7. Sometimes I swear I preferred the shrubby years.
When the right-wingers thought they had control they kept it all bottled up... we got to see holier than thou & self-righteousness, but we were never confronted with the sort of obnoxiously STUPID people who are all over the t.v., on our streets and in our town meetings today. Their desperation is downright ugly.

8. What is the purpose of this supposed to be?
I understand the need to understand what Nazi's did and their reasoning behind it but what in the world does it have to do with current events? This comes off as something Cenk would say, "I'm not saying anything, I'm just saying."

9. The real skinny on Beck
Glen Beck the Savvy Fraud Conservative God!!!
Posted by samplegirl in General Discussion
Tue Apr 28th 2009, 01:24 PM
Fox News host Glenn Beck has done all the necessary spadework to position himself at the center of a brewing and increasingly paranoid right-wing insurgency.

From challenging Democratic Congressman Keith Ellison to prove he isn't working with Al-Qaida, to taking tearful stands against Barack Obama's Democratic Reich, the self-described "rodeo clown" is pushing his televised tirades and skits closer to the angrier, more unhinged fare of his daily talk radio show, now ranked third nationally, where he has been honing his confessional Molotov-throwing shtick for a decade.

Beck is deft at making himself an elusive and slippery target. As media watchdogs and satirists step up their attacks on Beck's blubbering baboonery, the host has countered with well-practiced public relations aikido. He has embraced comparisons between himself and Network's Howard Beale, who rode an on-air crack-up to record ratings. On his shows and in print, he has claimed at turns to be "crazy," "borderline schizophrenic," and "just a clown."

But is he really? After all of the Comedy Central satires, the studious cataloging of falsehoods and outrages, and the public back-and-forth about his mental state, the big questions about Beck -- Who the hell is this guy? And is he for real? -- remain largely unanswered and even unasked in any serious way.

Fortunately, Beck has actually gone far toward answering these questions himself. Between his thousands of hours of TV and radio recordings, his semiannual stage tours, and a surprisingly frank memoir, he has provided enough information to piece together the puzzle of the "real" Glenn Beck.

The first casualty of any study of Beck is the idea that he is cracking up, a la Beale. Mental illness runs in Beck's family -- his mother and brother suffered from depression and committed suicide, and he considered suicide in the mid-'90s -- but Beck is not crazy. His frequent choke-ups are no more the early signs of a looming crack-up than his best-selling-author status portends a National Book Award.

Beck has been fake crying for years. It started on his radio show in Tampa, Fla., where he first turned the confessional mode of the support-circle into fodder for self-denigrating humor and ratings gold. After 10 years, the fake crying is best seen as a corporate brand handle. It differentiates him from tough-guy competitors in a conservative media universe dominated by manly men and manlier women. Even Beck himself is becoming increasingly open about this. The plug for his upcoming "Common Sense" comedy tour describes him as "America's favorite hysterical, fear-mongering, TV and radio crybaby."

Those who take a single drop of Beck's tears seriously need simply watch recordings of his stage shows. As he paces the stage, Beck switches the tear-ducts on and off like a switch, sometimes as many as six times in a single hour. He even chokes himself up for slick, produced segments like the trailer for the stage show based on his best-selling (and ghostwritten) Christmas novel, The Christmas Sweater.

Then there is the memorable Freudian slip Beck dropped on Fox in early February, while recounting the story of a missing girl. "Two years ago, I made the father a promise," Beck says, choking up, "that I would not let this story dry -- er, die …"

Any doubts that Beck is just acting are more deeply buried by examining his turn guest hosting Larry King Live last summer. Watch that clip, and you will see a master tailor of on-air persona at work. He is in full control and almost unrecognizable.

To understand Beck, you just need to fade out the apocalyptic hysterics and pull back the Patton-size flag. Do that, and staring back at you are three words: Mercury Radio Arts. Therein lies everything you need to know about Fox's new megastar.

Mercury Radio Arts is Beck's production company. It is his pride, his joy, and his multiteat cash cow. The company, whose tag line is "The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment," produces or co-produces his radio and television shows, his live events and his many publishing and digital media projects, all of which promote and expand the Beck brand.

Its full-time staff of 20 is not based in the small-town "Real America" Beck claims to hold so dear, but in the cynical media capital of the world, Manhattan.

23. He's definitely not demented.
He does, however, draw great satisfaction and greater profit from being just plain evil.

