        Dreck is right on this one,

        After Canada passed National Healthcare, death camps sprang up all over the country. They're still in operation today. Newsbusters did an expose on this 6 months ago. Broke the lid on it.

      This is downright dangerous rhetoric.

      If people come to really believe that America is on the road to death camps, I would figure there's a good chance many would act violently. I know Beck doesn't actually believe this, but I fear someone in his audience will....

      Fox is an utter joke. Their latest online headline actually stated that one third of pregnant women who get swine flu die-an unbelievable misread, (or intentional misrepresentation) of the facts. It looks like that embarassment has been taken down, whereas the headline that seems to put Congressman Grayson in the Senate still exists 7 hours later, "Uncivil Discourse - and Hypocrisy in the Senate on Display".

      What a freak show. Why shouldn't a freak like beck be part of the fun?

      Conservatives act as though state economic planning started yesterday. This fascist economic system we have didn't start with Obama. We have nominally privatized large companies that are heavily government directed. This has been with us since the New Deal. The companies get their market shares protected by favorable regulation( always under the auspices of the children, public safety, the environment, etc.) and in return they are expected to go along with the state's economic/social agenda. SWEET DEAL! The New Deal was largely a copy of what the Italian Fascisti Party was doing in the teens and 20's. Obama is just the latest manager of it.
      State plaNning of the money supply and artifial lowering of interest rates by our glorious central planners at the Fed created the bubble that popped last year. We've been regulating the banking system by bureaucrat for decades and instead of questioning the wisdom of that system, you lefties inevitably call for more state interventionism after the last state caused crisis.
      What's going to happen when the Fed destroys our dollar? We haven't had a gold standard in a long time to put a break on their money printing. Now they're monetizing our debt. Just creating money out of thin air. I love how Obama renominates Bernanke, who was one of the great architects of the Fed created bubble. More central planning by technocrats isn't going to get us out of this. How about we follow the constitution and have gold and silver as money again? You can't debase commodity money by creating more of it out of thin air like you can fiat money.
      Nothing is going to stop the welfare-warfare state until we get rid of one of its great enablers: the Fed.

      I get the feeling sometimes that Beck and his ilk are the ones who would really like to have death camps. Only it wouldn't be Conservatives in them.

      How can a conservative believe that this will not incite violence and that Glenn Beck is merely satire? This comment (among many) is not satire. It may be hyperbole on his part, but I am starting to believe otherwise--that he may actually believe his own rhetoric. He calls Obama an elitist and a progressive on every show. He then says the elitist progressives are leading us--our children--to death camps. He says he will hang with the crowd who defies them. If I were to believe this, why would I not take up arms--for my children?

      What happened to CONSERVATISM? Wake up! This is radicalism.

      Gee, I'm a civil servant, married to a civil servant and I live in a neighborhood where a lot of the other people are taxi drivers and furnace repairmen, my kids went to public schools and state colleges. But I guess I am an elite, whereas Mr. Beck, who makes tens of millions of dollars a year, and lives on an estate in a controlled and toney Connecticut is an average guy.
