Steve Lopez Takes Out the Trash

Once again, Steve Lopez illustrates why Angelenos can’t wait for the eventual demise of the newspaper known as the LA Dog Trainer.

In his latest hit piece, Lopez attacks Glenn Beck for crying:

My journey deep into the heart of Glenn Beck country began when I caught a glimpse of the sobbing commentator on TV while waiting for a plane. I thought he was a televangelist at first, but it seems that he is instead a true patriot who can't suffer the reckless destruction of his beloved country by a racist African American president, among others, without tears.

My wife and I happened to watch that segment and saw the tears. At the time, Beck was speaking about his daughter who, as a baby, suffered a series of 15 strokes that left her with more disabilities than can be imagined by most people. Despite those unthinkable challenges, Beck spoke about his love for his daughter and how she had taught him what love is about, despite her remarkable disabilities. As Beck spoke, it was difficult not to be moved by his passion and the sanctity of life.

A quick search on YouTube and Google will give you an idea of the creative ways that Lopez' depraved ilk hate Glenn Beck and those who watch him. After all, dehumanizing someone is what thugs like Lopez have done for centuries. Words like the N-word and fetus are used to dehumanize their targets – to make it easier to kill blacks and unborn children under euphemisms like “states rights” and “choice”.

Lopez is a bit more sophisticated, however, using his cheesy column to dehumanize Beck and conservatives in general who think that unborn children are worth protecting and are, therefore, socially depraved. Lopez' YouTube and LA Times subscribers needed Lopez’ article because epithets like Child-lover and Baby-lover are not nearly as effective as N_____R-lover or Jew-lover once were.

The fact that Lopez’ column remains on the front page of the LA Times reminds me why I won’t subscribe until Rupert Murdock makes Glenn Beck its managing editor. But don’t worry, Steve, when you get dumped I’ll gladly hire you to haul my trash to the dump - you're familiar with trash and it's close to home!
