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."
NPR has jumped the shark.
Only lefty dunces fear Mormons more than Muslims.
Give me a Mormon any day...honest, hard working, and believes in God.
Exceptions of course, Mitt Romney is a RINO which completely negates any honesty and integrity given him by his church.
May liberals be transported to the Muslim hives of history and be forced to live under Sharia law.
Go back and scroll through the posts on this site for the last hour or so, you’ll see what I mean.
First they change all of the rules around vampires, and now this!
There is a real conspiracy afoot. They have their puppet in the White House, and congress passes their laws without even reading them first.
“Milbank says . . .”
Who? And why should I care?
hanging by a thread? are they serious. That is so common.
what next? use of the decimal point is a Masonic conspiracy?
LOL!
Beck is overt in his Mormon theology, which he expresses very little. Most of the time, he keeps it somewhat generic. His recent discussions on Satan, however, have inevitably delved into exclusively Mormon belief.

Muslims hide rape and murder behind freedom of religion.
Liberals hide vicious slander and depraved lies behind freedom of speech.
BTW - the title is the entire point of the book. The idea is that the typical latte-sucking liberal zombie will see it in the new books section of Barnes and Noble or Borders, remember the nasty insult of the title to use for social aggression purposes, and move on. Antidepressents kill the concentration necessary to read an entire book, so the industry has defaulted to bumper-sticker titles attached to bulk buy-back contracts bailed out by tax writeoffs. Your tax dollars at work.
