Beck's latest conspiracy theory: N.O. levees were allowed to fail to hide ACORN corruption?!?

From the September 11 edition of Premiere Radio Network's The Glenn Beck Program:

"It doesn't take a genius"...
...to know better than to admit this stuff is cavorting untethered inside your head, Glenn?
It's actually George Soros' fault.
Listen to what he was saying in the clip
1. Those living in N.O. knew the levees would not hold, correct. Documentation proving this information available at the N.O. Levees website.
2. Was there money being held back from corrupt individuals in the area that would have keep money going to the levees Corp of Engineers to fix the levees, correct. (Read some of the news articles about the Levee board in New Orleans and how the funds were used for other things not related to the levees.
3. Did Acorn and SCIU lose paperwork during the Hurricane? If so, is there proof that this happen? If not the Glenn is lying. Did the offices of ACRON and SCIU get flooded, did they not prepare for the Hurricane like the local government insisted?
4. Is the local Government in N.O. corrupt? Correct.
So tell me, where did Glenn say anything about the Army of Corps answering to community organizers, he did not, which makes you a liar.
Who listens to Glenn, believe it or not, he has a very large audience, and you on the left are going nuts about this guy, and just love watching you all freak out. He continues to expose those on the left that have either ties to communism, or socialist ways of thinking. The United States is neither a Communist nor a Socialist government. We are a Republic and have no desire to be the others. I do not care if you are a Democrat of a Republican, if you do not believe that, then you are not an American believer. I think we have too much Government in our lives; we need to go back to the basics and follow the Constitution, and then let the states gain the control that they were intended to have under the Constitution.
And the caller is even more brain dead than Beck, because she is falling for this drivel.
ACORN and the SCIU have nothing to do with this at all.
Just because someone has a large audience does not make them anymore truthful than if they had a small audience.
Nobody was trying to make the government of the US a socialist or a communist state. Lots of things would have to happen for that to happen, and Van Jones (who you're referring to no doubt) considers himself, yes, a capitialist.
I'm not on the left and the reason I'm "going nuts" over this guy is because he is DANGEROUS because many of the folks who are in his large audience BELIEVE his bs and several have acted on it. Actually, the folks he is laughing at are his faithful followers. He knows we've figured him out. I figured him out years ago.
Thanks for the lecture, though. We appreciate your time.
By then it was too late and people were stranded and dying. How's that for compassionate conservatism?
You say we have too much government in our lives. That's cool. So you're against a government ban on abortions?
I watch Beck's TV show nearly every night on Fox. He's a very smooth and effective peddler of fear, anger and hatred. You go for that, that's your right. And we call it out, and that's our right. You don't like it when we call it out? Cry me a river.
Uh, yeah. And they couldn't get enough funding from the "government spending is socialism" crowd. The same ones trying to block Obama's spending on infrastructure now.
>>3. Did Acorn and SCIU lose paperwork during the Hurricane? If so, is there proof that this happen? If not the Glenn is lying. Did the offices of ACRON and SCIU get flooded, did they not prepare for the Hurricane like the local government insisted?
I don't know, and neither do you. Does it matter? It has nothing to do with the flood or the levees.
>>The United States is neither a Communist nor a Socialist government. We are a Republic and have no desire to be the others.
A democratic republic actually. Which means we can decide to levy taxes and promote the general welfare and all of that stuff.
Now all you need is a Don't Tread On Me flag and a hat decorated with tea bags and you're all set for tomorrow.
"It's almost like you're a local Glenn!" Gag, what a loser.
Beck's "theory" is that ACORN, seeing the "opportunity" that the hurricane created, sabotaged the levies in order to destroy their own records and blame Bush? He's just making fun of this caller, and his listeners, and of course they have no clue that they are just his reliable army of useful idiots.
You must get deep inside the Cons mind to understand this. I went into that cold, dark place one afternoon..it is equivalent to a void.
Hurricane Carter is a member of ACORN. Hurricane Carter is probably an X-MAN. Therefore, Hurrican Carter was called upon to create a hurricane using his powers to destroy New Orleans. Now, how hard is that to understand? Republicons have know problem with it. Gee..
Thomas Jefferson
so basically ACORN is now responsible for Katrina now.. did they use their weather machine to steer Katrina towards New Orleans too?
what i don't get is why glenn does not change into his BeckMan tights and fly down there to save the day.
DR. EVIL!!!!!!
faillibrul would believe it if Becky said it.
Nice. Very nicely done. I truly appreciate that.
ACORN are the new Masons everyone! They're involved in running the country behind closed doors, backed by poor people.
I pity da foo'.
Anyone who I know who was either from NO, or lived there during Katrina all knew that with this storm, the levees weren't going to hold. They had been predicting this for years on end, and they never fixed them.
Beck comes up with this cockamamy story about ACORN, and SCIU conspiring to not fix the levees, what a crock.
How anyone can believe in this lunatic is just beyond me.
Every day the crazy man says something crazy.
Every day the sane people talk about what the crazy man says and are surprised that he is able to out crazy himself.
The crazy man might someday run out of crazy things to say and accidently say something not crazy but don't hold your breath waiting because it might be a long wait.
He's a class act, this Mr. Beck. How shameful.
Glenn Beck: "ACORN ACORN ACORN ACORN, ACORN ACORN, ACORN, ACORN ACORN ACORN!"
Oh, and I'm not a liberal, I'm a moderate conservative. Your support of Beck indicates that you are not a conservative.
I'm not confused at all. It is quite normal to be a moderate conservative or a liberal. I have many conservative viewpoints, but I also have many liberal viewpoints. That's called being a normal human being. Glenn Beck is not a conservative nor is anyone who believes the crock that is reported on Fox. That is not conservatism.
And I look forward to you writing a grammatically correct sentence.
But, please Mark, show us what corruption Beck has exposed. That Rockefeller was a liberal? That ACORN caused the levees to break? I would love to hear your simple mind defend this ridiculous premise.
You stinker!
The absolute silence from the other media outlets is disturbing. The students who exposed the corruption in Maryland (ACORN) is doing the work that seasoned journalists used to do.
But you've got to hand it to him; he's truly a conservative. Did you notice how he ended this segment by saying the only reason he goes to New Orleans is for the hookers? I bet he and David Vitter get a group rate!
HE'S BRINGING CRAZY BACK, BABY!
