As Media Matters noted back in 2005, Glenn Beck has professed his hatred for the “9/11 victims' families” which is perhaps what caught the attention of ThinkProgress during a recent broadcast of Beck's new Fox News show:

ThinkProgress notes:

Yesterday on his Fox News television show, Glenn Beck professed his deep concern for Beverly Eckert, a 9/11 widow who died in Thursday night's plane crash in Buffalo. “After the attacks, she became a vocal activist for families of 9/11 victims," Beck said in praising Eckert. “She pushed for the 9/11 Commission. She demanded answers from the government, and helped win the passage of the Intelligence Reform law.” David Neiwert recalls Beck's earlier screed against the families of 9/11 victims:

"You know, it took me about a year to start hating the 9/11 victims' families. It took me about a year. Um, and I had such compassion for them and I really, you know, I wanted to help them, and I was behind — let's give them money, let's get them started, and all of this stuff. And I really didn't — all the 3,000 victims' families, I don't hate all of them, I hate about, probably about ten of them. But when I see 9/11 victim family, you know, on television, or whatever, I'm just like, 'Oh, shut up.' I'm so sick of them. Because they're always complaining. And we did our best for them. And again, it's only about ten."
