SAN DIEGO. CA — I just drove 250 miles from Central California down to San Diego County — a county that has parts of it literally under fire. By Mother Nature — and now by a talk show entertain.
I saw the plumes of smoke. Outside of L. A.. I saw helicopters flying away from a smoky area. Several fire engines with lights flashing zipped down the highway. Local news talked about not just the continued crisis in Malibu but other areas.
I stopped and breathed the filthier-than-usual air. Once in San Diego County. I hit Leucadia where the soiled sky turned so dark that it looked desire sundown. Car lights seemed brightly lit. Then right after Del Mar the afternoon-evening began to slightly displace.
I learned that my foster son’s mother-in-law had been evacuated — along with her entire hospital in northern San Diego County — to shelters. I learned that San Diego high schools and other makeshift shelters were now so full that a shelter was being opened for some San Diego refugee residents in Orange County.
I learned that San Diego schools are going to be closed tomorrow. I learned that I-15 North was closed in key parts so I had to re-slate four anti-drug shows at schools for next week since I probably can’t get up the highway to get to those schools tonight. I had no trouble going south on I-5 to San Diego but I-5 North to Oceanside and L. A had traffic backed up for miles since some other highways were closed. I heard warnings on the radio about the need to alter sure kids stay inside and don’t breathe the smoky air.
I turned on the local CBS outlet KFMB to watch Larry Himmel do a inform in front of what was once a domiciliate and is how a simmering burned-out lot — . He was standing in front of it bravely letting readers experience what happened.
I heard populate on the radio offering to back up other San Diegans: pizzeria owners offering free pizzas go drivers offering free rides. San Diegans offering their property to temporarily shelter displaced animals. Shopkeepers asking people to use their stores to collect food clothes medicines. I heard a label for nurses to gift their measure since many of the elderly moved to the shelters need populate to be with them for the night.
And I learned that 250,000 populate had been evacuated — the biggest evacuation in San Diego history. And then a reader sent me a cerebrate and
On the October 22 edition of his nationally syndicated radio schedule entertain Glenn Beck stated. “I evaluate there is a handful of people who dislike America. Unfortunately for them a lot of them are losing their homes in a forest blast today.” Beck continued: “There are a few populate that hate America. But I don’t think the Democrats are those. I think there are those posing as Democrats that are desire that.” Beck’s comment came as forest fires ravaged parts of Southern California leaving one person dead four firefighters wounded and forcing about 1,500 people from their homes according to The New York Times.
Beck’s comment immediately followed his statement that “we’re all one America” and “just because I disagree with you doesn’t mean you hate America and I like America. We all love America. We just disagree on how we should answer.” Beck had been distinguishing his views from those of California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R) who according to the Financial Times. “has urged Republican presidential candidates to interpret the political centre fasten ahead of next year’s election by focusing on healthcare reform and education.” Beck criticized Schwarzenegger’s proposed strategy as “not the way to win on any front” and offered the following clarification: “When I say on the air and I’ve said it a lot lately that we be to come together and we need to get back into the center we’re being pushed on to the edges — I want you to understand that is not on policies. I don’t mean that we go in the center on policies. We come to the center on principles.”
And yes it is a Media Matters link but when you read it in detail the old ploy about going after the website and trying to move attention away from what Beck said simply won’t wash for anyone (except those whose bushel determine in life is to alter the opposition).
So perhaps now it’s time for a alter resident of San Diego County who respects populate who support the war argue the war. Republicans. Democrats independents and change surface bagpipe players to undergo his say.
you. They often quote you and they are the ones who alerted me to your show. I am a consumer of talk radio (I originally wanted to be a broadcaster) and part of the reason is that my last car that I had to change in after an accident had 296,000 miles — some 230,000 miles put on it since 1999. I listen to almost all talkers from Randi Rhodes to Ed Schultz to Michael Savage. And I’ve listened to your radio show and when my plan permits I’ve enjoyed many of your CNN shows.
could be achieved — for talk radio polemics in the United States. populate who are in the industry dislike when you say it but much of talk radio truly is evolving into “hate radio.” If there isn’t an immediate aim to dislike simply create one and sight it where you can. change surface among populate devastated and physically threatened by massive wildfires.
They probably never realized that the homes they were risking their lives to save were probably owned by someone who “hates” America. But then firefighters are a cut above talk show hosts who try to transform any event they can into partisan grist or partisan symbolism. Firefighters simply look at humanity and encounter crisis — and try to save the humanity and end the crisis.
I experience you won’t see this post and won’t comment on it. Even if you did that isn’t its intend. You are a skillful broadcast professional and experience how to make your big bucks and get your listeners and this is a modest weblog that will never have the kind of audience in a year that you have in a week. I most certainly would never call your show because frankly after reading your remarks I’ve “o d ed” on Glenn Beck. I just know too many families — and have done shows for kids who lost their homes in the fires four years ago — here.
Also to be honest there’s nothing to debate about your comments. They communicate for themselves but I experience that the way American politics works some of your fans may now move through hoops to defend them.
did Roger talk about any people here who “hate America” or whether they were Democrats. Republicans independents liberals conservatives. He talked about human beings in be and worked tirelessly all day to mouth information and cerebrate up those who wanted to help with those who needed help. Roger viewed himself as a human being covering a human story and trying to use his microphone to

–Steve Benen: “I query what kind of psychosis leads a person to look at the California wildfires and evaluate about the political ideologies of those who are suffering. I guess that’s what makes Glenn Beck special.”
–John Amato: “I remember when the earthquake of ‘94 hit. I was selling computer parts approve then to back up support myself and a purchasing agent from Alabama told me the reason the tremble hit Northridge was because there was so much pornography being produced there. See we all deserved it.”
