Please note that Glenn Beck

[burnsei sensei]

is using Hitlerian elocution, shouting, in his interpretation of the Gettysburg Address.
Any sensitive reader would know that the words dictate less passion.
The man is irrational. Even where reason is called for, he can't do it.

1. it's like triumph of the will with occasional silly voices and weeping

hOLY shit he just did a very hitlerian hand gesture there.

whoa.

another one! the sort of "grasping" gesture.

this one:

7. Beck must watch these tapes

and copy them.

On another note - is that a slice of watermelon? Poor melon!

[miscsoc]

9. hard to believe he hasn't, he has the whole fascist gestural repertoire down pat

[cilla4progress]

12. and the hand movements.

(oops .. read that as "face" not fascist!)

Yeah, what he/she said..

[bushisanidiot]

8. He's sounding a hell of a lot like Hitler to me with his yelling

He will run for president. Mark my words.

[Cognitive_Resonance]

2. Bombastic shallow rambling. nt

[Cleita]

3. Yep. Too bad it's the generation who beat Hitler and

in my case was alive as a child during WWII are the ones that are mopping up his rhetoric.

4. I just read that

Catherina Wojtowicz will be wearing a t-shirt that reads:

BABIES, GUNS, JESUS.

WTF?

[CrispyQ]

5. It was supposed to read: Baby Jesus Loves Guns! -nt

[LatteLibertine]

6. I like to shat

when the one fellow equated Beck with Jesus Christ. I also noticed folks talking about our "Christian military warriors". What they're up to is extraordinarily obvious. Pushing God, religion, military, war and nationalism = more votes for the GoP.

10. Charles Manson's followers called him

Jesus Christ.
The way I see it, this man is just as anarchic as Manson ever dreamed of being.

[burnsei sensei]

11. He is also anti-humanistic.

A key characteristic of both Manson & Hitler.

[localroger]

13. Yeah, but Beckerhead can't pull it off like Adolph could

Really, Hitler had a profound talent for oratory, much of which was a genuine passion that carries through even if you don't speak German. Beck ain't got that. Yes, he can get the people who are predisposed to follow someone like him to go along, but people who aren't so disposed tend to spot him instantly for the three bit carnival huckster he really is.

[burnsei sensei]

14. It's also important to remember that

when you look at Triumph of the Will, you're seeing a movement that has just endured schismatic problems. The rally was held less than a month after the shooting of Ernst Rohm. There is much rhetoric that is aimed at rapprochement with the Storm Troopers.
The Storm Troopers, it's important, pre-dated the Nazis. They were formed in 1915 and had separate and strong military ambitions for their organization.
They wanted to replace the German Army-- something the Prussian military elite would never have allowed.
