From Newsone.com:

Glenn Beck compared Obama’s America to “the damn Planet of the Apes,” Thursday during a rant against the president’s praise for the AFL-CIO.

Beck made the comparison while trying to blame union support of strong pensions for the nation’s high unemployment rate. He doesn’t like that former SEIU president Andy Stern sits on the president’s panel on deficit reduction.

The segment’s accompanying online article omits the Fox News host’s Planet of the Apes comparison.
