Glenn Beck appears to be in two minds over the reports of bullets hitting the White House. On Wednesday he indicated that he found the news laughable.

The shock news that the Secret Service had found bullets had hit the White House broke on Tuesday and a suspect was taken into custody a day later.

But Beck was amazed that anyone had even made the attempt, since he had personally seen the bullet proof glass installed in the building.

'Now, picture you shooting bullet-proof glass from the distance the White House is from the fence with a hand gun,' Beck said on his own network, in a rant that was repotted by the Huffington Post. 'That would bounce off the bullet-proof glass, pretty significant glass.'

What started him most was that the suspect was still at large.

'Imagine this, you, high powered-rifle, in your car, you run, you get away, that was on Friday, it's now Wednesday and you're still at-large. Excuse me. Have I slipped through some sort of wormhole?'

Without revealing how he had come to the conclusion, Beck then claimed he believed the suspect was a member of Occupy Wall Street movement.

'I don't know who this guy is other than he's from Idaho, has serious mental issues and has been hanging out with the Occupy Wall Street guys.'

Pittsburghkid,you are declaring yourself a right win nut, 'we are going to take over in 2012'? May the good lord help us if that transpires... Michelle Bachmann, Sarah Palin, Rick Perry, can't remember the name of that whackjob woman who ran for conress in 2010 in Delaware. If these people gain power we are sc****d.

That man had no chance of hitting anyone inside the White House. The man should have been taken in for psychological examination, and then taken to a funny farm. But where would the fun in that be. We have to find a right wing connection, which there was none. So the story will fade away, and the Lamesteam Media will go on looking for right wing conspiracies. Have you noticed, that the right wing nuts have been very good? Why? Because we are going to take over in 2012.

Once again what has this to do with Ireland? This nut was hanging out with the OWS crowd and how do you get close enough to the Whitehouse with a rifle to take the shot and then get away?

I agree. Why give any publicity to this nut job? No one cares what he rants about.

Why does Irish Central see the need to pay attention to what this deranged hatemonger has to say? Can you please stick with Irish and Irish-American related stories! Thank you.

Glenn is still a Rupert Murdock's puppet. Of course Murdock would like to discredit Occupy Wall Street, He's the one percent and when you look at his behavior in England, a little smearing is nothing. Beck reminds me of the Peter Finch charactor in "Network".
