The Latest Glenn Beck Conspiracy

Beck thinks the president is going to seize the Gulf Coast and turn it into a tribal socialist empire:

Oliver Willis debunks all of this nonsense. It bears repeating that Glenn Beck's entire schtick is predicated upon deliberately misunderstanding very basic facts. Like the difference between an executive order and a presidential memorandum. Or like the difference between the government facilitating the rebuilding of a region following a disaster and the government seizing that area and turning it into the Soviet Union.

And I assure you, if the president didn't help to clean up the Gulf Coast, Beck, Palin and the others would be shrieking about how he should be.
