This.

If you watched the actual interview, you would know that the guy called Beck after it happened. They are obviously friends. Stop finding idiotic reasons to justify your hatred for the man. I don't watch him, I don't particularly care for him, and I certainly didn't get the feeling that he was doing anything but giving this guy a place to tell this outrageous story.

What offends you so much about this story? You obviously don't think it's worth anybody hearing... why not?

its a fucking dog, do you realize that humans are murdered in this country daily and it never makes the news?

Are you serious? Murders make the news, it's just that they all don't make the national news. If they did they wouldn't have time for any other news.

Like it or not, this story was worthy of national attention.

Context of the 'event'. Some punk ass gets wasted in a drug deal, many people look at it as an unfortunate incident, but one resulting from poor lifestyle choices. On the other hand, a productive member of society regarded as a hero by many.....a cruel, senseless, and evil crime commited against such a person by losers fuc-ks, then several people are going to have a much different response than you.
Guess it all depends on your moral fiber, though.

going by your logic, it should have been national news when my home was burglerized. the fact is it has nothing to do with morals.
Are you a former Navy SEAL whose entire team was wiped out, except for you, while fighting the Taliban and Al Qa'ida in the mountains of Afghanistan? If so, then the burglary of your home may have been news worthy... :roll:

He did get them...held them at gun point till Rangers arrived.

Not according to the second (non Glenn Beck) version of the story:

Luttrell and the men he was chasing were finally stopped by Onalaska Police Department.

Of course, Glenn Beck isn't quite so interested in what actually happened. He needs to stoke the fires of hero worship:

Marcus gets into his truck, chases them over four counties, finally runs them into a ditch. He calls the Rangers.

The Texas Rangers arrive and these guys, when the Texas Rangers are taking these guys away, Marcus has held them there by a gun.

You super-patriots are so desperate for blood and glory, you believe any over-the-top story you read.

Note also that in the first version of the story:

He's standing there with a gun between the guy's eyes. He doesn't fire. All four and he's just saying, "You killed my dog." They executed his dog. "You killed my dog. Why would you do that?" They run.

But in the second version:

Luttrell said they were oblivious as he raised a 9 mm pistol from about 25 yards away and had one of them dead to rights.

But as the car pulled away, he didn?t fire.

So Luttrell didn't confront them. Didn't force them to flee. Didn't catch them. Didn't engage in a mano e mano dick-measuring contest. He followed them in his pickup truck. When that turned into a chase, he called 911. He and the alleged perps got stopped by the police. And here's nothing in the second story that says anything about the alleged perps threatening Luttrell's life.

Glenn Beck is even more of an idiot than I'd heard.

you're calling me a dirt bag yet you think the death of a dog is more news worthy than a human being murdered. i truly hope you don't reproduce.

thats a really fucked up way of viewing the world. if two innocent humans have the same crime commited against them, you seriously believe one is more important depending on the circumstances of that persons life?

No, you twit, I never said one is "more important" than any other. But, one of their stories might simply be a bit more interesting than the others -- with a broader appeal -- which is what makes it newsworthy.

Mr. Lutrell being a distinguished and previously well-known combat veteran makes his story more interesting than yours. Period.

More important? Not necessarily... more NEWSWORTHY, very much so.

If you get mugged nobody will care, if Donald Trump gets mugged it's news. Stop being difficult to make a bogus point. Grow up.

EDIT: I gotta start reading the thread 'til the end before I post. Same point as palehorse.

So are you seriously going to try and argue that every murder that occurs daily in this country should be the front line news that evening until they have ALL been covered???

You live in a seriously fucked up reality if you believe that.

for you people who can't get over the fact that it is on beck's site, here you go. you could overlook your issues w/ beck to pay a little homage to a story about a guy who nearly laid it all on the line for you bitches to rant in here about beck and no, i really don't like beck fwiw, he is just like the majority of all the "entertainers" on the "news" shows, pushing one side or another...also, the story is basically the same when you read it/watch it on different shows, just small detail differences, but overall the same story

CALLER: Hey, Glenn, thanks for taking my call. I just wanted to know, Friday you asked us to pray for Marcus and I was just seeing if you had an update today on what's going on with him.

GLENN: Yes, I do. Yes, I do. Marcus Luttrell is the lone survivor. He was part of the SEAL team. It was the biggest battle any SEAL in SEAL history. He was the only survivor. He lost his whole team. He was then taken by Al Qaeda and the Taliban and he was tortured beyond your wildest imagination and there they held him for a while. He's been sick. He still hasn't recovered from all of the things that they did to him and so he just has he's always in for his back and surgery and everything else.

On Thursday I believe it was, Wednesday or Thursday about 1:00 a.m., Marcus is a guy who doesn't sleep anymore at night. He sleeps during the daytime. And about 1:00 he happened to be awake and he heard a gunshot. He lives on a ranch with his mother in Texas. He grabs his gun and he goes outside. There he sees, I believe it was four. It may be three but I believe it was four young men 18 to 24 years old, all of them, where they had just shot his dog. Marcus' dog is named Dasy. Each letter represents D A S Y represents one of the fallen members of his team. It was given to him in recovery to help him through the recovery process. This dog means everything to Marcus. Marcus had his gun and he took it out and he put it right between the eyes of one of the guys. He was standing away from them, pointed right between the eyes. Now, here's a SEAL team member who is wildly, he's just, he is having trouble, man. He is still recovering from his injuries. He had just gotten out of surgery. He's standing there with a gun between the guy's eyes. He doesn't fire. All four and he's just saying, "You killed my dog." They executed his dog. "You killed my dog. Why would you do that?" They run. They get into his car. Marcus gets into his truck, chases them over four counties, finally runs them into a ditch. He calls the Rangers.

The Texas Rangers arrive and these guys, when the Texas Rangers are taking these guys away, Marcus has held them there by a gun. As the Rangers are taking these guys away, they're threatening Marcus' life and saying, "When we get out, we're coming for you next. First it was your dog. It's going to be you next. You don't know who you're messin' with." That's when Marcus kind of snapped just a little bit and said to the Ranger, "Excuse me, ranger, do you know who I am?" He said, "Yes, sir, Mr. Luttrell, I do." He said, "You might want to explain to these punks because I could have killed them 600 different ways and if I wanted to kill you guys after what you would have done what you just did to my dog, I would have pulled you down into my basement and I would have tortured you for days and you wouldn't have died until you begged me for death. So before you start saying you're going to come after me, you better learn who you've just whose dog you just killed."

They get into jail. These four punks have been killing dogs in Marcus' county now for a month, for joys, joy rides and kicks. Tonight Marcus is going to be on television and he's going to tell the story, and I'm showing the pictures of these dirtbags. And I want you to call PETA, I want you to call every activist you know. I want you to hear the story of a hero whose dog was executed. In all of the times that everybody is saying, oh, guns gotta be taken off the streets, you gun nuts. Here's a responsible gun owner that with everything he's gone through, everything that that dog means, these dirtbags come and kill his dog. He could have killed them all. He probably would have enjoyed it, justifiably so and he didn't because he's an American hero. Keep him in your prayers.
