Fox News Hosts - Who is the worst?

It's the exasperated way he asks "How did this happen that we look at people who are Nazis and say that they are right wing?"

^^srsly not even (non-retarded) right-wingers are buying this "omg Nazis were so totally obviously LEFTIST!" bullshit right?

well, the one hannity book is about defending the nation from fascism and liberalism, and.. afaik jonah goldberg really got the ball rolling with his liberal fascism book, so.. yes, some people are buying! there's an active effort going on to rewrite the history of the early 20th century here, & i worry that while most everybody *i* know is dismissing this stuff as the garbage it is, one day we'll wake up and realize most kids in this country are being taught that the left & the progressive movement in particular are to blame for everything.

i guess i "get" the liberal "fascism" thing, but this whole thing where these dudes posit that Nazi Germany was, in fact, librul is like whoah

i should note that i did not watch the video (no headphones at the moment and I'm pretty sure I've seen it before)

To sum it up:

Guy from the Rand Institute: This Van Brunn's culture is a tribe of racist, anti-Jewish, anti-negro, anti-immigrant, everything and therefore he's a phenomenon of the Left because racism is a form of collectivism...there was a deal made by the Nazis and the Communists in the Germany in the 30s where they each agreed [now, bear with me here, this is the clever bit] to define themselves as the opposite of the other, you see the percentage in that...

Beck: Woah, man, you having just fuckin' blown my mind.

today - beck accuses obama admin of creating a 'thugocracy' in the white house

all his conspiracy talk about obama admin secretly run by ACORN/commmunity organizers, this kind of language, the other day fretting about the fcc diversity chair being out to shut down speech he doesn't like

how is it not coded race-baiting? i don't throw around that kind of accusation all the time, but for real, how is it not coded race-baiting?

he actually uses the word racist... but to describe them, and their motives behind the plans that "they" are assembling to silence "us" (i.e. Obama's new FCC chairman and their 'diversity committees' which will mandate changes at Fox in the name of 'equality')

it is not coded at all, it is simply inverted -- pretty much straight up those-racists-are-trying-to-take-me-out-by-calling-me-a-racist. the line 'This doesn't look like the country I grew up in' seemed way louder than the sentence he said before or after it...

this whole 'Speak Without Fear' week and I have lost track of the number of sentences that begin with Beck saying 'I Fear...'. Something like 25-30. He's just so afraid that... something's... going to happen. Not sure at all just what, mind you, but don't say he didn't warn you about it

I wonder if he's afraid that our president is going to lead us into an unnecessary foreign invasion

^ yeah exactly

so if we make it through the first term relatively unscathed, the Dow creeps back to 11,000+, no planes flown into any buildings etc is this guy going to shut up and go away?

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

eyup, that's race baiting!

lolz does anyone in America even really remember black militancy (which has been pretty much dead since the late-70s)?

Look out everybody, M.O.V.E. is back!

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

they know they're black

not to put too fine a point on it

what are modern-day black people not scary enough for them, they have to resort to some weird 40-yo bogeymen

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

in other words, 40 years old, but more alive than half the shit going on since then thanks to youtube

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)

do networks care if you have hit ratings but no advertisers?

ooh, i'll have to look up those newsreels abt the black panthers on youtube. i'm interested.

beck today was in the realm of, that was so racist it's hard to even get mad, it's just like wow, that was SO RACIST

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

Glenn Beck warns about the controlling OLIGARHY

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.

I always thought Network was a silly movie...

I just received this book for our library, it has some amazing pictures.

That 'oligarh' thing is gobsmacking. I wonder if he knew who George W.'s daddy was?

Glenn Beck warns about the controlling OLIGARHY

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

that makes me an elitist

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.

man, you can't make this shit up

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.

We need a 2010 remake of 'A Face in the Crowd' so badly

Hahaha, you fell into his trap
You can't spell Oligarch without C for CZAR!! hahahahhahahha

prefer to OILGARCH

so after posting the Beck clip on Facebook and having Kenan post a link to conservatives making fun of him, my wife made this comment:

Wait. Conservatives don't like boobs? So, it's my rack not my black?

<3

Lol and also LOL:

So this is how Megyn Kelly celebrates international women's day...

is there one cryogenically preserved shikse who gets cloned into every female news corp presenter ever

"fox news host, and alfred hitchcock love interest, Megyn Kelly-" (on colbert last night)
