He's losing it.
It's only a matter of time before the men with the strait jacket show up. In Beckistan, not only is world controlled by Soros-funded liberals, but the GOP now wants to "politically assassinate" him and his fellow truth tellers, Michele Bachmann and Sarah Palin.
On his radio show today, Glenn Beck claimed that the Republican Party is out to politically assassinate him, Sarah Palin, and Michele Bachmann. [..]
Beck said, “May I just, I mean they’re going to call me a conspiracy theorist, but let’s go on a little conspiracy here, and I don’t claim to know what it is, and maybe it’s all coincidental, but I don’t believe in coincidence. I think there’s something happening with the Republicans and the right that is disturbing. There was a time when Republicans and the right if you will didn’t mind the Tea Party. They used them as fuel, but if you’ll notice Michele Bachmann is now enemy number one. Michelle Bachmann is being discredited like I haven’t seen before, and they’ve tried for a while, but like I haven’t seen before. Even those in Congress are distancing themselves from the Tea Party and the caucus, and you can make excuses and maybe some of them are valid, maybe. “
He floated his conspiracy theory that the GOP was out to politically assassinate himself, Bachmann and Palin, “Sarah Palin has always been pilloried by the left, but have you noticed the right and how she’s being pilloried? The same with me. The same with CPAC. Are decks being cleared? Is it just a coincidence, or is the 2012 presidential election raising its head now, and anyone who talks about freedom, or is a real wild card that could hurt the party, are they being politically assassinated at this point?”
I'm going to give him the contextual benefit of the doubt that he means "discredit" when he talks about "political assassination", but it's a little hard to be absolutely sure with Beck, isn't it? Should members of the GOP fear the Beck ultra-loyalists, like Byron Williams?
Although he does not mention him by name, Beck is apparently nursing his wounded ego over being summarily dismissed as an unserious conspiracist by William Kristol and lashing out. For someone so eager to paint others in a conspiratorial light, he certainly is thin-skinned, as evidenced by his recent similar attacks on Lawrence O'Donnell.
BOO!!

but it isn't just the liberals and the GOP it's reality itself. The conspiracy is bigger than he imagined, thought and reason are in on it too.
The phrase "Divide and conquer" was supposed to be directed to the enemy/opposition. These Rebublicans can't get anything right.

The only ones to blame for Beck, Bachmann and Palin's political "assassinations" are their own big mouths.
The more they talk, the more sane Americans realize they are just plain crazy.
No matter how they spin it, the Republican power base and their propaganda arm, FOX dumped Beck. They can tell it any way they want, putting a bow on a turd makes no difference, it's still a turd.

The real flame throwing will begin when Beck, Barbie and Blinky start to infighting over the culling of Teabaggers from the Republican fold to create a viable 3rd party that would lead to certain doom for the GOP in 2012. The Republicans are eating their own heads.

He's right in regards to Palin at least , with 2012 coming up obviously the Republicans have decided that Palin was a liability , they have dumped her , I would not doubt that they had some input into the decision to phase out poor Glenn at Fox propaganda . Seems to me that Bachman and the Tea party too have become a headache for them , they'll likely try to marginalize her one way or another and I hope they do . LOL . What a freak show !
Insanity , it is what it is , there is no understanding it .
for exactly the reason you state. He's just so far out there that he's a liability to mainstream Republicans. The harm that he's already done this country can't be undone, though. There are lots of people who believe his lunacy.
It sounds as though Glen Beck's trying to take over the "Wall Street Conspiracy against the rest of us" territory. Before long, it'll be the liberals that control Wall Street.
It sounds to me more like the classic Birchers/Culture Warriors versus Wall Streeters debate from the pre-Reagan days. My guess is that Beck's been given his orders: go full-on crazy and keep making Rand Paul and the gang look liberal by comparison.
SO BE IT!!!!
And his lunacy sells to a select group. He's talking to his "people" who are anxiously waiting to hear this crap. We never will believe it, and his minions will never stop believing. Sooo..... why does C&L waste time and space on Beck?
Reality has a liberal bias
there's something suspicious going on here. Bachmann and Palin and Beck are being forced to say things so bat shit crazy and/or ignorant that it could only be dark Republican forces using secret mind control technology at the root of it. A sublimely evil plan is it not? The Republican establishment is determined to advance the socialist agenda of the secret Muslim non-president Kenyan. That's the ticket.

is beginning to figure out that the 2012 election might be a bit different than the 2010 in that Democrats and Independents are going to show up. And that the Tea Party candidates maybe too far right to get elected.
...but who they gonna' vote for? A Progressive candidate perhaps? not the republican't Obama, that's for sure.
Are you listening DNC?

Keoni: "NOT NOW MICKEY!"
I don't think Glenn is that far off this time. The GOP needed the enthusiasm, ability to get msm attention, and the votes of the tea party in 2010 and really "used" them for that. Now they need to at least appear more mainstream to have a shot at reqaining the Whitehouse in 1212 with an as yet unknown but at least semi-sane candidate. The more establishment GOP, which clearly knows how nutty their far right has gotten, is well on the road to locking up it's craziest uncles and aunts in the attic and basement of the republican party. They know the independents and moderate republicans they desperately need increasingly find the far right nutters embarrassing and a turnoff. Palin was taken down, then Beck, and I suspect Bachmann is their current project. You would have to watch Fox News to get hints about who is next on the list as they will encourage and then televise the political beheadings as entertainment. God knows republicans have a long list of crazies to work through in the next few months. We may see some of the less crazy but more manipulative far righties get the message to reel it in a bit if they don't want to be on the list. It will be interesting to see if the GOP will decide to push their gay republican organizations further into the closet or invite them out to play for awhile in order to appear more moderate and of course pick up their donations. Could go either way.
but I wouldn't have put it so succinctly. The GOP isn't going to let the prize of the Republican presidential nomination to go to either Bachmann or Palin. That prize is for the big dogs.
In the meantime, they'd better deliver on some job making, rather than looking for ways to cut working people off at the knees. There are, unfortunately, many union people who vote Republican because they hate liberals. blacks, gays and foreigners. Regardless of who their union leader encourage them to vote for, they vote against their own financial interests because of this. However, now that the GOP has shown its true colors by trying to deliver the knockout punch to unions in this country, even these guys are finally going to get the picture. And independents find all this Tea Party crap alarming. So, the mainstream, chickenshit, GOP is going to do its best to minimize the movement. Let's see how they do.

