Beck tells Newsmax: “I fear a Reichstag moment”

From a September 29 article on the conservative website Newsmax.com:

Media phenomenon Glenn Beck recently sat down with Newsmax for an exclusive interview offering his take on everything from President Obama, to the threat to talk radio and even a worry that our Constitutional government may disappear after a “Reichstag” event takes place.

Beck, who is also thriving on the radio, in bookstores and on the comedy circuit, sat down with Newsmax magazine's Editor in Chief Christopher Ruddy and voiced his concerns about a coming attack on talk radio.

But his real worry is that many Washington elitists really don't like our form of government and want to see it abolished.

“I fear a Reichstag moment,” he said, referring to the 1933 burning of Germany's parliament building in Berlin that the Nazis blamed on communists and Hitler used as an excuse to suspend constitutional liberties and consolidate power.

“God forbid, another 9/11. Something that will turn this machine on, and power will be seized and voices will be silenced.”

Beck implores listeners to attend 9/12 rally because they “may be the only thing that stands between freedom and slavery”

Beck: “There is a coup going on ... it has been done through the guise of an election”

Beck's paranoia continues: “What they have to do is break my legs. What they have to do is silence me”

Beck says “the Germans” during Hitler's rise “were an awful lot like we are now”
