Bette Midler Warns Glenn Beck Could Set Off a Rwanda-Like Civil War in U.S.

It's just what the primetime cable news lineup needed - another hour-long program tilted toward left-of-center politics with character assassination on conservatives.

CNN Headline News debuted its "The Joy Behar Show" on Sept. 29, which included appearances by lefty comedian Jeanane Garofalo, CNN's Jack Cafferty and actress Bette Midler. Garofalo doubled down on her low regard for conservative 9/12 and tea party protesters, labeling them as racists. Cafferty went after President Barack Obama for his disregard of the carbon footprint his lobbying efforts in Copenhagen for Chicago to host the 2016 Summer Olympics.

However, actress-turned-Vegas entertainer Bette Midler went straight after former CNN Headline News host Glenn Beck. She was prodded by host Joy Behar, who mentioned Beck as someone who is encouraging a breakdown in so-called "political discourse."

Just heard the audio on Beck’s show.

Liberalism really is an infantile mental disorder.

Ignorant liberals impose a significant cost on all of us. Stop them!

I have been wondering when this incredibly intelligent, highly educated, world-class intellectual would speak out! It’s about time! Whew! Now I know what to think about all this!

Why are those employed by an industry universally known for its drug and alcohol abuse constantly quoted as though they have a monopoly on wisdom and logic?

I know this is rhetorical but think we should start asking it just to give young people something to think about - some of them may actually do that - think I mean.

There are so many potential replies to her thoughtless and ignorant statement, I can’t decide which one to touch upon.

I would love for these CLOWNS to discuss thuggism, acorn and child prostitution! (I just covered 3 topics w/1statement) they don’t have the intelligence to discuss any of it, so they resort to name calling and slander. They are mindless propagandists who have no credibility! Frankly I don’t give a hoot what they say...but would love to see them be forced to address the true issues. As it looks, “they aint goin there”.

Whaddya bet Bette has never watched Glenn Beck? Like most entertainers the only thing Midler probably watches closely is her bank account and her dope supply.

He doesn't think the Tea Partiers represented a cross section of America!!!....

Well, they don't.

Rabid liberal moonbats, parasitic no-loads, and frothing at the mouth Obamites are seriously underrepresented at Tea Parties...and when you consider DuhWon got a significant fraction of the vote, probably close to 45%, not counting the dirtnappers, illegals, and fictitious voters, that would mean that a significant slackjawed proportion of the population is not represented.

Actually, when she had the nerve to talk about “acting civilized”...’For the Boys’ and her guest appearance on ‘The Nanny’ came to mind...She had the nerve to think that she and those like her are anything other than degenerates?

The understudy replaces Bette in Rochelle, Rochelle

Gennice: . . . Thank you. (hugs Jerry and George)

Jerry: Well we…

Gennice: No, please. This is the first time in my life (sobs) that anyone has ever done anything like this for me. I've always had to struggle so hard for everything I ever got. (sobbing) and I know this is going to be my big break. (sobbing)

It is a revolution that is forcing America into becoming a communist country? The people are SCREAMING NO!!! There has NEVER been a communist takeover without bloodshed. This has nothing to do with Glenn Beck...he’s merely voicing what the people are feeling.

I watched some of this really late last night and she said she believed Levi Johnston about Palin and that she has never fished in her life nor hunted.

What a complete tool this woman is.
