Glenn Beck: Something is very wrong

Regarding Glenn Beck's recent comments about Al Gore:

When a major media organization such as CNN allows the remarks of Glenn Beck to stand, something is very very wrong on a deep level. It is time, I believe, to pull back the curtain on the Limbaugh, Coulter, Beck, Hannity, O Reilly "machine" and expose it for what it is. It's fuel is hatred, greed, and fear. Our country can't withstand too much more of it in my view.

Glenn Beck on Al Gore:
“[W]hat was the first thing they did to get people to exterminate the Jews. Now, I’m not saying that anybody’s going to — you know Al Gore’s not going to be rounding up Jews and exterminating them. It is the same tactic, however. The goal is different.”

eugenics versus global warming

CharliePedersen's picture

Glenn Beck says he's just looking for balance and Hitler's eugenics is equal to Gore's global warmng. I think this is a bellweather for what we can expect in campaign 08...the power of denial is the strongest ally of the status quo. I believe Al Gore wrote "The Assault on Reason" because he knows the agenda has to have a wider net than the "narrow issue" of global warming. The real problem of global warming as an issue, as important as it is, is that it's all about something perceived to be a real crises in 20 or 30 years, not withstanding bellwhethers like Katrina. It's also the same reason why it's easy to attack.
Thinking people know that if you want to affect major change in 20-30 years, you have to start now. But it's really a beacon for the "in our face" national and world crises

But let's not get drawn in, like the Hitler tactics of hate, where the analogy could
better be made with mid-east dictators/kings and terrorists for that matter, use Isreal and the U.S.. as hate tergets to distract from the plight of the people of that region. Not that our foreign policy is helping the situation.

Let's just state that Glenn Beck's comments are simply "An assault on reason" and move on.

Those who want to monger fear under the threat of a global
"carbon tax" and loss of America's independence due to "the United Nations" and "globalization" versus our cherished freedom and free enterprise, need to understand American history better. Oligopolies in collusion with Cartels is what Teddy Roosevelt, Taft, and Wilson's era called "combinations in restraint of trade.", not free enterprise.

Global warming is a symptom for the diseases of high energy cost , insuficient fresh water, medical and world health crises, genocide, terrorism, human trafficking, and religious/ethnic intolerence. These are global issues, and at the end of the day, maybe the most important issues for America's ability to sustain a rising economy.

What these issues are going to require are bold vision, leadership, and experience, which is the true "rising tide" for the Al Gore movement... Keeping America strong and a true beacon of light in a co-dependent world. This is the juxtaposition to
Glenn Bleck's "politics of fear and blind faith" based on "reliance on falsehoods."

Other than that, i have no opinion.


Just listened to the Beckaloque

He is making an interesting analogy----but one that could be substituted for by a many number of correlations. "The world is flat" Use of chemicals helps in food production, The burning of coal and fossil fuels is most productive, and "Iraqi terrorism is cause for war" on the one hand, and thoughts like poaching of animals is creating endangered species, strip mining is creating droughts and environmental disturbances, and dumping toxic waste in the ocean has far reaching effects. Some thoughts were based on folk lore and corporate greed. The other school of thought was based on scientific information spread by concerned activists. Now, which school of thought more closely resembles Hitlers ideology?


URGENT: PARTICIPATE FOR A THIRD POLITICAL PARTY, NOW !!

URGENT: PARTICIPATE FOR A THIRD POLITICAL PARTY, NOW !!
REALIZE WE ARE LIVING UNDER TYRANNY SINCE 2000 !!

“Amidst all this violence and bloodshed” in Iraq, “is the sacrifice worth it?
Republican and Democrat congress alike know and could care less that the sacrifice is being borne overwhelmingly by lower-income whites, Hispanics and African-Americans who comprise the bulk of the casualties? Nor do they address 655,000
civilian Iraq's killed in this corrupt war.

To understate the case, neither the Democratic Party nor Republican Party seem to be serving the people of the United States as well as they could. This, too, might be a blessing because maybe it is now time for a legitimate centrist third party to be formed to take back our government from polarized politics, special interests, corrupt lobbyists and some of the worst elements of American society.

