Okay, I'm going to say something inflammatory and mean about Glenn Beck, and it's going to make some people angry - even people who agree with my general snarky liberal approach, but I'm not wrong (opinion) and I'm not going to apologize about it (fact). I hope he hears about to tell the truth. Because Glenn Beck is an early incarnation of Adolf Hitler.
Please note: This opinion is my own and while you're welcome to share it or loathe it, please do not think my opinion is condoned by anyone here at the Great Orange Satan.
I get truly sick and tired of all this right-wing bullshit about how we liberals are leading people down the road towards Hitler-ism. Everyone who is saying that is either mistaken, lying, or so full of shit that their blue eyes have turned brown. They're trying to make you afraid - and while it never works on me it does make me mad. To quote Dr. Cox, "Wrong wrong wrong wrong, wrong wrong wrong wrong. You're wrong!"
Take any Glenn Beck speech, radio or television appearance. What's the difference between what he says and what Hitler was saying as he rose to power? One word. Instead of saying "liberal" say "Jew". Instead of saying "socialist" say "Jew". Instead of saying "Democrat" say "Jew". Instead of saying "abortion rights activist" say "Jew". That's really all it takes to move from one to the other.
That and perhaps Glenn Beck's ongoing cocaine habit (which I've discussed in a prior diary here).
He's going to get people killed - he already has gotten people killed - and he should be held accountable for it. And he should be held accountable for recycling the speeches of one of the greatest political criminals and mass murderers of all time. He's a bully and is approaching the realm of becoming a madman. It won't take long for him to go over the same cliff Hitler did, trying to take as many lemmings with him as he can.
Glenn, does having me call you Hitler make you mad? Are you going to cry? Or are you going to call me "Jew?"