no glen, we all think you are fucking nuts and
need a strait jacket so you won't play in your
own body waste any more.
wouldn't you have loved to a fly on the wall to see the look on Beck's face when the execs at the Republican Media Arm (Fox) called Beck in to tell him his services as their highly paid useful idiot were no longer needed?
it's those three stooges!
The problem with Beck, and his delusional type, is that he believes himself to be the one true prophet for the party. When in fact he’s just another useful idiot. And when his usefulness runs out, the party simply replaces him with another.
After all, Glenn’s type has been around for a long, long time…

and we should give Glenn all the support we can muster. I'd like the GOP to be the target of his crazy for his end times. Let them go into refutation-of-crazy-bullshit overdrive.
me-oww!
If the party is trying to politically assassinate him, my only disappointment is that I'm not involved.

I bet he is right. I would imagine with an election coming up, the republican elites don't want these stupid idiots running their mouths and making the party look crazy.
You could remove Beck, Palin, Bachmann and every teabagger and the party would still look, sound and act crazy.

Vote GOP and move forward to the 18th Century.
Beneath his idiotic rhetoric, Beck is making a legitimate point. That statement will not be followed by a punch line.
Look what's happened at FOX over the past couple of months. Beck, Gingrich, and Santaorum have all been shown the door. Why? Because the shot callers in the GOP realize they will hurt more than help the party during the 2012 presidential race. Beck is correct, too, in saying the GOP cynically brewed up the so-called Tea party in order to overturn the results of 2008 election, and now wishes to re-impose its goose stepping party discipline. (Left unsaid was FOX's pre-eminent role in its creation). It's hard to imagine Bachman gaining any traction with voters, but not in Iowa. They certainly don't her heading into New Hampshire with a head of steam. Palin is a different case, and needs to be handled with kid gloves for no other reason than she was on their national ticket. But she's in it for the dough, refuses to speak with legitimate journalists, and is all-in-all relatively harmless.
2012's inter-party dynamics can't be controlled by the GOP as in years past, but the herd can culled. And so last year's golden boy is this year's ex-employee, and he resents it like hell.
...the Trump birther push on Fox News lately.
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust.
...but I think Trump is just a ratings bonanza at this point.
Everyone knows he's a clown.
Just 'Cos You Got the Power...THAT DON'T MEAN YOU GOT THE RIGHT!
I don't follow Beck, or watch, or listen, but enough of it filters through. I do read some of the posts.
The GOP used this fake tea bagger movement to stir the pot, but it's the eve of election season now and they want to snag the great "undecided" vote. They're the 50% that don't pay attention most of the time and/or believe the pablum CNN serves as news.
far left loon >.<
I'll square the circle instead. You don't cease feeding carnivores red meat because the zookeepers are vegetarians.
politically assassinated at this point?
Ha, ha, not by liberals, Dems, etc. We WANT the two wingnuts to run. Bachmann--Palin, Palin-Bachmann, we'll take it any way. Then our next wish is to find a Progressive to run against the Rethug Obomber.
I wonder. Would Gingrich accept an offer by Bachman to join her on the ticket?
...is somewhat correct, I hate to say.
Bachmann, Palin, Beck, etc. were simply useful idiots to work the rubes up into a hateful, violent, anti-Obama frenzy.
Now they've outlived their usefulness.
The financial powers-that-be behind the Republican Party (the REAL Republican Party...the COUNTRY CLUB WING of the party) are going to start lining up behind a safe, sane, boring candidate...
...either Mitt Romney or Jeb Bush (still a dark horse).
The Country Club Wing's worst fear would be a nut like Palin, Bachmann or even Gingrich getting the nod.

The Teabaggers have been completely absorbed by the Republican Party, so there should be a REAL conservative third party:
The BeckHannity Party!
This party will have only ONE CANDIDATE... Ronald Reagan... who will run for every office...
and their political philosophy will be:
Make unions and the Democrats illegal,
Make abortion illegal,
Make Mexicans illegal, and
Make African-American PRESIDENTS illegal.
Reagan will get probably 20% if the national vote... and then the BeckHannity Party will take over Washington DC with their guns... and they will kill everybody else... hence... the end of the great American experiment in Democracy. .
One sentence in his diatribe explains his whole thinking - "I don't beleive in coincidence". So everything must connected in some pattern only Beck can see. Build the web that holds it all together from your fervid imagination. This is called schizophrenia.
Hahaa, we are out to get you Beck. Put on your tinfoil and seek a place to hide. The world is trying to get you. The voices in your head are real.

We do ourselves a disservice by headlining this as madness. Beck has an audience, the teabaggers, and they have been punked by the Republican elite. The people really in control of the Republican party will try to massage this group...and they know they'll get their votes either way. What is up for grabs is that elusive enthusiasm that gets people out to vote, out to proselytize. We should be backing Beck all the way.
Beck has been desperately attempting to portray himself as a maligned martyr for years now.
