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."

Sounds like a threat.

Where are the warnings that Obama should be a President of all of the people and stop pursuing Communist goals?

You’re close to being right.

What the left is looking for is an excuse to use the force of GOVERNMENT to punish, incarcerate, and exterminate their ideological opponents.

Southerners would call that "hit dog hollers".....

When liberal Hollywood disagrees with conservatives, its always the same script lines:

1) Hate speech
2) Racism
3) Right-wing nut jobs
4) Someone on FOX’s fault
5) Christian intolerance
6) Ignorant Gun toting rednecks
7) Sarah Palin is dumb
8) Republicans are greedy
9) Exploitative capitalists

Hollywood,along with Ms Midler , have been using the same excuses almost as much as they have been using the same old plots lines in their celebrated cinema releases.

Hollywood’s revenue is falling at the same pace as their insanity increases.

Hollywood use to be the ‘beauty’ of the beast of liberalism, but NO more. Ugly ugly on weathered old fence posts.

I guess Bette has finally realized that we have become a tribal society - guess that E Pluris Unun thing is old hat. There once was a great country that strived to treat all equally, then they decided that the state should discriminate among its peoples, choosing to treat each group differently according to their need.

Yeah, it will be the RESISTANCE that starts this war. Couldn’t be the fault of the Leftists pushing the country somewhere it doesn’t want to be. Couldn’t be let-them-eat-cake arrogance on the part of a narcissistic, unskilled leader. Couldn’t be the betrayal of a large mass of America’s values.

Nope. Has to be those wild-eyed Righties. You know them ... Always stirrin’ sumthin’ up.

This is what happens when you have people who know nothing about anything given a platform voice their views. You might as well allow a 15 year old downs syndrome kid get on the air and give us his opinion about quantum mechanics.

Compare the level of discourse (facts/logic/ etc.) on this show to any of the fox shows. Hell, I’d even rather be entertained by Olbermann’s lies.

If there is a “Rawanda-like civil war” in the US what are the lefty going to fight with? Last I checked it’s all of the conservatives buying guns. I guess the lefties can throw starbucks coffee and scones at us.

I guess she wants to keep the shenanigans in DC secret. What kind of American does not want corruption in DC outed?
