Recently, with all of the violence in Egypt, Glenn beck has been doubling down on his rather apocolyptic predictions on what might happen. For instance, in this recent screed from his radio show he says this:
Now, then, Chris Matthews, a few days ago on Hardball, said that he had never seen anything like that said on TV. You must live in a different part of the country. For every Sunday for years, itenerant preachers have been putting out predictions of Armageddon starting in Egypt.
Here is Jack Van Impe from his Sunday morning program. A program 12 YEARS AGO..
Now I have been saying for some time that the Tea Party movement...the REAL Tea Party movement, was inspired not by people like Sarah Palin, but by people like Van Impe who have preached that these are the "Last Days" as predicted in Revelations, and that those who are with the Lord (specifically those who are straight, white, asexual, and conservative) have a duty to eliminate certain heathen from the earth to please the coming savior.
So with a date set (MAY 21st), some of those apocolyptic visions that Glenn Beck has been having might just come true...but they won't be from the left. It would be from the very teabagging, flag waving, Islam-hating, Xian warriors who hang on every word of Beck's and his cohorts on FoxNews, and in places like World Net Daily.
Last night, Keith Olbermann hit his usuall Special Comment home run, offering in startling 20-minute detail about the Tea Bag express that is about to run over this country like a 18-wheeler going at 100mph with no brakes.....downhill.
Before you vote on Tuesday, listen to this fully. Then I have a few words to say to you...
Yes we have the power to do more than that. And it is that power that I fear more than anything in this election. Because for people like Angle and Paul and the other teabaggers to invade our Capitol it will take the knowing participation of voters. Olbermann comes closer to anyone in putting the responsibility squarely on where it belongs...not just those who stay home and not vote, but those who go out and do so.
If these and other loons win on Tuesday, the fault will not be with Fox News, or Glenn Beck, or the persuasive powers of Sarah Palin, or the avalanche of money that has been bestowed upon the bagger candidates. The fault will lie solely on an electorate in each state who refuses to check facts or listen anything that even pretends to offer reason. Like the Germans in the 30's, this disaster will happen with the willing participation of citizens who actually agree with this shit.
And because of this, we MUST hold voters in these states accountable for their votes. Their punishment must be of shunning. If Nevada and Arizona and other states do not realize what they have done, they should be shunned until they do.
Mr. Olbermann, as always, is a master of language, but sometimes the words must come from the source. As the community of America seems hellbound to be, as the character he portays says, an "insult to the world," here is Spencer Tracy, from the classic 60's film "Inherit the Wind," able assisted by Mssrs. Elliot Reid, Dick York,Fredrick March, and Harry Morgan. The words said nearly 50 years ago are haunting and damning in their prophetic nature....
Now if for any second you think this is just a small bunch of crazies just making noise, look at what they have already done:
Arizona Hispanics flee state in droves before new immigration law S.B. 1070 takes effect in July
BY Meena Hartenstein
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER
Hasta la vista! Reports are swirling that Hispanics in Arizona are fleeing the state before a controversial new immigration law goes into effect July 29.
The law, which has sparked a heated national debate, requires police officers to conduct routine traffic stops or other checks to ask people about their immigration status if there is "reasonable suspicion" they're in the country illegally.
Though precise numbers are not yet available, early anecdotal reports from local schools, businesses and residents indicate that Hispanics could be leaving in droves to avoid the law's impact, USA Today reported Wednesday.
Superintendent Jeffrey Smith of the Balsz Elementary School District, which is 75% Hispanic, said 70 students were pulled out of school following the law's passage April 23 and that parents said it was the reason they were leaving.
It is already having the desired effect. You see, we're not talking about Canadians or Europeans who might be in AZ illegally (about a quarter of a million Canadians alone are in this country undocumented). They want to get rid of the Hispanics.
The fear of a Brown planet in 2010 seems to have eclipsed the fear of a Black planet in the late 1900's.
Minorities now make up a fifth of Utah's population
Utah continued to become more ethnically and racially diverse last year, according to Census Bureau estimates released Thursday, and Latinos grew to account for 12 percent of the population.
The state's share of white, non-Latino residents slipped to 81 percent in 2009, down from 85 percent in 2000. So minorities made up nearly a fifth of Utah's population last year -- and a quarter of Salt Lake County's.
These latest minority estimates -- perhaps conservative, a leading state demographer says -- show a state continuing to look more like the nation of immigrants in which it rests, and where, in coming decades, a minority-majority population will recast how Americans define "minority."
