Glenn Beck fears "a Reichstag moment, God forbid another 9/11...and power will be seized"

<snip>

Beck once went for an off-the-record talk with Bush. Would he go have a near-beer with President Barack Obama?

"Schmooz, no,'' Beck replies. "I respect the office of the president of the United States, no matter what I think about his policies. I feel like Ronald Reagan did about the Oval Office. You wear a jacket, respect for the office... I would go because I was asked by the president of the United States... Do I think we'd have a meaningful conversation? I know I would, because I speak directly... But I don't think he necessarily would.''

Few politicians, he says, talk straight.

One of Obama's own "czars'' has spoken favorably of the "revolution'' of Venezuela's Hugo Chavez - another "Marxist, or Communist or Fascist'' in the government -- Beck says. A "revolution'' that includes national control of the media? A "key is being turned'' in the government right now, Beck warns.

"I truly fear the groundwork -- this is so far beyond Obama,'' Beck says. "I want to do a special on who's on the other end of the side of the BlackBerry?, who's on the other end of the BlackBerry?... This is bigger than Obama.... I fear an event, I fear a Reichstag moment, God forbid another 9/11, something that will turn this machine on, and power will be seized and voices will be silenced. God help us all.''

1. we already had it - THE 9/11

[niyad]

2. "fears"??? more like encouraging, even demanding. . WHY isn't this SOB in jail for treason?

if anybody NOT a reichwingnut had said anything remotely similar when the boy king and cabal were in office--they would have invented something even worse than the black sites. yet, not only is he free--he is still on the air, spewing more hate and filth each and every day.

3. It looks like we might have another Alex Jones.

[Monk06]

20. Looks like? Alex Jones should sue Beck for stealing his schtick

FEMA prison camps, 911 Truther, Bilderburg Cultist

Beck stole the whole Jones script.

Replace Beck with Jones on FOX and the show would
sound exactly the same including the tears. Jones
is known for crying on his show too.

4. Yes glen, reagan wore a coat and tie in the oval office

WHEN HE ORDERED THE MURDER OF PRIESTS, NUNS AND CHILDREN IN CENTRAL AMERICA. He wore a coat and tie because he knew morons like you would be impressed. Reagan was a republican and a conservative, in other words he did not give a flying dog fuck about our country or its people.

5. Yeah, sure, Beck...

I feel like Ronald Reagan did about the Oval Office. You wear a jacket, respect for the office...

Wear suits and ties while you're planning to ram objects up the anuses of children in order to extract information from their horrified parents...

Yeah, sure, Beck...it's all about respect for "The Office." :eyes:

6. "Who's on the other end of the BlackBerry"? What's he talking about?

:shrug:

[subcomhd]

17. Maybe CHUCK Berry nt

[gratuitous]

7. So . . .

Is the Big Baby equating the Reichstag Fire with the 9/11 attack? Is he inadvertently saying something he ought not to be saying? Will we soon be treated to the spectacle of a "fearless journalist" whose life was "tragically cut short" in some sort of "accident"? I'm not saying, of course; but like Mr. Beck, just asking . . .

8. How many times do they have to dig up that shit about a jacket in the Oval Office

Yeah, Ronald Reagan looked good in a jacket, but he was an imbecile.

[VOX]

12. Really! Maybe by now the WH has "loaner" jackets, like some fancy restaurants do...

You just never know when you might forget the all-important jacket. :crazy:

[Javaman]

9. teh stupid, it burns!!! nt

[Swamp Rat]

10. Appointed President, 9-11, US Patriot Act, illegal wars/invasions, theft of treasury, militarized

police and mercenary forces, massive nationalistic propaganda, harsh treatment of brown/poor people (understatement), increased manipulation of religion to control people, denouncing citizens as traitors for not obeying.... hmmm....

[Odin2005]

11. Projection.

[CJCRANE]

13. He's copying this idea from "Loose Change 9/11: An American Coup".

Beck doesn't have an original thought in his head.

[VOX]

14. "Who's on the other end of the BlackBerry?" Um, someone else with a BlackBerry?

Just a wild guess. :crazy:

[CJCRANE]

15. "God help us all" is a line in the Watchmen trailer nt

[Ezlivin]

16. Maybe they can use Megan Fox in the 9/11 sequel

And I'm sure that Cheney would love to have a cameo.

[DainBramaged]

19. DID SOMEONE SAY MEGAN FOX?????

[icnorth]

18. This boy is in serious need

of a a few sessions on a couch with a nut cracker.

[kestrel91316]

21. Is Beck afraid OBAMA will "seize power"??? ROFLMFAO. He already

HOLDS power in the US. He's the fucking President.

22. Glenn Beck's "handlers" at FNC are making a sick man worse for ratings.

They feed him flawed, spun, sometimes false "information", KNOWING his strong family history of psychiatric disorders and his personal history of addiction and instability. They insulate him so that he can't access the kind of ordinary reality-checking that would let him see that he's going off the edge. THIS IS THE MORAL EQUIVALENT OF FEEDING HERSHEY BARS TO A DIABETIC AND THEN HIDING THE INSULIN.

If this man is not helped soon, by somebody, the outcome is not likely to be good. He will either hurt himself, hurt someone else, or suffer a breakdown so severe that he will need hospitalization and lose his career.

And FNC won't care; they'll just find the next brittle psyche to exploit on-air.
