Glenn Beck Has A ‘Plan’ To Sell Books With March On Washington On The Anniversary Of MLK Speech
Glenn Beck Has A ‘Plan’ To Sell Books With March On Washington On The Anniversary Of MLK Speech
Yesterday, while promoting his latest book at “a festive campaign-style rally” in The Villages in Florida, Fox News host Glenn Beck announced that he was crafting “a 100 year plan” that will be “radical” and will “restore our nation to the maximum freedoms we were supposed to have been protecting.” In his speech, which Media Matters captured on video, Beck told his followers, “we need to start thinking like the Chinese“:
BECK: I’ve done a lot of reading on history in the last few years and I was amazed to find that what we’re experiencing now is really a ticking time bomb that they designed about 100 years ago, beginning in the progressive movement. And they thought, “you know what, if we just do this and this and this and this, over time if we do it in both the Republican and Democratic parties, we will have our socialist utopia.” Well, I say again, two can play at that game. I am drafting plans now to bring us back to an America that our founders would understand. … We need to start thinking like the Chinese. I’m developing a 100 year plan for America. A 100 year plan. We will plant this idea and it will sprout roots.
Watch it:
At the rally and in a letter on his website, Beck said that he planned to organize a series of conventions in seven regions of the country, where his supporters can go to learn about “self-reliance, community organizing, the economy and how to be a political force in your own neighborhood and country.” The conventions will culminate in a new book by Beck called The Plan and a march on Washington to launch it:
- All of the above will culminate in The Plan, a book that will provide specific policies, principles and, most importantly, action steps that each of us can take to play a role in this Refounding.
- On August 28, 2010, I ask you, your family and neighbors to join me at the feet of Abraham Lincoln on the National Mall for the unveiling of The Plan and the birthday of a new national movement to restore our great country.
Hot Air’s Allahpundit notes that the date of Beck’s DC event “happens to be the anniversary of the ‘I Have a Dream’ speech” by Martin Luther King, Jr. “Eschewing the title of ‘leader’ is thus a curious display of modesty from a guy who thinks his book launch is worthy of a modern-day March on Washington with him in the MLK role,” writes Allahpundit.
But not everyone thinks Beck is just elaborately promoting his next book. “He might just be trying to sell books, but there are much simpler ways to sell books,” Media Matters’ Ari Rabin-Havt told the New York Times, adding that “Beck sounded more like a presidential candidate than a pundit.”

November 22nd, 2009 at 10:44 amBeck has delusions of adequacy
November 22nd, 2009 at 10:45 amSounds as though he sees himself as the Messiah.
November 22nd, 2009 at 10:49 amThis man has serious mental problems yet so many Americans follow his every word. It is frightening in the sense that in the past a mentally unstable person has risen to power because ignorant people believed his every word.
November 22nd, 2009 at 10:49 amWait, wait, wait.
I thought “community organization” was a weakness. After all, Obama was a community organizer, right, Rudy G.?
Well, here is your community organizer, GOP. A radical demanding that America put a stop to radicals.
November 22nd, 2009 at 10:49 amPurple state
I see him as more of a radical braindead cretin demanding America share his delusions
November 22nd, 2009 at 10:53 am“BECK: I’ve done a lot of reading on history in the last few years and I was amazed to find that what we’re experiencing now is really a ticking time bomb that they designed about 100 years ago, beginning in the progressive movement.

