Glenn Beck Reports CIA Plot Between Embassy Killing and Something Awful

An anonymous reader writes "Here's one that even The Onion would reject as too blatantly ridiculous: American right-wing radio and TV clown Glenn Beck believes that Sean Smith aka Vile Rat, the EVE Online diplomat who was killed earlier this month during the attack on the US embassy in Benghazi, was actually a CIA agent, relaying communications to his fellow undercover agents at Something Awful."

Old.

And more importantly, it happened because Beck couldn't believe that the administration would be so fucking stupid as to not provide security in Benghazi after the attacks in June and the Brits had specifically pulled their consulate back to Tripoli because they thought the security situation, even with upgraded security, was too tenuous. So he cast around for any possible theory and his fevered mind came up with that.

no comparing obama to bush is like comparing twins, not identical twins because, well... but fraternal twins none the less. Obama is the exact same as bush, the only difference is that bush didnt try and cover up his stupid statements, he just walked away from them. Obama on the other hand embraces them, and twists the meaning to try and make him look good. 20 embassies get attacked? fuck it lets go to vegas, we can blame a movie maker anyway

Full Audio or it didn't happen...

Glenn Beck has been known to use this device known as "sarcasm" which tends to escape the Aspergers crowd that runs Slashdot. He might have been serious or he could totally have been joking and the quote in the article is useless for proving either one.

Considering the inability of the supposed "geniuses" on this site to spot an obvious joke that Mitt Romney made last week, I'll do the politically incorrect thing and not have the Pavlovian foaming at the mouth reaction to what the ringleaders on this site want, but instead rely on these things called "facts" before making a judgment.

But the foaming at the mouth crowd takes them both seriously.

Yes, they do. And then they jump up and down and rant and rave about how awful and hateful Rush is, and call Beck a clown (flamebait from the summary). Some of them then go as far as to call both of them official or unofficial spokesmen for "the party", and then attach all kinds of insulting stuff to "the party" as a result.

Can I suggest to the management at /. that if the summaries of articles are going to be such patent flamebait, that the moderation status of "flamebait" be changed from negative to positive? After all, flaming in the comments simply enhances the flame in the summary.

I'm sorry, but have you been in a coma for 12 years? Did you not hear the hatred that was spewed about Bush that is NOT spews about Obama. Hell, even the media is getting in on the game.
See this "lady".
And compare that to when Bush was president, HERE. It's actually the same reporter.

Also, two wrongs don't make a right, especially when you have to make one of the wrongs up to justify your hatred and bad behavior.

Take your fucking condescension, and ram it up that arse of yours; that's so tight that it could use some loosening.

And stop equivocating: you right wing guys are all for tough talk as long as it's your side doing it, so the whining for decency when you get some nasty words back is hypocrisy, not 'two wrongs make a right'. Thank you for proving the point though, as suddenly you are now an arbiter of what is morally OK, while in any other discussion you like to pull up "Yes but them libruls do it too!".

So fuck you and your hypocrisy. As long as your brand of idiocy is imported by way of Pam Geller into my country, I will keep an eye on what you Nutjobs in the States are doing, and I will comment on it. And no amount of your pussy whining will stop that, so better get used to it.
