, Obama is obliterating this country, BUT he is a real good family man.
PATHETIC!!!!
pill commented:
Did he interview any of the 25 of us that were at the rally..25 in a 6ft square area..
Gringo commented:
The left hates conservatives more than Al-Qaeda. It’s not even close.
I have had that impression for quite a while. The left feels that the US is invulnerable. Therefore Al-Qaeda is a faux enemy.
The real enemies are domestic, according to the left.
Historian commented:
“The real enemies are domestic, according to the left.”
And Sharron Angle…
StrangernFiction commented:
This sh!t just amazes me. If Matt Lewis claims to be a conservative, which I’m almost sure he does, than what he is basically saying is that a guy who believes him to be worse than Al-Qaeda (according to Lewis’ own words), is “good.”
Now if that isn’t courage in your convictions, I don’t know what is.
carole commented:
Libtard? Please, people, can we find another term for brain-head liberals? I have an adult child who is mentally challenged. He’s a bit slow, but he’s not stupid, and he votes. His view of Obama “Mom, he lies on purpose.” Ah, through the eyes of a child.
girlsgonegop commented:
Turn off your televisions; put the elitists in the unemployment lines. Get your news from your favorite websites and radio shows. Take your family vacations in Arizona and the mid-West like we did this summer. Visit the ‘Gateway Arch’ and Museum of Westward Expansion in St. Louis, the unbelievable Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum and Library in Springfield, Ill., and the amazing national WWI Museum in Kansas City, Mo. You will be humbled; you will be stunned. You will know what greatness has preceded us, and feel a renewed responsibility for preserving this magnificent country. And tell your children every day that what they hear on TV and in the classroom is not necessarily truth.
Brooklyn commented:
It is so ugly…
It has to stop.
No more of the likes of Bill Press, Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama, etc., from having serious influence in this fine Nation.
They only know how to destroy, and we are all paying for the folly.
donh commented:
This is a command and control talking point. I saw it just now on CNN. Comparing Beck’s venue as showing the same ” insensitivity ” towrds blacks, as claimed over the mosque at ground zero. Glen Beck did not shoot MLK. MLK was not shot at the Lincoln memorial. Was Alveta King showing insensitivity to her uncle?
TKPedersen commented:
Pretty much proves a lost argument when your only response is to insult someone or something. And He didn’t even have sufficient vocabulary or organizational skills to at least send us to the dictionary to find out what he said. Clearly the Progressive-Liberals want to get the conversation away from the message of the Honor Rally onto their name-calling.
neomom commented:
Sorry Carole, I have a child with Aspergers, I should know better. How about Marxist Dirtbags? Put our children together and I am sure they could outperform some of the Marxist Dirtbags with the title congressman or senator. Apparently our children recognize the truth.
kato commented:
There was a brief time when journalism regarded itself as a profession with certain standards and responsibilities. Today the news as presented on television is the 24/7 huckster, with America’s biggest jackasses braying at one another for ratings and advertising.
Why would people who regard themselves as halfway intelligent waste a single minute watching this crap? Watch pornography instead: It doesn’t make any pretensions to be anything other than smut.
AuntieMadder commented:
One doesn’t have to be a Beck fan (I’m not) to know that was a stupid thing to say. Press must be an idiot to even come up with such a non-comparison.
JPeden commented:
It’s simple, Glenn Beck is ~”like Al Qaeda” because Press’s new book proves that
Press himselfConservative talk radio is “toxic” for America.I guess Press reasons that Liberals will buy his book because they like to read about themselves when they aren’t talking about themselves to themselves.
chuck in st paul commented:
It must really suck to get up every morning and find out you’re (still) Bill Press.
Fay Kay commented:
What’s astonishing is just how amateurish these obama-ites are. I lived through the propaganda war in Zimbabwe where Mugabe’s outrageous lies eventually had all of us – black and white – in fits of laughter. It brought us together!! You’d think the American (wannabe) thought police would be a tad more sophisticated. 1st World stupidity is somehow far more onerous and creepy. Simply because there’s no excuse for it. Marxism has always been childish, vindictive and overtly aggressive. One only has to look at the photographic opportunities that Vlad Putin thinks are flattering and clever. These people are all the same – bloody clueless.
Fay Kay commented:
The Glenn Beck rally at the Lincoln Memorial was the America that we all love. The wonderful, proud and feisty America that’s been missing since 2008. All Obama’s policies have been gob-smackingly disastrous. His arrogance is hilarious. He is the ultimate playground bully. Not only should the American people stand shoulder to shoulder against his divide and rule tactics – you should also learn to laugh at him (& his sycophants) If obama was slippery enough to get into power in the UK – he would have been laughed out of office by now. Such an odd little man. Joe Biden reminds us of an oily 2nd hand car salesman. Or Homer’s boss in the Simpsons. Laugh at them America. They are bizare caricatures.
