Glenn Beck, Abortion and the 9/11 Commission

I got a kick out of Glenn Beck the other day. He ran a promo all day that there would be content inappropriate for immature listeners. It turns out Glenn was going to play the audio of an actual abortion. People called in frantic and disturbed about the stunt. Some people were deeply troubled and even changed their minds on their previous pro-choice decisions. Beck warned his audience that certain radio stations would sub over the audio because it was too graphic. Tensions were high.

Beck somberly introduces the audio and starts the tape. What follows is a near transcript of what you hear:


(someone clearing their throat) "Ahem. Commissioner Gorelick you have the floor..."

"President Bush, when did you know about 9/11!..."


The next segment he played from the "abortion" had a segment from Al Franken's radio show. Naturally, people all over his audience called in to say that their radio station had dubbed over the abortion audio. HILARIOUS!!

In one swing he was able to make a very powerful statement against abortion while at the same time making fun of the 9/11 commission.
