Shuster: Fire Department Should Let Glenn Beck's House Burn Down If It Ever Catches Fire

MSNBC's David Shuster on Monday said that if Fox News host Glenn Beck's house were to catch fire, the fire department should let it burn down.

Such was discussed on Stephanie Miller's radio program in a segment hysterically about so-called crazy things said by conservatives.

After Shuster characteristically demeaned the likes of Rush Limbaugh and Dick Cheney, Miller noted, "Glenn Beck actually said that the President is dividing the nation by reacting too quickly to the Haiti situation."

Shuster jumped all over this setup like a grizzly on a salmon (audio embedded below the fold with partial transcript, h/t Naked Emperor News):

DAVID SHUSTER: Well, you know, maybe I, you know, God forbid, you know, Glenn Beck's house should ever collapse because of some disaster, or burn up because of some fire. If that's his attitude, then maybe the fire department ought to think twice about putting out the fire at his house, and he can be on his own and see if his radio listeners want to come and, and, you know, with the hoses or something.  

Honestly, where does all this hatred come from?
