After stating, "I am not saying that Barack Obama is a fascist," Beck compares auto bailout to actions of German companies "in the early days of Adolf Hitler"

I'm not saying Glenn Beck is a dry-drunk, loudmouthed, idiot . . . well, I guess I am.

I'm not comparing Glenn Beck to a 5 month old baby, but is actions are completely identical to one.

I am not saying Glenn Beck is a clown, but I think he'd look good in a red nose and size 60 shoes.

I think Beck needs extensive inpatient therapy.

So, if he's not calling Obama a fascist (he is), then why does he keep saying we're going down the road to fascism now instead of socialism?

This is the most irresponsible practicing of journalism that I've seen since the Clinton years for certain. And by irresponsible, I mean, these guys, like Beck, are saying things that are going to incite certain elements within our society to "take action" to take their country back from the socialists/fascists/commies, or whatever label he's giving them.

I think that he is being irresponsible because he's inciting. He's inciting potential violence to our politicians, leaders, and to our President, mostly because he's fear mongering a certain aspect of our country, and well, some people, can become quite unhinged. I'm realistically scared for the life of our President if this keeps up, and no, I don't think I'm overreacting at all.

Two Mad, Apocalyptic, Tearful Rising ( or former rising ) Stars*: Glenn Beck’s ironic connection to Adolf Hitler

The only difference between Beck and Hitler is that the latter sent Jews to concentration camps, whereas Beck wants to do this to Muslims.

Beck also ‘forgets’ that when, ironically, he compares President Obama, the New York Times, Al Gore, and other Liberal advocates to the Nazis, in actuality, Hitler believed that socialism was a right-wing ideology, and equal to Aryan ( German ) supremacism, or nationalism. Thus Hitler’s creation of the Orwellian term national socialism.

Beck also makes all these bizarre comparisons because he is a sycophant of Newspeak mastermind Jonah Goldberg. Goldberg was the author the Orwellian, DoubleThink, Newspeak ‘Liberal Fascism’, which fails to mention either of the last two terms even once in it’s 487 pages.

* title, minus words in parenthises, of recent NYT article on Beck

brnagn70, as long as the the extreme right tries to deny its own fascism by using the Orwellian, DoubleThink, Newspeak Jonah Goldberg 'logic' that fascism equals marxism and socialism, your side will sink further into fascism.

If you knew anything about history, you would know that, in regards to fascists versus marxists and socialists, these were vicious enemies. Both Mussolini, as well as Hitler' loathed and battled against marxists and socialists, as the latter term is generally known. One reasons that both Mussolini and Hitler came to power was their anti-marxist extremism.
