Glenn Beck dives off the conspiracist deep end with nutty guilt-by-association game
Glenn Beck has been imploring his viewers this week to record the show and keep it and watch it and rewatch it so that they can absorb all the vital information it will contain, because it's rilly, rilly important.
The upshot: There are a bunch of radical left-wing Marxists who have been mainstreaming themselves through various civil-rights and community-organizing fronts who are all connected to President Obama.
The apparent nexus of this conspiracy is the Apollo Alliance, which describes itself thus:
The Apollo Alliance is a coalition of labor, business, environmental, and community leaders working to catalyze a clean energy revolution that will put millions of Americans to work in a new generation of high-quality, green-collar jobs. Inspired by the Apollo space program, we promote investments in energy efficiency, clean power, mass transit, next-generation vehicles, and emerging technology, as well as in education and training. Working together, we will reduce carbon emissions and oil imports, spur domestic job growth, and position America to thrive in the 21st century economy.
Woo. Sounds like a bunch of wild-eyed Marxist radicals to me. Their board, too, looks like a bunch of people who make their livings as capitalists -- though Beck wants to paint them all as "anti-capitalists."
One of the realities of conspiracy theories like this is that they rely not merely on guilt by association, but that they are themselves about hidden agendas. All conspiracy theories are fundamentally scapegoating narratives, and so the most fundamental aspect of them is who they are scapegoating. In this case, it's community organizers like Van Jones (named prominently in Beck's recent diatribes) and other minority civil-rights and environmental activists.
So what Beck isn't telling you is that the very people he's scapegoating -- particularly Jones' outfit, Color of Change -- have been leading the charge to strip Beck's show of advertisers in the wake of his outrageous attacks on President Obama as a "racist" and "someone who hates white people, white culture".
If Beck had an ounce of honesty in his body, he'd offer full disclosure: That the very organizations he's smearing as riddled with "Marxists" and "communists" and as fundamentally a bunch of "radicals" are the same organizations that have been hurting him and his show financially.
Incidentally, he's still losing advertisers, but can always stand to lose more.
Today, FWIW, we get Rush Limbaugh on Beck's show to lead his defense. We can only hope a hole in the time-space continuum does not open from the critical mass of so much wingnuttery on one show.
Great writing.

At some point I hope Obama has the decency to decrease the amount of flouride in the water supply at FOX News.
that would be content regulation.
"Fox News host Glenn Beck has lost over 30 sponsors since he called President Obama a racist. And the latest sponsor that he just lost is Clorox bleach. That's amazing. Even a company whose sole purpose is to make things whiter thinks Glenn Beck has gone too far." --Conan O'Brien

I would never tape it to watch it again.
republicanism is a mental illness!
the way that stuff oozes out of his gills after he's been out of the tank for too long is sickening...
Much coverage...
None
If he hadn't been exposed on sites like this one, he may very well still have those 36 sponsors who have pulled their money from his show.

me-oww!
cannot even make myself watch the video. I'm glad to see transcripts and such so I don't have to.
But then, this website IS called "Crooks and Liars" and was originally intended to reveal the lies and manipulations coming out of the Republican party. Now that Faux, and Glenn Beck have become the propaganda arm of said party, it's only natural that we endure the knowledge of their wingnuttery.
...the mental illness is even more acute than most. People like Beck usually hear the phrase, "and have we taken our medication yet?" several times a day. He should be shuffling around the day room in slippers and a bathrobe.

keep calling the sponsors and politely tell and show them what they are sponsoring and whether they wish their products to be permanently associated with this irrational troll and its ignorant ideas.
Beck does verbal macrame and calls it a rational thought. You know when he has Michele Malkin on to back him up, he knows he's standing on shaky ground.
Watching him drawing those connective lines was just funny. Give me a blackboard and some chalk. I can write words and draw lines to them and based on my own creativity, I could probably come to the conclusion that Obama is a pencil eraser.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
The Nutty Professor.
There is no coincidence here. On Monday, I watched about 15 minutes of him and told my partner,"Glenn Beck is doubling down on his Obama is a (no longer nazi)radical marxist. Yesterday, he did his crazy chalk board trick. He was focusing on the Apollo project and Van Jones (on Monday he focused on Mr. Jones, also)
Are you ready? Van Jones is the co-founder of Color of Change - the brilliant folks who are targeting and succeeding in getting sponsors to drop this dangerous, ranting, prophet of all things evil he can make up about the president. In January, he met with Roger Ailes, the evil puppet master, of Fox and announced he was worried for the country and wouldn't keep his mouth shut. So, before Barack was even in office, he was going to be the harbinger of doom.He is seriously dangerous.
It has PROVEN to be an abject failure
Well for one, it makes right wing liars, shills and propagandists like Beck, O'Reilly and Limbaugh filthy rich for contributing nothing to society except hate, bigotry and the inducing of conservative domestic terrorists to kill Americans.
I don't understand why the working class Republicans (particularly the working poor who are republican) are defenders of US style capitalism given that most of them will never rise above their current economic strata