Reading “on history” and connecting the imaginary dots will get you into trouble.
Who is “they”?
November 22nd, 2009 at 10:55 amOh, I don’t see Beck as being brain-dead, E.D.
Far from it. I think he’s actually TOO smart. Meaning that he’s got the thoughts from a million voices running around in his head.
I find Beck to be nothing but an evangelist. He peddles his books and Goldline plugs on tours, then spews empty promises about ways to change America into something resembling the 13 colonies.
If Beck wants his 13 colonies, he’s going to have to realize that he would be destroying the fabric of this nation in the process much more than he envisions Obama doing it.
November 22nd, 2009 at 10:56 amI am meeting my Dad for dinner in The Villages later today. I’m glad this moronic event was yesterday. Now I can’t be tempted to stop by and create some havoc :)~
November 22nd, 2009 at 10:59 amI couldn’t agree more.
In China, you have a choice between being religious, or being involved in politics.
An excellent idea.
November 22nd, 2009 at 11:01 amA lot of people listen to this loon.
November 22nd, 2009 at 11:01 amI knew when Obama got elected it was going to take the brakes off a lot of
crazies.
Maybe they’ll burn themselves out but don’t count on it.
well, if there IS any justice, and nerve, and righteousness, left in d.c., a permit for the 8/28 “rally” should be turned down on principle alone – that day should be reserved for the MLK anniversary…
my guess is, the beckheads will show up ready to make trouble with and for the black population there that day…
and maybe that’s why he picked that date…
bleck needs to be shut down, and quick…
November 22nd, 2009 at 11:01 amBy the way….The Villages is a huge retirement community that, incredibly, has one of the highest STD rates in the country. At least the old farts at yesterday’s rally weren’t infecting each other after bingo yesterday.
November 22nd, 2009 at 11:02 amNow all Beck has to do is figure out how to convince his followers that shifting the tax burden to them away from him is a good idea and will expand their “freedom.”
November 22nd, 2009 at 11:04 amMinus the extraneous “yesterday” in my post @ 14 ;)
November 22nd, 2009 at 11:05 amcommunity organizing? well well, this loon has come a long way…;~)
this 100-year plan sounds more like a take-the-country-back-100-years plan.. you know this is what many of these right-wing clowns really want.. (blacks in their place, women in their place, no reproductive freedom (which also means no contraceptives..), no unions… etc etc.. )
he sounded more “like a presidential candidate”?? oh man, BRING IT!!!!! Palin/Beck.. how sweet that sounds!! (or Beck/Palin.. doesn’t make a difference, actually, which clown is on top of the ticket…)
ha ha ha ha.. what would we do without these clowns to provide us with comic relief??
November 22nd, 2009 at 11:05 amDecoding Mr. Beck:
Beck: I’ve done a lot of reading on history in the past few years.
Decoded Beck: I’ve read Mein Kampf, The Turner Diaries and Going Rogue
Beck: I plan to organize a series of conventions where his supporters can go to learn about “self-reliance, community organizing, the economy and how to be a political force in your own neighborhood and country.
Decoded Beck: I am organizing a seven region right wing extremist party and encourage my loony supporters to organize their own extremist groups and spread terror in and around their own neighborhoods and country.
November 22nd, 2009 at 11:06 amOops…forgot to add American History For Dummies to books Beck has read on American history.
November 22nd, 2009 at 11:08 amChucky
You are a funny guy more like:
Stupid. delusional. Beck
November 22nd, 2009 at 11:08 amFox Propaganda network has created a nightmare even they can’t contain.
November 22nd, 2009 at 11:09 amThese guys are getting desperate. I think MAYBE in a hundred years they MIGHT be able to win another election.
November 22nd, 2009 at 11:10 amSounds like Beck is more interested in selling his book, then “fixing” the country.
November 22nd, 2009 at 11:11 amAnd they thought, “you know what, if we just do this and this and this and this, over time if we do it in both the Republican and Democratic parties, we will have our socialist utopia.”
Interesting tack here. Becky combines his standard conspiracy theorist delusion with a straw man. It produces something quite breathtaking.
Becky is really in the avant-garde of the right-wing crazy movement.
November 22nd, 2009 at 11:14 amof course this moronic deluded clown deep down knows very well that his “100-plan” is going nowhere and will simply not come to pass.. it’s really just a marketing ploy to sell his book… the man, after all, is following one of the most fundamental tenets of American tradition: if have you to lie to sell a product so be it.. that’s the free market in America…
November 22nd, 2009 at 11:15 amChucky
YOU are a brainwashed moron. You are funny though. I will give you that. Hilarious.
November 22nd, 2009 at 11:15 am“Fearless visionary”?
Really?
I think all his fear-driven weeping for his country belies the first part of that description, and his political presbyopia discredits the last.
November 22nd, 2009 at 11:17 amIs this the “Black Prince” that will usher in the “End of Days” . . . or just another Elmer Gantry fleecin’ the hicks?
8/28 belongs to ALL the People thanks to MLK and we should deny this circus clown the chance to defecate on history . . .
November 22nd, 2009 at 11:18 amJim Jones.
November 22nd, 2009 at 11:19 amPeck is sounding more like Jim Jones. His drones are already drinkong the kool-aid. How come the US is the only place in the world that has these outrageous white guys who can find an audience. He always mentions our founding fathers as its some kind of utopia during that time. Glenn Beck should get his listeners convince them to move with him to some location and live like our founding fathers lived. I’m sure he can get some reality show deal.
I have admit maybe I got the sht flinging Baboon all wrong.
He is trying to kill the gNOpig party!
Thank you, Baboon!
November 22nd, 2009 at 11:26 amWhat exactly is this 100 year Chinese Plan??
Start with a Cultural Revolution, force all your Physicists into the turnip field…
and then turn on a dime…declare that Wealth is Glorious… and beat the pants off of the West by Out Capitalisting the Capitalists.
The fact is… Today China is run by Engineers who are excellent Managers without any other ideology than staying in power.
November 22nd, 2009 at 11:27 amReminding me of Howdy Doody the puppet, Beck is a dangerous combination of Joe McCarthy, Elmer Gantry,Father Coughlin,and Mussolini! He will explode one day and the sooner the better, for the country and the world!
November 22nd, 2009 at 11:27 amGreed,self infaution,and a unsatible lust for power will be the doom for the rest of the Regressive Republican Party and the lemmings they attract!
What does he mean “start thinking like the chinese”? does this mean he wants the US to be a quasi-communist dictatorship?
November 22nd, 2009 at 11:27 amCould someone please alert me if there is one original, non reactionary thought in Beck’s book?
November 22nd, 2009 at 11:27 amAll he did with history is rewrite it,like he did with his story about Tom Paines common sense,but I have to hand it to him he is funny……………dangerously funny though.Does he know that our founding fathers were either Deist and Unitarian and a few Xtians that demanded absolute seperation of church and state.I can see the book burning,children in brown uniforms and huge rally`s at night and the fear mongering about Medicare,Medicaid,social security and our country`s flailing and crumbling infrstructure.

