Glenn Beck Sells Tee Shirts Calling John Roberts A Coward | After yesterdays Supreme Court ruling upholding the individual mandate of the Affordable Care Act, conservative politicians turned on Chief Justice John Roberts for siding with liberal justices and ruling the mandate constitutionally sound. Critics of the decision even edited his Wikipeida page to call him a chief traitor and coward, and suggested his epilepsy medicine cause cognitive problems. Conservative commentator Glenn Beck got in on the action, labeling the chief justice the Dread Pirate Roberts and quickly setting up his online store to sell a tee shirt with Robertss face and the word coward below above it. Heres a picture of the shirt, on sale for a mere $30:

We want to draw as much attention to these antics as possible.
In fact, I would love for all of the media to submit a request for comment to Roberts.

Who the HELL is even going to know who that is? The average KFC muncher knows Judge Judy, at best.

I thought after Fox dropped him like a hot potato after that weird rally of his, he was relegated to the dustbins of Macerenaland.

I can't imagine anyone more cowardly than Whiny Beck. Who would want to share a fox hole with him?
