Debbie Schlussel: Why Are Glenn Beck & Lou Dobbs Promoting A Hezbollah Supporter?
I'm all for publicizing the horrible Obama stimulus packages and budget and the crimes and abuses of ACORN.
But why are Glenn Beck and Lou Dobbs promoting an open Hezbollah and Arafat-supporter to do it? Why are they promoting the man who claims that 9/11 was "simply a plane crash"?
Well, you'll have to ask them and stop gushing over their pandering shows because today, both of them are featuring Republican Congressman Darrell Issa a/k/a Jihad Darrell on their show, despite his unabashed open support for Islamic terrorism--including Hezbollah, Syria's Assads, and Arafat--and hatred for Israel and the Jews.
This is Beck's second pandering promotion of this skunk on his show, and it's ironic that Issa will be on their respective FOX News and CNN shows to unveil a report on ACORN's criminal practices. That's kind of ironic, given that Issa, himself, has a long and interesting criminal history that includes, among other things, lying about his military service, going AWOL, car theft, carrying unlicensed concealed weapons, firing an employee at gunpoint, arson, insurance fraud, patent theft.
Looks like ACORN has nothing on him. You have to ask yourself if Issa is truly the best Republican choice to whine about ACORN's criminal activity, given his own record of criminal activity. I mean, do Republicans really want to help their enemies on the left so easily invoke that phrase about a pot, a kettle, and the color black?
A 2007 column I wrote in the New York Post stopped Republicans in the House from electing Darrell Issa as their policy committee chairman.
Sadly, there's nothing to stop Glenn Beck and Lou Dobbs from promoting this horrible excuse for a Congressman and conveniently ignoring gaping details in his resume.
Yes, there's no law forcing Beck or Dobbs to actually do their homework.
And that's why they're both gush over Issa today.
