Turkey and Glenn Beck

http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2013/06/03/188287457/in-turkey-protesters-say-prime-minister-has-gone-too-far#comment-918301201

Today while in the car I flipped on Glenn Beck for a few
minutes. That's about all I can usually take. He was ranting about how these
riots in Turkey are the result of an alliance between militant Islam and the
extreme Left. They're doing it in our country too!

Marxist Muslims? He didn't say those words but he certainly
throws around the terms. He uses words that don't mean what he thinks they mean.

I remember Gingrich alluded to the AKP (Turkey's ruling party) during the primary
debates...oh, very bad. Ataturk is one of his heroes. I bet that earned points
with the Syriac and Armenian communities. I'm afraid these people are only
demonstrating that they know next to nothing about Turkish society or history.
