Beck promotes special that shows “the dirty little secret” that progressives caused “some of the most horrifying outcomes in history”

Beck promises that upcoming “documentary” on the “unseen history of Marxism, progressivism and communism” will show what “progressives don't want you to know.” On his Fox News show, Beck has promoted his January 22 special, “Revolutionary Holocaust,” stating on January 21: “It is really, really disturbing and shocking stuff on a multiple of levels. Most of America is going to be stunned for what they see tomorrow night, because they're going to see history that they have never even heard of. History that -- I mean, honest to goodness, you will see film footage of things that you didn't even think existed. Why? Well, you haven't seen it because progressives don't want you to know about it.” Beck continued:

BECK: It is history that is not being taught in classrooms in America. But tomorrow night, you're going to see it -- the true, unseen history of Marxism, progressivism, and communism. You gonna see what Michael Moore's beloved Cuba really is, at least the way only the people who are lucky enough to live through Castro's regime remember. You're going to see Che. I love this guy. He's not really the happy-go-lucky kid who rode around on his motorcycle like Hollywood tells us he is. His real exploits will make even the more granola hippie lose their Che shirt. We also have footage from the Soviet Union that has been buried in the vaults of the KGB.

[...]

Well, you see, the dirty little secret that communists, Marxists, and progressives don't want you to know is their system has never ever worked.

And not only has it never worked, it has led to some of the most horrifying outcomes in history. You think that guy -- you think that guy was the only one that did it? And you think this guy is from the right? Oh, yeah, really?

Make sure you tune in tomorrow. People wouldn't support Mao and they wouldn't be wearing a Mao hat if they knew they were endorsing somebody who killed tens of millions of people. That's Anita Dunn -- she said, you know, “One of the great philosophers that I think of most is Mao.”

She knows who he is, but most Americans don't, because progressives tend to breeze past that little speed bump in history. I told you back in December that this program is going to change. Tomorrow is the first real step in that direction.

You see, progressives knew 100 years ago you can't win a battle against our Founding Fathers. Progressives had to change the course of history by changing history itself. If you can convince people that killers are cool, and get them to wear a t-shirt, you'll win their hearts and minds.

“Progressive hunter” Beck's violence-laden campaign suggesting that progressives pose a danger to Obama and “you”

Beck has long history of violent rhetoric

Beck compares Fox News to Jews during the Holocaust, other news organizations to silent bystanders. On his October 13, 2009, radio show, Beck said: “When they're done with Fox, and you decide to speak out on something. The old, 'first they came for the Jews, and I wasn't Jewish.' When you have a question, and you believe that something should be asked, they're a -- totally fine with you right now; they have no problem with you. When they're done with Fox and talk radio, do you really think they're going to leave you alone if you want to ask a tough question? Do you really think that a man who has never had to stand against tough questions and has as much power as he does -- do you really believe after he takes out the number one news network, do you really think that this man is then not going to turn on you? That you and your little organization is going to cause him any hesitation at all not to take you out?”

Beck: “Just pray for protection, please.” On his radio show, Beck told his listeners he is “fighting for you and ... your children” and asked them to “pray” for “safety” and “protection.” [Premiere Radio Networks' The Glenn Beck Program, 9/8/2009]

I fear a Reichstag moment, a -- God forbid -- another 9-11, something that will turn this machine on, and power will be seized and voices will be silenced. God help us all.''

Beck: ”[Y]ou will have to shoot me in the forehead before you take away my gun" and “before I acquiesce and be silent.” Beck warned “ACORN, GE, Obama, SEIU” were “awakening a sleeping giant, and I have nothing to do with it,” adding:

BECK: America is waking up. You know the American Revolution took place with 12 percent of the population? Twelve. Are you telling me there is not 30 percent of this population that you will have to shoot me in the forehead before I let somebody into my house to tell me how to raise my children; you will have to shoot me in the forehead before you take away my gun; you will have to shoot me in the forehead before I acquiesce and be silent. [The Glenn Beck Program, 7/31/2009]

Beck: “This game is for keeps”; "[Y]ou can shoot me in the head ... but there will be 10 others that line up." Asking his audience to “pray for protection,” Beck claimed that “the most powerful people on the planet on the left” were “not going to go away easy” because "[t]his game is for keeps. This is who controls the United States of America and its destiny." He went on to state, “Just pray for protection, please.” Beck subsequently stated:

BECK: You can try to put the lid on this group of people, but you will never silence us. You will never -- you can shoot me in the head, you can shoot the next guy in the head, but there will be 10 others that line up. And it may not happen today, it may not happen next week, but freedom will be restored in this land. Period. And no matter what you want to call it, it is a totalitarian state that you're headed towards. [The Glenn Beck Program, 9/8/2009]

We didn't vote to lose the republic.” [Fox News' Glenn Beck, 4/9/2009]

Beck: “There is a coup going on. There is a stealing of America”: “God help us in an emergency.” Beck stated that “there is a revolution, and they think they can get away with it quietly.” Beck further claimed, “At this point, gang, I'm not sure, they may be able to because they are so far ahead of us. They know what they're dealing against; most of America does not yet. Most of America doesn't have a clue as to what's going on. There is a coup going on. There is a stealing of America, and the way it is done, it has been done through the -- the guise of an election, but they lied to us the entire time.” He also said, “And they're gonna say, 'we did it democratically,' and they are going to grab power every way they can. And God help us in an emergency.” [The Glenn Beck Program, 7/31/2009]
