*looks at name*
MY GOD I'M IN ON IT.
Just another thing I recall about ol' Charles Manson. He didn't actually commit the murders that carry his name. His follows did. Hmmmmmm. . .
MidnightWriter,
Are you suggesting that Beck's people, those that follow and believe what he sez on the radio and on the tube might act in a volatile manor? While, Beck's hands remain clean!Tell me it isn't true!
Besides, I think I'm wrong about Beck's intentions here. I just reviewed a clip of his interview with Palin and saw that puppy love look in his eyes when he read his diary entry to her. I wonder if that same glazed look came over his features when he said he wanted to send a copy of Revolution to the President. On a mix tape, Glenn? Along with some other songs that express your true feelings? Has your bitterness towards Obama been a facade masking your true, tender feelings all this time? Do tell. Do tell.
Do you feel blame? Are you mad? Do you feel like wolf kabob Roth vantage? Gefrannis booj pooch boo jujube bear-ramage? Jigiji geeji geeja geeble google. Do you begep flagaggle vaggle veditch-waggle bagga?

Then we'll know for sure!
He's going down the same path that Charlie Manson took. Hearing things that aren't there in songs by the Beatles.
Just wait until their songs are available on iTunes.
Damn! I think I just gave away our plan.
Beck, you do know that "Revolution" is off of the White Album?
That same White Album Cult leader Charles Manson persuaded members of his "family" that the album was an apocalyptic message predicting a prolonged race war and justifying the murder of wealthy people. Manson's favorite song was "Helter Skelter"
Beck, I would think that "Happiness Is a Warm Gun" would be your choose or maybe even "Back in the U.S.S.R." !
The White Album has so many CLUES OF THE FUTURE IN IT!
There's even more clues on the White Album.
Try playing it BACKWARDS if you want to decipher all the clues.
... made me laugh.
you know-- pot=gold=..investment against the falling dollar!
* Apologies to The Beatles

Uhh...because they rhyme?
BTW, I am now convinced that Glenn Beck did acid...a LOT of acid.
It does if you fall off the roof while tripping.
You don't suppose that happened to Beck, do you?
Some people say,,,,,,,,
The Beatles, like the Bible, have enough variety and vagueness for any nutjob to find support for almost any point.
If last year's financial crisis doesn't convince you there IS something inherently wrong with laissez-faire, you are uneducatable.
Here's the problem in a nutshell: PEOPLE WILL TEEF IF YOU LET THEM!
According to Beck, the beginning of this song is representative of the history of progressives but then the second half doesn't really fall in line with the view of radical change... He seems to take it as more of a warning to progressives...
You say you'll change the constitution
Well, you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me it's the institution
Well, you know
You better free you mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
And you have no idea why there are so many posts that mention Manson? Do some homework and stop being such a dunce.
Beck is not evil. He is, however, one of the most ignorant and foolish people ever to be taken seriously in this country. You say 'isms' as though it means anything at all. You cannot seem to distinguish between Marxist political thought and Marxist philosophy, let alone show the difference between communism, socialism, and fascism, seahawks123.
Do you really believe that Beck made a point, here? That the words of a Beatles song has some overarching meaning that illustrates 100 years of 'progressive' thought in this country? Or, should I call it progressivism, so you can pretend to understand what I am talking about?
You see, I still haven't figured out if Beck is truely crazy, or if he is like Rush and is crazy smart.
I look at Rush and see the GOP's answer to Howard Stern. He spews stuff on a daily basis and doesn't believe any of it. He does manipulate the message to support his causes, getting rich and being part of the conservative establishment.
Beck seems to come over as more truely crazy but; he does make $20 million dollars a year so maybe he is crazy smart.
BTW I don't believe either Rush or Beck have any ethical or moral standards, since they have to understand that there are people out there who actually believe them. (sigh)
A song for you to drive home your point!
" I'm a little Tea Pot " to illustrate progressives' plan to slowly institute Marxism--- the song has two of your favorite words in it. Tea, as in tea party, as in Brown election , as in dad pimpimg his daughters, as in Browns down fall moment! The other word pot, as in kettle, as in Ma and Pa Kettle, as in farmers, as in George Washington, as in Founding Father, as in your and Sara's Hero! WOW, BECK this is fun, is this how you connect the dots?
" I'm a little Tea Pot "
LMAF!!!
1. I dug out my old VCR unit from the garage and recorded Glenn's show.
2. I played the recorded show backwards and Glenn sounded just like Mr. Rodgers reading from Das Capital.
Is Glenn just a clever agent sending out coded messages to progressives?
Does Glenn want to really bring back Marxism by talking about all the time? (A lot of young people don't even know what Marxism is and if you keep telling them it is bad they might, just to be contrary, read some classic Socialism/Marxism writings and like what they read.)
The Public Wants To Know...
You have a point there! I would have never found about MMFA if it was not for Beck and other Fox heads!
Glenn may be crazy but; he can be crazy funny too.
The problem is, when he is the funniest, is when he is really being serious.

