When Glenn Beck runs out of stupid things to say, he's resourceful enough to have guests to say even stupider things. Wendy Gittleson of the Philadelphia Inquirer calls this statement by Michael Scheuer, head of the CIA's Osama Bin Laden unit from 1996 to 1999, "borderline treasonous."

Not The First Outrage

But this isn't the first really outrageous thing Glenn Beck has come up with. In May, 2005, Glenn Beck posed the question "What would people do for $50 million?" and asserted, "Would you kill someone for that?...I'm thinking about killing Michael Moore...I could kill him myself, or if I would need to hire somebody to do it,...No, I think I could. I think he could be looking me in the eye, you know, and I could just be choking the life out. Is this wrong? I stopped wearing my What Would Jesus -- band -- Do, and I've lost all sense of right and wrong now. I used to be able to say, 'Yeah, I'd kill Michael Moore,' and then I'd see the little band: What Would Jesus Do? And then I'd realize, 'Oh, you wouldn't kill Michael Moore. Or at least you wouldn't choke him to death.' And you know, well, I'm not sure."

And people wonder why the GOP is exhibiting Cheyne-Stokes breathing, gasping for its last breath? With advocates like this, the only people staying in the GOP are Klansmen and Birchers.
