This has been on Crooks and Liars for a week but I just came across it and was curious about fellow DUers' take on this...


Was Beck's anonymous 'Concerned Parent' actually just a blacked-out Chris Wallace? Inquiring minds want to know ...

Continuing his Anita Dunn jihad -- in fact, he devoted nearly his entire hour yesterday to attacking Dunn speciously -- Glenn Beck featured a segment with an anonymous "Concerned Parent" who actually attended the high-school commencement ceremony at which Dunn delivered her now-notorious "Mao" remarks. To protect his identity from the evil White House thugs who no doubt would brutalize the poor fellow, they altered his voice and showed him only in silhouette.

But John Aravosis http://www.americablog.com/2009/10/is-foxs-chris-wallace-anonymous.html">noted a particular family resemblance between this silhouette and a familiar profile at Fox "News"

Well, today America's favorite sociopath had a super duper double secret "anonymous" parent on to complain about a graduation speech that Ms. Dunn gave a while back. The thing is, when you look at the alleged parent, who was speaking from FOX's Washington, DC bureau, he sure looks an awful lot like FOX's own Chris Wallace. Check out the screen capture above from the TV. I posted a normal photo of Wallace to the left, and one in which I scrunched his head to the right (since the anonymous parent looks like they scrunched the video of his head, to further disguise him). Is it just me, or are those trademark ears and helmet-head hair just a little too similar to Chris Wallace's?



That's always fun speculation. But then Richard Wolffe of Newsweek went on Countdown with Keith Olbermann last night and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2j-bIbd3dOU">pointed out that there was more than just a resemblance:

Wolffe: Look at how this video has just popped up about Anita Dunn and her graduation ceremony of her own son. You know, this video, which was not available for public record, happened to pop up on the Glenn Beck show. And it's the same school where Chris Wallace spoke the year before because his kids also went there.

Was that coincidence, or is Fox determined to take this to another level? That's not about news, it's about personal attacks. Look, they may enjoy it for all sorts of commercial reasons. But it goes way beyond the commercial aspect here. There is an unholy jihad going on.

Someone needs to ask Chris Wallace if he is Beck's "Concerned Parent." Just, you know, to clear things up.

1. I take my lead from Rush: I don't know this is Wallace
I choose to believe it is. I know he believes this stuff and I heard him say it before.

2. Someone should pitch shift the voice back down an octave

3. I find it hard to believe
that a journalist of such pedigree would deliver such an obviously interest-conflicted anecdote on national TV, on his own network no less.
