In the book Tears of a Clown: Glenn Beck and the Tea Bagging of America, Milbank says that line is a veiled reference to an obscure Mormon prophecy that Latter-day Saints will rescue the country from certain doom. It's known as the White Horse Prophecy.
Barlow, the Utah State professor, agrees that Beck's use of "hanging by a thread" is likely not coincidental.
But is he trying to deliver a secret coded message to his followers that an uprising is nigh?
Barlow says Beck is making conservative arguments by "drawing on this element that runs through Mormon consciousness."

First the insanity of Charging the Chamber of Commerce of being a Chinese front organization. Now, lets insinuate Glenn Beck is heading a secret Mormon conspiracy.

NPR’s “reading between the coded lines” is also known as fabricating lies...which runs right in line with their “god”...Obama.

Well, I for one will stay out of Utah for fear of some Mormon walking down the street with a suicide belt on.
Wasn’t it Mormons who knocked down the Twin Towers & the Pentagon?
How fortunate that the left is on to the Mormofascist threat.

What hogwash. Read the prophetic words—they say nothing like this. The Mormon savor will be elected to office in a legal way. No uprisings.

If the Mormons save us from this tyrant than I have to say, God Bless the Mormons.
If anyone one can save us from this tyrant, I ask, where do I go and what do I do to help?
We can all talk about how cool the prophecy thingy was after once the tyrant is gone. Until then, its just another thing somebody said.

One might as well hear/read what the other side is saying, one needs to know one’s enemies.

Do you mean inserting your own opinion rather than his? That is okay, everybody is different and has differing ideas. You, do you have any advice for us?
