Here's Glenn Beck stoking fears about FEMA Camps:

Now check out the Beckbot's myspace page. She is terrified. To her, FEMA camps are concentration and extermination camps. That's why she was trespassing upon and casing the military base. She thinks the people living on Long Island are in extreme danger of being rounded up and sent to a death camp.

Defending Glenn Beck, Fox News Asserts Color Of Change Co-Founder Van Jones Has ‘Ties To A Terrorist’

Aug 25th, 2009

Quote:

After incendiary Fox News host Glenn Beck called President Obama “a racist” who “has a deep-seated hatred for white people,” the African-American advocacy group Color of Change launched an advertising boycott of his show. Since the campaign began, 36 companies " including AT&T, Johnson & Johnson, UPS, and Verizon Wireless " “have now committed not to support Beck’s show.”

Last night on his Fox program, Beck attacked Color of Change co-founder Van Jones, who is currently a White House adviser on the environment. Beck aired an entire segment wondering, “Who is Obama’s green jobs czar, Van Jones?” In the piece, Beck called Jones a “self-proclaimed communist” and a “full-fledged radical,” citing Jones’ involvement in a group called Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement (STORM), which Beck says “held study groups in the Marxist and Lenin teachings.”

Fox & Friends continued the attack on Jones this morning. Teasing an upcoming segment with Beck, host Gretchen Carlson said Jones has “ties to a terrorist” (a claim that was never revisited). Later, a seemingly ultra-paranoid Beck claimed Jones is part of a secret communist cabal inside the Obama White House to transform the American government:

BECK: [Jones is] basically a community organizer inside the framework of our republic. That’s what’s happening. When Barack Obama said, “I am going to promise you fundamental transformation of our nation,” this is what’s happening. We are bringing community organizations and community organizers and we’re embedding them inside of the system to build a new framework. This guy in particular, and he’s not the only one, and you’ll see more tonight, this guy in particular is an avowed communist, communist!

@panzade,

I have read through this thread and the various pasted clips of his talks -- overall more exposure to Beck than I have yet experienced. He is certainly a manipulative exploiter of the news and public reactions -- some interesting insights, but all exaggerated beyond reason -- not a source I would frequent.

I was also amused by the rather revealing Freudian slip in this remark by panzade.

I have a couple who are very good friends and she begged me to read the book...some book he wrote. He's (Beck)pretty clever and knows how to appeal to the ignorant masses.

It's got to be tough trying to get through each day while worrying about what the ignorant masses will do next.

Apparently she made her page private, but it is archived. I was able to access the archived page via the Daily Kos site here.

That's the wrong question. The right question is: Where is John Cleese when you need him?

He's going to bury Rush Limbaugh under the White House and then stick a pin in him in hopes of blowing it up.

You're talking about my "friend." She is an avid follower of Glenn Beck, spews his talking points, and would be very offended to know that you consider her an idiot. She was gleeful when she emailed me to tell me that she was joining an out-of-town protest on Saturday morning and that I wouldn't approve of her new t-shirt. (I envisioned a t-shirt sporting Glenn Beck's face and the phrase, "I'm proud to be a rightwing terrorist.")

Why are so many human beings incapable of exercising logic and reason and so willing to become the malleable followers of insane talking heads? Given a choice, I believe my friend would choose her willfully blind idolatry of Glenn Beck over our friendship.

Here is Beck's "CALL TO ACTION" posted on August 28, 2009, on his blog:

Perhaps this is his plan to save our American republic?

Glenn Beck's popularity is sad. The reason for his popularity is explained by what Jon Stewart said of him: "the man who speaks the mind of people who have no mind."

Crap. I wasted valuable time viewing Beck's featured video of the day, but I did not learn anything about his announced plan to save the republic.

@Debra Law,

I skipped ahead...

I got-- "Don't be afraid" and "Yell at people who wear belts".

He is still obsessed about Communists. Is it just me, or does everyone they call "Communist" seem to be black.

I got this: "Tonight, I am going to lay out a plan. Step 1: Fear not and take them on. . . . In the coming weeks on this program I'm going to ask you to continue to watch."

Okay, I see. The Glenn Beck plan to save the republic is for Americans to watch his show.

"Them" are evil. The watchers of the Glenn Beck Show MUST continue to watch his show so he, the messiah of the watchers, can teach the watchers how to fearlessly take "them" on. That's the plan.

Sadly, Debra, I cannot trust your summary. You are, after all, evil.
