      Aha! And we thought BP was drilling for oil! In reality, they were working for Obama... planting tripod death machines!

      How is it possible for this guy to get crazier every single day? It's impossible, no one can keep ratcheting up the crazy every day, there has to be a breaking point somewhere. Yet somehow, this clown comes on every day and says something crazier than the last day. He has the weirdest obsessions with dead politicians, he comes up with the most asinine conspiracy theories, he is an uneducated tool and yet feels he has even the slightest grasp of history and has absolutely no manners, no empathy, no sanity and no soul. If you aren't on the fringiest of conservative politics, then you're a marxist, socialist, fascist, maoist, communist, <insert other extreme adjective>, blah blah blah.

      I've gotta keep using this quote from The Princess Bride because it is so apt with Beck and all his labeling: "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

        I think Becky's secret is that he just keeps veering off on a tangent. When he runs down a blind alley and hits the inevitable brick wall, he just bounces off and starts over in another direction, sort of like a Roomba.

      What the hell is this man talking about?

      Fox is playing with fire by allowing this dishonest, uneducated, greedy LUNATIC to spew his ridiculous nonsense. He is inciting VIOLENCE. There have to be more than a few of his faithful "idiots" [Beck's loving pet name for those fools who BELIEVE his crap] are as mentally unstable as Beck. They are BELIEVING this crap.

      Criminey! What are these idiots thinking? Beck is sitting there talking about how dangerous the Weather Underground was. Well, what he's not mentioning is that the WU had limited access for recruitment for idiots to join their "cause." It was strictly word of mouth on college campuses. Beck, on the other hand, has a national radio program, a television program and corporate sponsors like Freedom Works, to recruit CRAZIES to join his unpatriotic and treasonous cause. Beck is exponentially worse than Bill Ayers and the despicable Weather Underground and much more dangerous to the stability of this country.

      ENOUGH.

        What is it going to take?

        Legal definition of sedition:

        SEDITION
        Conduct which is directed against a government and which tends toward insurrection but does not amount to treason. Treasonous conduct consists of levying war against the United States or of adhering to its enemies, giving them aid and comfort.

        The raising commotions or disturbances in the state; it is a revolt against legitimate authority.

        The distinction between sedition and treason consists in this, that though its ultimate object is a violation of the public peace, or at least such a course of measures as evidently engenders it, yet it does not aim at direct and open violence against the laws, or the subversion of the Constitution. The. obnoxious and obsolete act of July 14, 1798, was called the sedition law, because its professed object was to prevent disturbances.In the Scotch law, sedition is either verbal or real. Verbal is inferred from the uttering of words tending to create discord between the king and his people; real sedition is generally committed by convocating together any considerable number of people, without lawful authority, under the pretence of redressing some public grievance, to the disturbing of the public peace.

        He was claiming that the Weather Underground . . . a VERY small group of radical, and none-too-smart college kids had that as their goal. He's full of it. First, there were never more than a handful of active members of this group. Second, their "goal" was to install a revolutionary government.

        Beck, as usual, is full of sh*t.

        For that matter, he never had a problem with the administration that was eavesdropping on everyone and torturing people from 2001 to 2009. Perhaps as a consequence he has to concoct a horrible fantasy to come up with a scenario under which Obama's presidency is worse that Bush's.

        But I also agree with Don Quixote's speculation below.

      Number killed in undeclared wars + number lacking health insurance + number of Americans lacking proper nutrition + number forced to labor in unsafe working conditions + numbers killed by lack of government oversight of food, toys, medicines, etc. + (well you can fit in many more) = conservative's death toll.

      I'm beginning to think Beck's obsession with mass genocides, Nazis, Hitler, concentration camps, etc. are really just a projection of his own inner wishes for what he would do to evil progressives if he were in charge. I mean, what other explanation is there?

      For his argument to work here, Obama would have be Bill Ayers, or vice versa, and his administration and a significant portion of the top military brass would have to have been members of the Weather Underground in the 70s, or they would have to hold the very same beliefs that group did 4 decades ago today in 2010.

        I don't know. It may be a bit more cynical than that. We all know FOX is a wing of the GOP so he and Hannity get paid to throw as much crap against the wall to see what sticks. It motivates some who believe this to the polls and if the left is not similarly motivated they win. Notice not one person repudiates this crap.

      I'm growing more and more convinced that doughboy is gearing himself and his followers up for the Big Checkout. The signs are all there, really. He's sounding increasingly manic and unhinged, he is radically amping up the messianic imagery and rhetoric that he so enjoys draping himself with, his ratings at Faux News are plummeting faster the price of BP stock, and his impending 'Restoring Honor' rally is certain beyond measure to be an utterly humiliating flop.

      Can anyone say Jim Jones and David Koresh?

      Seems pretty obvious that these people need to be eliminated, hey, Glenn?

      This is the sort of stuff that makes him particularly pernicious, particularly evil. Look at the doughboy, look in his eyes, and see the evil.

      This talk of "elimination" is sick beyond words.