..and needs to boost those wingnut ratings. I wonder how long it will take rupe to fire him? Hmm, rupe will probably raise ad rates on the other numbskull comedy shows he has on faux to compensate for beck's lack of revenue generation. After all, keeping this screaming mee-mee on the air is good for faux and bad for America and isn't that what faux is all about?

I wonder after watching this if it's all an act- Beck could be playing the role of a right wing nut so as to gain a large right wing nut audience- so for him it's all about $$....
I'm wondering, because if he was REALLY this mentally ill, he would have been commited to a mental health facility long ago...
By getting the left to despise him- we talk about him, which is free publicity for him....
this is actually quite entertaining...almost too entertaining, as if its being peformed by an actor
..but a petty player who struts and frets his hour or half-hour on the stage full of crap signifying nothing.

APPARENTLY he's some sort of "comedian" or something. I saw an ad for his "comedy show" while I was waiting for a movie...
Seeing his face 30' tall sent shivers down my spine...
what's the end game? why is this bullshit being tolerated?
We can only hope a hole in the time-space continuum does not open from the critical mass of so much wingnuttery on one show.
I'm kind of pulling for a singularity myself. Getting reduced to a thimble full of quarks seems like an appropriate ending to Rush and Glenda.

Time to apply more pressure on remaining Fox advertisers, methinks.
Never forget that Fox are paying Beck $10m a year to pedal this inane propaganda. No advertisers willing to promote their products on his show = Beck gets axed.
"All conspiracy theories are fundamentally scapegoating narratives"
That is an extremely broad brush you seem to be painting with there.
One might say that, "All 'Unified Field' type conspiracy theories," or "All Vague Conspiracy Theories," or "most generalized conspiracy theories are fundamentally scapegoating narratives."
But to say that it is true of ALL conspiracy theories is tantamount to saying conspiracies don't exist -- a preposterous and unsupportable claim, if ever there was one.
Certainly, the claim applies to anything I've seen from Glenn Beck and his fellow travelers, but still …

Nothing to fear -- I don't mind being challenged. I'm not always able to explain my thinking fully in the posts, so I use a shorthand.
But let me direct you all to Chip Berlet's work on conspiracism and why serious progressives eschew it assiduously, because it pretty closely reflects my own thinking. I particularly agree with the sentiments of G. William Domhoff in his interview with Berlet:
are far too reasonable to make a proper television pundit. More's the pity. In keeping with the admonition to never attribute to malice what is fully explained by stupidity I do not subscribe to any particular conspiracies. It wasn't any hidden conspiracy that drove the previous administration to completely screw up the the economy and just about everything else. Nor is it what drives the current incarnation of the GOP. Their impetus was and is un-enlightened self-interest.

..is when their adherents over-reach. The result is that they undermine their own credibility. Example: 9/11 truthers going on about the fact that the towers fell straight down. No-one who knows the slightest thing about gravity finds that that proves anything. Everything falls straight down, and everyone should know that.
That said, an argument stands or falls on its own merits, not by whether it can be categorized using some dismissive term. That's not logic, it's just name calling.
If you want to convince me of the validity of any argument, I suggest you follow this guide.

Just like on Mad Men. They can't fall from high places unless they climb first.
My front and back yard are teeming with barn swallows. I know that has nothing to do with Beck, but it sure is cool to watch. They are flying warp speed and diving low here and there as the feed. How they keep from flying into one another when there are that many flying that fast in a rather small area is amazing to me.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
Kind of like the free electrons flying around in Beck's head. How do they keep from crashing into one another!!??
It's another one of those unsolved miracles.

