Beck preaches the "good news" that a "blaze is coming" that will "burn everything down"

From the May 21 edition of Premiere Radio Networks' The Glenn Beck Program:

It's those who question him who have the problem, because he is sure he's thought this thing through. He will not rest until he brings down the most powerful of his enemies, or crashes and burns in the attempt.
The worst of it will probably come to his devotees; there are similarities between he, Jim Jones, D Koresh, Manson and others. He is probably not as physically bold as they, and his field is broadcasting. But he is as capable as they were of dropping his followers like a stone when his own safety becomes more important, or, he may demand that his followers share his fate.
You hate life. We don't.
I was one of the three people who gave you a thumbs down. Beck is a crackpot,no doubt, but hoping that he commits suicide is over the top.
Glenda seems to wish ill will on his political enemies, perhaps he should tone HIS rhetoric down. I am one post on a great but small site, he broadcasts his hate to millions. When people take others with them in a cowardly fashion because they hate life and others in it I believe his beloved Fox calls them homicide bombers. I can see Beck becoming one of those easily. He seems ready to crack. He displays all the signs of a complete, paranoid break down.
He does seem to wish ill on his political enemies, and he does broadcast hate and fear to millions. Beck reminds me of Lenny Bruce in his last days. Bruce was no longer outrageous, or entertaining. He was, like Beck, an angry, bitter, hate fueled person.
I will be very surprized if Beck's career, or life ends well.
"D'ja ever clap when a waitress falls and drops a tray of glasses?
And ain't it fun to watch figure skaters falling on their @$$es?
And don'tcha feel all warm and cozy,
Watching people out in the rain!
That's schadenfreude!
People taking pleasure in your pain!"
Thanks for helping prove me right, Glenn.
Beck moaning about Spitzer being hired by CNN is really rich since Fox's regular contributors include G. Gordon Liddy, Oliver North, Karl Rove, Chuck Colson, Mark Fuhrman . . . and they have Bill O'Reilly and Glenn Beck on their payroll.
This man is a piece of crap. He's quoting scripture, but he has absolutely NO CLUE what the hell he's talking about.
That's his art; repackaging. Whether he's reimagining the Founding Fathers to support his imbecilic theories, or painting his supposed enemies as some villain from his notion of history, he has no new ideas, and no sound basis. So he repackages scripture to lend him support. Doesn't care in the slightest what it might mean.
And that's sick in a number of ways...
Why is Spitzer corrupt?
Bildo used his power as a boss to sexually harrass an employee, he still works at faux . .
Bildo blamed his victim, as I recall . .
WTF is Beck talking about???
"The sky is falling, the sky is falling!" Said Henny Penny, Ducky Lucky, Doosy Loosy, Turkey Lurkey and Glenny Ninny. And we're going to tell the King.
"I know the way to the King," said FOXy Loxy. So Henny Penny, Ducky Lucky, Doosy Loosy, Turkey Lurkey and Glenny Ninny followed FOXy Loxy all the way into his deep dark cave(ernous studio), where the fox gobbled them up.
ok. well here we go......
ummmm Nero launched a massive relief effort that was funded in large part by his personal wealth........he allowed displaced people to stay in his own palace on the palantine hill.....he rebuilt most of the destroyed districts, including the sabura district (the caesarian ancestral area where caesar himself was born) except for the 5 or 6 districts that he used to build his domus aurea (and yeah that was a complete boneheaded move on his part, since it gave his enemies their ammunition to blame him)
president bush........hmmm he wasn't made aware of what was going on for days and was only made aware when his staff showed him a video tape. he didn't give up his salary or any of his wealth to help people. didn't invite displaced persons to stay in the white house, when they were being hearded into the superdome. and his rebuilding of the city is laughable.
so who was the worse of the two.............yeah thats bush.
Quite.
Deuteronomy, which Beck wants us all to go and read, has some pretty wild stuff in it:
"If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no child, the wife of the dead shall not be married abroad unto one not of his kin; her husband's brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him to wife, and perform the duty of a husband's brother unto her." (25:5)
Or this:
"He that is crushed or maimed in his privy parts shall not enter into the assembly of the LORD." (23:2)
The period of the Founders during the American Revolution is in Glenn's mind a period not unlike that of Old Testament prophets in which future events are foretold.
The period known by Evangelicals as "The Last Days" is one that is diligently sought by those who believe that the destruction and devastation of a corrupt, sinfulness and socialist society will be God's just retribution. The loss of political power on the right only helps to fuel the belief in the coming fire that Glenn refers to here.
Many professed Christians strongly identify with Beck's claim to "revealed truths."
His "plan" to be revealed August 28 of this year plays into the
"need and feed" nature of Beck's relationship with many of his followers.
In this particular Beck coda where Glenn warns of the coming blaze, Beck's reference to "The Good News" is, of course, an attempt to associate his remarks with the message of the four Gospels in the New Testament.
A gospel (from Old English, gōd spell "good news")

Why, the purification of our sinful society... featuring the excitement of FLAMES! Bring some weenies and marshmallows! And hey, if it all burns down, don't worry about it... Beck's gonna be all right.
