December 09, 2010 10:32 pm ET by Media Matters staff
On December 9, Glenn Beck silently wrote on his chalkboard, "DEC 9, 2010, The Revolution is NOW":

He also said on today's program that "I'm going down swinging with peace and love in my heart."
Onward Christian soldiers, marching as to war.....
I suggest the word is demonstrable.
If he were a lab mouse we'd put him out of his misery, but he is human and we liberals respect human life and don't threaten violence.
In Glenn's case, he should merely retire to a remote island, Alejandro Selkirk comes to mind, where he won't hurt anyone and nobody will bother him.
The rapture is near, as was prophesied in Revelations, and the mothership will be returning soon to harvest the livestock, as it were.
Intergalactic roundup, YEEHAW!!!!
Then he goes on with his normal sociopath paranoia. Saying "don't listen to anyone but me. I have all the answers. Sell everything you don't think you need and buy gold from goldline. and store food from this other place that pays me."
He kind of uses the same tone that Olbermann uses when talking about conservatives.
when was the last time Olbermann poured 'gas' over someone and brought out a match?
when was the last time Olbermann ranted against a backdroop of Nazi marches or Communist symbols?
He's a big "student" of prewar Germany and the methods of media manipulation employed, etc.
There was another master manipulator who used similar ambiguous "nice" terms like "Hope", "faith", "charity" and who spoke and wrote thousands of times about "restoring Christianity", back in those days.

But, Glenn, what about the 4th dimension and the Matrix ?
The democrats are starting the revolution!!

"More fun for us kids. Doing simple things up against nazi's and fifth columnists."
I didn't know Beckles was on the coordination comittee?
Its gorgeous, tiny, and makes enthusiatic sounds. Not as strong as the atypical 600cc Japanese gofaster, but few can match its handling.
I been trying to ID yours as well. Looks like a good machine to cruise about on, but I can't see a lot of detail in the pic.
Happy rides too you. :)
Nice bikes.
first it was his 'ass surgery'.
then possible blindness.
then numbness in hands and feet.
. . .doesn't anything ever affect his mouth?
Its how they can yell about Obama taking two whole days to catch the brave men from Wikileaks: So in 2001, 3000+ people were killed by a man when the WTC was destroyed. When did we capture bin Laden again...? Oh, Bush shut down the group that was looking for him. Bush didnt catch him at all. But the government sure gets efficient when it wants to hurt people who demand governments be held responsible.
Thanks, right wingers, for getting the point so totally wrong you're dooming us all.
There has been no war declaration in either case.
We are at war with terror, remember.
That seems to mean we can do anything any where any when we choose because we are the biggest swinging dick on the planet at the mo and for the nonce.
It is nice to be the "biggest swinging dick on the planet". Isn't it??
The Congress never voted to go to war. However, they allowed Bushie to do his deceptive, unethical lying & illegal thing c/o of Newtie and his fetid ilk...you deceive others as well as America, schmuck.
They say liberals are irrelevant and marginal while at the same time claiming they are about to take over the world at any minute.
Eventually when it is all said and done, the Iraq invasion will be blamed on progressives... Just keep watching the chalk board.
"Resolution 1441 stated that Iraq was in material breach of the ceasefire terms presented under the terms of Resolution 687. Iraq's breaches related not only to weapons of mass destruction (WMD), but also the known construction of prohibited types of missiles, the purchase and import of prohibited armaments, and the continuing refusal of Iraq to compensate Kuwait for the widespread looting conducted by its troops during the 1991 invasion and occupation."
The fact that Iraq did not live up to the terms of the cease-fire is reason enough to invade Iraq and change the regime. Iraq had used WMD's so why was it not plausible to think he still had some.
"[W]e urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs." -- From a letter signed by Joe Lieberman, Dianne Feinstein, Barbara A. Milulski, Tom Daschle, & John Kerry among others on October 9, 1998
"Saddam's goal ... is to achieve the lifting of U.N. sanctions while retaining and enhancing Iraq's weapons of mass destruction programs. We cannot, we must not and we will not let him succeed." -- Madeline Albright, 1998

