If you can't win, then wish that we all lose...

Treasonous Glenn Beck and Michael Scheuer WANT and WISH For Another Terrorist Attack in the U.S.

This is what they have come too, wishing death on American citizens on American soil to advance their adgenda. If the American people wanted 4 more years of Bush and fear-mongering they would have elected McCain...give it a rest.