Hey Beck didn't Hitler vilify his opponents and use propaganda too- kind of like you.

15. He really loves throwing the chum in the water
First he shows a 30 second clip of Hitler while talking over it about eugenics. Then offers the disclaimer that he's not saying eugenics are coming. Now why do I feel that it is? And the crying is priceless..he really should be nominated for best actor in a comedy.

He has two teenage daughters from his FIRST marriage.


She's one of 'em.

28. The bullshit is piled so deep in this video...
I'll just have to deconstruct it line by line:
1- The Nazi "eugenic idea" did not "evolve" into the Holocaust. It was all part of the same master plan to purify the Aryan race.
2- The people who were forcibly sterilized by the Nazis were primarily the children of German women and black French colonial troops who were occupying the border areas between the wars. This was entirely a racial thing. People considered "unfit" were "euthanized" under the Nazi T4 program. They were mostly inmates at insane asylums, but also babies born during the Nazi era with physical deformities or Downs Syndrome, CP or other severe mental defects were spirited away by the doctors who delivered them and killed in secret. (The cover story given to the parents was that there were complications and the child required special attention, then later they would tell the parents that they had been unable to save the child)
3- "Hatred in America"? "Honest conversation"? So we're looking to one of the biggest purveyors of the aforementioned hatred for honesty? 42 seconds into the clip and I've already got you fudging your facts twice. Let's see where it goes from here:
4- :48- "-no one is saying eugenics are coming." (stay tuned)
5- "The builder of the Master Race in Germany was only part of the problem made possible after they began to devalue life." Bullshit. They began to devalue life after the Nazis came to power and began their 'racial hygiene' programs.
6- "They tried to figure out how much is a life worth..." (still not saying eugenics is coming...)
7- 2:00- The Nazi poster: The CP guy isn't worth 60,000 ReichsMarks... (wait for it...)


Ooooh and the video ends. He was only a moment away from comparing the Nazi racial hygiene practices to Obama's death panels, which would determine that a person's life is not worth saving because it would cost too much money :(

And we all know that we can rely on the good old free market, for-profit insurance companies to do whatever is in their power to pay our medical bills...

31. Beck's 9-12 website has disabled its comments function
Glenn Beck's 9-12 website has disabled its comments function, and comments dating after July 6 have been deleted. The lunacy factor must have finally embarassed even Beck -- it had been a real horror show. From the 9-12 website:

http://www.the912project.com/2009/08/06/86-the-9-12-project-focuses-on-9-12/


8/12 WEDNESDAY UPDATE – The 9-12 Project Focuses On 9-12!
Posted by Editor on August 6, 2009 · Leave a Comment

From your 912 Editor – All commenting software on the site has been disabled for the time being.

Please do not read into this any bizarre conspiracy theories. Nothing could be further from the truth. People CAN still communicate with us and other 912-ers, just in a different manner. And in the end, the result will be more efficient communication in a troll-free environment, without some of the pointless rantings to wade through.

_______________________________________________

Dear 9-12ers,

The time has come for us to focus on September 12th.

Read the Mission Statement. Get off the keyboards and on your feet.

That does not mean we have stopped listening or that we do not want to hear from you. On the contrary – WE NEED TO HEAR ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE ACTUALLY DOING. We encourage you to send us emails about your local activities.

Send those emails here

Obviously we will share any important information on the site as soon as possible.

And to those of you who are showing up and talking to people about your beliefs, remember that we are looking for video links to youtube postings from all of these

32. Beck needs to look into the Bush family's history WRT eugenics.
Prescott Bush had some pretty unsavory views on eugenics.

33. Republican? not
Glen Beck has added more incivility to discourse than just about anybody, wanting to kill Speaker Pelossi, Michael Moore, both with his own two hands, he's said it recently about both. I wonder how much Glen's insurence paid for his daughter and how much the state paid for his daughters care including disability access? He socialist when its convenient and serves his purpose. I've heard Republicans screaming about the cost of caring for crack babies and AIDs babies because they take heath resources from"everybody else", doesn't that make them Nazis, too?

Glen is no Republican, he's a wealthy conservative who exploits certain GOP points, some into incomprehensibility and ignores all the rest.

How much were human LIVES worth in Iraq Glenn? What about the LIVES of those without HEALTH CARE?! Why aren't YOU willing to PAY more $ in taxes to help people LIVE Mr. Beck?!

God it's difficult to spend 2.5 minutes watching that fool.
