    Glen Beck Facebook fail

    http://www.dailytech.com/Glenn+Becks...ticle37531.htm



    ...

    Early today he (or some hapless staffer) took to his Facebook, Inc. (FB) account to paste this seemingly compelling warning about the dangers of refugees -- even well screened ones.

    Sadly, 49,000+ brave souls blindly accepted Beck's bull<substance> as reality. No, they couldn't be bothered by their peers' insistent pleas that something wasn't quite right about this claim.

    So what was wrong with this picture? Notice anything amiss? (Hint: "thoroughlly (sic) vetted")

    Oh that's right -- Nidal Hasan, aka the Fort Hood shooter, was born in America. Or more specifically he was born in Arlington, Virg. It takes all of 10 seconds for anyone with Google and a lumpy mass of gray matter in their skull to discover this amazing fact.

    So who exactly "thoroughlly (sic) vetted" him? The hospital staff in Arlington? His mother's "birth canal"?
    ...

    I found this "thoroughlly" amusing.

    That does it. We need to stop American Citizens from entering the US.

    Didn't Beck say a few months ago that he was going use his own money to save Christian refugees?

    The word "Facebook" in the thread title is superfluous ...

    So the answer is....be wary of all mooselums be they foreign born of U.S. born. Follow Donald Trump's idea of giving them yellow crescents. Ignore the angry white and asian boys who shoot up schools because....well.....we don't want profiling when it's us.

    Perhaps they left out the word military, as in, being allowed into the U.S. Military, along with any security clearances and such. Regardless, that entire incident is very suspect.
