I just heard this audio and I am just shocked.. Glenn Beck seriously is accusing the President of the United States to be the "Manchurian Candidate". I guess during the election I got used to outrageous things from all kinds of people, but the election is over.. At least I thought it was. Again Glenn Beck uses his radio/tv status to scare feeble minds. And again I ask is that a wise thing to do with all the unstable people listening to him?

In case you don't know what the "Manchurian Candidate" is, I will try to fill you in. It is a movie made in 1962 and remade a couple of years ago where a POW is brainwashed by his captors. In the 1962 version, I think it was the North Koreans with help from the Chinese. Anyways, this POW who was brainwashed eventually ran for President and won and was to be controlled by a foreign country. Well, that is the jist of the movie.
Sounds almost ironic given the other major candidate for President.
Beck also rants about President Obama's Blackberry, and says it is a security risk?? He also says who is President Obama "REALLY talking to?" and by reading the teleprompter "who is REALLY pulling his strings?"..
Listen to the short audio and see what you think..

UPDATE From TLS66: Actually in the original "Manchurian Candidate" (I never saw the remake), the POW, Raymond Shaw, was the stepson of a Senator, John Iselin, who was based on Joe McCarthy. Iselin accepts his party's VP nomination. The brainwashed Shaw is to kill the party's more moderate Presidential candidate, thus allowing Iselin to run and win by waving the bloody shirt. That doesn't happen, though, as at the last moment shaw turns the gun on Iselin and his wife (Shaw's mother).
