Glenn Beck: CNN interview with atheist tornado survivor was a setup!


A producer who "doesn't like Christians" planted the Okla. tornado survivor to promote atheism, says Beck

BY KATIE MCDONOUGH


Glenn Beck believes that a CNN producer who “doesn’t like Christians” and is “sympathetic to the atheist plight” orchestrated Wolf Blitzer’s interview with Oklahoma tornado survivor and atheist Rebecca Vitsmun because the exchange was “really bizarre” and “not natural.”

He knows the interview was a setup because he is an expert who has been doing this “long enough to know that [the exchange]… wasn’t natural” and just has really good journalistic instincts in general, OK?

I thought about posting some pics of that grifter using onions to tear up before an on-air crying jag, but I really don't have the stomach for it right now.

And Homeland Security rushed in to confiscate all guns from the rubble (according to a FB friend of mine).

This is all a conspiracy I tell you!

... that was because Blitzer seemed intent on pushing some sort of religious agenda where it was unnecessary and not reciprocated.

It's not a conspiracy, just poor journalism.

I must insist that he live without power, communications, water, food, or transportation, tho. Like everybody else down there (not a journalist or whacko pundit) has to.

Accusing Wolf Blitzer, accusing CNN producers of deliberately planting an atheist on camera just to score points for Satan. That should earn him some enemies.

10. Atheist here. I understand I have a "plight"?

My only plight regarding religion, or lack thereof, is that religious people seem to think I have to be bound by their beliefs, and they want their beliefs made into laws for the entire country. While, of course, being tax-exempt.
