Glenn Beck Agrees: We Need Osama bin Laden to “Detonate a major weapon in the United States”
My kid’s mom was evacuated from the World Trade Center that day. A guy I knew in high school died in the attack. My friend Claiborne’s brother was on his way to work at the WTC, when he saw the planes fly into the buildings, and couldn’t call his family to tell them he was [...]

Ackerman wants to know why John McKKKain pals around with terrorists. Why? Because al Qaeda endorses John McKKKain:
