A Beck show dramatic reading: Obama's czars -- or our new robot overlords?

From the September 1 edition of Fox News' Glenn Beck:

oh, that ship has sailed... talk about something that is WAY overdue.
ack, and it's only 7:50 pm...
"dicriminate"
"all to often"
I love that Murdoch is too cheap to get anyone at his network Spell Check. Constant misspellings, among other things...
Off topic, but did anyone see the running chyron on one of the morning clips? They're still calling them "homicide bombers".
Misspellings in the text. A whole portion for John Holdren's "robot" not typed out like the other McCarthyist portrayals of Van Jones, Cass Sunstein, and Mark Lloyd (I think...damned if I can read the names).
Worst of all, to hear Beck accuse the government of propaganda...Beck, who do you think you're working for?
From the second quote of Van Jones: "you have to be creative about how you engage the enemy, because if you do it on his terms, the outcome is already known"
MUST be a Commie, because that sounds like a quote from The Art of War by Sun Tzu, and we know that Chinese are Commies (never mind that Sun Tzu wrote it in about 500 BCE)
He must be a commie too.
And the guy he's quoting there on the screen shot, he's not the "diversity" Czar, he works for the FCC.
Bush had over 20 Czars Beck, and not a peep from you about those, or anyone else from the right, not a peep. But lo and behold, Obama takes office, and you guys re-discover that, GASP! The President has advisers!! OH NO! THE AMERICA I KNOW AND LOVE IS ENDING RIGHT BEFORE MY EYES!!!
Beck, you sir, are a moron and an idiot, there is really no doubt about it.
Did I miss any?
No, of course not. He learned it from watching Hannity. It is a requirement a Fox News. The more you repeat a false hood the truer it becomes, I guess, I think, yeah that must be it.
If the GOP is the Party of No, what does that make Beck? The Party of Hell No?
I think you should get a few of them yourself.
It works really well in fairness, you know, instead of looking at why the Republican/Conservative ideology didn't win the last election, create a foe outside of it, in this case Obama/Liberals, or like Beck and his comment about Obama (the racist one) the Liberal Media was the big enemy.
One thing I noticed, its a really good tactic sports managers can use to galvanise their teams, but I'm not sure Beck, Limbaugh etc. are doing a great job.
That's what I was thinking, and the cheesy heavy metal music too. He should have gone with some hardcore gangster rap to really frighten the Fox audience right outta their Snuggies.Most metal bands are white, Beck missed an opportunity here.
This is unadulterated fear-mongering disguised as "marketing". He's gimmicking his show to entertain people and simultaneously striking fear in them.
But on the plus side, my computer is now so paranoid that it is exterminating virii like never before.
I heard a few points in the quotes;
**People who aren't doing their job should be called on it.
**Overpopulation is a serious issue (and was when Holdren's quotes were written) and should be addressed if it's endangering humans in general.
**Freedom of speech/press should be looked at more deeply than "anybody can say anything", and broadcasters should be held to some standards.
Why do these things terrify wingnuts? They all have to do with personal responsibility, and require some thinking to understand them.
I'll go out on a limb and say that none of the above is anywhere near what the majority of Beck's audience is used to doing.
