Glenn Beck’s Shadow Cabinet

Get educated about ‘community organizers’ WOOOO!Really?

This man is scary as hell. Yes, he’s a joke to most of us, but his followers take him deadly seriously.At that same rally, he also spoke about the (new, revised) history of the Statue of Liberty….

@Ceu: Would that be the history where Benjamin Franklin and Abraham Lincoln stole it from the French with their pirate ship?

(snort) That would have been more interesting, at least, Myst.No, it’s the one where the French were jealous of the Americans & wanted some of what we had while basically flipping off “old world Europe”.

I don’t care what people say, but this guy knows exactly what he is doing by ‘shit stirring’ and is a dangerous American.Beck will be the first one, after something horrific happens, to be ‘crying’, and apologising after the fact, that he was only joking and didn’t mean what he was doing…after all he is an entertainer, that type of rhetoric.Get this man off his platform. It is time. Enough is enough!

I’m reminded, every time I see his fat little face, of the man named David C. Stephenson. Check him out on Wikipedia.

I’ve tried to find out if Beck is a direct relative of Union thug pro-business boss Dave Beck who controlled the ports in Washington State.Might be worth a deeper look – I’ve tried thru google but probably local records/papers would give more w/microfiche…

How can a man who doesn’t follow any ethical guidelines teach our kids about ethics? His followers believe is a man “redeemed” (thru his conversion to Mormonism, his getting sober, etc). But ethics isn’t limited to individual behavior only in one’s private life.Beck proves every day, multiple times a day that he doesn’t know and doesn’t care about the commonly accepted ethical rules “respect for persons” (or autonomy) and “Do no harm” (or beneficence). He’s admitted his primary motivation is entertainment and the money it generates. And he generates that attention with phony calls for Justice, the third ethical principle. A man with only one “leg” to stand on will surely fall in the end. We need to keep pushing back with the facts and he will topple.

By “I’m a self educated guy,” he means “I did poorly in high school and never graduated from college.”

“I’m assembling a team of experts in each of the following fields to advise me in fields such as finance, healthcare, foreign policy…..”Sooo….you’re implicitly admitting that you don’t know shit about shit when it comes to….well, anything….thus the need for advisers. Soooooooo why have you been blathering on about these very same topics for the past few years? Out of which orifice have you been talking?…Adding: What is it exactly that makes Thomas Jefferson morally superior to Che in teabagger minds? Jefferson did some great things for this Country, no doubt, but he also1) Had slaves2) Banged them3) Wasn’t a big fan of “intellectual women”4) Came up with the “Indian Removal Plan.”etc.Either way, it’s weird to see the teabaggers trying so hard to identify themselves with this particular founding father. I guess it’s because he was big on state’s rights and opposed judicial review. Buuuuut he also wrote his own version of the Bible where he took out a bunch of the mythology and the magic tricks, and was as anti-corporation as one could get. Those probably wouldn’t sit too well with Glenn Beck’s audience…

First he said it was a Saturday night dinner, then it was a Friday night dinner.Then, he first said that he was assembling teams of two experts in each field. About 20 seconds later he says that he meets with the 3 experts from each field.He can’t even get his own facts straigt. I only listened to it once, but I saw many inconsistencies and I bet the people there are so enthralled with “their leader” that they aren’t even really listening.
