BECK: When they're done with Fox, and you decide to speak out on something. The old, "first they came for the Jews, and I wasn't Jewish." When you have a question, and you believe that something should be asked, they're a -- totally fine with you right now; they have no problem with you.

When they're done with Fox and talk radio, do you really think they're going to leave you alone if you want to ask a tough question? Do you really think that a man who has never had to stand against tough questions and has as much power as he does -- do you really believe after he takes out the number one news network, do you really think that this man is then not going to turn on you? That you and your little organization is going to cause him any hesitation at all not to take you out?

If you believe that, you should open up a history book, because you've missed the point of many brutal dictators. You missed the point on how they always start.

I'm trying to work out if this is just a very offensive case of Godwin's law, or of he's really pulling out all the stops to try and get some unhinged nutcase to attempt an attack on President Obama. Whichever it is, it's a very dangerous game he's playing.

3. Herr Beck
and his Nazi propaganda network are projecting. I wonder if the punk ass Beck goes out in the street unaccompanied?
It's the Rove strategy of accusing others of what you're doing.

4. Unhinged nutcase-ness
obviously starts with Bubba-eck himself here. Of course he knows he won't earn his big bucks actually doing what he does seem hellbent to incite someone else to do. The creepiness and danger-factor of this beckthing makes my skin crawl.

And, yet again, the constant theme of blabicans everywhere, attributing to Obama the very thing that defined the * administration (..dictators. ...how they always start.).

Arrrgh!

6. What total crock they'd have a point if they actually were "news" just bunch of agitators...
Edited on Tue Oct-13-09 11:00 AM by GivePeaceAchance
No-one is coming for CNN or MSNBC, Faux is not being persecuted as much as they beg and plead otherwise, just people have recognized them for who they are a disinformation machine. Democracy can only thrive on the truth.

10. "...many brutal dictators."
I really can't fathom how anyone in this country would believe any president could turn his term into a dictatorship.

During the Bush years, it was mentioned the same way as now. I didn't believe it then, I won't believe it now.

The United States Armed Forces will never become party to a takeover of our government.

Do the inbred rednecks who repeat this crap really believe that liberals would just sit idly by? These same rednecks who had no problem with Bush taking away some of their rights to privacy 'for the good of the country'?

Beck, Rush, et al really are bordering on hate speech and inciting violence with this type of rhetoric.

17. I am hoping you are correct.
A coup was actually plotted in FDR's first term by a few wealthy "activists" (fascists) and, strangely, the American Legion. They wanted Marine Geberal Smedley Butler to lead it. He said no and, instead, exposed the plot.

I hope that our luck can hold.

14. Wow, Glenn Beck is a reall whack-a-doddle, no?
Although I do think his broadcasting irresponsibility and hate tactics warrants an end identical to that of the oh-so-similar Howard Beale.

Now, Faye Dunaway?

(Holocaust? I know what you're thinking, but the Jews were innocent victims. Glenn's been asking for it since Day 1 with his regularly televised lies and hate speech.)

All I'm waiting for is their main cash cow to commit suicide or for Murdoch to die already!

18. Wow!
As a Jew and believer as many Jews are that social justice is an inherent quality in our spiritual expression, I am repulsed and disgusted by the constant use of our name to promote the very opposite of our deep seated beliefs. The right wing likes to drag Israel and the Jewish name around as their pet cause to suit their whims. All the while belittling and demeaning us at every turn.

These people are sick.

Let's all start calling BecKKK that. It's painfully obvious he saw how well Rush was doing at his shtick and decided to give it a try.

22. the fundamental flaw in his argument is...
Edited on Tue Oct-13-09 03:02 PM by BREMPRO
that fox news and talk radio do NOT actually represent peoples views- they take the kernel of honest patriotic liberty and freedom loving people and twist it,outright lie, brainwash and influence people to believe things that are not true. It's propaganda, not journalism, or a reflection of true unadulterated sentiment among americans. IT's the "Selfish" party's corporate run megaphone. LOUDER LOUDER< SCARIER SCARIER!!! HIDE UNDER YOUR BED< THEY ARE COMING TO GET YOU!!

and REALLY, Fox=the Jews of the holocaust? that's REALLY disgraceful, not to mention ridiculous inflammatory solipsistic hyperbole. NO COMPARISON> NONE!

23. He conflates "takes out" with "criticizes."
Nobody CAME for anybody. He reminds me of emotional abusers who are facile with words but use them to razzle-dazzle rather than to make sense or to solve a problem. "He WALKED across the lawn. And who ELSE walked? Adolph Hilter walked, didn't he? You can't deny it! ALL fascists walked, on two legs, just the way he walks. Can you see it? And what ELSE do fascists dictators do? They control, don't they? Get it? First they walk, then they control. I'm not saying all walkers control, but once one has walked, how do you know he won't control? Can we take that chance?"

He's dangerous.

28. Glenn, please, shut up.
Or at least go out and get a hood. This stuff is dumb. Did you ever comment about Bush's relations with the media? Of course not, because you're a dumb, partisan crank working for the network that has an agenda in destroying Obama. You're giving your critics ammo, you stupid schumck.
