Actually, Beck is worse than a clown. He's more like a terrorist who believes he has discovered the One True Faith, and condemns everyone else as a heretic. And that makes him something else as well -- a traitor to the American values he professes so loudly to defend.

This is chilling because it gives a clear rational for arresting Beck and his supporters. I expect to hear a lot more of this in coming weeks.

If a lunatic does "go McVeigh", the Democrats fondest wish will come true.

I fully expect something to happen before fall. Memories of the Reichstag fire are not strong in the voting public. Socialism is no longer a bad word. Fifty three percent of the voters wanted Obama.

Now I know why they call her “Cokie” ...

She writes about a recent panel discussion that Steve was participating in during which "a beefy guy" stood up and claimed health reform was akin to fascism. Roberts writes, "We don't know what the beefy guy reads or to whom he listens, but we would bet he's a disciple of Glenn Beck."

My question for mindless little Cokie Roberts: "if you don't call it fascism when the national government takes over the big banks, the big manufacturers including two of three car companies, and all of health care, what do you call that?" Personally, I'm okay with calling it socialism. If she wants to debate where this falls on the spectrum between national socialism and soviet socialism, I can discuss that, but it has nothing to do with capitalism, freedom, democracy, or anything else that is supposed to be protected by our Constitution.

I remember the good ol’ days when Cokie, Sam Donaldson and George Will did their weekly news analysis, and Cokie was a lightweight then. That must have been back in the 70s, before senility set in . While she makes utterly stupid statements about Beck, Olberman and Matthews are her comrades. Time to retire.

Is she parroting someone else’s opinion, or has she ever actually ever watched his show?

Well by all means Cokie, please be my guest and call the FBI to report your evidence that Glenn Beck is a terrorist... Or maybe what you’re saying isn’t true, and you’re just a blowhard communist making baseless accusations.

“Cokie” was appointed by Bush I to an advisory post:

More clever banter from Cokie and the cocktail party crowd.

I’m glad to know about this. It’s important to know what the liberal media is actually thinking. I have democrat friends who think the same.
