The Communists In Glenn Beck’s Pointy Little Head

This is going to be brief because Glenn Beck really speaks for himself.

GLENN BECK, 11/12/09: I’ve been very consistent on all of this stuff. But they don’t even look at any of that. In fact, the claims that I make about socialist Marxism, et cetera, et cetera, communist, I’ve only charged that there was one communist in the White House, in the administration, one. I have not made a claim that there’s more. Only one.

GLENN BECK, 8/31/09: Why does the president have so many Marxists, socialists, radicals and self-proclaimed communists advising him?

GLENN BECK, 10/17/09: It is not a crime to admire communist murderers, but to me – pardon the pun – it is kind of a red flag. But even more chilling than all the admiration is the fact that so many in and around our nation’s capital and the White House, in the halls of power, adhere to the tenets of socialism, Marxism, and communism.

GLENN BECK, 10/26/09: I have made an unchallenged case that there were and are communist revolutionaries, socialists, Marxists, people that follow Chairman Mao, people that do not believe in the free market system, people that are radicals that have been appointed by Obama to the executive branch positions in government.

Beck frequently claims that he would immediately correct any mistake, but we really can’t hold him to that. If he actually had to correct his lies and misstatements, how would he have time to do his show?

Glenn Beck’s Cast Of Racists and White Supremacists

The case was made long ago that Fox News is a haven for racism and hate. So many of the network’s presenters have been caught expressing repulsive views that they should just stop pretending and pull their sheets out of the closet.

Let’s give Glenn Beck a taste of his own medicine. He revels in phony guilt by association scams, but he is also vulnerable to them. Sam Stein at the Huffington Post has done some investigative work that documents what rational observers already know. His column itemizes a parade of purported hate mongers that Beck has featured on his radio and TV programs. People like…

  • Michael Hill, the founder and president of the League of the South.
  • Thomas Naylor, the secessionist head of the Second Vermont Republic.
  • Tom Woods, radical, pro-Confederate author.
  • Larry Pratt, the president of Gun Owners of America.
  • Roy Beck, the founder and president of NumbersUSA.
  • Charles Goyette, Phoenix-based radio host and 9/11 skeptic.

The research done by HuffPo’s Stein is a useful addition to accumulated evidence against Beck. Stein notes that Beck is well known for casting aspersions on his enemies based on associations he can make between them and other dubious figures. By that standard, Beck is the leading candidate for Grand Wizard in America today. And remember, Beck is the guy who called President Obama a racist. Beck is also the guy who has been on an obsessive campaign against African Americans in public service. Along with organizations that represent the interests of the poor, minorities, and workers, like ACORN and SEIU, Beck has attacked mostly black staffers in the Obama administration:

Anyone who thinks that the election of a black president put an end to the problem of racial prejudice in this country is terminally naive.

US President Shames Nation By Bowing To Foreigners

It is about time that somebody takes on the embarrassing behavior of an American president supplicating himself to foreign leaders. The United States is a nation of superior values and goals. We must never show subservience to others, even as a measure of humility or respect. Leave it to the conservative media to put this critical issue front and center. We have already wasted too much time on trivialities like health care and war. It’s time to refocus on the issues that matter to America.

Thank you Fox Nation.

However, the Fox Nationalists seem to be having trouble keeping their War on Christmas alerts straight. Today they are featuring a story on this year’s War on Christmas: “Santa = Swastika? War On Christmas Begins In Massachusetts.” But on October 29, they posted this declaration: “War on Christmas Starts in KY.” I guess everyone wants credit for firing the first shot.

Update: The Fox Nationalists must not have thought their first slap at Obama for bowing (Again?) was hard enough. So the next day they took another swing (Our Most Embarrassing President?).

I assume they’ll just keep changing the headline until they find one that is sufficiently insulting. It would probably be a lot easier if they just went with “Obama Hates America” and used that for the headline of all of their biased, dishonest stories.