November 22nd, 2009 at 11:31 amDoes this 100 year plan include gun powder and spaghetti noodles??????????????????
November 22nd, 2009 at 11:31 amThe start of 10 more wars better be in this “100 year plan”, Beck.
I’ll get the first one started: “What are you looking at, Norway?”
November 22nd, 2009 at 11:32 amThe 100 year plan includes writing 200 more books on a whim.

It’s about Glen Beck selling books and being a big man.
November 22nd, 2009 at 11:39 amHe’s a sociopathic addict. People with these type personalities are often good at manipulating people to further their own ends.
There are enough gullible suckers in this country to allow him to be successful in his con.
Of course, like any good conman he is reading his audience (marks) and telling them what they want to hear.
Thanks for the whack job last night, OSTL. You’re the only troll who showed, lurking under the shadows, of course.
November 22nd, 2009 at 11:39 amBeck is just another loudmouth conservative who will not run for a political office because he fears rejection at the polls. We have an unending supply of these loudmouths. They are a lot of talk and no action.
November 22nd, 2009 at 11:39 amBeck and his Beckies are now, officially, a CULT.
He clearly learned a lot from studying Joseph Smith and Mormonism (Scientology and the Peoples Temple too no doubt).
Next he’ll have his Beckies wearing Magical Patriot Underwear!

does it involve tp?
if so, thank you for your continued patronage.
100 years of tp success!

November 22nd, 2009 at 11:48 amSince the last Project for a New American Century went so well, Beck is actually planning the Next Project for the Next American Century?
Actually, I think Katy at @12 has it right. Beck just wants to keep stirring up the race pot with some kind of “Major Event” on MLK’s anniversary.
Real patriotic Glenn.

No, no, no, no, no…
He sounds much more like an insane megalomaniac than a presidential candidate. With much emphasis on the ‘insane’.
November 22nd, 2009 at 11:56 amI can’t help to think of Hitler’s great plans for Germany.
Beck is going to unveil his 100 yr plan. Don’t know about the rest of you but they said Hitler was a sick puppy and he had the coorporste backing.
I am telling you, Beck is appealing to people with money who want a lot more. Insight the masses and thay will do anything you want. Could be the start of what happened in Germany in the 1920’s. Give it some thought.
Hitler is Beck’s hero and don’t forget it.
November 22nd, 2009 at 11:56 amso…

November 22nd, 2009 at 11:57 amThanks Bovine.
You just made me $20 bucks.
I made a bet that you would take the bait and go straight for the Van Jones irrelevancy.
For a moment I thought you’d mention the sht flinging Baboon’s 9/12 farce, but I took into account your racism and bigotry, so the Van Jones was the safest bet.

November 22nd, 2009 at 12:04 pmThing is, one of the trolls I graciously employ has create multiple sign-ins for the purpose of wittling down any votes I get on posts that simply reflect the true views of my party.
You trolls are going to see some odd pivoting in the coming weeks as debate begins. Faux concern for “cutting Medicare” will become “cut corporate Medicare advantage, go ahead, because I know you shitheaded Americans want more low-overhead government in your lives.” That’s the kind of rhetoric that will spew out of the senate floor, unvarnished.
How will you staff trolls vote it down then, out of frustration of the cat being let out the bag?

