(Via David Neiwert, http://crooksandliars.com )

Glenn Beck was in prime form last night. He warned everyone up front that he wasn't arguing that eugenics are about to descend on America.

But then it becomes clear that what he is arguing is that the Democrats and progressives in general and President Obama in general are just like the Nazis. And in case you didn't get it the first time, he caps the whole thing off by comparing a Nazi cartoon to liberals' dismissal of the teabaggers.

Of course, he knows he can get away with this kind of nonsense because, hey, http://mediamatters.org/columns/200908110005">if Rush can get away with it, he probably can, too.

And he makes plain that he completely supports Sarah Palin's intimations of "death panels" and subscribes to her view that universal health care will bring about euthanasia.

In other words, he's a "deather."

Oh, and as an added bonanza, he cries. Again. He always does this whenever he mentions his disabled daughter. Which reminds me: Why do these people who get all indignant when their families get mentioned always hold their families up for public displays of whatever political point they want to make? Just wondering.

File this one under "Deluxe Nutball Rant, with Nazis on the side."

31. This is lost on the nutters

President Obama wouldn't be accepted by the Nazis. He is not of the correct race.

[sui generis]

38. let's drop the Nazi crap

by even talking about it we're playing on his turf. Nazi was short for "Nationalist" in German. Republicans are the closest things to a Nationalist. Technically it was a political party that got taken over by an ultra conservative fascist ideology, kind of like the republicans. Anyone can be a fucktarded misguided republican, ergo, Obama can be a nazi. It's an idiotic distinction I know but skin color does not preclude political party membership.

now lets talk about the real evil here - CNN hired Glenn Beck and pays him to spew this shit. We don't need another news commentator. The best thing happening is that he's digging his own grave, the more he babbles and alienates half of America on a "mainstream" news channel. Here's some more rope Glenn, have a heyday.

[janx]

2. The Weimar Republic?

?

[Libertas1776]

3. I can't

comprehend how any sane person can take Goebbels...err I mean Glenn Beck's rantings seriously.

[Fedja]

13. Goebbels was an evil genious

Glenn is a sniveling shit who wishes he had the same power of persuasion.

[liberation]

41. Actually... I don't think that Goebbels in his best day could have thought he would be able

to get away with what Beck is getting away with.

If you think about it, we have an asshole like Beck... who is of German descent and who belongs to a church who up to recently considered non-white people as being intrinsically "tainted," trying to blame a half black man of being a "nazi." If that is not the worst case of runaway projection in recent times, I don't know what it is.

[AzNick]

4. We adopted a child with CP

On top of that he has mental retardation, the poor kid. He is fun, we love him but unfortunately life is going to be hard for him.

Seriously, if I was to cry like Glenn Beck about our CP adopted son, please, take him away from us, because that means we don't have what it takes to take care of a CP child.

You need to be a bit stronger than this pansy.

[scarface2004]

5. i would love to go all naZi on glennn bekks ass!!!

and stomp him with my jackboots! frikkin asshole!!

[Ohio Democrat]

6. Don't Trust His "Facts"

Glenn is not only just telling straight up lies which he calls "facts", he is taking things OUT OF CONTEXT when it comes to the comments that Obama's advisors said.

Just can't trust a single thing this crazy says

[opihimoimoi]

8. Beck will soon be reduced to a tiny speck...his value in dropping like an anchor in deep water

[oldironside]

7. He's crying out for help...

and it's just further proof of the superiority of the NHS. In the UK Beck would be getting his psychiatric care and medication provided for him. If necessary he could be sectioned to force him to accept treatment, at least until he was no longer a threat to himself and others.

It is absolutely disgusting that a man who is so obviously mentally ill is being used by the medical industrial complex to further their aims.

[opihimoimoi]

9. in this case...a lobotomy is suggested.....

[oldironside]

10. An NHS lobotomy?

I'm not 100% sure you can get a lobotomy on the NHS these days. What he really needs is the realisation that he's spouting hateful lies. He'd find himself much easier to live with if he could find whatever love or compassion he has left inside himself - although Fox probably had that surgically removed the day he signed his contract.

Leave the dark side, Glenn, it's turning you into Dick Cheney.

[opihimoimoi]

27. UnAttractive Beck Beckons to UnAttractive Beeple = Negative Group...not good for gen society

[oldironside]

28. I stand by what I said...

... he's mentally ill. Watching his show is the modern equivalent of paying a penny to get into Bedlam to bait the inmates.

