I'm sure you've all seen this, but let's start a thread about it:



"The only chance we have as a country right now is for Osama Bin Laden to deploy and detonate a major weapon in the United States."

Discuss.
 
Tom Tomorrow had it covered quite well. (Ironically, he wrote this comic just before this latest nutcase came out with this line)
 
Fox? isnt that the channel where you normally get shouted down or your mic cut when you say anti-american things or when you did not stand behind the president during time of war?
i guess that was another fox channel.

How prevalent is this nut jobbery? Is it limited to Beck and his nut job guest or are their other nut jobs who "think" along the same lines?

Presumably Tom Tomorrow had sources as well, since the cartoon was written before that particular episode came out.

If you're asking for names,.... well, part of the issue with the current structure of the Republican party is that it seems to be led from the shadows. The official RNC chair has no power at all; most of the visible leaders are the unelected media like Beck, Coulter, and Limbaugh, and most of their talking points are taken from the blogosphere and underground media.

Beck is a self-confessed nutjob and much of his success is attributed to his edginess. Conservative talk radio and TV around the country has similar POVs with varying degrees. I can't stomach them, personally.

Well, the show has millions of viewers. Certainly they don't buy everything he's selling but Beck isn't the only one who shares these views. Some people are so enraged, disgusted, angry, hate-filled and vitriolic that they think liberals are the "real" problem and are constantly insinuating that libs want America to "lose" the "War on Terror (TM)" and that libs hate America and are out to destroy everything America holds dear and stands for. It's a dispicable sociopathic stance but not to far removed from those who thought all the problems in the world would be solved if enough Jews, blacks, gays and handicapped people died. It's not that Beck, O'Reilly, Hannity, Scarborough, Rush, Malkin, et al are advocating executing liberals (though some or all of them may harbor secret thoughts of that nature) but they do think of it as a rabid, ravenous disease that needs to be eradicated. A major attack on an American city would be, to them, just the impetus to prove that libs are a bunch of pussies who can't "defend America." Nevermind that Saint Ronnie couldn't prevent the barracks bombing in Lebanon and W couldn't prevent an attack that killed 4,000 American's. That's not the point. The point is that liberals are not just pussies but they also seek the economic and moral destruction of America and they MUST BE STOPPED BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY!!!!

Okay, lets think back a ways. No, back farther.
"It became necessary to destroy the village in order to save it."

"There was an old lady in a bed and I believe there was a priest in white praying over her... [U.S. Lt.] Calley pulled the old man outside. He said a few more words to the monk. It looked like the monk was pleading for his life. Lt. Calley then took his rifle and pushed the monk into a rice paddy and shot him point-blank."

Soldiers went berserk, gunning down unarmed men, women, children and babies. Families which huddled together for safety in huts or bunkers were shown no mercy. Those who emerged with hands held high were murdered. ... Elsewhere in the village, other atrocities were in progress. Women were gang raped; Vietnamese who had bowed to greet the Americans were beaten with fists and tortured, clubbed with rifle butts and stabbed with bayonets. Some victims were mutilated with the signature "C Company" carved into the chest. By late morning word had got back to higher authorities and a cease-fire was ordered. My Lai was in a state of carnage. Bodies were strewn through the village.

"Enragingly, liberals talk about Vietnam as if it proves something about the use of force generally rather than the Democrats own bungling incompetence in military affairs. Historical accounts of the Vietnam war are incomprehensible because liberals refuse to admit the failure of their own national security strategy. The only important lesson from the Vietnam War is this: Democrats lose wars." -- Ann Coulter

Emphasis mine

Do you really, really, really, think she's alone in this? Everyone, every single person who thinks like this would agree with Glen Beck (or if they don't, it's only some internal hypocrisy keeping them from following through on what they believe).

If the economy continues to tank, and, it likely will, the Republicans will return to power. What goes around, comes around.

But, which Republican? The ones who want to destroy America in order to save it? Or the ones who have to publicly apologize to Rush Limbaugh? Or perhaps the ones whose unwed daughters are having babies?

Your house is not in order.
 
I've been meaning to ask this for a while, but is Glenn Beck an actual "real" news presenter - I saw him on a British programme a while ago and assumed he was a wind up type character, something Sacha Baron Cohen would come up with.

IIRC he was crying about the love for his country, no tears and it was a pathetic performance.

Have you looked a the Dow Jones lately, or the S&P, or are you just basing your posts on what you've heard on right-wing radio?

Anyway, this thread has a topic, namely an insane 'winger saying that: "The only chance we have as a country right now is for Osama Bin Laden to deploy and detonate a major weapon in the United States."

The topic of the thread was not "Will Marc39 Please Be Wrong About The Economy?"

What do you base that on? It was tanking under them, too.

Exactly, and Bush was kicked out and the Dems are now in power. Americans are fickle. If Obama fails, they'll vote the Dems out and replace them with Republicans, again. Already, the Obama honeymoon is showing signs of wear.
