Glenn Beck's fear of Obama: Seize power overnight

Will President Obama "seize power overnight" in a move to consolidate White House control of the U.S. government?

That's the fear of Fox News anchor Glenn Beck who discussed the issue at length today with another broadcasting powerhouse, radio's Rush Limbaugh.

"I fear this government, this administration has so much framework already prepared, that they will seize power overnight before anybody even gives it a second thought," Beck said.

His comment came as he was analyzing the changing nature of the media since Obama's election, citing the administration's close ties with the NBC network, owned by corporate giant General Electric:

If you watch what could only be called the administration's organ – anything involved with GE or NBC – you've got [GE CEO] Jeffrey Immelt on the board of the Federal Reserve, you have him in the Oval Office consulting not only on health care, but the financial situation, and they are an organ. If you watch MSNBC, I contend that you will see the future because they are laying the ground for a horrible event ... anything from the right, there's some awful event and I fear this government, this administration has so much framework already prepared, that they will seize power overnight before anybody even gives it a second thought.

Limbaugh responded, "I don't think they're going to be able to seize it overnight without anybody knowing about it."

It really is kind of like the QUIET BEFORE THE STORM.

I have been of the opinion that there will be no more federal elections in this country for some time now. They ain’t giving up power. It’s going to have to be taken from them.

"I fear this government, this administration has so much framework already prepared, that they will seize power overnight beifore anybody even gives it a second thought," Beck said.

That's retarded.

Even democrats are openly questioning him. Obamacare for instance.

I’d say it really is like Beck’s losing it, he’ll be out of a job if he keeps saying this kind of crazy crap. Notice Rush didn’t bite. Now would Obama like to sieze power????? Of course, but it cannot happen, at least not anytime soon.

[Talisker]

Take a valium, Glenn. It’s 60 million times more complicated than that.

[rsobin]

Hope your not correct. The first sign will be large scale power and communication blackouts.

When do the ratings for these news shows usually come out? I’m curious to see how much further through the roof Beck’s ratings have gone since he started this series this week. I’m so surprized at the sponsors who have pulled out. In our market, only the .coms, GM, and Ford have pretty much stayed with him.

IF they thought the elections would not even be held anymore they would get with the program.

"Where is the true outrage from anyone in the media?" asked Beck. "Why are these things not grabbing traction at this point?"

I wonder about this too. Why are they so silent about what is going on? The news reports do read/sound like propaganda. I figure those who decide what gets on the air or what gets printed, are totally in bed with them, or fear for their lives.

Honestly the way things are going if Beck and Limbaugh disappeared I would not be shocked.

The legacy of the founding fathers will not be denied AS LONG AS THERE ARE A FEW FREE STATES WILLING TO DO WHAT IT TAKES TO PRESERVE THE CONSTITUTION.

CIVIL WAR II WILL NOT BE ABOUT SLAVERY BUT ABOUT CAPITALISM AND THE CONSTITUTION VERSUS MARXISM AND THE COMMUNIST MANIFESTO.

Slow down Glenn.

If Obama want to seize power, overnight won’t do it. There will be a 100 million people like me ready to go to hell and back to stop him. And we’re armed.

Obama’s already going too fast for Americans.

Come on Glenn, you’re one of the good guys, but this is crazy talk.

[rbg81]

Seize power? He already has power.

[jersey117]

He’s already seized power.

"That crazy Chancellor Hitler? He's just President Hindenburg's puppet, he'll never amount to anything. You don't actually believe what he wrote in Mein Kampf do you?"

People tend to discount Beck et al as alarmists. However, he is only shedding light on associates with Obama and his advisors, who are almost uniformly of the radical revolutionary type--types who want this country as we know it to cease to exist. The MSM seem to think they will be immune to all this change.

Then there are things Obama has said that resonate--our Constitution is flawed; he will remake America into the kind of redistribution state it needs to be--and the most ominous--that he needs to build (or America needs) a homeland entity as strong and well armed as the military.That is the scariest thing he has said in view of his advisors like Van Jones, Emanuels, Sustein, the new FAA director, his science czar who wants (says we MUST) limit health care and births.

Question for logicians:

How could they orchestrate a confiscation of the firearms of the citizenry?

Would you local LEOs kick your door down and demand all that are in the registry?

[SandWMan]

The officeholders of the Presidency have been seizing power for many, many decades. Democrats AND REPUBLICANS.