[opihimoimoi]

30. Fully Agree...he is sick...and worse...beckons to other infected out there

[dotymed]

34. HONESTLY, IN OTHER COUNTRIES HE WOULD BE SHUNNED FOR HIS LIES AND LUNACY

Only in America....can a fool like this, become wealthy
spouting obvious lies for RW, uninformed, frightened by
design, VOTERS.

[opihimoimoi]

39. The END us NEAR...the POS will soon disappear

[mwb970]

33. The combination of raging paranoia and cloying weepiness is indicative.

The man is an emotional mess. Normal people don't behave like this. Nor do they watch the TV show of someone who does.

America must have more mentally ill people than any other country. Is it the food?

[oldironside]

37. I do find it hard to concentrate....

... after eating a MacDonalds. Maybe the CIA put something in there to keep us all stupid.

[opihimoimoi]

44. Its the food and the water or whatever they be smoking

[tomm2thumbs]

11. today is definitely the day he has proven he is unstable...

... as an actor, that is. His inability to cry copiously on cue belies a hidden wish to be a movie star - if only he could act. Instead, he's a game show host for Fox. Sad really.

[Crunchy Frog]

12. Can anyone do a photoshop of Glen Beck with a Hitler mustache?

Thank you.

[tomm2thumbs]

22. glenn beck as hitler

I would have done it, but I don't want to play the same stupid Republican games they are playing. Not saying you should do it yourself, but I think wasting even 2 seconds of effort on anything Glenn Beck is the worst use of 2 seconds I can think of so good luck on your quest.

[ingac70]

14. Stop Glenn Beck's race baiting!

15. that was one of the worst pieces of slanted "journalism" ive ever seen.

His insistence on comparing Obama, his advisor's and supporters to NAZIS is outrageous, offensive, and disgusting. He kept talking about when the crisis hits, these naZi like people in the White House are going to kill your granny, the sick, the disabled, the fetuses, the elderly etc. First off, we are already in crisis dummies, and I ask, which party had been more of an advocate for health care for all, champions for the sick, disabled and elderly (think of Eunice Kennedy Shriver and the special olympics), and against our CURRENT health insurance industry rationing care for profit? NOT the Republicans! Beck is out of control and his message is not only inaccurate, but dangerous. He's stirrng the emotions of people who cant' or won't try to dissect his lies because they are angry about the state of the country (which of course is mostly the Republican and Bush's fault) and he's directing their anger like a laser scope on Obama's head. This is truly irresponsible and seditious. What ever happened to journalism? Now we just get these faux emotional diatribes and ideologically driven opinion. No fact checking, no counterpoint, no debate, just incendiary unsubstantiated claims with revolutionary urgency. Even a Republican at a recent health care meeting, when faced with the "just say no to health care" disruptors (WTF!), told them to stop listening to Beck and these talk shows. WE NEED TO HAVE A REAL DEBATE about HARD ISSUES, and BECK and his ilk, are not debating, they are misinforming and harming our democracy and the health of this nation.

[Trocadero]

16. The word "evil" was created for people like Beck.

[BREMPRO]

17. this video thread is being freeper unrecommended.. I just recommended it

and it still is at <0

[Turborama]

20. The YouTube comments are being trolled by freepers too.

I can't believe what they're saying. For anyone who thinks that he's 'just an entertainer and no-one takes him seriously', this is evidence that people actually do take him seriously! I find it hard to believe myself, but they do.

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

18. Boo hoo his sponsors are learing him

hehe

[republicansarewhores]

19. Dear God...

Someone put a cap in him already, PLEASE... we do the same to other sick animals that need to be put down as an act of mercy, don't we?

RAW

[JDPriestly]

21. The NAZIs hated the Communists and vice versa.

Nobody can be both a NAZI and a Communist at the same time. For me, it just proves the total irrationality of the right-wingers that they accuse Obama of being a NAZI in one breath and a Communist in the other.

And the funniest thing of all is that in Germany, it was not the NAZIs who introduced universal single payer health care. It was the Kaiser and he did it way back in the 19th century. The Kaiser introduced universal health care in order to take the wind out of the sails of the socialists.

So, because I actually know German history, this right-wing propaganda is actually very funny to me.


GERMANY: Wehrwirtschaft
Monday, May. 22, 1939
(Note the date on this interesting article from Time Magazine.)

