Glenn Beck tells Glenn Greenwald: Progressives caused World War II

[DonViejo]

Glenn Greenwald joined Glenn Beck on The Blaze radio hour this morning to discuss the security apparatus of the United States, as well as other topics of current interest, including the passage of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act in Indiana and the administration’s negotiations with Iran.

“Why does Indiana need to be gassed,” Beck asked, “and yet our president is trying to find common ground with Iran?”

“Let me break that down,” Greenwald replied. “First of all, our closest allies are the most repressive regimes on the planet, like Egypt and Saudi Arabia. So the idea that we’re at the table with a repressive regime is nothing new. Iran is a more enlightened progressive regime than our other allies.”

“Of course we have higher expectations on political rights in the US than foreign countries,” he continued. “We shouldn’t demand that rights we have at home in Iran.”

Beck explained that this hypocrisy is why the rest of the world despises America. “Nobody knows what our principles are. Don’t tell me one thing and do another thing. That’s why people hate us.”

2. “Why does Indiana need to be gassed,” Beck asked...

Um... whaaaaa??

...and here's the money paragraph from Beck:

“I agree,” Beck responded, before veering on a historical tangent. “When we entered the Progressive Era, we caused World War II. We caused a lot of the animosity in South America, because [we imposed an ethos that] what’s good for us is good for you.”

WE caused WW2? Um... derp!
