Here is audio of Glenn Beck today responding to Bette Midler's attack on him yesterday, where she said that he is "terrifying," and that Beck could spark a "civil war" in America like what happened in Rwanda.
Beck plays the clip and then responds by hammering her for displaying the "progressive movement's" disdain for anyone who disagrees with their worldview.
Beck said it is Midler's "progressive" kind of thinking that has led to genocide all over the world.
He also said liberals are trying to "whip up their base" by constantly saying conservatives want to "kill people."

If the “rich” white landowners in Zim had gone to war against Mugabe and ran him out of the country instead of letting him take and “redistribute” their land and wealth there’d be a lot fewer hungry people there right now.
Thanks! But, actually, she’s both!!
She’s stupid, too!!!
Yes, our founders took part in an armed struggle to create the nation. And they created a governing system where designed to prevent war if you needed to change government. They knew the problems inherent in the balance of power between the government and the governed, and they attempted to solve that in a non-violent way.
When they had a chance to create their own government, they debated. They didn’t fight duels or have knife fights to decide points of governance, statement and civil rights. They didn’t have a shootout over the 3/5ths rule.
They talked. They voted. They had a set of rules to govern their constitutional convention, and they followed them.
They set an example for us, and they enshrined that system in their nation’s Constitution.
They left violence behind and founded a nation on laws and following those laws, and that is why I propose we fight to change our government through elections, lobbying our reps, marching, writing, speaking in public, petitioning, and seeking amendments. They gave us these tools.
They didn’t include a section in the Constitution on the “right” way for citizens to use violence or lawbreaking to settle their disputes.
That’s all.
