Beck is reporting using facts? The end of the world is nigh.

Wow. Kudos to Glenn Beck! (Wait, did I just say that??)

I disagree, this follows Beck's usual M.O. He frames the whole issue as being about "stimulus" and how stimulus spending always ends up being wasteful and bad, with the sly implication that this was somehow related to the federal stimulus package that Obama pushed. All of which is nonsense. Yes, Beck then presents some actual "facts" but the whole issue has already been so badly distorted in the way he's framed it, that this ends up being his usual misleading B.S. He then adds in a healthy dose of his usual neo-John Birch, right-wing "the govment's gonna round up us real Americuns" paranoia for good measure.

The fact that this is an interesting story in its own right does not make this segment anything more than Beck's usual blizzard B.S.

I agree this is bs -- he happens to be right, but for the wrong reason.

If this were 2006, these privatized pseudo-police would be the "good guys". For the GOP, the government is always bad as logn as they aren't in charge.

Also, note the lack of attribution.

Hear, hear... my reaction as well.

I can't watch the video at work. Was everybody he interviewed white? :p

When it comes to stuff like military in the US, no matter who or what is doing it, Beck goes crazy. However, in this instance, i do not disagree with him, unlike FEMA Camp Week

"And quite frankly, some are freakin' out."

So strange hearing that come out of his mouth.
