Fearmonger-in-Chief Beck reveals 'The Plan': Frighten people into joining a movement of bedwetters
By David Neiwert Monday Nov 23, 2009 12:00pm
Glenn Beck's obviously been drumming his fingers in contemplation after his semi-successful 9-12 March on Washington: What to do? What to do next?
Aha! He knows! He'll organize them into a sustained movement to "save America." He'll call it "The Plan."
Beck unveiled "The Plan" on Saturday at a rally in Florida that drew about 25,000 people, and The New York Times was there:
Glenn Beck, the popular and outspoken Fox News host, says he wants to go beyond broadcasting his opinions and start rallying his political base — formerly known as his audience — to take action.
To do so, Mr. Beck is styling himself as a political organizer. In an interview, he said he would promote voter registration drives and sponsor a series of seven conventions across the country featuring what he described as libertarian speakers.
On Saturday he held a festive campaign-style rally in The Villages in Florida, north of Orlando, in which he promoted his recently released book, “Arguing With Idiots,” and announced another book to come next August filled with right-leaning policy proposals gathered from the conventions.
Mr. Beck provided few details about his plans for the tour, making it unclear if he truly intends to prod his audience of millions into political action or merely burnish his media brand ahead of a book release.
Mr. Beck did say the conventions would resemble educational seminars, and he emphasized that while candidates may align themselves with the values and principles that he espouses, he would not take the next step to endorse them.
In describing the conventions, he told the crowd on Saturday: “You’re going to learn about finance. You’re going to learn about community organizing. You’re going to learn everything we need to know if you want to be a politician.”
How does Beck intend to inspire this movement? Well, if the video from Saturday's rally is any indication, it's going to be done the way Beck has done everything so far -- scaring the crap out of people, shouting fire in crowded theater, and herding them toward the exits on the far right. He is, after all, our Fearmonger in Chief.
And anyone who buys into his crap is just another right-wing bedwetter.
Some samples:
Beck: I told you over a year ago, please read about the Weimar Republic. Read about the end of the Republic of Germany, Weimar, before it fell into the hands of the Nazis. We are facing the same kind of financial questions that they faced! It was unsustainable! And for the first time in American history we started to monetize our debt! That's when I told you, please read about Weimar, because they did it! And it ends the same way every single time it has been tried.
[Actually, there's no comparison: Germany had just been defeated in a World War and was suffering the effects of hyperinflation in the 1920s, conditions that clearly do not apply here. More to the point, if you actually do study the end of the Weimar Republic, you can see that the final collapse of the Republic occurred precisely because it attempted a "conservative experiment" along the lines that Beck is prescribing: From 1930 to 1932, "In line with conservative economic theory that less public spending would spur economic growth, [Chancellor Heinrich] Brüning drastically cut state expenditures, including in the social sector." This, as it turned out, only heightened the social unrest that gave the Nazis their chance.]
Beck: So as I tell you these things, know that there is hope on the other side. But we are about to walk through a wall of fire! We are about to be baptized through fire.
It's because we weren't protecting liberty. But let me tell you -- let me tell you we have a choice ahead of us. I see -- I see America as the people on a boat. The boat is the Titanic. We've had a crew and a captain who took this ship and rammed her right upside the iceberg. She's been takin' in water for awhile, all the while the captains, the crews, they've been comin' and goin' and they say, 'Don't worry, don't worry, it's the Titanic, it's unsinkable.'
Then we elected a new captain and crew, and they took that thing and they backed it up, and now they are ramming it into the iceberg! Now they're taking this ship and they're taking it and they're -- with health care, and cap and trade, and stimulus -- they're doin' the same amount of damage that all the other crews did, just faster!
All the while they're telling all the passengers, you just go back into your stateroom, everything's just fine, you go ahead in the salon. There's some drinks up there for you, you go listen to the music, everything's fine.
Let me tell you something. Each and every one of us are here, and wide awake. Each and every one of us are a passenger on this ship, and it's our damned ship!
Actually, Glenn, a more appropriate analogy is that we're all on that sailboat in Dead Calm and you're acting like Billy Zane. But whatever.
Beck then describes "The Plan," which he says is analogical to "lifeboats" on the Titanic: He says he's assembling a team of "experts" to help him shape a movement that will produce GlennBeckian electoral victories in 2010. (Obviously, that NY-23 experiment didn't turn out so hot.) These experts are being hired to work on policy areas such as the economy, the environment, national security, etc.
Beck: And what I've done, is I've found two really smart people in each category, two really -- oh, they just have all kinds of experience. And then I have coupled them with one rebel -- one radical. I hear that's popular to be a radical now.
But these radicals are not the radicals wearing the Che T-shirts. These radicals are the ones wearing the Jefferson T-shirts!
Hmmmm. You mean a T-shirt like this one?
Beck goes on to rant about how the "progressive movement" set "a ticking time bomb" a hundred years ago and it's about to go off. The coup de grace comes when he describes "The Plan" in the most grandiose terms -- as a "100-year plan" for the nation.
Beck: We need to start thinking like the Chinese, by developing a one hundred year plan for America!
But then, that wouldn't be American, would it, Glenn?

When angry scared batshit demagogues start getting vocal and mobile it creeps the hell out of me, and I can't help but think what kind of camp I'd be sent to if this lunatic gets his way.
The democrats censored moveon.org for expressing their option about Petraeus and it was not a threat , an attack to do harm to him...
There is something very wrong with the government now and you have to wonder just how much ties there are between the Christian mercenary armies and the republican nuts..
They have and do attack democrats for even mentioning our rights.. The police even attack us whenever we demonstrate against any constitutional or freedom attacks.
I believe it is very strange the way Cheney , the news media and republicans attack Obama and the democrats , while even Obama and the democrats will not touch the criminal crimes from Bush and his administration with a ten foot pole..
In fact Obama and the democrats stop any and all investigations into their crimes so there can never be any prosecutions...
Well you know he's a member of a cult (Mormon) so it must seem natural to start one.
how many people even know who this uncle buck idiot is?
There are many housholds in the USA that have no cable or sat. service. So these people never see this scum, unless they watch Fuck News on broadband (my mind boggles).
What mindless zombies these people must be to believe in this prick.
..cooling his heels in prison for incitement?
And spare me the "free country" arguments, because it's not gonna cut it this time..
Can you imagine what terrorist camp, someone would have been ,,If they had made this statement about Bush or Cheney!!!

Arrested Bush dissenters look to the courts
7/23/6
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) — When school was canceled to accommodate a campaign visit by President Bush, the two 55-year-old teachers reckoned the time was ripe to voice their simmering discontent with the administration's policies.
Christine Nelson showed up at the Cedar Rapids rally with a Kerry-Edwards button pinned on her T-shirt; Alice McCabe clutched a small, paper sign stating "No More War." What could be more American, they thought, than mixing a little dissent with the bunting and buzz of a get-out-the-vote rally headlined by the president?
Their reward: a pair of handcuffs and a strip search at the county jail.
.."no free country" arguments.
It's not about that, it's about getting payback..and they're succeeding when you and everyone here is arguing semantics.
Beck et al. should be sent to jail while there's still time..
Otherwise say hello to de fuherer Beck..

Where have I heard that before?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlestar_Galac...
Oh, right, that plan. The plan that was gloriously screwed up in so many ways.
...a solution.
beck should be spaced....his head
is full of empty crap.
That plan made more sense, but just barely
We need to take what Glenn Beck says seriously. The damage he can do is scary and dangerous. This needs to be counterbalanced with reason and 'reaon" need to get louder. There are people that will "listen" to Beck and 'follow" him and he is dangerous.
"will follow", they are already
out there and very much active.
they are called militias.....
Because, unlike the conventional media, we're well aware that people like Scott Roeder and Richard Poplawski follow the lead of people like Bill O'Reilly, Glenn Beck, and Sean Hannity.
... oh, you mean Mao Tse-Tung and the COMMUNIST PARTY?
Just what we need, a bunch of teabaggers with little red books containing the wisdom of Chairman Beck. Obama indoctrinating our schoolchildren = bad, Glenn Beck educating another generation of rock-stupid drones = good times.
I don't look to raving paranoid loons for lessons on world history, economics, or politics.
Obama's China. BAD.
Beck's China. GOOD.
forced late-term abortions?
... government censorship of ideas not in keeping with theirs
... widespread graft and corruption
... no freedom of religion
... no freedom of speech
... no freedom of assembly
... and so on.
Actually, we don't need to BECOME China, I think we BECAME China somewhere during the Bush Administration.
"...rock-stupid drones..."
Too funny, and sadly true. I have to steal that line.
He seriously sounds like some kind of cult leader. Next thing is that he'll be taking all kinds of "donations" from these morons. And asking them to hit up their friends and family members. For sure I bet his "educational seminars" will cost hundreds. What a scam artist.
over a year ago--in the midst of the wall st meltdown, excitement about "change", before the tea parties, etc.--was the prime opportunity for the democrats to get in front of the progressive wave and enact meaningful change. they didn't. at all.
now, as the left/progressive base is crestfallen, the rightwing populist movement is taking all of the energy that should have been tapped into on the left. of course, the notable difference is that the rightwing populist movement is being directed to violently support corporate and ruling class interests....
thus, the failure that glenn beck as a human has been able to take advantage of the failure of the dems to take the lead...
No truer words have ever been spoken.
Obama was a naive fool. Thinking DLC republican-lite would satisfy the oppressed masses was sheer stupidity.
He has done nothing to help Main Street, while playing Santa Clause to Wall Street. The people are well aware of that, including the stupid wingnuts.
Obama had a chance to be another FDR. Instead, he decided to listen to Rahm the Clinton flunky, and now the wingnuts hate him more than ever, and the liberals have no use for the guy.
The democrats better primary this president in 2012 (along with all the Senate jerks like Lincoln and Conrad), otherwise the batshit crazy republicans will take back the White House.
Although I don't see much difference between Rahmabama and the repukes at this point.
Obama should have led the crazies on our side instead of letting Beck lead the crazies on theirs!
Well we've done it! We have figured out a way to blame Beck and his bat shit crazy crowd on the President. I knew we could do it if we buckled down and tried real hard.
pompoms to the right.

Pompoms! Now there's a pair of something that I have. While the boys crow about growing a "pair", I'll have my pompoms. My pompoms and my cuties.
no one would ever peg you as being critical of obama.
Nothing Beck and the rightwing crazies are doing is Obama's fault. That's the point. They would hate him no matter what he did, so he might as well be a leftwing partisan and get things his own base wants done instead of kissing the same corporate ass the Republicans do.
The crazies on our side want to force people to accept universal healthcare. That would be exactly as bad as what Beck is trying to stir up.
..beck seems to be filling a void. Not the one in his head though.
...Had Obama(I admit to having the benefit of hindsight) completely abandoned the Repukes they would have accused him of reneging on his then noble promise to represent all of America. These people are scum and no matter which position Obama would have taken they would have aggressively attacked him...as they are doing now.
This mess is Republican made as well as the continued obstruction. Throwing this shit completely on Obama's lap is just what Beck, Palin, Hannity, etc. want you to do.
hee hee
First, if you notice I didn't try to absolve Obama from any responsibility. But based on a criterion that judges a failed effort of trying to work with chronic assholes whose professed objective is for the President to fail, I think it is easy to take your stand.
Obama hasn't been proactive enough for me either, but I haven't forgotten who is the true enemy....and I'll never inadvertently side with them...they have enough Teabaggers.
Is this anything like the Master Plan? It certainly sounds like it.
the final solution?
This loon can't be headed towards any kind of good future for anyone who doesn't toe the line.
For those who are not from Central Florida, (congratulations), the Villages is an "over 55" community. It is also overwhelmingly white, and overwhelmingly Republican. They're all retired, so Beck probably had just about the whole population turn out for his hatefest.
Fun Facts about The Villages:
During the 04 election, the Villages was the most pro-Bush part of the state.
During the same time period, The Villages had the highest rate of STD's in the state.
The Villages: Old people screwing each other and trying to screw the rest of us too.
All of that explains why the Villages is on Palin's book selling/campaign stop tour.
and of course, the NYT article makes no mention of the biased crowd. But if a liberal went to San Francisco and had a good turn-out......
There is somewhere else! Do Beck and Palin get new numbers in each or is it the same single digit in each Village?
Is Rahm 4 1/2?
Be seeing you.
Good to know, and funny too. Thanks for the newsflash.
-
I live around them. There are more people around here that believe Obama's birth and citizenship are questionable than I care to admit publicly.
I'm holding on to hope that this really is a Southern aberration
Beck is into "community organizing" now?
Wasn't this what they criticized Obama for last year?
That and his delusions of grandeur.
"and it's our damned ship!"
Well, yes all of our damned ship and a majority of us voted for the half black captain and he is in charge whether Becky-boy and the crazies like it or not.
Cheesus - it is just so obvious.
I think Beck might be the best thing going for the D's.
Crazy does drive sane people away - it is always the response.
... rabies is contagious.
digression?
- Does Glenn Beck know that metaphor isn't the number between meta-3 and meta-5? Funny thing about the Titanic analogy, most ships don't elect their captains and/or crew, even in times of disaster. It's like the English language is a young girl and Glenn Beck...
- I can't wait for a new crop of lil' Hoffmans (Hoffmen?) to infiltrate the electoral scene. Come some early November, I can expect to hear the semi-regular chorus of "It's ACORN's fault we didn't win ________________," from the Beckerheads who decide they hate government so much, they want to be a part of it.
ACORN. It is all Chomsky's fault, Amy Goodman.
Billy Zane in Dead Calm.
A great post, but sheer genius in your cinematic reach.
Written about Brits. Could be Americans too?
1. Rude, impolite & argumentative.
2. (Severely) overweighed, yet still desperately trying to squeeze their fat arses into a size 8 (women),before they slap on another layer of make-up.
3. Not very intelligent / travelled
4. They still think the UK is the centre of the universe, but then again, they don't know any better (see point 3).
5. They are drunk after 5 pints, start fighting, make c*nts of themselves, or turn into slappers,and are proud of it too.
6. Celebrity obsessed.
7. They have great shops/fry ups.
8. Teenage pregnancies.
9. They can't stand critisism.
10.Disrespectful towards other nationalities.
At least the ones at the teabagging rallies.
... remember, the stages of getting drunk are:
First, you become SMART.
Then, you become GOOD-LOOKING.
Next, you become INVULNERABLE.
Lastly, after you've gotten the shit kicked out of you and embarassed, you become (or want to be, at least) INVISIBLE.
can't keep off the damn scales?
one to a pint.
some of the best times I ever had were in pubs - but I was in Wales, and they know how to party.
this sad state of affairs occurred because of a destruction of the national sense of pride and optimism which was caused by a dithering leadership which did not listen to and promptly follow the lead of commanders in the field.
anyone else notice the truly creepy picture at the NYT article?
Look at Beck's bus in the picture - wtf is he doing in what looks like an SS uniform in the picture??
n/t
in a freaking Brownshirt/SS uniform?
Everytime I see it in the bookstore I think it's a joke of some sort until I remember it's Beck and think that he's just so frigging stupid he thinks it's appropriate somehow.
I don't get it - portray Obama as Hitler, he's a villian.
Dress Beck up like a Brownshirt, and he's a hero?
They really are insane - I mean, I knew they were, but, damn.
I think that's a copy of the cover of his book. Palin has a copy of the cover of her book painted on her bus so I guess he did the same thing. Do they have the same publisher?
That joke SNL did about 2012 and Palin being president with Beck as her veep is a wet dream for Beck.
that they are forced to do a reality TV show in which they race across the Bonneville Salt Flats in their self potrait painted buses trying to be the first to cross into the Rapture.
Sounds like a plan to me. But instead of the Salt Flats how about the La Brea Tar Pits?
Did I tell you as a lad I got to see a "Lassie" episode filemd at La Brea? Lassie was a he. Had a pair.
you're in FL too, aren't you? You aren't around there, are you?
No way Madam. I am on the Treasure Coast directly east of Lake O.
I'm in the Big O.

So Beck plans to institute the Great Leap Backward.
You know what would be REALLY scary?
If Beck (and the others) toned it down and started to actually address issues with thoughtful opposition?
That would be far worse.
Thank all that is good for Beck just being Beck.
:)
Unfortunately, to be thoughtful, thought is required, and thinking's not their strong suit.
The book is titled, “Arguing With Idiots".
At least he knows his crowd. Limbaugh has dittoheads, Beck went one better and just calls his listeners idiots.
Beck has found the magnet that attracts all the crazies. If he wasn't doing this show he could be an evangelical preacher on tv selling prayers and prayer cloths. He's a con man and he's using these old and often weak minded people to draw attention to himself and make him more valuable to Fox.
I couldn't have put it any better. He's saying all this garbage to sell books and increase ratings. Beck is either a dangerous idiot or an excellent businessman. Either way, he should be in a jail cell.
From The Onion:
if it's pathetically true??

.
I emailed that to a few astute buddies.
Thanks...that's seven minutes of my life I'll never get back. I think someone needs to call Mr. Beck and let him know that the bat-cave called, and they'd like their guano back!
get back to the good old days.
Alfreds last name was Peachous :P

A COMMUNITY ORGANIZER!
To do so, Mr. Beck is styling himself as a political organizer. In an interview, he said he would promote voter registration drives...
If I recall correctly, Beck's hero, Bible Spice had a few "things" to say about Community Organizers at a convention she recently spoke at. Maybe GlennieB can take some community organizing classes from President Obama!
"Mr. Beck is styling himself as a political organizer. In an interview, he said he would promote voter registration drives..."
Exhibit A of America being like the Weimar Republic: populist, authoritarian nationalist rallies a following by promoting pseudo-history.
Now we know why Beck went to war against ACORN, he wanted to get rid of the competition. He's now about to take their gig.
to execute the Plan there will have to be thousands of simultaneuos fires at the Walmarts to replace the Reichstag.
Well you can count on there being massive battles at all Walmart's this Friday when the hoards attack the flat screen teevee lands.
..she'll think it too long and beck not worth listening to; he should be ignored. But that's not going to make this idiot go away or the people who listen to him realize his hatred of the President in the White House.
were you in Rwanda awhile back? Say....when Clinton was President?
I beieve some of these tea baggers would be grousing if a white democratic president had been elected last year but I sincerely believe the color of the president's skin is what really causes them to get a knot in their tea bag strings.
It is a varocosele. If you'd just grow a pair you would know that.
Fromming girls!
Forgive me Father for I have sinned, but I have never frommed a girl. What's a varocosele? Animal, mineral, or vegetable?
Father: "That is all right my girl. Neither have I. Just little boys dressed like them."
Answer to your question: Would you have known if I spelled it right?
A varicocele is a widening of the veins along the cord that holds up a man's testicles (spermatic cord). Symptoms: Enlarged, twisted veins.
Well I learn something everyday, not necessarily what I need to know but something none the less. I sure hope that one is not on the quiz because I'm pretty sure I'll forget it by tomorrow. You know, it's not something that often comes up in a conversation. Like until now I have never heard it spoken of by anyone.
regular old varicose veins - I'm sure you've seen plenty of them on the legs of the lovelies in Fla.
race are necesarily "unlike you," and that people of the same race are "like you," is incomprehensible to me.
I think Gene Wilder said it best in Blazzing saddles:
"You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. They're people of the land. The common clay of the New West. You know - morons"
Excellent movie.
but it fits Beck's followers too!
Using the Weirmar analogy, would that make Beck a wanna be Hitler? An extreme right wing personality rallying the disaffected to his cause.
Fortunately, I think Beck is more interested in money and fame than real politics - he's still scary though.
That's what is so dangerous about all this. Beck makes the big bucks, stokes his ego and walks away. Meanwhile, the crazies are still all fired up to do some shit and they have their loaded guns with them.
why does he talk and move like Hitler himself?
and smelled his own gas?
I think he has guidance about what to say, and how to say it without really saying anything.
Where's Frank Lunz?
channeling Adolph..!
It seems to me there are three types of comments regarding Beck:
1) How stupid he is.
2) How stupid his followers are.
3) How stupid we are for paying attention.
But there is a fourth player that should be considered as well. Those who pay Beck to do that which he does so well (i.e. incite).
For the media, if it bleeds it leads. So what better way to find a story that bleeds than incite it?
Beck is no Hitler. Beck is no Stalin. Beck is a clown. Beck gets paid to do exactly what he’s doing. Those who are propping him up – they are not stupid. They know what they’re doing. They are more dangerous than Beck.
Hitler was considered a joke. I think Beck is following a plan he knows works. 100 year plan or 1,000 year Reich?
I don't think Hitler was considered a joke even during the failed 1923 coup attempt (which was a joke). But, I'll say it again... Beck is no Hitler.
As far a Glenn Beck goes - his "Painting with Poop" book
http://videocafe.crooksandliars.com/heather/r...
seems much more appealing for those villagers that are batshit crazy.
Bill Maher once said in his New Rules segment:
And, speaking of opportunity, have you heard this broad? [slide of Michele Bachmann] The floor of a cave called. It wants its bat shit back.
And, speaking of bat shit, to reiterate my theme, if Obama hadn't been elected, would we have ever seen Glenn Beck cry on TV? On a park bench while masturbating, sure, but not on TV. And was there any better TV than watching this weepy, wonderful special-needs cousin of Rush Limbaugh? Angry one moment, then frightened, scolding, sobbing.
who is this commie ass with the microphone telling us we have to create an 100 year plan like the Chinese? I sure hope Glenn Beck calls this f*cker out.
I sure hope he puts Rupert Murdoch on the blackboard in between the picture of the two.
25k people is just 5k more than full capacity at the los angeles staples center for a sold out u2 concert
and 6k more than a sold out lakers game
..on any given night.
Damn we do have miraculous health care technology in this country.
The only way I would not be disturbed/frightened/terrified by Beck being received by 25,000 people would be if at least 20,000 of those people were there in protest.
i would believe 5k at most as I have been to sold-out outdoor events at this count, and it does seem like a sprawling mass; but 25k? that is 7k more than the hollywood bowl.
25k would be a noticeable parking problem, especially in a town with a population of less than 10k.
The Villages is an isolated community way off the beaten track, in between Orlando and Ocala. It is in the boonies.
But parking wouldn't be a problem and neither would getting 25,000 people to show up for the free entertainment of watching the Beck Hatefest roll into town, because the population is over 60,000, and that 60,000 plus are all old, white, retired Republicans with nothing else to do.
What's really surprising is that less than half the old farts showed up. This community is a FOX wet dream - it was the strongest pro-Bush community in the entire state - and only 25,000 out of over 62,000 showed up?
25,000 at most, because they probably did inflate the numbers.
