Howard Kurtz Smacks Down Bill Press for Comparing Glenn Beck to Al Qaeda
NewsBusters ^ | 8/29/10 | Noel Sheppard

Howard Kurtz on Sunday smacked down liberal talk radio host Bill Press for saying the Park Service allowing Glenn Beck's "Restoring Honor" event at the Lincoln Memorial was like "granting al Qaeda permission to hold a rally on September 11th at Ground Zero."

Towards the end of the opening segment of CNN's "Reliable Sources," Kurtz surprisingly brought up last Friday's disgraceful editing job by ABC's "Good Morning America" that Beck himself said was like something Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels would have done.

When finished with this admonishment, Kurtz went right after Press who was seated directly in front of him (transcript follows with commentary, video pending):

Shouldn’t you be more concerned with the rumour Obama is a Muslim?

Why? Does it bother you? I am not a Mormon, and his faith doesn't bother me.

Doesn't bother me either. If he professes that Jesus Christ is his Lord and Savior that is good enough for me. And remember that we are facing a President whose "faith" is somewhere between Liberation Theology and Islam. So we can't afford the luxury of sectarian infighting.

PRESS: I think it is just as outrageous to have the people who offended -- I mean, who carried those attacks out at Ground Zero on 9/11, to give them that sacred site, to give a political huckster the Lincoln Memorial, yes.

It almost sounds like he is opposed to the Ground Zero mosque.

I know that is not what he means, but you could almost infer it from what he says.

I guess he was a little agitated when he said it.
