Midler confirmed what one would probably expect - she's not a fan of Beck at all. "I don't think he's funny even a little bit," Midler said. "I've never had a laugh from Glenn Beck. In fact, I find him terrifying. I find him terrifying. He's like an old school demagogue, and it's really frightening." What did Midler compare Beck to? She likened the popular Fox News host to the instigators of the Rwandan civil war, which was the catalyst for the Rwandan genocide where an estimated 800,000 to 1 million lost their lives. "If you look around at the rest of the world and what this kind of behavior has done, like in Rwanda, where the demagogues got on the radio and fomented all that hate between the Tutsis and the Hutus and the devastation that happened from that, I mean, it's terrifying," Midler said. According to Midler, that's a possibility in the United States. "And that could happen, you know, you could turn on a dime," Midler warned. "That could happen here."

Got news for you Midler. Don't find Bette Midler funny. Never have, never will.

Funny, how that "Speak Truth to Power" has become so declass now, isn't it?

Kinda like the way The Homeless vanish off the street when the democrats hold office...

Gee, with all of the lib hand-wringing about assassinations and civil war, it almost seems like they are clamoring for it...

Let’s see. Was it conservative christians who caused that war?
Nah, they are missionaries. Must have been the Amish again.
Bette Midler.....the Alexis deTocqueville of Beverly Hills has spoken.

I think the idea that Americans oppose their communist agenda and might actually stop them, is scaring the sh*t out of them. Good, I want them to be afraid. They need to slow down, step back and take a look at wtf is going on.

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”.
