Hate TV, that is what I am going to call Fox News from this point on. Every single day this "news" outlet sells hate and incites violence. The latest is just unreal. Here is what Glenn Beck guest Michael F. Scheuer said:
""the only chance we have as a country right now is for Osama Bin
Ladin to deploy and detonate a major weapon in the United States...
only Osama can, can execute an attack which can force Americans to
demand that their government protect them effectively, consistently and
with as much violence as necessary."

The guest saying this is not some random lone psychotic. Scheuer is the former head of Alec Station, a CIA OBL tracking group. He is a serious terrorism expert, which is why him saying this on a "news" show is incredibly dangerous and unethical. He is bringing the weight of his authority on a comment of this nature.
Scheuer's passions for another attack, his misplaced and perverted version of patriotism in which killing some Americans justifies the greater good, not to mention his many contacts abroad used to track OBL, should put federal authorities on alert. If this guy is so willing to sacrifice Americans for what he believes is America's protection, then I put nothing past him - not even him strapping on a bomb and waving an American flag while everything goes kaboom.
I did used to respect this guy, although I thought he was a bit out there. Now I think he is just dangerous. Finally, if Scheuer wants OBL to detonate a bomb on American soil, perhaps he should request that the next ground zero be his own home, rather than volunteering the rest of us to die so he can prove a political point.
Fox Hate TV should be ashamed for airing this kind of perverted hope for more dead Americans. I am curious, who gets to pick which Americans will be sacrified to this cause? Or is it a random hope for terrorism with as many casualties as needed to prove a point?
By the way, I did not notice Beck crying as he so famously does whenever he speaks of 9/11, clearly indicating that some terrorism and some dead Americans are okay by him.
