      So Becky, you are basically comparing yourself to a Taliban militant using children as suicide bombers.

        He's a soft little man trying to play Army. You're right, he's projecting his own personality without even realizing what he's doing. He'd empty his bladder at the thought of having to make a real military decision.

        Shame on you Beck.

      So Beck is comparing himself to the Taliban? Sounds reasonable.

        This guy is rich, first of all, the analogy is just typical of him, he doesn't understand the differences between things, it is all just one big plot to him...

        ...SECOND OF ALL...i saw that video a few days ago, i think CNN had it, the kid that was supposedly in that video, was actually seen running away...so, for the sake of whatever point he is trying to make, he has presented the wrong info, AGAIN!!!

        Jeez this guy def relies on his viewers not caring/listening for the truth, what an absolute jack off!!!

        That's our Beck. He can't make his point intelligibly so he compares his political opponents to terrorists. Do you want to be called a terrorist?

      When an analogy is made doesn't each side of the analogy have to have some kind of similarity?

      Or is he just pulling this out of his rectum?

        That would explain his tendency to lean over his desk as well as the odd facial expressions.

        This what gets me about fans of Beck.

        They obviously saw, or heard, the clip of him calling Obama a racist
        And they then see this clip/show,

        And they can't see anything hypocritical or wrong about it?

        What is the defence for Beck?
        Any Beck fans wanna answer me there?

          I really think that the average Beck fan doesn't get hypocrisy, irony, satire, or anything else that is not clear cut, black and white.

          It seems everyone on the right wakes up to a clean slate each morning and nothing they're done in the past needs an explanation.

          Only liberals have a past and only Democrats need to explain.

            Right, it would actually hurt my head to try and figure out how just that ONE thing can't be seen by his fans, even disregarding all the other crap he does and says, how can him saying Obama's a racist and this clip not be hypocritical.

      For the truth about Glenn Beck, check out Salon's article about W. Cleon Skousen. If not the Salon piece, then do some of your own research on W. Cleon Skousen.

      Meet the man who changed Glenn Beck's life...

      Glenn Beck finally exposed for what he really is.

      If you haven't read the Salon article regarding Beck's connection with and idolization of Cleon Skousen, you should. Skousen was a certifiable, racist, lying nutjob and Beck IDOLIZES him. Beck uses Skousen's "teachings" in his radio and television programs.

        I've been decrying Glennie's fascination with Skousen for weeks. This is a dangerous work by a dangerous man who has fueled the flames of another dangerous man.

          Please keep up the good work. I think there are a lot of truly decent people, with honest differences that have gotten sucked up into this madness on the right. Any decent person should be able to see what's happening after reading up on Skousen and realize "wow".

      Glenn Beck may have finally gotten something right.

      "Why are they using terror? I contend it's because they can't make their case... They can't make their case, so what do they have to do? They have to push people through fear, intimidation and in extreme cases blowing people up."


      And what have we seen coming from the right wing?

      They suggest that there will be "Death Panels", "Indoctrination", and "Socialism". - Fear
      They show up at town halls and rallies with loaded firearms and signs calling for blood. - Intimidation
      And in a couple of extreme cases they've shot and killed a medical doctor and a security guard just this year. - "Blowing people up"

      Mr. Beck has finally gotten it right. Sadly, it was accidental (or perhaps a subconcious confession).

      This is appalling. Leave it to this man to use the awful death of a child for some crazy, incoherent political rant. If it hadn't been for MMTV's title above, I wouldn't have had any clue what this sicko was talking about. This was some sick, violent video pornography. I thank God that it was of such poor quality.