When two electrons collide in beck's head, he thinks he's had a thought. If two of these birds collide I know I'll be cleaning up a pile of feathers.

David,
DHSmd "I have to Object to This.." (above) is obviously correct.
This post is good overall (as are all of your posts that I remember), but you went overboard when you said: "All conspiracy theories are fundamentally scapegoating narratives". This statement is, of course, a preposterous (obviously false) assertion. To believe this is to believe that all willful crimes involve only one person. Conspiracy is defined as the plan or intention of more than one person to commit a crime. Your use of the word “Scapegoating” implies that any description of a premeditated crime (involving more than one person) is false and is asserted only to blame the innocent. This is not only “crazy talk” but it is also destructive in that it is a “thought blocker” meme which tends to keep people from having “ears to hear”, or eyes to see when it might still be possible to prevent a given crime or others in the future.
The whistleblowers exposing the Bush administrations conspiracy to start a war of aggression (Iraq) by way of Lies, deception, and criminal fraud were dismissed with the technique of infecting people with this type of “thought blocker”.
You are right to point out Glenn Becks PSYOPS and concocted conspiracy claims, but your broad brush corrupts and subverts your otherwise valid analysis. While many have made this and similar preposterous assertions, it is dangerous and very destructive to do so.
Still a fan of yours,
Peace,
JK

And it took the rum soaked brain of Glenn Beck to smoke them out.
My favorite part - how are they connected? All of those people are connected by the lines of chalk on Glenn's black board . . Q.E.D.
off crazy. Even when he tries sounding logical with a nice little chart, he just sounds like a conspiratorial nutjob. And what is really sad is that people buy into this stuff because it "sounds" reasonable and he has "evidence."
Holy shit! Beck can interact with a blackboard? The man is obviously an evil genius.

Wait until you hear how he begins his show tonight. He wants people to speak without fear or something more terrible than anyone can imagine is going to happen. He doesn't say what that is, but just trust him, it's pretty damned bad.
He says no one spoke up against global warming because they didn't want to be called a flat earther or a Holocaust denier. But now he wants them to speak without fear about something yet to be determined.

every time i hear/read of someone advocating for a way to build a new green economy and they say "we need another 'manhatten project', i shout out the negative connotations of that work, and suggest calling it an 'apollo program' after JFK's space race... and, i could point them to the Apollo Alliance website...
too bad beck has twisted that one also...
Hey, Beck, you crazy Mormon racist, why don't you just get it over and say what you really want to say and that is: You hope someone assassinates Obama.
There is a N****R in the Whitehouse, Run, Run for your lives.
Problem with conspiracy theorists is that they usualy jetison facts,cherry pick 'evidence', and draw conclusions with the absense of facts...There are conspiracy nuts on the right and the left..but the ones on the right (like Beck)are so easy to laugh at...
I contend that conspiracy theorists feel like they have no control over their own lives so they cook up these ideals to explain why they're not responsible for their own actions.
"When are we going to stop trying to tell elected officials what to do. Our job is to spend the taxpayers' money the best way we can." -- Tommy Watkins, Justice of the Peace, Crawford County, Arkansas
Beck's "guest" is Phil Kerpen, a writer for the Fox Forum at FoxNews.com and a wonk for "Americans for Prosperity", a group that is almost entirely funded by oil interests. AFP also represents tobacco industry interests among others and is one of the organizing forces behind teabaggers and town hall protests over health care.
So much for "fair and balanced".
The damned beck. Cannot stand him.
I turned his show on 2 or 3 times this afternoon, but only for about 2 seconds a time.
I heard him tell us all to be "afraid."
Soon after that, when I turned him on again, he had some idiot from the Media Research Center (MRC). Now that scares the hell out of me. Brent Bozo Bozell is one of the scariest far right idiots I know of, and I don't want any of MRC's influence on this country.
By the way, I was up late last night watching TV when the news of Teddy's death came on. So I stayed up for another 3 hours watching coverage on CNN and MSNBC. Every now and then, I'd turn on Fox to see what they were doing. Sometimes, they had coverage; other times, they had reruns of other shows. One particular time I switched to Faux, it was very upsetting, very scary. It was a rerun of a beck show, and he was interviewing malkin. Really pissed me off that Faux, instead of covering Kennedy, had two hate mongers talking with each other.
Kinda like watching two dogs fucking right? You just can't keep your eyes off them...
Well, the two dogs doing their thing is quite interesting, and I'd take the time to watch the whole thing....might even film it.
But the two jackals on tv is something I can't stand...makes me sick if I watch more than 2 seconds.
Here is a link to a pretty good (brief) article debunking pontifications about "conspiracy theories".

