The sweetness of irony

Glenn Beck, riding once again on the Mendacity Express, has been supposedly decrying violence (while also attacking liberals, as per usual). Today on his website, an image of his plea against violence ran right next to an image of him holding a handgun, finger on the trigger (screenshot above).

The image was placed there by a random image generator (which loads any one of many different images into that spot, meaning that different visitors to that or other pages may see different images). The screenshot above was posted on Twitter by StopBeck (who captured it personally). It isn’t photoshopped; sometimes the truth provides more than enough entertainment value.

Charles Johnson reported on Little Green Footballs that this particular background image has now been deleted from Beck’s site, which was the responsible thing to do. Funny, but responsible, nevertheless.

Ah irony, thy flavour is sweet…
