Glenn Beck claimed that the Republican Party is out to politically assassinate him, Sarah Palin, and Michele Bachmann! Beck Speaks from his underground sewer lair.

2. It's over for him!
If he is calling out his own party. Just a matter of time. So sad. NOT!

His picture is in the dictionary next to the definition.

5. We can no longer be surprised Hitler came to power
All those times you wondered how could Hitler come to power and do the things he did without the people rising up against him and wondered how could this happen. Well, we are witnessing the same exact usurping of power and dumbing down the masses here in America with the Republican Party. Not that they are equal to Hitler or that they are going to kill 6 million innocents, but the theories to gain power are the same.

8. Just take a look at the modern GOP if you ever wondered how the Gemans
followed Hitler.

See Iraq.

10. Let's not be too hasty...
Give the Republicans the kind of power Hitler had and maybe they will start herding people into death camps; muslims, "socialists", homosexuals... Harder to pull off today than in 1942, what with the internet and all, but if one of these neocons were to gain absolute power, I wouldn't say impossible.

(BTW- 6 million is only the number of Jews. The actual number of human beings killed in the Holocaust is estimated at 10-12 million.)

12. I used to think "It can't happen here."
But lately I have come to believe that the misinformation machine is very good at what it does and many, many people are conditioned to fall into step for the fascists. It could happen here, and may, unless people step up and speak up.

26. A lot of folks think like that . . .
Unfortunately, far too many people live under the illusion that "it can't happen here." What these folks seem to forget, or perhaps were never aware of, is the fact that there were a large number of people in this country who sympathized with Hitler, some of them very prominent (Ambassador Joseph Kennedy among them). A lot of people are drawn to authoritarianism, sadly enough.

16. Yes. I always felt the German
people were somehow responsible for the rise of Hitler. Now I feel I was uncharitable in this. I can now understand how an evil ruler could be foisted upon a population of unsuspecting citizens.

22. unsuspecting citizens.
Unsuspecting and desperate. Remember how Germany was between the wars? A wheelbarrow full of money for 1 loaf of stale bread. Hitler promised to put them "back on top"... and he DID!... for a while at least.

What are we hearing now from our politicians? How the GOP is gonna get" the country back".

As unemployment rises and things get worse (notice how the GOP does nothing to help... see how they are working tirelessly to create jobs, jobs, jobs! NOT!) the populous gets more and more primed for a takeover.

24. I am not sure all the followers of beck, o'reilly etc. are unsuspecting.
I think many of them are well aware of the fact that these people are hate filled bigots who would love to shred our constitution.

28. Some are, no doubt.
But the right wing and their mouthpiece Fox News preys on the ignorance of their viewers. They also foster this ignorance to bolster the impact of their message. And it is working phenomenally well.

Where would the far right wing coporatists be without the ignorance of the people? Millions of German people, in their ignorance, loved and admired Hitler for his "goodness".

9. Excuses?
How about this is exactly what all the experts predicted would happen once the Tea Party had served their purpose.

17. I think they are put out
there as a distraction so we won't focus where the real damage is taking place. What those three say is so completely outrageous that it almost has to serve some ulterior motive.

19. Ah, but there's a third party! A refuge for Glenn, a savior...
The Tea Party! Outside of Right and Left. They will protect him. They've got all the guns and they're willing to shot 'em. Not like those whimpy republicans!

18. Please, please, please, label these things as spoofs or comedies
with Beck it is so hard to tell the difference anyway, and I like to skip the spoof/joke videos in the interest of time. Or are you trying to sucker us into watching your video against our will. Too much of this is going on. PLEASE. It is just a matter of manners, IMHO.

Edited on Thu Feb-10-11 03:22 PM by AlbertCat
Well, we can hope & dream, can't we?



So, Glennie, Babe, you and your ilk have served your purpose and will now be discarded.... like the Fundies (is there a difference?), you've been used. The GOP has said as much.

25. On this one, Glenn, we're just following Nixon's advice . . .
. . .which was: "Never kill a man who is in the process of trying to commit suicide."

27. Hey Glenn Baby welcome to reality.
Do you really think that the uber reich, people like the Kochs and Bushs are going to let the rabble or TeePeeers take over their party?

You have been fighting for the wrong side all this time, suckah.
