From the June 10 edition of Fox News Channel's Glenn Beck Program:

If a "leftist" was responsible for violence, I'd call them out. Right-minded folk seem to welcome this freakshow of violence. There's a chasm of difference between even the most partisan liberal and the most partisan conservative in 2009. The difference is body count. Zero to 3 and counting.
Becky, O'Racist, and the rest of conservative crowd are undeniably enablers of terrorism. This is now a fact. And ironically, these are the same clowns that claimed liberals support terrorism because they oppose a war based on lies. Amazing.
I wish they would include transcripts with these clips as I had to keep rewinding to try to see how to fit the pieces of the puzzle together, unsuccessfully. If it was written down it might fall into place...or maybe I'm kidding myself, that really this is just gibberish. But this is a prepared commentary (not an impromptu radio brainwave) on a big TV station -- shouldn't somebody normal have edited it for lucidity?
On the other hand, on the relatively infrequent occasions I've heard Limbaugh over the decades, I flatter myself that I've at times been able to decipher some of his peculiar rants, even some of the obviously off the cuff ones. So maybe it's a matter of familiarity. Maybe there is some rhyme or reason to Beck's riffs. It could be that with time, like how one learns a foreign language, it may become easier to decode him.
I just played it again. The Arab terrorist recruiter made perfect sense. Of course very evil, but one sentence flowed logically into the next and his overall meaning was very clear -- he successfully communicated what he wanted to say. Maybe Fox should get a translator for Beck too. But perhaps the idea isn't to communicate any particular set of properly sequenced ideas which together form one particular and distinct point to the audience. The idea may be to say things in such away that the Fox viewers can pick their own meanings, cafeteria style, to conform to what each one separately wants to believe. Effectively he may be narrowcasting to each individual Fox viewer. What seems gibberish to me may have been worked on by a battery of psychologists and sociologists to create this effect. And the cherry on top is that Beck can't be blamed as easily for saying what any of his audience members heard if he can't be deciphered and convincingly explained to non-Fox viewers without going into great detail and others having confidence in your ability to translate him over their own ears telling them that it's just a nonsensical mess.
Take a look in the mirror FOX, you ARE right wing extremists.
You and your friend Boss Limbaugh!
That's beck defending himself against accusations of inciting extremist behavior.
Well Glenn, you're not the messenger when you write the message. Or are you saying you don't write your show?
If not, who do we blame? Who's writing the message you claim to be carrying?
Or don't you write the show? If not you're just a hack...surprised?
Oh yea...I forgot to mention how Glenny boy somehow relates Judaism and all its persecutions with the American caucasian experience...
give me a break...
First Step--
Label the shooter as a lone wingnut. It's the 'he's not one of us' tactic.
Second Step--
Having distanced yourself, start to turn the event around so that it appears this is an attack on the right. Warning: This may take a lot of talking and leaps of logic.
Third Step--
Continue talking until you're certain that no one can follow you any longer.
Remember, this is not about making a logical argument, it is about distracting people and distancing yourself from any possible responsibility.
Many jewish people dislike hardliners and see the mistakes that have been made and want peace, ect.
So, why are conservatives so blind and rigid about the jewish people.
Afterall, like all people there are good and bad and in between.
And they certainly do not need someone to play over protective parent to them. The jewish people are perfectly capable of taking care of themselves and what Israel needs is a real and true friend, not a blind and indulgent one.
