Beck: "I was wrong. Our government is not marching down the road towards communism or socialism... they're marching us to a brand of non-violent fascism... towards 1984"

      You're trying to get Obama murdered, right Glenn? Too bad you launched your Fascist "We surround them" movement, intended to launch Oklahoma-style terror attacks against American civilians.

      God help us.

      Is that Paul Krugman as Big Brother? :-)

      Anyway. Beck is the political version of those TV preachers from the 80s. Maybe a cross between Gene Scott and Robert Tilton. That bit with the finger snap and the green screen is really beautiful theater.

      Non-violent fascism = Republicanism.

      Fascism, as I've said before, it's not quite what Beck and his cohorts think that it is. It doesn't mean what he thinks it means. Fascism is a extreme right wing ideology.

      Since Beck likes to make comparisons and associations to Hitler, I have to point out how eerily Hitler-like his mannerisms and tone of voice is.

      And did he just discover the concept of government?

      Big Brother started our economic strife.  Glenn Beck, sounding much like an evangelist, is thumping to exorcise Limbaugh.  Fox, fear, News is finding the lost and pontificating redemption.  Are these people on at the wee hours of the morning?  Bitter people make such outlandish criticisms. Fear monger!

      "non-violent fascism"...... "1984"?

      There's a lot of violence in 1984. Not that I'm shocked Beck hasn't read it.