Already the United States this year is, for the first time, experiencing more minority than white majority births, and Utah is about two generations behind but catching up, University of Utah demographer Pam Perlich said. The only way to stop the trend, she predicted, is to throw the state into a lasting economic slide. http://www.sltrib.com/D=g/ci_15272323
But fear of Mexicans is just the tip of the iceberg. White, middle-aged, born-agains are seeing their entire world go up in flames.
Radio stations they've listened to for ages now are in Spanish or Asian languages. The local KFC may now be a El Pollo Loco. Gays are not only marrying, but those unions seem to be outlasting straight ones.
People in their 60's are looking and acting younger. Every sexual more seems to have been accpeted as normal except incest and bestiality, and they seem to be next. Sweet songs of love have been supplanted with hard-edged tunes about fellatio and mastrubation.
America is no longer feared. More laughed at than anything else. Christianity seems to be losing out to Islam, Buddism, and even Scientology. Nothing is as people think it's supposed to be.
And on top of that.......on top of all that.......this great country is being run by.....one of.....them.
One of.......THEM.
Is it any wonder why, despite one of the most organized efforts to drive someone off the airwaves I have seen since the Smothers Brothers in the mid 1960's, Glenn Beck continues to to attract more than 2.3 million people. And his advertisers are not the usual bunch either. Gold coin sellers preaching that the only currecy that will be allowed after The New Troubles will be gold. Survival food distributors. The type of clients usually found on small market, ultra-rightest, the-illuminati-are-coming-to-get-you tak shows.
And it's more than that. Beck's 9/12 movement has become, indeed, a politcal machine. A machine that is beyond the control of the traditional GOP or even the Tea Party's queen bee, Sarah Palin. It is the baggers who control THEM, not the other way around.
And they seem to be ready to die for their cause. And kill.
The President has been strangly quiet about this. The reasons for that I'll let you assume for yourselves. The one question that can be asked here is....are there people in the United States, right now, who wish to conduct war on Mexico?
Man charged with threatening to kill senator David M. Herszenhorn, New York Times
Wednesday, April 7, 2010
Federal agents on Tuesday arrested and charged a man with threatening to kill Washington Sen. Patty Murray because he was angry about her vote in favor of the major health care legislation.
According to a criminal complaint, Charles A. Wilson, 64, of Selah, Wash., made threatening phone calls to Murray's office in Seattle from March 22, the day after Congress approved the health care law, to April 4. One recorded message said, "I want to kill you."
Wilson was charged with one count of threatening a federal official, which is punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
Murray is the fourth-ranking Democrat in the Senate and the highest-ranking woman in the majority leadership. Several lawmakers reported threats and vandalism after the bill passed.
"I hope you realize there's a target on your back now," Wilson said in a voice mail message on March 22, according to the complaint. "There are many people out there that want you dead." Another message said: "Kill the bill. Kill the senator, too."
The calls were made from a blocked telephone number, but officials said they obtained records showing the calls came from Wilson's home in Selah, about 110 miles southeast of Seattle.
In the complaint, Carolyn W. Woodbury, a special agent of the FBI, said harassing phone calls had been made to Murray's office over several months, but staff members had said the messages, often laced with expletives, had turned threatening.
Special Agent Frederick Gutt, a spokesman for the FBI in Seattle, said Wilson did not appear to have a criminal record and seemed to have acted on his own.
As this continues, one has to realize that this is more than a bunch of yahoos reacting to right-wing bloviators on Fox News. These people had declared war on what this country has become long before Rupert Murdoch ever set foot in this country.
This is why the day that Timothy McVeigh drove a fertilizer-filled truck into a goverment building and destroyed it is so significant. It was the opening shot in the war which mostly white, education and finacially challenged "patriots" hope will "return the country to them." A country where anyone who skin is darker than theirs would be a third-class citizen. Lesbians would only be good for driving UPS trucks, gay men would only do interior decorationg, blacks and Latinos would do our heavy work...all without complaint...and at the end of the day, say "yessim," and quietly dissapear into the woodwork. Where sex does not exist, and the pnly faith would be that based on a bizarre interpretation of the Holy Bible that seemed less like the Sermon on the Mount, and more like "Clash Of The Titans." In 3-D.
Until we realize that these people are not the creations of Fox News or large corporations, that the reason they are massing is that their worst fear has been realized....a non-submissive Black President....until we realize that, we will not be able to stop them.
And for the sake of our union, they must be stopped.