Don't forget the lesson of Jesse Ventura's election as governor in Minnesota. Many people there did not want the Republican and Democrat professional politicians that also ran, with their traditional positions, backers and fund-raising machines.Are we sick of the corruption, lobbyist,
foreign influence, organized crime, religious Leaders agenda in government affairs.(Most are )

It is now time for a third party because both existing major parties seem to be run by people with their own rigid and sometimes extreme agendas and values. Agendas and values that do not necessarily represent the views of mainstream Americans. A polarization seems to have taken place on many issues. Two polarized views on many social, moral, psychological and spiritual levels split the discussion and rob the centrist middle ground, where most Americans stand..

We can point to many officeholders, career politicians and people behind the scenes and see that there is a dark side to both major parties. There seems to be financial corruption, political corruption, even moral and spiritual corruption in both parties.

Each day it is more apparent that another political party is needed for the 2008 presidential and congressional elections. Neither the Democrats nor the Republicans have done anything to eliminate ``Government for Sale'' lobbying and the PAC system. America has been sold out, look at the
recent bills on the WAR and IMMIGRATION.

No mention is made by either party of the $9 trillion national debt which consumes more and more tax dollars in interest every year, even if we succeeded in having a balanced budget. The gap in income is becoming wider between the ``corporate elite'' and the vast majority of working men and women. Good jobs are being lost daily. The Wall Street Journal reports a new corporate layoff in almost every issue. It seems like government has been "outsourced" to a foreign lobby (AIPAC).

Free trade is a joke and has resulted in the loss of thousands of jobs. Taxpayer money is used to compensate for bad loans by global bankers to corrupt foreign governments.

Neither party is capable of dealing with these problems, nor do they care to. The time has come for another party dedicated to government by and for the people. We may not have another chance.

The larger specialty groups like Veterans Organizations, Seniors Organizations, etc. that are treated like meat to be processed through the grinder, before and after their usefulness was done, need to remember that the reason they fought/worked was to save the rights and liberties of The People of America and their children. Instead, they dig for scraps of which they fought, from the tables of lying tyrants eating our peoples rightly deserved sustenance. There will not be rights for individuals, groups or segments until there are rights for all.

What Are You Waiting On? America needs you now. The Constitution needs you now. Our rights and liberties as free men, women and children of God/nature and evolution need you now.

Even a two party Constitutionally compatible unity would make news overseas, our only source of real news for the most part. Let me say "in the view from New Orleans" one wonders if there is going to be a 2008 election, even a corrupt one, let alone a verified true election process. The 3rd parties and affiliates need to unite now. Or, they and we will be damned to tyranny.

The sad reality, it has already occured, the 2000, and 2004 presidential elections were just that, we have been damned to tyranny for the last seven years. This country's righteous heritage is lost to all.

The only "deal breaker" issues should be those that infringe upon our rights and liberties as granted by the "historical background" interpretation of the Constitution which includes our rights inherent as free men, women and children.

The Constitution was the most empowering document the founders could muster in their best effort from the best minds of the time, perhaps in all time, regarding liberty and government. It has been called, generation upon generation throughout the world, the gold standard of rights and freedom for the people and their protection from the government. Yet, our current government of neo-cons, media and even some individuals call it outdated, irrelevant to current times, "a living constitution", and various other false interpretations and claims, and now swear their oaths of office to this bastardized constitution.

There is only one true interpretation of the Constitution, the historical background interpretation. The founders also made sure to leave hundreds upon hundreds of quotes and documents that readily show the intent of the text.

WHO ?? I THINK AL GORE AND RALPH NADER SHOULD LEAD A THIRD PARTY. THE GREEN PARTY.

A CONTRACT WITH THE "AMERICAN" PEOPLE ON ALL ISSUES, SIGNED AND SEALED.


Don't like the party crash it

reelectademocrat's picture

I am of the mindset that by getting massive amounts of new blood in the democratic party we stand a much better chance of keepin the USA Titanic afloat, we have hit the iceberg.

So you don't like the party get active, get you friends active elect each other to positions of authority and then tell you local and state parties what you want them to do in 08 and beyond.

Give Em Gore,

Nelson

Gore needs to stay Democratic to get elected

robgreenlee's picture

I think this would be a mistake. While it sounds great, I want Gore to be elected our next President and the Green Party is not the correct path.

He needs to bump out other competitive candidates from the race like Sen. Clinton and Sen. Obama.

Actually a ticket with Gore and Obama is the winning demo ticket. Let's not get distracted from the path to success.

Rob Greenlee,
For Gore in 2008
