Beck: "There is a coup going on ... it has been done through the guise of an election"

Beck's paranoia continues: "What they have to do is break my legs. What they have to do is silence me"

      Marxist takeover? Yes, today at 7-11 I purchased a commemorative Friedrich Engels Slurpee collectors' cup.

      Later, Transformers.

      You know, if it weren't for Karl Marx, this country wouldn't have made some of the advances it's made.

      Beck or Quinn or one of the other radio/TV hosts who engage in this kind of paranoid rhetoric are dangerous. I realize they are speaking this way to increase ratings, but one of their loosely wrapped listeners is going to kill somebody someday. These kind of irresponsible talking heads are going to incite somebody to do some real harm.

      It's McCarthyism all over again. Glenn Beck, via the boycott, has managed to flip it into his favor to paint individual people as communists and Marxists now.

      I'm not sure what side's going to cave first.

        Glenn Beck is winning nothing. Glenn Beck is a nut case who is drawing attention to himself as crazy people are often able to do. He is this close to a nervous breakdown and oblivion.

          Well, I never said he was winning. McCarthy never "won", but he is in history books. That is likely Beck's ultimate aim--to become infamous in history books.

      A Marxist take-over happening all around us, eh, Jim? Well, then why don't you and Glenn quit fooling around and put out a call for the militias to take the country back? Or are you and Glenn just going to keep whining instead?

        You're leaving out the most important part; It's LITERALLY a Marxist takeover. "Literally" is a word wingnuts use when speaking, in place of the all-caps and exclamation points they use when writing.

          I think the bottom line here is that Jim Quinn and Glenn Beck want somebody else to do the fightin' for them. Genuine Kentucky Fried Chickens...

      Beck's program is well researched? We are undergoing a Marxist takeover. I thought Beck had reached the epicenter of nuttiness. It appears he may not be alone.

      WOMAN: I thought we were an autonomous collective.

      DENNIS: You're fooling yourself. We're living in a dictatorship. A self-perpetuating autocracy in which the working classes--

      Earth to Jim Quinn:

      Your side simply losing an election does NOT constitute a "Marxist takeover of the United States" . . .