November 22nd, 2009 at 12:06 pm“Glenn Beck Has A ‘Plan’ To Sell Books With March On Washington On The Anniversary Of MLK Speech”
Beckerhead’s “plan” is to stuff his pockets with cash given to him by stupid people. The “plan” should work very well as the people that listen to him are very stupid indeed.
November 22nd, 2009 at 12:07 pmThere are a number of things wrong with what Beck said.
First of all, there is no Progressive Plan that was begun a hundred years ago. If there was, I think a lot of us would have heard about it by now (thanks to the Internets), and we would have been talking about how this or this or this or this wasn’t “going according to plan.” So I have to seriously doubt such a plan ever existed outside Beck’s slightly warped mind.
Second, there is a Conservative Plan that has been in effect for about seventy years, and it is this plan that has brought us to where we are today – where crazy-ass right-winger ideas are given equal credibility and weight with intelligent, well-thought-out Progressive ideas. It has, in fact, been the cause of the breakdown in civil, rational discourse we see today. (Look up fromer Supreme Court Justice Lewis Powell’s “Powell Doctrine”. It has nothing to do with former Sec of State Colin Powell’s “Powell Doctrine”.)
Lastly, is Beck trying to say the Chinese are Progressives? He said that the Progressives had a 100-year plan. Then he said we had to “start thinking like the Chinese”. Then he said he was coming up with his own 100-year plan. I thought it was Progressives who had the 100-year plan. How did the Chinese get in there?
November 22nd, 2009 at 12:08 pmOSTL= rapist acronym
November 22nd, 2009 at 12:12 pmWhat a great country we could become again if we took all this deranged energy and put it to good use like rebuilding America, feeding the poor, creating green jobs, cleaning up the cities and rural areas as well. What a sick puppy this guy is!
November 22nd, 2009 at 12:12 pmProgressives are not Communists, OSTL. Communists are Communists. And the Chinese are Authoritarians, not Progressives.

November 22nd, 2009 at 12:14 pmSo, Bovine, let me ask you a discreet question.
Are you in love with the sht flinging Baboon because he is a racist like you, because he is certifiable demented like you, because he has no college education like you, because he has inserted heavens-know-what into his body cavities like you, or all of the above?
November 22nd, 2009 at 12:15 pmBtw OSTL, are you happy you caught your tail now? Maybe you can quit peeing on all the furniture.
November 22nd, 2009 at 12:15 pmIt’s like a dingbat supermarket out there.

Perhaps all the repiggie men will want to have sex with Glenn Beck.
Gotta get those gosh-danged books sold, you betcha!
November 22nd, 2009 at 12:39 pmSo now we see what Glenn Beck really is: He’s basically a televangelist. A huckster. A late-night pitchman selling seminars and book/DVD/audio combo packages that will allegedly help you get rich through flipping real estate. A human-potential-movement cult leader who promises life breakthroughs in exchange for participation in costly ‘religious’ or ‘therapy’ programs.
Beck’s conventions will apparently be seminars, in which suckers (God-loving patriots) will learn all about the voices in Beck’s head (Beck’s vision for a better future).
And when I say “future,” I mean future — Beck claims to be working on a “100 year plan.”
I’ve heard of long cons, but this is ridiculous.
November 22nd, 2009 at 12:41 pmDoes that mean there was a run on the latest Newsweek mag?
November 22nd, 2009 at 12:42 pm“Dr. Hussein Matt says:

November 22nd, 2009 at 12:43 pmJeffy Bovine,
I have to run a few errands to run, but before leaving, I want to ask you why is it that hardcore, conservative intellectuals think of the sht flinging Baboon as something stinky stuck to the bottom of their shoes.
See ya.

November 22nd, 2009 at 12:45 pmHe’s RIGHT! This is exactly what the rest of us should be doing instead of reading stupid blogs and waxing snark. The political system is broken. There isn’t any more “us vs. them.”
The blogosphere doesn’t get it. The only choices now are self-reliance and community organizing. Forget about the “political force” bit. Forget about politics. How will you eat? Where does your water come from? How will you keep your children warm?

Let Glen Beck take up the cause of people being entitled to rights not corporations. Corporations should have rights to necessary to do their business, not to influence the political debate.
November 22nd, 2009 at 12:50 pmAnyone who needs Glenn Becks advise on how to be self reliant, as if that alone werent a contradiction in terms, is already far too stupid to pull it off
November 22nd, 2009 at 12:50 pmTJ, the big problem with that argument is the fact that they fit Obama pretty well too on the campaign trail. Didn’t he stress community organization and drive the GOP nuts with those words?
So…if Obama’s so bad for America, what’s to say that Beck doesn’t do the same thing that Obama does?
November 22nd, 2009 at 12:51 pmMy, my, Glenda. That was a big steaming pile of bold, fresh bullshit.
Hmmmm. We “have to think like the Chinese”…?
Say, Glenda, the Chinese practice forced abortion – so are you saying you’re in favor of forced abortion…? Of only liberal babies, of course!
Do tell!

