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."

Bette Midler was Joy Baharr's big "get" for her opening show? HAR HAR HAR!

Baharr is so unfunny, she's going to be gone in less than 90 days. Her ratings will set a new record for low.

The Irony is, Glenn Beck was on HLN last year, in this slot pulling in huge ratings, before leaving for Fox.

Seems to me that Alan Keyes was warning about Rawanda as far back as the days when he was a UN ambassador. The UN wasn’t interested.

In the words of Bugs Bunny, what a Maroon.....

Obviously she does not watch, or listen to his: pleas for civility, MLK/Gandhi style protest, and redressing our Government via our voice. and to find that voice.

Unfortunately, the entertainment industry has become a magnet for those who have never studied; small business, accounting, science, math, our Founding Fathers & American History, and are completely devoid of any critical thinking skills.

Joy Behar, who mentioned Beck as someone who is encouraging a breakdown in so-called "political discourse."

Oh my, oh dear me...Beck is asking political questions be answered! He is asking questions we can't answer or can't be answered! And...how dare he question the President?

Indeed. I guess she thinks Black tribesmen in our central cities will step up their killing of each other. Looks like they already started in Chicago the other day... Glenn Beck’s fault, obviously.

I am bummed. First I had to break all my Barbara Streisand albums and now Bette. Why do they have to open their mouths - why couldn’t she just keep her opinions to her cocktail party circuit?

Next Midler will want to ban books and call for a Night of Broken Glass if people don’t support national socialism.

Glenn Beck is a threat to society but this is okay

Garofalo doubled down on her low regard for conservative 9/12 and tea party protesters, labeling them as racists.

Doesn’t she have anything better to do? She could join the other Hollywood filth and defend the child rapist - - the cause du jour...
