Glenn Beck calls Geert Wilders a fascist, endorses ban on his entering UK
Jihad Watch ^ | 9 March 10 | Robert Spencer

Posted on 03/09/2010 4:35:07 AM PST by LSUfan

What on earth has gotten into Beck? Is he getting his talking points from Ibrahim Hooper? As Pamela Geller says, "Why would he stigmatize Wilders this way? Wilders is the embodiment of what our founding fathers extolled. Individual rights. Freedom of speech. Not sharia law."

Beck should have more sense.

Ahh, but the Koolaid is so satisfying...

Putting aside increased Saudi control of Fox news, this is about Ideology. Kristol and Krauthammer are Neoconservatives wed to the idea of democratization and assimilation. If the problem is not a few crazy Islamists and enablers then the liberal and neoconservative visions or a middle east and Eurabia collapse. Personally, I think Wilders is wrong to call Islam Fascism. Communism is a better analogy: Orthodox Islam with their Dawa are mensheviks to the Jihadists playing Bolsheviks to mainstream Islam being the equivalent of Democratic Socialists. When Wilders calls the Koran fascism, he stabs neoconservatism in its heart.

Beck is all over the place. He loves immigration. A few weeks ago, Beck read approvingly Emma Lazarus’s poem, the New Colussus, which redefined the Statue of Liberty in terms of immigration. Far from seeing this as progressive or left-anarchist, Beck loved this idea. He is too ignorant to recognize his liberalism.

I liked Beck at first but think he is going over the edge....he may have some deep emotional issues that haunt him or something.

You’re almost correct.

Fascism has mostly been a phenomenon of the far left. Fascism means control (a fasces is an iron fence).

The far right is the final tilt from libertarian into anarchy.

"Hmmmm, sounds like another hit piece headline to undermine Beck"

Yea, hitting him with his own absurdity. It's just not fair...

good analogy

Fascism and Socialism are almost the same, the only distinction is the claim of nationalism

Soviets were nationalists, too but no one calls them Fascists

I guess so, at least according to Bill Kristol et al...
If this keeps up it may be time to do some Pshops of the Fox crew in full jilaba regalia!

Kristol called him a demagogue. Beck called him a fascist.

Kristol and Beck are both drowning in their own egos.

I do admire Kraut’s perseverance against his injuries, but I find his positions on most issues to be arrogant, elitist, and out of step with America’s Christian foundation.

"Beck has no coherent belief system that would give his ideas a sense of consistency."

Ding! We have a winner.

That is exactly the trouble with Beck.

WTF? Yeah, I know, he seems to have lost his mind. He was a good lad, but given his temperament, it was only a matter of time. :-)

Remember when he lost it with that pro-health-reform lady on the phone?

Glenn appears be making the mistake that fascist/Nazi = "far right." He should talk to his friend Johah Goldberg (Liberal Fascism) more often. Unless he's thinking about anarchists and libertarian fundamentalists, of course.

What's really funny is that sometimes, Glenn DOESN'T appear to make that mistake.

I noticed that too...I wonder what is up with Glenn?

I also thought it was strange that he would make (if only by implication) any negative comments about Geert since he and Geert are both "truthtellers" and play a similar role in their respective societies.

I just came across this thread today, so I thought I would add this about Geert Wilders, just for the record and in case anyone wanted to watch the videos.
