Asshole of the Week
And the winner is...

Recovering alcoholic/drug addict, ADHD-sufferer and divorced Mormon dickhead Glenn Beck, for his unusually insipid (even for him) comments on the SCOTUS/Gitmo decision:

"If I’m president of the US, I would go on National television and say—’ladies and gentlemen, the Supreme Court said that we don’t have Gitmo so that is over. We’re going to release all of them, but I want you to know from here on out our policy is to not have prisoners. We’re going to shoot them all in the head. If we think they are against us, we’re going to shoot them and kill them... If we can’t put them away and they’re going to use our court system—kill them."
Of course, as John Amato points out, the Court never said we "didn’t have Gitmo" or couldn’t arrest or prosecute suspects. Maybe Beck should ask Bush why he can’t get guilty verdicts with all the resources we spend on the War on Terror.

What an example of American thought Beck represents, eh? Mass killings are only predicated on what we think about them. Small wonder his mother killed herself.

P.S. Speaking of mass killings...

i really wish more WOULD pay attention to the terrorism cases that actually make it to trial and start asking the justice department why Moussaui has been one of the only convictions out of the hundreds/thousands cleared of all charges and dozens of cases thrown out due to insufficient evidence and DOJ obstruction.

this is not counting the dozens tortured to death, even more tortured to mental incompetence (Moussaui being one), and the tens of thousands floating in secret prisons on international waters who will never see a court room.

i really don't know why more law and order types who were all over the internet in Clinton's day are today totally silent after 7 years of this total disregard for domestic and international law.

"If we think they are against us, we’re going to shoot them and kill them"

Only a Sith deals in absolutes.

This blog had an interesting contrast of the baddies from the original Raiders of the Lost Ark and the 2008 Indy film. Now the enemy (Commies) are indistinguishable from ourselves, and we are the ones who say "Shoot zem all!"