This seems to be the delusion Beck has. I really believe he envisions and craves a scenario where he will be able to assume a role of leader. I'm telling you, this guy is so similiar to Adoph Hitler in terms of their paranoid personalities. You don't incessantly speak about the coming destruction of America while holding yourself up as the lone voice in the wilderness unless you wan't your followers to see you as such. He is using fear to portray progressives much the same as Hitler did with the jews. The similiarities are striking. This man is a ticking time bomb. There are so many distinct and scary personality traits that this man shares with Adolph Hitler its uncanny. There is no doubt in my mind that this man, Glen Beck, has the potential to be a monster. A monster of epic proportions. Take a look at the picture on the cover of his new book. Have you ever seen a nazi uniform match a person better? It's almost as if the two were made for each other.
... I'm sorry, that was bad.
No wonder he's so obsessed with "elitists." When you're a moron, everyone else IS elite.
With hosts that don't make sense and newsmen that lie.
Suddenly someone is there on the camera,
The man with the chalk-board strained eyes!

LOL
"Do you want to know a secret?" - "All you need is love"! You should "Slow Down", and "Let it Be", "Because" this "Revolution" was "Yesterday"; there's no need to "Get Back" to "Misery" like this.
"All I've got to do" is "Come Together" with "A little help from my friends" and "Wait". "You won't see me" argue with this "Bad Boy". "Ask me why". Well, "I'm looking through you" and all I see is a "Nowhere Man".
"Baby, you're a rich man" so "Don't bother me" with your "Long and Winding Road" "Across the Universe".
Glen, your foolishness is "Here, There and Everywhere"; "I've got a feeling" you never "Think for yourself" since "What you're doing" is "For no one". As for me, "I'll follow the Sun".
Anyway, that's "the End". "Tell me what you see."
"From me to you"
i just love how you knitted this together!
... I'm confused. Is revolution a good thing, or a bad thing, well Mr. Beck?
http://www.marxsite.com/Lennon%20interview.htm
Lennon: "There were two versions of [Revolution] but the underground left only picked up on the one that said 'count me out'. The original version which ends up on the LP said 'count me in' too; I put in both because I wasn't sure. There was a third version that was just abstract, musique concrete, kind of loops and that, people screaming. I thought I was painting in sound a picture of revolution - but I made a mistake, you know. The mistake was that it was anti-revolution.
On the version released as a single I said 'when you talk about destruction you can count me out'. I didn't want to get killed. I didn't really know that much about the Maoists, but I just knew that they seemed to be so few and yet they painted themselves green and stood in front of the police waiting to get picked off. I just thought it was unsubtle, you know. I thought the original Communist revolutionaries coordinated themselves a bit better and didn't go around shouting about it. That was how I felt - I was really asking a question...
At one time I was so much involved in the religious bullsh*t that I used to go around calling myself a Christian Communist, but as Janov says, religion is legalised madness...
After the revolution you have the problem of keeping things going, of sorting out all the different views. It's quite natural that revolutionaries should have different solutions, that they should split into different groups and then reform, that's the dialectic, isn't it - but at the same time they need to be united against the enemy, to solidify a new order. I don't know what the answer is; obviously Mao is aware of this problem and keeps the ball moving...
How do you keep everything going and keep up revolutionary fervour after you've achieved what you set out to achieve? Of course Mao has kept them up to it in China, but what happens after Mao goes? Also he uses a personality cult. Perhaps that's necessary; like I said, everybody seems to need a father figure.
