Can anyone tell me why Beck is staging this freak show?

[Cyrano]

I honestly don't get it.

Someone? Anyone? WTF is this carnival side show all about???

[msongs]

1. maaybe it's about all the free publicity he will get on DU lol nt

[tridim]

Making money.

[golddigger]

2. A company called Goldline.

[cliffordu]

3. I don't get it either.

I dunno what the fuck he's talking about either.

He seems to like his own voice.

[mzteris]

4. he's insane.

Paranoid psychotic delusional megalomaniac.... and that's just for starters.

[Catshrink]

5. I think I've got it!

6. He misplaced his honor

and wants it restored. Surgery costs too much, and besides all the doctors he contacted said they only do that on women.

[HughBeaumont]

7. I reeaaaaalllly don't get what the overall message is supposed to be about.

What is the non-oppressed race "reclaiming"?

What "Honor" needs to be restored?

What "Freedoms" have been taken away?

When is the irony going to sink in all of these whiteys that they are sitting their corpulent lard-asses on PUBLIC-TAXPAYER FUNDED GROUND???

They're probably all on the grass thinking " . . . Fooxxxx . . . Buffeeeeeettt . . . Terrrrrrorrrissts . . . Obaaaaamacare . . . " There's no cohesive message, and if there is, I'm not getting it.

[Blaq Dem]

10. Lots of empty words

Watching C-Span right now. He looks like he's high on drugs on something.

[JuniperLea]

8. video cache

To draw upon to prove he is not a racist every time he's accused of being a racist.

[EmeraldCityGrl]

9. Just a few reasons.

http://dh1976.wordpress.com/2010/08/25/so-this-is-a-tea-party-hero/

Becks criminal record including a rape charge.




Here are the financial backers. The Koch Brothers

"In 2010, the New Yorker magazine profiled Charles and David Koch, two of the richest men in America who have quietly given more than a hundred million dollars to right-wing causes. The story said, "The brothers have funded opposition campaigns against so many Obama Administration policies—from health-care reform to the economic-stimulus program—that, in political circles, their ideological network is known as the Kochtopus." The Koch brothers are known to spend millions to influence government policy towards eliminating environmental protections and denying global warming.<50>"

11. Great. What an asshole

Thanks!

[spin]

12. It seems to involve religion ...

CNN is on in the background while I'm reading and posting on DU. While I'm not concentrating on watching the program, I have heard a lot of the speakers mentioning God. I recall some comments thanking the soldiers in our military and some statements about overcoming racism.

So far I fail to see any real purpose or agenda. Nothing historic.

[Steely_Dan]

13. Apparently...

...this is a religious revival.

-P

[golddigger]

14. God told him to do this.

God is now laughing his ass off that the prank worked.- The Rude Pundit

[librechik]

15. Fox gave RNC millions--Fox is just the RNC--it's all about November.

[LatteLibertine]

16. God, religion, nationalism and war/military

are traditionally big with the GoP. He's working on swaying people towards that. The end result will be; more Republicans elected, more wars, and more war profiteering.

Pushing religion/God has the added benefit of helping to keep the masses being good little mindless consumer worker bees who will get their reward in the next life.

The destiny of sheep is usually to be; shorn, flocked and slaughtered.

If they want to restore something it ought to be our government to the people. Right now about six large corporate special interests dominate everything.

[Blaq Dem]

19. It's a cult

Then they'll tell people that they'll go to hell for not buying certain services or products.

[YOY]

17. Rallying people with the memory spans of sea fleas and the inability to analyze things rationally.

Honestly...if it weren't for FOX news and hate Radio anyone who calls themselves "conservative" is getting exactly what they want these days.

[DavidDvorkin]

18. First step in a presidential campaign?

[KatyaR]

22. That's what I think.

By the time campaign time rolls around, he needs to be established as the "Messiah of America." So much better to fight that Muslim Commie Obama, don't you know?

This next election is going to be pure hell.

[burnsei sensei]

20. Because Americans are afraid of reason

and the real world.
Above all, it's to keep people from studying the Enlightenment and understanding how it's been repressed over the past two decades.

[Bluerthanblue]

21. yes, I think I can-

I have a few friends and relatives who think the "tea-party" speaks for them, but who have been uncomfortable with the fact that it IS a very racist group. They wouldn't go to a rally, and get their 'news' from Fox and only listen to snippets of Beck, or Limbaugh-

They excuse the off-the-wall statements of those men as being 'humor' or 'satire' but it has been harder and harder for them to defend against the fact that their 'heroes' are racist.

It was NO mistake that Beck planned this on the anniversary of MLKjr's March on Washington.- He's staged this very carefully, and is counting on the "diversity" and "inclusion" that he's trying to manufacture to soothe the consciences of those who support the tea party but are alienated by their racist agenda.

I think our best answer to this is to expose how shallow and false his call of "inclusion" and "equality" really is.

that's my own take on this for what it's worth.

[Mariana]

23. He's doing it to make money for himself and his employers.

I think that's really all there is to it.

[liberal N proud]

24. There is only one thing that motivates people in this country

GREED!
