I was later told by a local observer that many of these vomitous, disgraceful notions were the fruit of Glenn Beck's fruitful imagination. "We are living Glenn Beck's fantasy life," said this audience member. The amazing thing remains not only the unwillingness of responsible Republicans--a term that is in danger of becoming an oxymoron--to call bull-- on this, but also the willingness of many prominent Republicans to join in the slinging of garbage. Michelle Cottle reports that there are Republican-sanctioned efforts afoot to have parents not send their children to school on September 8 because the President is scheduled to address the nation's school-children that day and they are afraid that he will fill their little heads with socialist propaganda. That is somewhere well beyond disgraceful.
Could I just say that the intensity of this getting pretty scary...and dangerous? We are heading toward a cliff and the usual brakes of civil discourse are not working. Indeed, the Republicans have the pedal to the metal--rushing us toward a tragedy far greater than the California health care forum finger-biting Karen describes below. I'm usually not one to panic or be overly worried about the state of our country--even when we do awful things like invade Iraq and torture people, we usually right our course before long--but I have a sinking feeling about where we're headed now. I hope I'm wrong.

Now, not even a year later, it's all turning to ****.
Ummm, someone tell him it was a “moveon” psycho that ate a mans finger.
“...and the usual brakes of civil discourse are not working.”
Well, gee-willikers! I wonder which party cut the brake lines, then?
Jerks.
Hey Clymers! It’s not the fact that Zero is addressing the yutes, it’s the Socialist Propaganda Lesson Plans that your minions designed to accompany the President’s address.
Different finger of speech.
“Ummm, someone tell him it was a “moveon” psycho that ate a mans finger.”
Must be that “violence” Van Jones was HOPING for.
He has the good sense to feel fear, to recognize the danger.
One can only wonder if he knows his name is on the list?
Google Bush and Nazi sometime Joe...
Their blood pressure is spraying out their collective ears, and I’m loving every second of it.
YES WE CAN-NIBALS.
;-)
THAT says it all!
There is a coordinated effort in the media to label Glenn Beck as dangerous and a threat because of what he is saying. How ironic that “journalists” are now trying to shut down free speech.
If something “happens” to Beck, all bets are off. Not a threat. Just a fact.
Who is this clown Joe Klein?
At least we agree on one thing: things are getting pretty scary, and we are rushing towards a cliff but--- we are concerned about totally different things:
The assault on freedom of speech.
Abuse of power under color of authority.
Government by non-elected hoods accountable to ????
Irresponsible spending several generations into the future.
And every Republican and/or conservative is deaf dumb and mute.
If nobody challenges any of these Constitutional violations, we will get fascism by default.
You’re right.
First of all, who in the hell is joe klein, but more important who cares...lol GO GLENN Steal on target, makes em rattled
Break his column down. What bothers him, terrifies him, is that the usual intimidation tactics they use aren’t working. Biting a man’s finger off won’t stop us. And since they have complete power, except on the Supreme Court which hasn’t been a factor currently, blaming everything on Republicans isn’t working. Actually it wouldn’t work even if they could blame them since we hate Republicans as well.
For people that worship People Power they sure are terrified when it’s directed at them.