The Corprocrats love these self-reliance folks. The one thing they fear more than anything is an organized, cooperating general populace. They have a long and infamous history of doing anything to prevent all forms of social organization.
They understand the old axiom…’United we stand, Divided we fall’. They are pretty well united in their drive to insure profits and the status quo. And they dam sure don’t want the other side getting united against them.
November 22nd, 2009 at 1:05 pmBeck has made one particularly glaring mistake: that Fox viewers can read.

November 22nd, 2009 at 1:13 pmWell, it’s obvious that the history Beck read didn’t include anything about what is referred to at this link;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_Era
One of my first thoughts on reading the Beck post was, “Teddy Roosevelt? Boy, that’s a pretty serious Socialist for ya.” (snark)
Fracking idiot Glenda is off her meds again…
November 22nd, 2009 at 1:22 pmWho will be the one to silence this dangerous moron?
November 22nd, 2009 at 1:22 pmI wonder what Glenn does during his depressive phase.
November 22nd, 2009 at 1:24 pmBy “silence” I mean the removal of his public platform.
Do we have to wait for his mental collapse on screen?
November 22nd, 2009 at 1:24 pmLet’s make sure we document VERY carefully what Beck says when he pontificates to the other media and any one with a microphone/camera readily available. Beck TAKES NO SIDES and/or ADVOCATES NOTHING!! Absolutely NOTHING. He uses his pundit platform to cajole, prod, push, spin, lie, create and strawman a ‘beck vision’ of a 1860’s place that he believes his followers want as a replacement for their environment today.
Now remember, Beck has taken no side on any issue and has advocated NOTHING..He has merely suggested…He merely suggested that his followers ‘have to decide today’ whether or not they will continue down the path they are on with their current ‘country’; they have to decide, based on beck’s suggestions whether they want a 2074-page Health Care reform package (1st pass) that represents the first change in our system of patches and payoffs, in 65-years since the passage of Medicare. OR, do they want to go back to the small, ‘just a few pages’ of the original Constitution which advocates NONE (in beck’s world) of today’s taxes or health care or government systems/support or institutions… And contrary to what Virginia Foxx will say next week, the republicans DID NOT pass Medicare…
They, his ‘followers’ have to decide today whether or not their current government is working in their best interest in Blythsville, Arkansas or East Battle Creek, Michigan or Walla-Walla, Washington or whether or not they, Beck followers, should rise up and take their governmental back – by force. He hasn’t come straight out and said that his followers have to pick up weapons and take out their local authorities (not just police but Beck-defined local non-relating politicians) but he’s close…Give him a few more weeks and it won’t be very subtle any more.
So, what will he be spewing by the time he gets around to not advocating anything in August of next year… You pick…

November 22nd, 2009 at 1:33 pm@ 39. What the GOP REALLY means … says: The start of 10 more wars better be in this “100 year plan”, Beck. I’ll get the first one started: “What are you looking at, Norway?” November 22nd, 2009 at 11:32 am
Damnitol, WtGRm…, ya cain’t just go starting some damn war like that. Ya gotta show a little forethought. Norway is kind of a tough nut; it’s a beach of a country to have to go up against insurgenets in. Besides that, it’s cold; if we got a bunch of snowboarders and skiers in our invasion force, maybe it’s ok for them, but no one else likes that butt freezing stuff.
We ought to go up against something geographically smaller, and perhaps a place we already know. How about “What’re you lookin’ at, Guam?”

Beck has a Moses complex because he thinks he will lead the people to the land of milk and honey. He promises a good life and happiness for everyone. Few government taxes and regulations and the country will have an economic expansion that will lead to prosperity.
The problem with his vision is that it presumes that the poor, the minorities, the elderly, the disabled, etc. are going to disappear when all the entitlement programs are abolished. They won’t disappear. The have nots will far outnumber the haves and the Bolshevik revolution will look tame.

