      And Mr. Beck mirrors every mistake made by someone who purports to be a journalist.

      The only mistake we are making is not locking him up in an asylum.

      Well, we certainly have got right-wing loons spouting insanities and inanities like the Weimar Republic did, Glenn. I do see that clear parallel.

      Yes Beck, and you are salivating for the next holocaust. Give us the plans for how the Tea Party should round up the illegal aliens, the socialists, the marxists, the communists, the federal government employees, the bail-out recipients, those collecting unemployment benefits, the muslims, arab-looking non-muslims, community organizers, G8 protesters and brainwashed students. Beck, tell us your plan for the final solution.

      Gee Elmer Gentry, let's see how we are mirroring the Weimar Republic. Are we forced, under the terms of a treaty to all but stifle military-industrial production? No. Are we suffering from a severe reduction of imports? No. Are we paying outrageous sums of money for any sort of reparations? No. Are we having serious uprisings by both left and right political factions? No. Have any of our cities been taken over and declared Soviet Republics? No. Have we had to use the military to oust such folks? No. Have we suffered from years of famine and war in our backyard. No. Have we suffered economic from a general strike? No. Has the president made any emergency decrees to increase his powers and bypass the Constitution? No. Is the right-wing in this country opposed to democracy? Hmmmmmm. Might have to concede that one. And if there is an almost 20% shift in the political makeup of our congress, then I'll get back to you. Crazy bassterd.

      You know, he may be right...apparently the Weimar Republic let a bunch of Right Wing Reactionary liars dominate the public discourse...

      Glenn can you say "I am a delusional crazy idiot who fears the truth?" Because that is what you are.
