Well, I see Glenn Beck is criticizing the U.S. government WHILE ON FOREIGN SOIL!!!!

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

I've never been one to buy into that rightwing argument that you cant criticize the U.S. while overseas, but the hypocrisy of the right is worth pointing out.

Didn't Glenn and the right go hysterical and call for boycotts back in 2003 over the Dixie Chicks doing something much less than this? Natalie's stage banter is kinda small beans compared to Glenn's rally organized around his criticism.

The event, which Beck called "The Courage to Love," was the first of four associated with his Restoring Courage rally in Israel. A crowd of almost 3,000 was watching Beck live as he praised the Jewish people and expressed solidarity with Israel. He said to a standing ovation, "Let the Jewish people know, no matter what our governments may say, we are not our governments. We stand with you."

2. It's o.k when a "Good Ole' Boy" does it.

When it's minority/woman, all hell breaks lose. Recall the Country Klan's visceral reaction.

3. ZOMG! Quick! Notify Billo and the usual suspects

Yes indeed, when the Dixie Chicks were in London, and said they were ashamed that President Bush claimed Texas as his home, all hell broke loose, and it was, like, totally endangering America, the troops, and our commander in chief. I expect to see nothing less leveled against Glenn Beck for his remarks while in Israel. In fact, with the example of the Dixie Chicks to warn him, Beck should be subject to even worse treatment.

Fox? Where are you on this? Fox? Fox? Ben Stein? Ben Stein? Ben Stein?