November 22nd, 2009 at 1:46 pmI think we should continually be asking “Is Glenn Beck the Anti-Christ?” I mean, he certainly seems to meet the personality criteria. Doesn’t his “seven” conventions seem a little odd? Sounds like a seven headed beast to me. I mean all we are asking is that he should PROVE he’s not the anti-christ. Just sayin…

November 22nd, 2009 at 2:00 pmWayne A. Schneider @ 80,
I get the impression Beck’s preoccupation with China is their present economic growth. The 8 Bush years have been a convincing testimony to the dismal failure of Reganomics.
The Republicans refuse to take ownership of the failures and instead will offer the American a grand new plan to make the country great. I believe Beck is presenting the American people a fresh new Republican Party, and forgetting the baggage of the old party.
Bill Clinton demonstrated that repeated years of good governance, some practical solutions and lots of hard work can pull us out of the proverbial hole.
I know where I put my trust!
November 22nd, 2009 at 2:11 pmWhich version?
So, Glenn’s been doing “a lot of reading on history” has he?
I wonder which version, the Mormon version of history or, you know, the one that actually happened?
November 22nd, 2009 at 2:11 pmThe guy can’t manage one cogent thought on a blackboard. There’s no way he writes his own books. Though I suppose it may be able to fill a few hundred pages with inane ravings.

And yet despite the failure of Reaganomics, the Republicans have retread the message and call it a new plan.

Glenda has already announced that 9 billion people showed up

November 22nd, 2009 at 2:31 pmBeckerhead has apparently gone completely bats. Think like the Chinese, the Communist Chinese? There are no other kinds of Chinese that have been empowered. The Wrong Right worries about Socialism while their pundits blunder toward Communism? Beck should move to Red China to be closer to the source of his stupid planning for 100 years. Perhaps he could get a Chinese TV program going that would lambaste the Chinese Communist government for may one or two days before he would find himself in the Gulag. Maybe Beck is a Soviet Communist; after all, twenty five year plans equals one one hundred year plan. What a bug wit.
November 22nd, 2009 at 2:34 pmBeckerhead is of the Moron faith? I wasn’t aware of that until just now. He should climb up the Temple and take the place of the Angel Moroni and put a big locust in his mouth. That would keep him from speaking his vitriol until he swallowed the locust.
November 22nd, 2009 at 2:37 pmBeck. Anything to remain it the media. An irresponsible and key part of the problem, but the core of the problem is actually Murdoch. Murdoch is who we need to be focused on, for I belief that Beck is an irresponsible and incendiary distraction, but Murdoch is the core of the cancer.
November 22nd, 2009 at 2:43 pmMaybe his concern is genuine. I think I heard somewhere that, to that end, he’s giving away free copies of his book at the event… to further spread his message. Yes. I think that’s what I heard on the internets somewhere. Let’s make sure we let all of Beck fans we know this, and to not be too disappointed if they can’t get their free copy. The last thing we want to see is some ugly scene, like at the recent Palin book signing. No, no one wants to see that!

Is there nothing but paranoia in your life?
There is a difference between hating those that hate.. and just plain hating. If you conservatives would fcuking lighten up – if you’d stop living off of a constant push to kill and maim whoever you can.. If you didn’t live by a lust of violence and a distrust of everyone that doesn’t live exactly like you – well then, we could be friends. Serious.. these are the only things that stand between us… your constant fear and hatred of all things not exactly in your image. I’m fine with you thinking things other than what I do.. just stop supporting a policy of selfishness and death.
give peace a chance shitheads.
November 22nd, 2009 at 2:51 pmIf you want to know where Beck is probably going in regards to government, I suggest you check out W. Cleon Skousen’s nephew Joel Skousen. His website has a section entitled Philosophy of Law and Government. There you can read a book entitled Foundations of the Ideal State. Remember, W Cleon Skousen is Beck’s idol/mentor. This online book by his nephew Joel is enough to make hair stand up on your neck.
The chapters include: A Principled Approach to Law, Principles of Government, Essential Principles for the Conservation of Liberty, Philosophy of Government Compared, Citizen Compact and New Constitutional Proposal. The Citizen Compact is insane, because you would have to earn your citizenship.
The direct link is:
http://www.joelskousen.com/Philosophy/philosophy.html
It would not surprise me if his new book is based on these “Principles.”
November 22nd, 2009 at 2:52 pmThese conservatives are trying to usurp the legacy of first the Boston Tea Party and now Martin Luther King Jr. They always claim that they are the true heirs of MLK by claiming to espouse a colorblind society, when they use that term to silence claims of oppression and racism and to avoid doing anything to address the institutional racism that exists in our country. The Boston Tea Party was a protest against the Walmart of the day, the British East India Company. Now these conservatives protest in FAVOR of corporatism.
November 22nd, 2009 at 2:52 pmGeez… that’s kind of tasteless, evangenital…
I prefer the more succinct ‘Beckerheads’ myself…
BTW… when Beck says “we need to start thinking like the Chinese“, does that mean Glenn has gone Maoist on us????
November 22nd, 2009 at 3:03 pmSounds like a certain mental case who rose to power in Germany. A lot of people followed HIM too!

