Email Comments 1 On his Monday show, Glenn Beck announced to his viewers that he thinks an "event" that will fundamentally alter the world is coming soon -- and he used MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell's recent statement that he is a "socialist" as evidence for that event.

Beck said that, in the near future, left-wing "agitators" would foment violence so that President Obama could step in, stop the violence and "save" the American people.

He played a clip of former Clinton pollster Mark Penn telling Chris Matthews that the moment President Clinton reconnected with the country after his midterm defeat was the Oklahoma City bombing. Beck interpreted this statement as an admission that people on the left wanted an Oklahoma City-type event to occur so that Obama could reap the political benefit from its aftermath.

But Beck also reserved time for O'Donnell, whom he cast as evidence that the "mask" of the extreme leftists at the heart of the media and government would come off in the run-up to the "event." He called O'Donnell the "new, hot loverboy" at MSNBC, and then played the clip of the host telling Salon blogger Glenn Greenwald, "I am a socialist. I live to the extreme left of you mere liberals."

"But didn't we just hear that there are no socialists?" Beck said. "Wait a minute -- starting to unmask themselves!"

"I don't pal around with Communists," he continued. "I don't know any radical revolutionaries, I don't know any socialists," he said. "But apparently at NBC...it's not such a big deal."

I wonder how many death threats O'Donnell's received from Beck's Merry Band Of Mouthbreathers? :mad:


Glenn Beck's hate speech is going to get someone killed.

1. O'Donnell is the "new, hot loverboy"???????

Oh, my. Glenn appears to be a nervous breakdown waiting to happen. Somebody sneak up behind him and yell "BOO!" really loud, OK?

5. I wonder if Glenn Beck is a final solution attempt to drive Seniors into

early heart attacks?

[Dyler Turden]

2. If Beck had a brain

he would take it out and play with it.

There's a difference between a Communist and a Socialist, Mr. Beck. Did you take one of those evil socialist roads to work today?

[Loge23]

3. It is Beck that is inciting violence

Once again, we have a fool planting the seeds of hatred and fear.
Beck is really saying: "get ready, arm yourselves". He is clearly suggesting to his equally moronic followers that it's their "patriotic" duty to "defend" (read: attack) themselves from the "socialists".
The OP is right, Beck will get someone killed.

18. Rwandan radio revisited.

4. Reaping political benefits from a major tragic event? Republicans managed to "reap political

benefits" from 9/11 -and they will continue to do so. That footage of the burning towers never fails to work its magic.

6. O'Donnell has been calling himself a socialist for years

Why the big concern now?

[JonLP24]

7. I was going to laugh

until I saw your personal comment. You're right but the claim is so ridiculous that Beck made, how can anyone take him seriously?

[sufrommich]

11. Unfortunately, he's got fans. More than likely,demented fans. nt

8. Coming soon . . .

(but not to any ForProfitMedia) the story of a man who got likkered up, gathered all his guns and set out to find "that commie Lornz Ol' Donald whut GlennBeck dun tol't me 'bout. I'z a Murkin patroot n' Ah'm a-gawna keel 'im!"

This toxic turd from RadioRwanda is ACHING to get the killing started. His "show" is nothing but an extended "Hit" list of the perceived "enemies" that inhabit the thin, gray, fevered settlings between his ears that pass for his pathetic, paranoid brain.

9. LOL. So because O'Donnell says he's a socialist, that makes him a socialist?

He's made comments to this effect before, but his actions (especially on ideas like social security) don't seem all that socialist to me.

[Kalyke]

21. And, more than likely, he was thumping a sarcastic riff off

those Beckians who think anyone to the left of them is a socialist.

10. "The Event" is a TELEVISION SHOW, Glenn.

The black guy who plays the president is AN ACTOR...

:eyes:

12. Glenn BecKKK's mind is a scary place.....

[BlueState]

15. Wow great graphic!

[Canuckistanian]

13. Don't Beck's viewers ever tire of him calling wolf all the time?

He keeps predicting violence and mayhem from liberals - and nothing happens.

Do you think they'll get a clue soon?

[deutsey]

14. No...not with their short attention spans. n/t

[progressoid]

16. If the Reverend Beck says the apocalypse is coming, his congregation screams AMEN!

It's like a revival meeting. Check your brains at the door.

[SammyWinstonJack]

17. I know one of his fans who thinks he is nothing more than doom and gloom but likes him anyway.

:silly: :crazy:

[felinetta]

19. Bill Maher said that Beck is two steps away from playing with poop (I am paraphrasing)

[SpiralHawk]

20. Make that a half step. Beck is a demagogue intent on fomenting violence

that ugly much is apparent.

[Ikonoklast]

22. Yeah, but will poop want to play with Beck?

Doubt it.


Even shit has standards.
