The conservative commentator was praised by liberals for his stance on the constitutional rights of suspected terrorist Faisal Shahzad.

There was something almost poignant about seeing dozens of liberal commentators extend props last week to their cardinal antagonist, Glenn Beck. Despite their religion of hating the guy, many members of the left-leaning punditocracy admitted that Beck was actually reasonable on the matter of suspected Times Square bomber Faisal Shahzad, a naturalized U.S. citizen from Pakistan who, Beck said, should be read his Miranda rights, not stripped of his civil liberties for the sake of national security.

"He's a citizen of the United States, so I say we uphold the laws and the Constitution on citizens," Beck said on Fox News shortly after Shahzad's arrest. "A lot of citizens .... We don't shred the Constitution when it's popular. We do the right thing."

Most of us get it and don't need creepy stories like this to point out the obvious.

Even a broken clock... you know...

Yes, Palin "hit it out of the park" on that first speech... that was the first and last time it happened because she was primed, rehearsed, and ready. It's her one trick, and she kept doing it over and over. Jeez... that's no real praise... GWB had a very successful presidency! Not successful for the people of the USA, but it was hella successful for Bush and his cronies! Perspective is everything.

Same thing with Beck... there is no doubt a reason for his framing this issue in this manner, and we don't need it spelled out because it will become apparent. The only people shocked are Beck's dwindling fan base.

This just in.

Tea baggers stunned to hear that beck supports Obama administration
