Glen Beck says we call the Troops baby killer

I was in our work breakroom when I had to hear Glen Beck talking about those who protest are calling our troops baby killers. 5 years later they are still trying to say those of us marching in the streets are against the troops. Ironically, many in the streets are veterans, or loved ones of veterans. I personally started protesting because of working with Vietnam veterans at a psych hospital when Desert Storm started.

Here is the link the Glen Bleck. How sad that this is what CNN has become.

I don't know if the poll will still be on this site but it states:

say anti-war movies and organizations

like Moveon.org signal "open season"

on our troops.

Agree 91% 2647
Disagree 9% 265
Total Votes: 2912

This is not a scientific poll

This Glenn Beck is basically FauxNews crazy talk, but I wanted to highlight the inflamatory remarks against the "protestors".

Here is the begining of the transcripts from yesterday, that was partly repreated this afternoon.

GLENN BECK

Could Anti-American Backlash Hurt Troops?; Self-Proclaimed Pedophile Defends Lifestyle; Does Media Bias Hurt War Effort?

Aired September 12, 2007 - 19:00:00 ET

THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
GLENN BECK, HOST (voice-over): Tonight, a presidential candidate condemns the U.S. on Syrian TV.

REP. DENNIS KUCINICH (D-OH), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: We also must pay reparations to the people of Iraq for the great, human tragedy that has been caused.

BECK: Will Dennis Kucinich`s outrageous anti-American tirade hurt our troops on the ground and create an international backlash?

Plus, I`ll speak with a notorious, self admitted pedophile, Jack McClellan. Should he be locked up before it`s too late? I`ll ask him what he thinks.

And if terrorists ever managed to hit our schools, Americans might become revenge-fuelled vigilantes. Part three of our series, "Exposed: The Perfect Day". I`ll tell you what that`s exactly what Islamic terrorists are hoping for, and we must not give it to them.

All this and more, tonight.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

BECK: Well, hello, America. Let me ask you a question.

From the day that American troops were sent in to fight in Iraq, didn`t we promise each other? Didn`t we promise each other one thing that we wouldn`t treat these veterans like the way we treated the ones from Vietnam? That we`d support their efforts and never call them murderers and baby killers? Wasn`t that what we promised each other?

Well, here`s the point tonight. To some, our troops are now officially baby killers. Here`s how I got there.

When MoveOn.org took out their full-page ad and "The New York Times" took their money this week, calling General David Petraeus a lying traitor, General Betray Us, I warned you, I warned you this was just the beginning of a vicious anti-troop sentiment.

Everybody screams, "Oh, no, we love the troops." Bull crap! If activists like MoveOn.org will dare to come after a respected man like General Petraeus, a man with impeccable reputation, who was approved without objection by the entire Congress, I wondered who would cast the next stone. How fast would this thing start rolling down the hill?

Well, even I was surprised that it wasn`t an activist group taking the next shot but an American politician and presidential candidate, Dennis Kucinich.

During his Middle Eastern tour last week, Democrat Dennis Kucinich met with the president of Syria. You know, Syria, little country with a long history of aiding terrorist groups?

Then he sat down with Syrian television. What better way to gain favor with your interviewer than bash your own home country while our brave, American men and women are dying just across the border in Iraq?

Here is what he had to say.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

KUCINICH: We are all being weakened by continuing a war that`s based on a lie. This war was based on lies. Iraq didn`t have the weapons of mass destruction, wasn`t connected to 9/11, had nothing to do with al Qaeda`s role in 9/11. What are we there for?

(END VIDEO CLIP)

BECK: Vietnam had Hanoi Jane. It looks like now, we have Damascus Dennis.

It is one thing to question our foreign policy here. In fact, it is -- that is the most patriotic thing you can do. But it`s at home. It is quite another place to do it in a place like Syria.

The State Department has determined that Syria is a state sponsor of terror. There are only five states like it in the -- in the world. And they are continuing to support and give aid and comfort to the world`s deadliest anti-American terror groups.

You know, I have come to expect this level of anti-Americanism from the extreme left, and that`s saying something. But now they`re making it personal against our troops.

Next one. Brian De Palma, he`s a director out of Hollywood. He`s got a new film coming out this fall about the real-life rape and killing of a 14-year-old Iraqi girl by U.S. soldiers.

I want you to understand: this did happen. It is at least one of eight American films on the war in Iraq due to come out in the next few months.

What happened to this young girl is a tragedy. It is a horror show. And the men who committed that horrible crime are rightfully in prison. They each received a hundred-year prison sentence. I`d be for giving them death.

But it is unfair and completely irresponsible to color all American troops as rapists. Maybe being called a baby killer wasn`t so bad after all.

Yes, there are bad soldiers. But you know what? There are no more bad soldiers than there are bad doctors or bad lawyers or accountants, priests, actors and directors. In fact, I`ll bet you there are fewer rapists in our armed forces than there are in Hollywood, California, you pieces of garbage.

Most in the military hold themselves to an incredibly high moral code, and films like De Palma`s disgrace their sacrifice. So tonight, America, here is what you need to know.

Buckle up. If you have a family member fighting overseas like I do, prepare yourself. The real atrocities of war are about to begin.

We must never, ever forget our American soldiers are the very best of us. They conduct themselves with the same honor and integrity as the Greatest Generation did. In fact, I think they`re proof that the greatest American generation is still alive.
