Beck: ‘The violent left is coming to kill, to bankrupt, to destroy’

becktheleft

Not to be outdone by Bryan Fischer’s eye-brow raising statements, Glenn Beck made certain to produce his own headlines at the Voters Value Summit Saturday afternoon. In his speech, the former Fox News host said, “Hate is on a scale and is growing at a planetary scale of unprecedented size,”…

Beck’s $5,697 Israel trip doesn’t include tickets to the main event

Glenn-Beck

For only $5,697 you can go with Glenn Beck to Israel, but don’t expect to actually attend his rally for that price. The Fox News host announced Friday the first of two travel agencies that will be providing tours to his August 24 “Restoring Courage” rally at the Southern Wall…

Friday Genius Ten “Obama’s Knee Is A Citizen*” Edition

*Joke attributed to a Facebook friend. So, this is perhaps the greatest thing that happened all week, and that’s in a week when Glenn Beck shut down his show. Jack Cashill claimed that this photo of Obama with his grandparents was a fake one: And that this much fuzzier one…

Why Mormoms are hated

Well, at least you can enjoy the flicker of panic in Hannity’s eyes

Via Digby, this video is just so awesome: I think my favorite is how some conservatives have decided that a “clever” dodge when challenged about their beliefs on Obama’s religion is to say that his religion is “liberalism”. Which is a way of saying, “Look, I think he’s a Muslim,…

Putting my money on paranoid hysteria

It’ll be interesting seeing how this battle plays out. As Tom Tomorrow’s cartoon today suggests, the only real consistent line throughout conservative reaction to the Egyptian protests has been a need to be loud and insistent that this is all about America without doing anything so quaint as educating yourself…

Birtherism runs into a couple of speed bumps

I could write some about how the GOP is trying to use anti-choice nonsense to redefine rape so that simply saying “no” or being legally unable to consent isn’t enough, but it’s Friday, and I’m in a good mood and I don’t want to depress myself. So, instead I’m going…

Beck ‘fantasizes’ about Obama getting ‘beheaded’ in India

It’s the classic double-negative: God forbid anything bad happen to the people I so love to hate. That was the theme of Glenn Beck’s Thursday radio broadcast, in which he spun a series of myths about the president’s ongoing trip across Asia into a violent fantasy about Obama getting his…

More on right wing domestic terrorism

I know I probably sound like a broken record on this, but it’s important to cover the growing problem of right wing domestic terrorism. Media Matters has put together a report on the beliefs of Byron Williams, who got into a shootout with California Highway Patrol officers on July 18th.…
