Glenn Beck and Paul Ryan huddle to "flush out" progressivism
Ultra-conservative Paul Ryan and Glenn Beck put their little heads together for a few minutes to let Beck's listeners know that "progressivism is a cancer" that desperately needs to be "flushed out."
About halfway through their powwow, Ryan starts rambling about how the German intellectuals in Wisconsin where he grew up were the genesis of Progressivism and so he understands just how evil it truly is, and how it "threatens the American ideal."
Paul Ryan is a Congressman who makes my teeth grind when he doesn't even try. While he smiles and plays the fresh-faced eager-beaver Alex P. Keaton type lawmaker, he's really just as deep in the tank of the teabaggers and Birchers as any I've ever seen. He champions driving a stake through Medicare, ending Social Security, and handing out undervalued vouchers so Americans can reduce the cost of health care.
Paul Ryan is driven by the almighty dollar and little else, but he's very, very good at what he does. His almost-casual mention of "German intellectuals" in his argument about why progressives threaten the American ideal has Lee Atwater snickering somewhere in hell, I'm sure.
As my friend David Badash says, cancer is cancer. Not progressivism.
(h/t StopBeck)
broken.
I mean that one didn't work well but at least it worked.
Hey here it is from u tube. It was his radio show
Glenn Beck Paul Ryan discuss progressives part 1 of 2
not get and the American people and Dems know better! Obscure scare tacics...does not work well..with low IQ!
like you write, those aligned against social progress should be labeled as the anti-social security, anti-medicare, anti-medicaid, anti-overtime pay, anti-minimum wage, anti-women's voting rights, anti-equal amendment thugs that they are.
beck works his narrow ass off in order to cloud the issue. keep it simple: the anti-progressives want you to work longer, for less money, and they will take away grandma's social security check and healthcare and your mom's right to vote.
Aren't all those points of pride to the teabaggers they're trying to court?
if anyone needs flushing out, it's beck.
he is the only one i know who eats recycled food.
All kiddin aside - the real German intellectuals were the envy of most of the planet.
We and the USSR did our best to get many of them to join our forces. (see: Operation Paperclip)
"I know that there are people who do not love their fellow
man, and I hate people like that! " ~ Tom Lehrer (1928 - )
Up to the mid 1800’s Latin was the defacto scientific language. The Germans were so good at physics and engineering that by the 1920’s German was becoming the language of choice for scientific papers. The Nazis pissed off so many scientists in Germany, though, they all switched to English.
going on Beck legitimizes Beck but it's got to delegitimize Ryan if people are listening.
Nazis, Communists, Marxists, Liberals, Progressives, Maoists, Immigrants, Islamists, Fascists, Socialists, Leftists, ..and hummingbirds. They’re all so skeery. And they all seem to want the same thing.
BOO!
All Glen wants is ratings.
*runs screaming*
lol

as beck and his play buddy talk nonsense...
tea party leaders and some conservative members of the Oklahoma Legislature say they would like to create a new volunteer militia to help defend against what they believe are improper federal infringements on state sovereignty.
The founding fathers "were not referring to a turkey shoot or a quail hunt. They really weren't even talking about us having the ability to protect ourselves against each other," Brogdon said. "The Second Amendment deals directly with the right of an individual to keep and bear arms to protect themselves from an overreaching federal government."

that is some scary shit. cancer scary.
Wolverines!
when america invades america
.
had a progressive idea....
The worst part is that Beck is with out doubt a Nazi.
You could check off a list of Fascist traits and that prick would probably ace it.
"To me, truth is not some vague, foggy notion. Truth is real. And,
at the same time, unreal. Fiction and fact and everything in between,
plus some things I can't remember, all rolled into one big "thing."
This is truth, to me. "

I am proud to be a Wisconsin bred socialist. Used to go to the meetings and everything (Socialist Worker's Party). Madison was one of the main campus players in the anti war movement of the 60's. Milwaukee had a socialist mayor for 12 years.
Ryan represents the ugliest conservatism. He's a real piece of work.

I would add further comment but my tea's boiling over!
he was outside the womb at the time.

(I think it was) Plato committed suicide for unleashing reason upon the world.
Mrs Beck committed suicide for taking it away.
Does that mean fever is fever. Not TeaPartyism?

Aw for christ sake ricky what's that supposed to mean? Everything on this thread was making sense until you came along.
comparing people's political views to a disease is "eliminationist"
rhetoric as Dave Neiwert does quite elogquently and with great frequency, they had best be careful when they use such language themselves or they undermine the message Mr. Neiwert is sending.
If you have a problem with my statement, I would love to hear why.

not "flushed". The rightwing talking heads use so much "backdoor" imagery, and have for so long, that a trend is espied. As the little boy said, "With all this manure piled up here, there's a pony underneath somewhere."
development in humans: oral, anal, and phallic. The right wing seems to be stuck in the middle one. Vitter, for example, is stuck between the second and third. Beck, between the first and second. Funny how that works out, isn't it?
..are both wrong..it's Conservatism that's the cancer.

Try this with enriched plutonium and bad things happen. I'm surprised the combined lack of critical thinking ability didn't tear a rift in the space/time continuum.
Instead we got a brain trust. I mean a brain drain.
Potok is on "Ed" right now. He trimmed his beard, and he looks much better. If he took a little more off the top of his head, he might be good looking. Hard to tell yet. Sorry. I know it's his intelligence and good heart that counts. My inner girl got out for a second there.
just make the arrangements, what is he waiting for?
the real life science fiction of all this makes me feel like i am listening to a caller for art bell.
Does Beck whisper "I love you" around the 35 second mark?
it sent shivers down my spine, the bad kind of shivers.
Who was giving the enema to whom?

No need to "flush me out". I'm right here you stupid fuck.
with ya.
me-oww!
It's a movement! Make the calender.
....the fools do not realize,a population that can ,..... not paticipate .............in the 'economy'...,can not keep it viable!..........."we are listening,.......and we're not blind.,......this is your life....this is your time."
belongs in a mental institution.
He really is a sick SOB. I hope to see him taken away in a straight jacket before one of his followers commits a violent crime.
I cant believe a "news" organization lets this piece of shit spew his hate and racism. Seriously, he is dangerous.

smells like glenn beck's ass?
why do you know how;
1) Paul Ryan's finger smells and;
2) Glenn Beck's arse smells?
:P
me-oww!
We'll see if Ryan does the same when his feet are held to the fire.
So we began calling ourselves "progressive." Now that progressivism is a cancer, what are we going to call ourselves?
Juvenile and pathetic reverse psychology , just accuse the other of being what you are . Goebbels would be so proud of you Glenn ! The right wing / Repugs are a cancer , a malignant tumor and this cancer is contagious , it thrives on the defenseless , the ignorant and stupid , it's killing this country .
Insanity , it is what it is , there is no understanding it .
over to my neighbor hood where they will be welcome to make the attempt to flush this liberal/progressive out.
Go ahead, Beck, make my day.
... I noticed that one of the TV sets in the men's locker room was tuned to the Weeping Suicider's program.
I went to the front desk and politely but firmly asked them to turn the station to ESPN or some other politically neutral entity. I said that Beck has gone way beyond the line of "free speech" and is now merely a bomb-throwing insurrectionist.
They smilingly acceded to my request, and I had a very nice workout.

isn't this the Ryan that was married to the beautiful 7 of 9. Something about wife swapping in Europe.
My mistake
I think most people in WI don't trust Ryan or believe him, now since he is promoting the racist lunatics in the Tea-Party.