. . . .

While Prussia was busy consolidating the German nation by successive wars with Denmark, Austria and France, no one paid much attention to List. But after 1871, he provided justification for what Aggrandizer Bismarck wanted to do.

An aristocratic landowner from Pomerania in the backward German east, Bismarck cared little for the doctrines of economic freedom from feudal interference that were popular in free trade England. He made German capitalism an "assisted" capitalism, far more consciously purposeful than the economic systems of the west. Price-fixing and market-sharing cartels were encouraged; protection was granted to both agriculture and industry. The Prussian railroads were bought for the Prussian State, and the Social Democratic trade unions were won over to the paternalistic system partly because of the general pre-War prosperity and partly because Bismarck had introduced sickness, accident and old-age insurance for wage-earners.

http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,761353-2,00.html

To clarify the time period in which Bismarck and Kaiser Wilhelm created Germany's social welfare system, here is a Wikipedia excerpt.

Wilhelm I, also known as Wilhelm the Great<1> (William Frederick Louis, German: Wilhelm Friedrich Ludwig) (March 22, 1797–March 9, 1888) of the House of Hohenzollern was the King of Prussia (January 2, 1861–March 9, 1888) and the first German Emperor (18 January 1871–March 9, 1888).

Under the leadership of Wilhelm and his Chancellor Otto von Bismarck, Prussia achieved the unification of Germany and the establishment of the German Empire.

. . . .

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelm_I,_German_Emperor

I realize that even here on DU very few people have the patience or interest to bother to try to understand how absurd the accusations are that Obama is a NAZI or that universal health care is a socialist or NAZI invention. It was the brainchild of the German monarchy. The article from the Times explains the economic bind that Germany found and finds itself in due to its lack of natural resources.

[Tsar_Bomba]

42. I agree,

but Beck knows his audience are a bunch of ignorant hicks. He speaks their language and collects a million dollar salary doing so. His audience will continue to be left behind and even Jeebus won't be able to save them. Meanwhile the wealthy will build fortified enclaves to protect themselves from the rabble.

23. **VIDEO** Glenn Beck singing the praises of For-Profit Health Care System

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bX1rLv_hNeI

How soon he forgets... guess this was when they took his brain out because it was surgery in his butt.

[Vroomfondel]

24. He totally cut off Obama's dialogue....

and made it sound as if he actually wanted to kill grandmothers. What a spineless little gnat. But of course 'wingers won't pick up on that.

[Loudmxr]

25. I don't trust the posters. If they are Nazi. Where are the swastikas?

The first is just printed in German. The other looks like it could be from the 19th century. Other parts of the world speak German. Like upper Wisconsin during the same era.

But would Glenn Beck lie to me?? Sure he would. He lies to himself. :smoke:

[deek]

26. His daughter has a "gnarled" hand

and he cries and chokes up because of that? I feel sorry for his daughter if his attitude toward her is like that.

[Douglas Carpenter]

29. truly, sick and twisted craziness...

[indimuse]

32. Someone give this

BAFOON his te-te and blanket back, ALREADY! omg....

35. WE CURRENTLY HAVE HEALTH CARE CEO's

Whose millions of dollars of annual bonuses depend on how many
people they can deny health care to. People who pay their
insurance company (CEO's) and when they need it most, are told
to fuck off and die. How dare the fool Glen Beck,
"imagine" what it will be like under Universal
Health care. He should be telling Americans what it is like
under the "for PROFIT" system we currently
have...BASTARD.

[Tsar_Bomba]

36. How long before we find

Beck with a recently fired pistol in one hand and spilled bottle of prescription pills in the other. Soon I hope.

[GTurck]

40. He undercut...

his own argument by showing the poster asking (if it did) was this person's life worth 60,000 marks? Well the answer on our side is yes; the wingers say we can't afford health care for everybody so if you can't get it too bad.
Even the propagandists have a very large hole in their thinking.
LOL:rofl:

[florida08]

43. FYI

Here's the Ezekial Emanuel paper he cited. Of course he's taking it out of context.

46. I have to wonder if he had the decency to ask his daughter for her permission to use her in such

a distasteful, to say the least, manner. It reminds me of the guy who wheeled his adult son with CP in a wheelchair to Dingell's town hall meeting and then dared Dingell to have him and his and arrested. No one should use their child with a disability as a prop.
