      It's truly amazing how right wingers still consider ACORN a threat. They live in a complete fantasy world.

        Not a fantasy world at all. Getting every American to vote is the biggest threat of all to conservatives.

      Stop wetting your pants, Glenn. ACORN does not plan or incite riots.

      In the history of modern civilization, I have never seen a revolution from the rich? I have never seen a revolution where the top 10% revolt against a government.

      A revolution comes from when the majority of the population live in poverty. When a society cannot feed itself, that's when a revolution strikes.

      I can see the Teabaggers pull up in their Mercedes and BMWs demanding lower taxes and how they should let GM fail because they don't care about the middle class.

      Riots and revolution are about disparate wealth.
      The top 1% of this nation owns one third of its wealth
      The next 9% of this nation owns one third of its wealth
      The bottom 90% of this nation owns one third of its wealth.

      Where do you think the revolution is coming from you moron!!!

        Actually, a revolution from the top down would probably be called a coup d'etat. But I think your point is that you've never seen one that has happened for reasons that most people would consider legitimate.

        Also, I'd like to know who Beck got seated with at the Time 100. Depending on who they are, I'd either like to console, berate, laugh at, or laugh with them.

          A Coup is usually the displacement of one government by a small group from within the existing government (often the military)

          What Beck is trying to predict as the future, is that there will be a grass root effort from the top 10% of this country to overthrow this country... when has that ever happened.

          Short of the overthrow of Colonial overlords, when has a grass roots effort from the upper class ever occurred?

          It's absurd... Glenn is trying to say that his people are being oppressed... but it's pretty lame to say that my upper class $250K plus family household is being oppressed because their taxes are being raised from 29% to 31%.

          Meanwhile, the remaining 90% of the country can't afford health care... come on Beck... you sound like an idiot.

      Why does anybody listen to this clown? He's not a conservative, he's not a journalist and he's not a very smart man. Well, he's smart in that he has figured out how to get a bunch of folks to believe that he is a smart, conservative journalist and turn that mistaken belief into lots and lots and lots of money. He's laughing his a** off at his fans . . . all the way to the bank.

      I've got actual news for you, Mr. Beck, news you can truthfully report: The revolution already took place, just this past November. The idea that the wealthy and powerful could have things all their own way was finally thrown out.

      'Then what?' Well, let's see, the last time there was a gap between the Haves and the Have-nots was in France, just before Dr. Guillotine introduced his marvelous invention to the French aristocracy. The odd thing is, by electing President Obama, and implementing his policies, just such a revolution against the wealthy ruling elite may well have been averted for the next four (hopefully eight) years. Study a bit of history, sir, and I hope you may profit by it.

      Beck has a phobia of equal rights. This can be seen in that any group that trys to get rights for the under represented or those discriminated against is evil. Glenn you need major amounts of therapy.

      ACORN has simply become Fox News' and conservative media's code word for "black folks".

      "Eeeek dont open the door for those ACORNs taking the Census!"
      "Those ACORNs stole the election!"

      This is all abou race- Glenn Beck and Faux News are not fooling anyone with this nonsense

      Is there anything conservatives aren't scared of these days?

      Latina woman in the court? SCARED!
      ACORN empowering poor people with a voice in their govt? SCARED!
      Brown people moving into our country? SCARED!
      Terrorists around every corner? SCARED!

      And so on, and so forth. Boy, for the alleged "tough guy" party, they sure are a bunch of wimps.

        How does "Terrorists arround every corner" fit with the other three. The first 3 are about increasing rights for people while the last is a reason the right uses to take rights away.

        You've gotta remember, mag; a lot of 'em are chickenhawks.

        And the funny thing is, five seconds after they remind their sheeple of what to be scared of, they shout about the USA is the most powerful country in the world.

        That's gotta confuse the heck out of the simpletons . . .

          With all their screaming that the sky is falling, makes me wonder where their faith in their God is. Either they have lost faith in their God or feel he has lost faith in them.
