During his show on TheBlazeTV on Tuesday, Glenn Beck discussed a report that states the U.S. State Department may be actively considering transferring Omar Abdel Rahman, also know as the “Blind Sheikh,” from the U.S. to Egypt.
Beck then slammed the media for continuing to smear GOP presidential nominee Romney while refusing to report on issues that would harm the Obama administration.
“There is no political trouble for Obama as our embassies literally burn down to the ground and facts come out that the administration may have ignored warnings. Where is the pressure after TheBlaze breaking news that the State Department is considering talks or in talks to transfer the mastermind of the 1993 world trade center bombing from the U.S. to Egypt for humanitarian and health reasons?”
Beck explained that the Blind Sheikh is revered by newly elected Egyptian President Mohammad Morsi, who called his release a matter of “great importance” and vowed to pressure the United States to release him from their custody.
Responding to a statement from the U.S. Department of Justice that said allegations claiming the State Department is considering transferring the Blind Sheikh to Egypt are “garbage,” Beck called on the State Department to issue its own denial as it would be the agency that would handle such matters.

Sep. 19, 2012 at 8:57amIf Glenn wants to look for media outlets that ignore major news stories all he has to do is look at his own product “The Blaze”. It took an entire day for the Blaze to pick up this story and it only reported it a few hours before Glenn made this statement.
The Blaze constantly ignores MAJOR news like China all but declaring war on Japan or that France is closing 20 embassies in fear of the practitioners of the peace loving Muslim religion.
Before throwing a stone you may want to look at your own glass house Glenn.

Sep. 19, 2012 at 9:20amIn defense of The Blaze when I started writing this story they had not posted the French embassy story, now they have.
Lets see if The Blaze will post that demonstrators in China attacked and damaged our ambassadors car? As I said perhaps by posting links we can force The Blaze to cover the very news stories that Glenn scolds the other media outlets for ignoring.
China declaring war on Japan, our ambassador’s car attacked in Beijing? I cant see The Blaze covering such small insignificant stories that are “so embarrassing to Obama” as Glenn said.

The allegations aren’t true. What was the media supposed to report.
This isn’t beating a dead horse – it’s beating an invisible horse.

Sep. 19, 2012 at 9:37amIf you would read the story Glenn acknowledged that issue. Here is the quote:
“Responding to a statement from the U.S. Department of Justice that said allegations claiming the State Department is considering transferring the Blind Sheikh to Egypt are “garbage,” Beck called on the State Department to issue its own denial as it would be the agency that would handle such matters.”
So Beck is just making sure by asking the State Department to deny the story. Hey with all the idiots Obama has put in power it probably would not surprise many people in America if this did happen. Remember Obama is a friend of the Muslim Brotherhood, heck he put them in power and gave them $1.5 billion dollars to attack us with. Obama is not a friend of Israel or the USA.
Just trying to help you out a little bit VERCE.

Sep. 19, 2012 at 3:03amGlenn, He can only respond if it is Friday night after the press has shut down. He is above giving the truth to the American citizens. Remember he is the Commander in Chief, he will tell you that because he holds all the guns and ammo. He doesn’t have to answer to you. You are a pesky flea to him.

Sep. 19, 2012 at 1:44amThis guy should never be released and should rot in our prision. If they release him before the election, Obama will not be re-elected. That will be the last straw for most independents.

Sep. 19, 2012 at 1:16amI really love glenn beck, he is a great man, a great roll model. And someone I admire greatly but I don’t see how the nice man approach is working?
Where is gods help? Millions of us have changed our lives over the last 5 years and we continue to remain stranded on a NDAA island while the government hawks and islamists prepare for mass murder.
One minute we have a great story about Obama implementing muslim brotherhood tactics, then next minute beck is out there saying he isn’t muslim.
One minute beck is out there saying “I wonder who the first guy is going to be to find Obama’s prayer rug in the white house” the next minute he says “Obama can’t be muslim, he is not committed to anything.” He seems pretty committed to me. Valeria Jarret, Holder, Obama, Its safe to assume they could all be radical islamists or traitors
I am greatly confused on the balance of this world. There is no balance. There is no ying and yang.
We are abandoned, this approach is not working. Where are the signs for the millions of Americans doing there part?
Tonights show has made me sick. Millions of us stuck in apartments, living pay check to pay check because corporations/schools have decided to saturate the market and lower wages over the last 10 years. Have some extra food, not enough income to buy a house, gold or silver. What are we supposed to do?
I feel like we are just sitting here waiting for the slaughter while you tell us we need to vote in a corrupt

Sep. 19, 2012 at 3:09amObama tells you very clearly in his book, he has no “gods” and no religion. He is a cold, pile of clay . . . Dead to the world as you know it. He is inhuman; that is why you cannot get on his level of thinking. No normal person can. That is why he can throw everyone under the bus; don’t you feel for his wife and kids. I do. Pray for this family.

Sep. 19, 2012 at 1:14amWhen the French spies bombed and sank the Rainbow Warrior in one of our harbours (it was intending to protest French nuclear testing at Mururoa in the Pacific), we caught and jailed them. It turned out that French spies aren’t all that bright – not a James Bond among the lot. (For a while an idiotic New Zealander would be told that he was “as silly as a French spy”.)
After two years the French government threaten our exports to that country if we did not agree to shift them to a French possesion in the Pacific to serve the remainder of their sentence. Shamefully, we agreed.
After a brief period the French government returned them to France and there was nothing that we could do about it. Once in France they were treated as heroes and given medals in a public ceremony. A man had been killed by their bombs.
No matter what deal might made regarding the “blind sheik”, be it prison in a third country or whatever else, he will be returned to Egypt where he will receive a hero’s welcome.
Thereafter he will use the kudos he has gained to inflame his fellow savages and exhort them to further barbarism against the west in general, and the USA in particular.
If your government doesn’t keep him imprisoned on US soil, this is certain. Trust me on this…

Sep. 19, 2012 at 12:26amOf course, the media will cover their Comrade with recordings of Romney, and the kitchen sink, if neccessary. They don’t want people to know that BHO has sent Egypt $1.5 billion, and is going to send them more! I’d bet that Egypt will send him campaign contributions, in return for the Sheik, and also money to Iran.

Sep. 19, 2012 at 12:13amThe so-called blind sheik needs to stay in jail. He was involved with the first bombing of the twin towers and had a van full of bombs blow up in a parking garage beneath the towers. To he11 with the Egyptians. They can march and burn all day. Who cares? If obama mans our embassies and advises a shoot-to-kill option for the marine guards…the embasssies will be safe enough. If we had a real president…their marching and protesting would never change our stance on the blind shiek or on freedom of speech.
