'Reformed' Dirtbag Glenn Beck Foreshadowing Fox Ouster? »
Posted By Progressive 4 months ago in Political Opinion
Beck may have reached a new low last night when he implied President Obama’s plans to use AmeriCorps make him the equivalent of a fascist dictator, Gawker reports. One guest, Vets for Freedom vice chairman David Bellavia, fanned the flames by saying, “I’m not comparing my president to Saddam Hussein or Hitler,” then promptly comparing Obama’s plans to Hussein’s creation of a group of loyalists in 1991.
“You said, ‘I’m not comparing,’ but you are,” Beck responded. “This is what Hitler did with the SS. He had his own people, he had the brownshirts. This is what Saddam Hussein—so, you are comparing that.” The Fox News host later insisted, “I’m not suggesting anything, I’m asking questions.” Beck's resigned conclusion: “This is what I've been warning for a very long time.”

While Glenn Beck seems increasingly unhinged of late, the dog days of August are doing wonders for his ratings. Beck posted his second-highest viewership ever Wednesday, attracting more than 3 million viewers for the hour. The boycott of Beck by major advertisers like Wal-Mart and Spring (over his remarks that Obama has a "deep seated hatred of white people") seems to only have stoked his fire. He has also been helped by a plug from Sarah Palin, who urged people to watch his program in a post on her Facebook page.

That's because you have the hate group (racist Republicans) that love to hear anything degrading about this president. There will never be any bipartisanship unless this hate talk from these irresponsible talk show host stops. They have the same tone as the old KKK from the south except now it's accepted by the radical right.

Will the Republican lies ever cease? Beck corrected himself later in the show and you listen to Glen Becks lies and repeat them but never heard the correction.

Fact
"For FY 2010, the president requested less than two billion dollars for Americorps' parent agency, the Corporation for National and Community Service, and congress appropriated $90 million less than he asked for.
Half a trillion dollars for Americorps would put the agency in the same league as the Pentagon."

I love how they make it out that Liberals will be the gun toting fascists- when it has always been the Right Wing extremists toting the guns and attempting to shut down democracy for fascism. Beck will get these nut-jobs all fired up to attack people working for social justice.

This post reminds me of Bush's 'Bring it on' speech. Scary. -

He would be some of the best comedy on the air if the loony cons didn't take him so seriously. He's a bigger train wreck that Wily Cayote.

That's the icons of reactionary thought - a drunk, a pill popper limpdick, an entertainment reporter, & a nutty Hanutty.