Very true. Most people as disturbed as Sarah generally get hospitalized before they hurt themselves. Just another failure of our health care system.
November 22nd, 2009 at 3:37 pmThis is probably going to be voted down but I have to say, Beck is Hitler-scary. He is effectively using these poor saps and their fears to their detriment. And they’ll gladly follo him.

November 22nd, 2009 at 5:00 pmGlenn Beck is insulting and disrespectful of MLK and the Civil Rights Movement. He learned about life from “St. Ronnie” which trained him and his gal pal Sarah, to think only of themselves. It’s all about them and to h*ll with the rest of us. The koolaid drinkers will be fooled. They were fooled at Jonestown and they were fooled at Wacko and they will be fooled again.

So let me get this right. Back when progressives questioned the Bush administration for getting our country stuck in two costly wars with no exit strategies, gave out tax breaks to the wealthy while we were at war, broke the FISA laws while illegally spying on American citizens we were called traitors by those on the right.
Fast forward today and suddenly those on the right wish for OUR president to fail, call for an armed revolution, pray for the death of OUR president, want to secede from the Union and these idiots on the right actually see themselves as patriots!?!
I see them as racists, mindless buffoons unknowingly fighting for corporate interests, poor losers and Anti-American right wing extremists…not patriots.

November 22nd, 2009 at 6:31 pmWow I am sure he is not aware of al Qaeda 100 year plan to engage the U.S. in civil wars in nations where the governments are not wahhabism friendly in order to bleed us of blood and treasure and to have us dispose of his enemies and create chaos allowing him and his buddies to bring the brutal extremist order to them which like in Somali they will eventually except as they see no other choice or better alternative

Unless he is a fraud and a liar

November 22nd, 2009 at 7:06 pmGlenn Beck is using his website, two national microphones, and his books to brainwash the members of his national cult…his Mormon Militia! He’s dangerous and is a domestic terrorist dressed in a suit with ridiculous sneakers.

November 22nd, 2009 at 7:37 pmI kind of like this thinking like the Chinese plan. Beck could probably gain insight to the plight of the Proletariat by a few years of digging ditch.

November 22nd, 2009 at 8:05 pmOn August 28, 2010, we should do a “festive campaign-style rally” at Glenn Beck’s house. Beck will be in Washington DC. that day with his own rally so maybe we can just burn him effigy.

November 22nd, 2009 at 8:10 pmMlk was a commie? Typical repug wingnut. never have anything constructive to say. Just disrupt and get in the way of progress. Seriously, what do you get out of coming to TP and never offering any ideas from your party that might be benefical to the well being of our country? Do you ever get tired of the same old ridiculous talking points that your told to repeat by your bosses beck and limpo. It must have sucked being raised in a household with repug parents. Im sure that ethnic slurs were the norm too. Anyway ive noticed that some of you wingnuts spend quite a bit of time on TP. Are you starting to wake up to the fact that dems and libs are the future, for the better. Trust me you will be alot happier with us libs.

November 22nd, 2009 at 8:43 pmBeck’s display of self love is truly grotesque.
November 22nd, 2009 at 9:22 pmHis plan to avoid socialism is to start thinking like the Chinese? How about if he starts to think like a sane person, that would be a fantastic start.
November 22nd, 2009 at 9:43 pm“Blacks with billy clubs?”

Just as conservatives have usurped the meaning of colorblind to perpetrate oppression and to shoot down efforts to have a race discussion, Beck is trying to do the same to MLK’s legacy by suggesting that his movement is the true heir. Ironic, because MLK fought for the rights of the worker and against economic oppression. Beck is fighting to sustain economic oppression.

November 22nd, 2009 at 11:36 pmWTF is up with the ratings system here? Reasonable anti-Beck commentary met with thumbs down, to an alarming degree. Time to give that algorithm a kick in the pants, TP tech gurus.

If Beck trashes an American flag – it’s patriotic
If Beck insults the victims of 9/11 – it’s courageous
If Beck insults the Statue of Liberty – it’s applauded
I simply don’t understand – has FOX really instituted full blown mind control? Beck given a blanket permission by his viewers to insult anything American reminds me of the way that a Black person might use the N word and it’s OK.
If Beck insults America… well, it’s only because he loves it so much.
I just don’t understand how it gets away with this.

