I figured it out
Glen Beck is the reincarnation of Howard Beale
Through me the way to the city of woe, Through me the way to everlasting pain, Through me the way among the lost.
Justice moved my maker on high.
Divine power made me, Wisdom supreme, and Primal love.
Before me nothing was but things eternal, and eternal I endure.
Abandon all hope, you who enter here.

He`ll eventually get it right.
Then he`ll get shot.

I think Fox News is like one of those middle eastern terrorist organizations, and the teabaggers are the cult following. If Beck (the religious authority) were to die in any way that could be construed as assisted, the teabaggers would lash out like a bunch of mujadeen.

Honestly. Change the image a bit and they look just like the precursor to Al-Qu'aida.

Personally, I think they're tools.

Al-Qai'da actually had some men of intelligence amongst its members and were very often able to turn the tables on those who attempted to use them (Sudan, Afghanistan, Pakistani Intelligence etc), because they valued their group independence over the sort of "assistance" various groups could offer.

The Teabaggers, by contrast are more like the Grey Wolves, and the neocons who got fat and rich off 8 years of unending foreign and culture wars are the Special Warfare Department.  The Teabaggers are there to incite chaos, and under the cover of that chaos, allow for targeting of select individuals (these individuals may have strategic importance but, as in the case of Van Jones, may be taken care of merely to cause the administration to flinch).  When that chaos gets too out of hand, ie when the Republicans return to power, they'll be co-opted or crushed.  Just in the same way the same military which armed and trained the Grey Wolves were the ones who were able to suppress them, after their military coup.

The only difference is this is being played out mostly on the social-political level and not the paramilitary-terrorist level.  Some of that is part of the program (Broken windows are just the start) but not all of it.

If Beck died even under easily explainable circumstances, I could see violence erupting.  It'd be Vince Foster x 10,000.  But ultimately, they'd get taken down, because the guys behind them are not going to let them get too out of hand, too dangerous.  They'll be kept at almost boiling point at all times.  Sometimes a little water will bubble over the edge, but the whole thing will never be allowed to go.

Either way, Beck is more or less just faking it

Riling up idiots and taking their money. (Same shit the religious right does) When someone takes it too far and someone get's killed cause of his idiot conspiracies he probably wont even lose a night of sleep.

Oh yeah.  There are a few true believers out there, but most of the really big ones are in it for the money and the power.  Which in some respects may be worse, since at least true believers are sincere idiots, who really think they are doing the right thing.  Beck et al just don't give a fuck.

That is hilariously retarded. Didn't he suggest that progressives should be hunted?

Glenn Beck Loves American Nazis Sympathizers, Promotes Book by Prominent Hitler Advocate of the 1930s

QuoteWell, Glenn Beck has long had a predilection for promoting the work of far-right extremists like Cleon Skousen, as well as promoting a variety of ideas and theories that originated with the extremist right.

But his latest endorsement is simply beyond the pale. Media Matters has the whole scoop:
QuoteOn his radio show today, Glenn Beck heralded and promoted the work of Nazi sympathizer Elizabeth Dilling, who spoke at rallies hosted by the leading American Nazi group and praised Hitler. Today, Dilling is heralded by White Supremacists and White Aryans who revere her "fearless" work against Jewish people.

    As Media Matters' Simon Maloy noted, Beck had kind words for Dilling's 1934 anti-communist book, The Red Network, saying: "This is a book -- and I'm a getting a ton of these -- from people who were doing what we're doing now. We now are documenting who all of these people are. Well, there were Americans in the first 50 years of this nation that took this seriously, and they documented it." Maloy noted that Dilling has a long history of rabid anti-Semitism, such as calling President Eisenhower "Ike the Kike" and labeling President Kennedy's New Frontier program the "Jew frontier."

    Professor Glen Jeansonne and writer David Luhrssen note in the encyclopedia Women and War that Dilling wasn't only anti-Semitic, but a sympathizer and supporter of the Nazis and Hitler:
   
QuoteWhen World War II began in 1939, Dilling was part of the national network of anti-Semitics, anti-Communists, and Nazi sympathizers such as Father Charles Coughlin, Reverend Gerald L. K. Smith, Reverend Gerald Winrod, and William Dudley Pelley. Material generated by Nazi organizations in Germany to inspire race hated and exploit dissatisfaction in the United States found its way into Dilling's publications. She spoke at rallies hosted by the leading U.S. Nazi organization, the German-American Bund, and had traveled to Germany, pronouncing the country as flourishing under Hitler.

        Dilling called for appeasing Germany; she blamed the war on Jews and Communists and accused the Roosevelt administration of being controlled by Jewish Communists. ... After Pearl Harbor, Dilling resisted wartime rationing and denounced the Allies.

    So Dilling "spoke at rallies hosted by the leading U.S. Nazi organization, the German-American Bund." Who's the German-American Bund? Let Glenn Beck, Elizabeth Dilling fan, tell you:
QuoteBECK: The Bund gathered socially and ran Nazi camps. The camps were advertised as summer retreats where you could escape the city, celebrate German heritage, dance, drink, at places like Camp Nordlund in New Jersey and Camp Siegfried in Long Island. The camps hidden as pro-German/pro-American were attended by adults and families.

        On the outside, they looked like any other camp. But the children were indoctrinated in the ideals of Nazism, breeding young Americans to become full-fledged Nazis. They marched, performed drills in Nazi uniforms. And they were taught about their racial superiority, their potential as Aryan youth.


        As media scrutiny of the Bund increase, so did anti-Nazi protests, including other Americans who hated the Nazi image and Jewish-American veterans. Instead of quieting down, Bund leader Fritz Kuhn decided to hold the largest rally in their history, Madison Square Garden. These American Nazis showed their true colors, beating a Jewish protester who rushed the stage. Kuhn and other speeches were nothing more than anti-Semitic rants wrapped in the American flag protected by the First Amendment. [Glenn Beck, March 11]

    British Professors Christopher Partridge and Ron Geaves wrote that Dilling was a "pro-Nazi anti-Semite" who disseminated Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion. The ADL describes Protocols as "a classic in paranoid, racist literature. Taken by the gullible as the confidential minutes of a Jewish conclave convened in the last years of the nineteenth century, it has been heralded by anti-Semites as proof that Jews are plotting to take over the world."

    Dilling's Nazi sympathies have made her a cult hero among Aryan groups and White Nationalists/Supremacists. For instance, the group Women for Aryan Unity features Dilling in a publication whose purpose is "to honour Aryan Women past and Present."

...

But at least someone on his staff had to be aware of her background. Most likely it was pointed out to Beck and he ignored it.
...
You'd think he'd at least try for some consistency outside of his use of tears.