Where were the rest of the cane and crutch brigade? (Considering that the Villages had the highest rate of STD's in the entire state - do we really want to know where the rest were?)
I wonder what the Viagra sales are like there......
"I wonder what the Viagra sales are like there......"
They are on the rise.
"Beck: I told you over a year ago, please read about the Weimar Republic. Read about the end of the Republic of Germany, Weimar, before it fell into the hands of the Nazis."
Ironically, he has a point. This is a time where democracy is being threatened by extremists, as with the Weimar Republic. The irony is that the extremists include him.
...than GB keeping this movement (and it is definitely a movement) going would be to call The Villages home.
Beck says he'll have libertarians speaking at his "conventions." I'm not too familiar with their ideology, but aren't Libertarians pretty liberal on the social issues that the far right Conservatives obsess about? e.g. abortion, gay rights, etc.? Don't they want government to be hands off in all areas? I don't see that being attractive to the crowd that Beck attracts.
They will be "Libertarians", not real Libertarians....
the LiBrarians - the ones who keep 'reading' him the books about Wiemar....
next stop, guyana?
" with health care, and cap and trade, and stimulus -- they're doin' the same amount of damage that all the other crews "
So let me see if I get this correctly. Glen thinks if we all do without health care, breath and drink filthy poluted air and water, and all lose our jobs, then we will all be better off? Yup, I think that must be what Glen is trying to say. Glen will be the death of the Republican party. He will alienate so many of the more moderate republicans, the Dems will win landslide after landslide if they themselves don't screw it up (they could you know)......
Can we say Fanning the flames? All Beck attracts are loonies and the brain-dead.
The scary thing is it drew 25,000. Or as they say in Fox News, 25 Million.
..someone here who sees reason..
With all due respect to T-pain, Andy Samberg and the rest of the gang at The Lonely Island, hey glenn beck, here's your boat:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7yfISlGLNU
Look at me! look at me! muthaf*cka I'm running this muthaf*ckin' boat right in on the muthaf*ckin' rocks.. muthaf*cka...
Doesn't this cross some kind of ethical line?
Where his show becomes in effect program-length commercials for his "seminars" profitable to himself?
Glenn Beck reveals his true secret through Little Orphan Annie's radio program. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdA__2tKoIU
All we need now is for Glenn to write his own little Mein Kampf to go with it and his movement will be complete. The Glenn Beck 1oo year Final Solution.
A scorched earth retreat.
.
As he continues along this line, ramping up the self-aggrandizing melodrama, he will be assasinated by one of his own followers.
No, no, Glenn, there's a much better name for your movement: call it "Der Putsch."
...Before Beck instructs them to strip nude and start biting each other. Nothing serious, just little love nibbles. Get a taste for the saltiness of human flesh. Then he corrals the entire mess into K*MART stores to group Masturbate into Martha Stuart Towels, Live on USTREAM!
...but what seems to escape the notice of most on the left is that Obama, Geithner, et al, are part of the same problem: the US political system is totally broken, and no Republican nor Democrat will ever affect meaningful change.
When money controls politics reform is impossible - utterly and totally out of the question. Expecting change from Obama is little different from expecting change from Bush (or McCain, or Clinton, or Palin, or whomever you name from either of the two hopelessly corrupt organizations masquerading as political parties). Obama and Geithner have simply continued the raiding of the Treasury for the benefit of monied interests that was started by Bush and Paulsen.
Unless a viable third-party movement can somehow gain traction (and soon), we are toast. To hope for "change" from Obama and his Wall Street handlers was and is naive beyond belief. And since every economist expects unemployment to remain high for years, Obama looks to be a one-termer - who knows what kind of a stooge the Repubs will trot out this time?
Total, 100% public financing of elections is the only road to meaningful change, and the Big Rich aren't about to let that happen. So buckle up for a bumpy ride.
"The Plan?" Really? How long before this is transformed into "The Final Plan?" Sounds close enough already.