PS: Notice the space added after http:
He forgot..the thigh bone's connected to the hip bone.
1) Glenn Lee Beck was born in 1964, 188 years after the declaration of independence was signed in 1776
2) Ted Kennedy just died at age 77
3) 188 - 77 = 111
4) Glenn Lee Beck has 4 e's in his name and 2 L's. 4+2 = 6.
5) 6 x 111 = 666! AHHHH GLENN BECKS THE DEVIL!
Can't refute that logic!
Beck seems as if he's peddling harder underwater now then ever..ESPECIALLY with Palin's new endorsement from today on her Ghostbook page... Advertisers bailing out left and right getting to him?? (count now at 36)....With NewsCorp loosing money hand over fist are beck and hannity and billo and the other losers over at cluster-fox getting nervous that they may be walking the streets soon because they're looking for work??
Sure hope so..it would be poetic justice of the highest magnitude... the bush propaganda machine bites the dust - what a great headline in the NY Post...
Are beck and sarah gonna announce their candidacy soon??
have these guys unemployed. Their hands would be idle and their minds spinning with rage.
wrong film Benny
It's cast
You can all try to make light of this "fool", but the day is coming when another one of his loyal believers goes apes**t and starts killing people. I think this is exactly what he wants! He took a week off so that he could invent a new conspiracy and demonize the Obama administration even more. He's got Limbaugh on today to egg him on. They're raving about how the fairness doctrine will be slipped in the backdoor just to silence them. They really need to get back on their meds.
For the past few months, I've been sending emails to Fox and O'Reilly, telling them that the guy is dangerous. I send them to O'Reilly because O'Reilly has the guy on once a week and makes light of beck's craziness.
I just sent beck an email, telling him that I am very afraid.....not of that which he warns, but rather that he had as a guest some guy from the MRC....and that I don't want that right wing organization influencing anything in this country.
I also told beck that I was afraid of the fact that people are showing up with guns, notably an assault rifle, at public events with Obama.
Last night, I sent O'Reilly an email telling him that one of these days, one of beck's followers is going to show up with a gun at a public event, and things will get out of hands.
Seriously, beck is mentally ill. His mother and a brother committed suicide. It runs in the family.
do you ever get a response?
I've never gotten a response from beck or oreilly on the beck issues, but O'Reilly has read at least a half a dozen or so of my emails on air on other issues the past few years.
I've also gotten responses from the likes of Rove, Gingrich, and others.....so some of these emails do get through.
On FOX (Friends of Xenophobes) news they call this
"6 degrees of Desperation"
These two sound like kids anticipating a raid from a rival treehouse gang.
But Wacko in Waco is right. They WILL get people killed.
maggot actually believe the shit he says? Beck is another example of the fact that Roe v. Wade was passed too late!

Yet, Beck must use the props his audience will recognize. Too funny!
I was reading comments on the story about the Colorado RNC demanding an apology for the vandalism at the DNC and the DNC linking it to the health care debate. The comments were the ususal - a lot of Acorn was put up to doing it so the Republicans could be blamed.
Then a couple of people mentioned this Apollo Alliance and I thought it had something to do with the Apollo Theater - I couldn't figure it.
I'm so impressed with what Color of Change has accomplished. Corporate America has to ask themselves if they want to be associated with the violent rhetoric coming from Glenn Beck and others on the Right especially in light of the latest report from the Southern Poverty Law Center.
No more, No less.

The pendulum needs to swing to the left now; it’s been on the corporatist fascist right for too long. The rich got so much richer under Shrub!
Alcohol + cocaine + mercury in water + paranoid rasict projection + masturbatory illusions of grandeur = Glenn Beck
Glenn would be just fine on the 3 AM time slot on some local cable access channel perhaps. Giving him prime airtime on a national network is just reckless and wrong. FOX is playing with fire.
Beck is a certifiable paranoid schizophrenic and a time bomb. He has attracted a significant number of fellow lunatics and others who should really know better. He babbles incendiary gibberish and it will have an affect.
This is scary shit.
