Beck: Election was really a coup

Though he's been losing advertisers due to a boycott lately, Fox News' Glenn Beck hasn't let that stop him. Instead, he's doubled down on his usual act, hosting a full week of over-the-top conspiracism last week, and has been rewarded with some pretty stellar ratings.

Now, he's gone even further. On his radio show Monday, Beck had this to say:

Let me give you the last piece of evidence that there is a revolution going on, and it is coming. It is -- there is a revolution, and they think they can get away with it quietly.

They think they -- and they -- they -- you know what? At this point, gang, I'm not sure, they may be able to because they are so far ahead of us. They know what they're dealing against; most of America does not yet. Most of America doesn't have a clue as to what's going on. There is a coup going on. There is a stealing of America, and the way it is done, it has been done through the -- the guise of an election, but they lied to us the entire time.

I think he's really lost it this time.

See, if power was "stolen" from Beck and the elites he loves so much, then they're perfectly within their rights to steal it back. Now, of course, stealing elections is pretty unamerican and very much against the constitution, but older statutes can be appealed to, such as "turnabout is fair play." If Beck can convince his numbskull audience that they're the victims of a colossal theft, they can be commanded to reappropriate power to its rightful owners: the GOPosaur party of Rush Limbaugh, Newt Gingrich and Dick Cheney.

n/t

website making "replicants" of original posts!

Democracy was supposed to be broken.

:shrug:

Just thought I'd put his observations in context. :eyes:

in 2000? 2004? Which was which? :shrug:

As we continue to "dumb down" as a populace, we're exponentially more susceptible to charismatic "leaders".

Beck is betting that there are enough people that want to listen to him to justify his salary. It's that simple.

Because he certainly wouldn't be saying such a thing about a President who won in an electoral landslide.

We had a revolution, and the result was electing Obama fair and square.

We are on to other revolutions now.

It's not stealing when you take back that which was taken from you. BushCo took a lot; we're taking back America.

I'm sick of him, and his unwashed minority.

Here Glen, have at this.

He really is only a Freeper in a suit... none of which can spell their way out of a paper bag.

stole the presidency and I don't remember him saying anything about that. He did rail a bit later against the government getting involved in the Terri Schiavo case, IIRC. But nothing about bush stealing the election. I guess now that his $millions are being paid by Obama's opposition he's all about dreaming up an Obama coup while still not recognizing the actual one that took place in 2000.

My question: What is his playbook and can we learn it and/or get him to do whatever he's doing to Limbaugh, Fox and the other Wingnuts?

and they're propping up Baby Beck.

...when Bush took the Constitution in his hands, wadded it up and then threw
it in a meat grinder?

Bush and Co issued the Patriot Act--which actually does step on our rights
and erodes our democracy.

It was Bush that decided to illegally wiretap us and break the law by going
around the FISA courts. Bush didn't need to follow the law, he just needed to
listen in on our conversations.

It was Bush who stripped away Habeas Corpus.

It was Bush who violated the Geneva Conventions and decided to torture people.

Glenn Beck. STFU. You don't give a shit about the Constitution or about
democracy. You stood by--cheerleading every unConstitutional move that BushCo
made. You were FOR the democracy-eroding policies, before you were against them.

Glenn Beck is a dry-drunk clown who makes absolutely no sense.

Impossible cliche failures?

.... the 2000 election *was* a coup.

:hi:

It's happened.

:popcorn:

Remember the 2004 GOP Convention where people were mocking Kerry, a true war hero, by wearing band-aids with purple hearts on them while simultaneously cheering for 4 more years for two chicken hawks?
Saying anything bad about Bush trampling the Constitution made you unpatriotic.
Studies show that southern conservative states are far ahead of northern liberals on taking tax money, having children out of wedlock, pornography consumption, living together before marriage, and a host of other things bemoaned by conservatives, yet they're solid family-values types, and the north are godless tax-and-spend liberals.

