I don't know why Fox News is getting so bent out of shape about al
Qaeda burning Californians out of their homes anyway - according to
CNN's uber-wingnut Glenn Beck, they deserve it.

With more than 1,100 homes destroyed, two deaths reported and more
than a quarter-million people ordered to evacuate, the wildfires
ravaging Southern California have been as indiscriminate as they have
been devastating.
But the images of charred residences, grieving homeowners and valiant
firefighters apparently were not enough to move conservative talk
radio host Glenn Beck, who told his listeners on his nationally
syndicated show Monday that those suffering losses "hate America."
"I think there is a handful of people who hate America," Beck said.
"Unfortunately for them, a lot of them are losing their homes in a
forest fire today."
But don't worry - as usual, Beck had a compelling explanation:
On Tuesday, Beck said his comments were misinterpreted by "a few
liberal bloggers."
"The wildfires in California are a tragedy," he said during his radio
program.
"I don't want anyone to lose their home. I don't care what their
political stripes are. I don't want a soul to lose their home, and
anyone who doesn't want to make me into an evil supervillain would
understand that."
"Those who don't listen to the show ... , let me give you a little
piece of advice," Beck added.
"You have to engage what I would like to call your brain. You actually
have to think: I might be making a joke; I might be serious."
So you see, there's nothing to be upset about - Beck was just making a
joke about thousands of people getting burned out of their homes.
Gee, lighten up everybody!