The left was right then, so what changed?
invade and there were inspectors on the ground in Iraq telling us they weren't finding anything. SH was complying with the demands from the UN and US before the invasion. It is clear that we were lied into the invasion.
U.N. Panel Rejects Bush Stance on Military Action
By Colum Lynch
Washington Post Staff Writer
Wednesday, December 1, 2004; Page A15
UNITED NATIONS, Nov. 30 -- An influential U.N.-appointed panel challenged the Bush administration's right to use military force against an enemy that does not pose an imminent military threat. The 16-member panel, which was appointed by U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan after the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, said in a long-awaited report that only the U.N. Security Council has the legal standing to authorize such a "preventive war."
The panel's findings reflect persistent international unease over the U.S. invasion of Iraq last year without an explicit council endorsement, noting that "there is little evident international acceptance of the idea of security being best preserved by a balance of power, or by any single -- even benignly motivated -- superpower." It also recommends the establishment of five guidelines that must be met before force can be legitimately used -- including a determination that force is used as a last resort and that the threat is serious.
"If there are good arguments for preventive military action, with good evidence to support them, they should be put to the Security Council," the report said. But "in a world full of perceived potential threats, the risk of the global order . . . is simply too great for the legality of unilateral preventive action . . . to be accepted."

Also, I'm certainly not going to take anything from a site called "RightWingNews" seriously. Try diversifying your sources instead. Try AljazeeraEnglish, they are 10 times more credible than any BS right-wing blog.
Its kind of like Beck's war on progressives. The narrative fits the agenda but really, there is nothing there.
"...and this man on my lips."
What can I say, it's Friday.
He didn't seem like a guy who was worried about the second day of revolution.
I report, you decide!
Thank You for the information...I had never heard this story before!!
Like how he told a muslim congressman (paraphrasing) "How do I know I can trust you?"
Listen Jake5, put down the kool aid. Beck gets paid millions of dollars because gullible people like you think he's reliable and eat up every terrible word he says.
He implied that Ellison is an enemy of the United States simply because of his religious belief. Just because it was in the "preamble" to an interview and just because Beck wormily couches his "question" with the cowardly "I'm not asking this, but people are maybe thinking of asking this" BS, doesn't make his remarks to Rep. Ellison any less disrespectful (and stupid).
"We're an entertainment company," Beck says.

Or do you believe that Progressives, lead by wealthy elites are about to force our country into socialism at gunpoint.
Do you work for FOX? "We have the best ratings in cable news, so of course we must be fair & balanced. I mean, look at our ratings!"
Laughable litmus test to apply...
BTW, do you frequent socialist public libraries? BAD RIGHT-WINGER!!!
Strange criteria for not bothering to read a book, yes?
why does personal responsibility mean nothing to you guys.by the way what,if any ,of his actions could lead one to believe that he has repented and become a better person?

Are you part of Beck's "Revolution"?
you're condemning me for pulling things out of my a$$ when it comes to DEFENDING GLENN BECK!? ARE YOU SERIOUS!??!?!?!?!?
Wow.
This is the sad state of glenn supporters. So a$$backwards they crap out of their mouth.
YOU are defending Beck by saying I'M pulling things out of my a$$, when Beck is the one who makes millions of dollars making outrageous claims that he pulls from... where? oh right, his a$$.
Now insert my closing zing of
and there we go.
I wonder if he is able to sleep at night, since it would seem that almost everyone is coming to get him.
I think he does believe. I think Beck convinced himself of a few things years back and to keep up the illusion, he has to go farther down the road of conspiracy and fear mongering.
If progressives are evil, going back to the turn of the last century, then certainly they must be everywhere, plotting and preparing for attack.
If the revolution has begun, then we can we expect Beck's listeners to begin to grab their weapons any day now.
I can just picture whole 'living areas' of nursing homes and assisted-living centers with this gospel blaring for hours at a time and organizing taking on a whole different meaning!!!
This man is truly a prophet of lunacy.... and it's ALL a lie.. But, what great entertainment if you're in the mood for a mind-wipe..

"Verry interestingck,.... But stupid"
there is no Jennifer Connelly to give him a contact with reality
he is yelling fire in a crowded theater without caring about the consequences
Instead there are all those real Americans who cheer him on and wan't to believe all this.
Being lied to and manipulated does not bother his fans at all. For some reason they would rather fear an imminent attack from progressives than actually face those that are actually manipulating and taking advantage of them.
prophecy.
