Beck Hates America, God Stays Out of The Argument

The weekend rally brought us a "new and reasonable" Glenn Beck. Be afraid.

It used to be the wingnuts' favorite trick during those dark days of the Bush misadministration: telling liberals that we hated America because we weren't exactly fond of the neocon junta who were running the country. But somehow, demagogues like Palin, Limbaugh and Beck can literally tear everything Obama does to shreds and not find themselves guilty of hating America. Somehow, they can demand we repeal or rewrite virtually everything in the Constitution this country was founded on and still not be considered anti-American. How the hell does this work again? Anyway...

! was disappointed that this weekend's Beck-apalooza seemed to pass fairly politely and boringly. More church picnic than Klan rally. And that sucks because it's harder to attack a dangerous lunatic when they're posing as a reasonable person. It's harder to make people who don't pay attention understand what an extremist Beck is when he's up there in reading glasses chatting cozily instead of flailing and yelling like a dimestore Mussolini. But, God knows, Beck needs to be attacked. Beck needs to be stopped. And I wouldn't stop far short of wishing he could more fully emulate his 'hero' MLK and get gunned down on a motel balcony for the good of society.

With elections approaching, this c*cksucker is probably the most dangerous influence on the lumpen proles who'll decide the future of our democracy based on the whims of their own hate and ignorance as validated by Glenn f*cking Beck. But I'm getting the uneasy feeling that he's starting to ooze into the mainstream by projecting himself as a newer, calmer and more reasonable a**hole. Scared yet? You should be.
