Conservative talk show host Glenn Beck says that GOP hopeful Mitt Romneys poll numbers have fallen as a part of a plan from God to make it obvious to the American people that divine intervention was responsible when Republicans take the White House in November.
I know Mitt Romney wasnt your first choice, nor was he mine, Beck recently told controversial historian David Barton in a video clip highlighted by Right Wing Watch on Monday. I am to the point that A God is trying to make this so clear to us that if it happens, its his finger. Because nothing looks good.
And yet, everybody I know who I consider a spiritual giant feels good, he continued. And it bothers me that I feel good because, Im like, theres no reason that I should feel good on this.
The former Fox News host went on to explain that Romneys hidden private life proved that he was kind of on the line with President George Washington.

Come to think of it, that's the only reason the entire slate of reich-wing pundits and con men/women exist.

(11,619 posts)Look, to my brother, a minister in a very right wing church, this comment is totally logical and acceptable. For the religious, God tests them constantly to make sure they remain faithful and rewards them with miracles.
Clearly, Beck knows his audience, even if he is a complete kook.
And when Obama wins, Beck can simply say that God is punishing a faithless nation for disobedience, like he punished Israel, and his flock will continue drinking his koolaid.
Yes, Beck knows his audience.
