i've said this before but beck seems like a kind of perverse conservative side-effect, chickens coming home to flourish. i'm pretty sure nixon didn't really believe his ex-new dealer opponents were involved in communist plots but he sure campaigned like he did. beck believes. he's like a walking embodiment of every below the belt, shit-talking conservative noise machine argument w/o the bill kristol straussian "lol look what i'm getting away with" apparatchik core.

ok beck played video of the black panthers in philly (some old allegation of intimidation during election time, there was nothing to it) and then video of farrakhan talking about change, and now.. idk, some group (community organizers?) who all just happen to be young black men, and then says wow, don't they all look really militant
so we're now in the realm of shameless, flagrant race-baiting

like, does the younger generation of conservatives even know who the Black Panthers (much less MOVE) were?
they know they're black

I mean come on Farrakhan? nobody gives a fuck about him anymore.
its the same with going all the way back to the Nazis... like, dudes, that war is OVER. At least the "spectre of communism" was actually still around until fairly recently

people are certainly discovering the Black Panther Newsreels on youtube
I watched them all recently on the first disc of this - http://www.amazon.com/What-We-Want-Believe-Panther/dp/B000ILYYPS & they are really something, especially Off The Pig. On youtube, some of the most explosive bits are carved into 45 second sections out of context, and they're stirring stuff up. But man they were so sharp, total leaders talking in razor sharp memes, they need less than 5 seconds to get their points buried in you, things like 'Slavery was mostly about greed, and Racism was the excuse' cut through 40 years of babbling

I know all that stuff, in general I am a huge fan of the Panthers (not least because of their media/art design savviness, which was unbelievable)

seriously what little i saw of the beck show today made me feel like such a naive fool for having asked a question about coded race-baiting. i mean, i was thinking there's no way someone could go on tv and be so flagrantly racist in this day and age, right? hahahahah

I went to college with a girl whose parents were both in the Panthers, who had (at the time) an Icelandic boyfriend. We joked that if she moved there she's have to change her name to J0ju Eldridgecleaversdottir.

the part where he said 'ONE LETTER IS MISSING'. and then paused. and instead of drawing in the C, drew in the Y, I began helplessly laughing so loud at my desk three people came by to see if I was okay

I know that Glenn Beck believes a big chunk of what he's saying but I really wonder if shit like that isn't intentionally funny.

well, far from shaking him when he does that, laughter on that front fuels him and his audience. 'Those ivy-leaguers think our spelling errors are more important than saving our country from the Oligarchy.' And actually I have been spending a lot less time laughing at Beck recently than wondering how in the world he can be countered & exposed.
