Glenn Beck claims slavery was not really bad until government got involved

Glenn Beck continues to give his loyal listeners American history lessons, and the education they receive from "Beck University" grows more extreme each day. On Friday Beck went on a long rant "explaining" how health care reform is supposedly enslaving the American public. Then, in an attempt to explain the concept, Beck compares health care reform to the American system of slavery. According to Beck, slavery was not really evil and bad until the government stepped in to regulate it. It was at that point that owning people as property and all the other injustices of slavery became something to abhor.

In the audio clip (available by clicking on the video to the left), Beck says that slavery "started with seemingly innocent ideas." Beck goes as far as to say that the evil of slavery did not start with the Atlantic slave trade, but instead it "started in a court room, and then it went to the legislatures." Beck then warns his audience that health care reform might be "creating slaves" just like slaves were supposedly created in the past.

Geeeeeeeez, I opt for suturing it shut. What a complete asshole. What's next with this piece of shit? Child porn is OK because child labor laws harm the consitutional right of children to work?

What a total waste of skin....:grr:

I'd also like to have a televised debate. I've been on TV. The cameras won't scare me. I just need one of my guys to control the microphones, and not one of his lackeys.

or whatever you do to lock up the insane

And he frequently jumbles up his "facts."

Last week, on his radio show, when he was talking about the religious tests by Pew(?) he came to the question on Maimonides, and he completely screwed up the pronunciation of the name. It would be funny, but there are apparently people in his audience who think he's a well-informed person.

Tell me another one, Glenn Peckerhead.

Since you find it so appealing, you are welcome to come on over and get fitted for some personal chains and a scraper.

Tell him you'll keep his slavery a secret. No one else needs to know. That might lead to government interference and your slavery arrangement would turn from "innocent" to "evil."

Tell him you won't sully an innocent idea by having some government DA getting involved, since that would be too much government regulation.

Can I be his "overseer?" Let me know and I'll bring my gun and whip!

He really needs to go back to antiquity and do comparative analysis of institutions of slavery. Actually, a study of the origins of slavery could be fascinating... too bad it would require actual scholarship and years of effort... only the 'liberal elites' do that...

Thanks Beckerhead, We appreciate your support of the Democratic party by saying the most fucked dumb shit EVER and sending people our way, that also applies to all the pukes who run their mouth and nothing but insanity and disconnect falls out.

He's added step 1.a.: Replace all memories and word definitions with TeaPublican lies, misrepresentations, and just made up sh*t.

Remember, when a Republicon says "The American People" what they mean is "The RICH Americans"
When they say "truth" they really mean "their truth"
When they say "prosperity" they really mean "all money belongs to the rich, the poor and middle class can F themselves"
When they say "small businesses" listen closely. They also state that these businesses earn 50% of all small business income. These "small businesses" are classified as small only because there are a small number of OWNERS. Only the "top 3% of these so-called small businesses" earn 50% of all small business income in the nation -- it is these 3% that the Republicans focus on.

Beck makes millions of dollars a year to spew his hate and newspeak nonsense. Does anyone honestly think he gives a flying sh(t about you and your measely, tiny little concerns?!?

That is truly reprehensible.

telling a whopper. It's time for baby Beck to be told the Little Boy Who Cried Wolf story.

:shrug:

dumb, dumb. Because we all remember the "good ole days" of benign slavery.

slavery is so innocent.

I suppose Glenn Beck's preferred mode of trans-Atlantic travel would be by slaveship where he and other "travelers" are stacked up like firewood in the hull of the ship, lying in their own excrement, with a large portion dying before reaching the ship's destination.

what desperate spin will they think of next?

got involved and screwed everything up for everybody. Nowadays, it's gotten so you can hardly brand a person, or whip a person to death, without somebody taking offense. Thanks for reminding us of America's lost greatness, Glenn!

You know what's not in the bible?


Black Presidents.




Tell it like it is, Beck!

I can't imagine what innocent ideas he is referring to.

Someone should slap some chains on Becko and see how "innocent" it is.

Really, seriously, not only is it gross, but what he's saying doesn't make any sense. Are Beckheads really so stupid and uninformed they can't see that Beck is just pulling this stuff out of his ass?

This is exactly the kind of thing that makes it impossible for me to let go of my bias that liberals are much smarter than conservatives.

Beck says that slavery "started with seemingly innocent ideas."

God help us.