While it,s fall good time to go hunting bucks, does and on week ends it is good fox hunting.
November 23rd, 2009 at 11:47 amThis strikes me as the most tasteless publicity stunt since a theatrical troupe presented a production of My American Cousin, complete with re-enactment of the Lincoln assassination at the “appropriate” moment. Here’s hoping that this is too much for even corporate media.
November 23rd, 2009 at 1:40 pmPlease tell me… I am curious. What “hate” and “terror” does Glenn Beck promote?
November 23rd, 2009 at 2:30 pmThese right-wing crazies are such hypocrites. I was bounced from RedState’s website Saturday and censored after indicating that Middle America is disillusioned with the political Right AND Left. Evidently, I hadn’t consumed enough of its apparatchik Kool-Aid before engaging the right-wing fringe at RedState. Oh well, so much for constructive dialogue . . .
I have visited hundreds of political websites and blogs, and I spend countless hours each day on the same, and never before have I ever been censored, never mind immediately and reflexively cut-off, for asking reasonable policy questions (you can view a string of Saturday night’s exchange at my blog, URL at the bottom). I will wear the rebuke like a badge of honor, and as a reminder of RedState’s inability to provide a forum to rationally discuss public policy issues impacting Middle America.
In fact, I was chastised for expressing my reasonable views and I was told, “You’ll find that stuff not welcomed here.” My goodness, are we in China? (Well, not yet, but we will be soon, thanks to the trillion dollars of U.S. Treasury debt China owns and America’s skyrocketing deficit, following eight years of fiscal irresponsibility in Washington, but I digress). Suffice it to say, it’s become very clear to me why the website is called “RedState”—it’s RedState’s proclivity for censorship, of course.
For the fringe on the Right, it is precisely this irrational, emotional response to reasonable inquiry that has marginalized and isolated it from normal, thinking human beings. Unfortunately, the folks at RedState continue to read and believe their own press releases, insulating them from anyone thinking outside of their tiny little circle. Like many of the fringe lunatics on the Right, it remains out of touch with voters and continues to create a vacuum in the center, which will someday be filled, but not by someone of its liking.
Middle America and the pocketbook issues that impact it everyday have been neglected too long by the far Right. Understandably, the fringe at RedState is sensitive about it and unwilling to discuss the recent failed leadership of the Right. This is disappointing, but it brings clarity to how RedState helps the Right maintain its minority and irrelevant status.
A word of wisdom for those of you on the far Right that are hard of hearing (likely from too much banjo music): Middle America is where the voters are, which, based on your irrelevancy, you do not comprehend. However, if you’d like to dig out of the hole you’ve put yourself in, stop neglecting it. It is interested in jobs, affordable healthcare, and quality education for its children; oh yes, and constructive dialogue. Americans visiting the RedState website, whether they be Red, Blue, or Purple, deserve better than being treated like pivot men in RedState’s knuckle-dragging circle-jerk.

AmericanMuser,
I assume you thought you could reasonalby engage the RedStaters in a rational discussion. I am glad that you have come to the opposite conclusion.
Yet, I am willing to bet you will keep the Fox and RedState links in place on your blog but only because you are a rational, reasonable and thoughtful person.
Kudos on your blog!
November 23rd, 2009 at 3:30 pmThere is something extraordinarily disturbing and vile about a white supremacist like Beck planning a rally on MLK Day.
November 23rd, 2009 at 3:42 pmLincoln had freaks like Beck deported.
No seriously he did.
November 23rd, 2009 at 7:55 pmI hope I will meet Glen Beck on 28AUG2010.

ps. cd, thanks for the link to the feverish fervid whore’s dance. very decadent, in a sort of Weimar way.”
You should see the whole film.
November 23rd, 2009 at 10:33 pmTaking Glenn Beck out of context and twisting the truth does not help one bit. It has stopped being affective. You will not make any progress this way.
November 24th, 2009 at 4:58 amThe article and comments raise very good points, especially regarding scheduling of Glenn’s “Refounding Day” rally on the 47th anniversary of MLK’s March on Washington and “I Have a Dream” speech, evidence, I guess, that Glenn considers himself to be the white reincarnation of Martin Luther King, with a mission to rescue disgruntled white Christian’s from their persecution (except with Glenn it will be the “I Have a Nightmare” speech). However, I’ve discovered something much more diabolical about “The Plan” — hidden code in Glenn’s own website proving that “The Plan” is demonically inspired, and that Glenn Beck is in fact in league with Satan. Read about it at http://newsericks.com/proof-that-glenn-beck-is-in-league-with-satan/, share the information with others (including your conservative friends, since the evidence is too incontrovertible for even them to deny), and download copies of the evidence before Fox and Glenn’s minions destroy it. Go to http://newsericks.com/proof-that-glenn-beck-is-in-league-with-satan/ to find the horrifying truth about “The Plan” — before it’s too late!