And the reason they do this is they know what they're really like, but by projecting all their faults onto their opponents and doing it early, even if the other guy comes back with simple but insightful soundbites, easily digested by their reptilian brains that would convince normal folks of the truth, the Becks, Limbaughs, Hannities, et. al. can all say, "Oh, that's really mature. So-and-so, who we've already reported to you is a *fill-in-the-blank* is now saying our guy is a *fill-in-the-blank.* What is this grade school? Can't he even come up with something original?"

Beck and his ilk are going after the crazies because that's what the GOP has left. They're already still stunned that a liberal (by their standards) Black man is in charge that many of them are reduced to tears about it (go to youtube and look for the film Nancy Pelosi's daughter did about the election to see some Southern Bubbas crying over the prospect of a white man not being elected). Obama hasn't even had time to do much of anything, and from I've seen, a lot of things he's done has had a short term positive effect like Cash for Clunkers and even the bank bail-outs are bearing some fruit, but according to these nutjobs, he's probably had time to secretly go to every public school in the country to hold assemblies where he tries to turn everyone's children into homosexuals. "That's why Jimmy Joe Bob Reagan Clyde Jr. don't want to play no football this year! Obama dun turned him gay!"

Insane is a kind word for Beck

As long as he can get people to tune in that's all they care about.

Ignoring now that his advertisers have deserted him, is the best way to deal with him imho. I stopped watching CNN because they hired him. They kept him on too despite the fact that his audience was so small they were losing money. In the end they had to let him go and predictably he ended up on Fox.

The same thing will happen there as soon as people who do not like him, stop watching just to see what he's saying. That's what they want.

He's sick, and it's cruel to even look at him, just as it would be to stare at someone on the street who was clearly in need of help, not in need of being made a spectacle of.

I've been saying the same thing in every Glenn Beck thread. His show is a spectacle and his whole bit is fake. He only wants to make good entertainment so that people watch him. More incendiary = more viewers. Unfortunately, people actually believe him.

That's what they want.

I'm also hearing that the reason why Beck continues to run off at the mouth is because those advertisers have not pulled their advertising from Faux. They're simply not backing his show. As long as they continue to advertise on Fox in general, Beck comes out unscathed. That's why he continues on with this filth! He's not really being harmed at all by this.

although he hasn't figured out which letter is missing yet.

Goes together well with his word salads.

You know no cable network would dare to put Malloy on. Malloy certainly says stuff like this about the BFEE. And even most liberal radio is afraid to put Malloy on for fear they will be labeled.

But Beck has a gig on Faux!

And don't take this wrong, I'm not knocking Mike Malloy.

They really are trying to drive the left crazy with reversed illogical crap.

It is not working anymore Beck, give it up you are toast.

as was proven by the physical recount of ballots cast- al gore actually did have more votes cast for him in florida and was the real/legal winner of the state- and therefore of the general national election.

and vent away the noxious sewer gas? What's up with that project? I thought I contributed, but I can't find the link

that Karl Rove has a big influence on Beck these days.

And that's the problem with sideshow geeks like Beck -- the inflammatory speech riles up the lunatics. And potentially dangerous lunatics, at that.

An oup.

Get it right!

he is going to need a LOT of protection.

or its results.

There is a coup going on. There is a stealing of America, and the way it is done, it has been done through the -- the guise of an election, but they lied to us the entire time.

That could have been said any time from December 12, 2000 until January 20, 2009.

he's so lost he couldn't fined it with a compass and a map AND a GPS

:rofl:........................................................................................................................................:hi:

Putting a YouTube link that is presumably a video of Beck saying this or is something even remotely pertinent to the entirety of your post, and then it turning out to be some dumb ass music video.

Fail. It was a good, informative post, but that link at the end? Fucking FAIL.

Get a fucking sense of humor.

I don't care if he is laughing all the way to bank, or crying as the case may be, or if he believes every word he says. The end result is the same, a climate of fear and anxiety fomented to bring about some sort of revolution. Never mind it would be a revolution against the majority of Americans.

He is either nuts, or evil. Am I wrong in thinking the options are that black and white?
