Glenn Beck: Obama planning to "kill" millions in U.S.A., says he's may take teabags, flee to Canada

Love it or leave it, asshole!



Last week, Glenn Beck warned that the Obama administration is led by “Marxist revolutionaries” who are preparing to kill millions of people. Today, he announced that he is considering escaping the Marxist plot…by moving to Canada.

Beck recounted a conversation he had with co-host Pat Gray about fleeing the country: “Pat said to me a little while ago, ‘If you’re serious, I might take you up on that move to Canada thing.’ I mean I really sincerely thought this weekend, you know, maybe it’s time to move to Canada.”

“Maybe it’s time to move to Canada because these people are not screwing around,” Beck said. “You don’t think they’re going to scoop people up? They will. They’re revolutionaries. Look at everything they do, they’re revolutionaries, pure and simple.”

by not being scooped up, he shows that they aren't scooping. so the only scooping going on is his shoveling of s**t.

Yet this same supposedly all-powerful government can't stop one obese, middle-aged guy in Texas wearing cammie pajammies from exposing it all, and can't get him off the air?


Makes perfect sense

Just like the fan that was stopped on his way to shoot up the Tides Foundation in 2010.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/07/30/AR2010073003254.html


Late on a Saturday night two weeks ago, an unemployed carpenter packed his mother's Toyota Tundra with guns and set off for San Francisco with a plan to kill progressives.

When California Highway Patrol officers stopped him on an interstate in Oakland for driving erratically, Byron Williams, wearing body armor, fired at police with a 9mm handgun, a shotgun and a .308-caliber rifle with armor-piercing bullets, Oakland police say. Shot and captured after injuring two officers, Williams, on parole for bank robbery, told investigators that he wanted "to start a revolution" by "killing people of importance at the Tides Foundation and the ACLU," according to a police affidavit. His mother, Janice, told the San Francisco Chronicle that her son had been watching television news and was upset by "the way Congress was railroading through all these left-wing agenda items."

17. and the media has never called Beck out on that one
Mon Oct 7, 2013, 06:34 PM

As clownish as Beck is, he's extremely dangerous, because he'll say anything to rile up his idiot audience and has little sense of dignity, responsibility or caring about the consequences.

Here's a guy who's been endorsed by top figures of the GOP for his work, gets published and distributed by companies like Clear Channel, has a regular spot on FOX's top primetime show is friends with tea party favorites, from Palin to Huckabee to Cruz. He goes on the air and tells his audience in all seriousness that the president of the United States is planning to commit mass murder on the nation's citizens.

And no one in the Republican Party has a problem with him for doing so.

If we had a real media, the GOP would be called out for any and all association with him and asked to denounce him.

Instead, we get a bunch of hand-wringing, "both sides do it" excuse making and false equivalence.

They also refused anti-war ads several times and held picnics with jet flyovers to support Bush's war in Iraq.

Fox "news" is running their little segments on CC radio blaming Democrats for the shutdown but the publicons can bully CNN and other networks into canceling anything that might be seen as favorable towards Hillary. Yet the dems are silent and will continue to treat Fox and Clear Channel like legitimate news sources.

36. Beck hosted a series of pro-war rallies for Clear Channel
Mon Oct 7, 2013, 07:24 PM
Oct 2013

The so-called "Rally for America" events, where he would use soldiers as a prop back drop and get folks like Lee Greenwood to sing while Glenn bashed the Dixie Chicks, war protesters and anyone who would dare even slightly disagree with his idol Dubya (who addressed the events via video)

The rallies accomplished their purpose: The promotion of Glenn Beck.

Through his Iraq war cheerleading, he was able to rise out of the pack of Limbaugh wannabes and become a national name. The "lib'rul" CNN hired him for his first TV gig shortly after the wrap-up of the events.

25. He has been suicidal and his mother and step brother committed suicide:
Mon Oct 7, 2013, 06:52 PM
Oct 2013

a Coast Guard investigator speculated that she could have intentionally jumped overboard.[26] Beck has described his mother's death as a suicide in interviews during television and radio broadcasts.[26][27]

After their mother's death, Beck and his older sister moved to their father's home in Bellingham, Washington,[28] where Beck graduated from Sehome High School in June 1982.[29] Beck also regularly vacationed with his maternal grandparents, Ed and Clara Janssen, in Iowa.[30] In the aftermath of his mother's death and subsequent suicide of his stepbrother, Beck has said he used "Dr. Jack Daniel's" to cope. At 18, following his high school graduation, Beck relocated to Provo, Utah, and worked at radio station KAYK. Feeling he "didn't fit in", Beck left Utah after six months,[31] taking a job at Washington, D.C.'s WPGC in February 1983.[28]

Adulthood

"You've never met a more flawed guy than me."

—? Glenn Beck[32]


While working at WPGC, Beck met his first wife, Claire.[33] In 1983, the couple married and had two daughters, Mary and Hannah. Mary developed cerebral palsy as a result of a series of strokes at birth in 1988.[33] The couple divorced in 1994 amid Beck's struggles with substance abuse. He was a recovering alcoholic and drug addict,[34] was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, and has described himself as a "borderline schizophrenic."[35][36][37]

By 1994, Beck was suicidal, and imagined shooting himself to the music of Kurt Cobain.[36] He credits Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) with helping him achieve sobriety. He said he stopped drinking alcohol and smoking cannabis in November 1994, the same month he attended his first AA meeting.[36] Beck later said that he had gotten high every day for the previous 15 years, since the age of 16.[28]



I normally don't put much stock in what an alcoholic drug addict who got high every day for 15 years would say but when they assert that they are "borderline schizophrenic" I have to give them some points for self awareness and expertise in mental illness conditions.

It sounds like he still is (borderline) schizophrenic. I'd feel sorry for him, if wasn't so incredibly hateful.
Apparently his self awareness does not cover blaming others for his unhappiness.

Because, for once, the world is not revolving around them and their paranoid conquests, they start talking about bunkers and violence and claiming the left is going to kill them. Last I checked, it is the right wing that kills people they do not agree with (and as many children that might be nearby too, they call it "collateral damage&quot , not the left.

And no, I do not believe that the bulk of the repub base, however misinformed or uneducated they may be, are on the same level of insanity and inanity as Beck and others of his ilk.

A peace officer, without a warrant, may take a person into custody if the officer: (1) has reason to believe and does believe that:
(A) the person is mentally ill; and
(B) because of that mental illness there is a substantial risk of serious harm to the person or to others unless the person is immediately restrained
[A] written application for the emergency detention of another person ...must state:
(1) that the applicant has reason to believe and does believe that the person evidences mental illness; (2) that the applicant has reason to believe and does believe that the person evidences a substantial risk of serious harm to himself or others;
(3) a specific description of the risk of harm;
(4) that the applicant has reason to believe and does believe that the risk of harm is imminent unless the person is immediately restrained;
(5) that the applicant's beliefs are derived from specific recent behavior, overt acts, attempts, or threats
(6) a detailed description of the specific behavior, acts, attempts, or threats; and
(7) a detailed description of the applicant's relationship to the person whose detention is sought.
