Glenn Beck's "Useful Idiots"
March 01, 2011

Glenn Beck claims that protesters in the United States and in Egypt are being duped and "have no clue" that they are unwittingly advancing a coordinated plot by communists and Islamists to destroy Israel and "the Western way of life" and install a global caliphate or a new world order.

1. Oh, for a moment there, I thought he was talking about the morans

who went to his rally. :eyes:

[SammyWinstonJack]

15. He was and fortunately for beck, his useful idiots don't realize that.

:evilgrin:

2. If anyone is useful to the greedy corporate manipulators, it's Glenn Beckkk

Beck sounds more deranged by the day.

3. Said the useful idiot being used and played by Fox...

to spread their propaganda. Oh, to see ourselves as others see us. What a tool!!!!

[Blue Owl]

4. Denial isn't just a river in Egypt, Glenn

Last I checked, the protesters represented well over 60% of the people who want to preserve an American way of life, so shut the hell up, Glenn.

5. Great comment.

That is why you stand with concepts. And if someone agrees with same concept you support them.

His comment is a barb, it both tries to make people feel helpless, and stupid.


Does he also say how to avoid that trap by supporting the concepts, not some individual?

6. A Mormon that lies - frequently, on national media

I think Beck is a Mormon, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, Salt Lake City, Utah and elsewhere. They teach clean living. I wonder how they feel about a famous member being a frequent liar on national media. They have an ex-communication process. Perhaps lots of people should ask the Mormon church about their values.

7. This demented idiot

would be just as confident and convincing if he was wearing a hooded robe and stood tending a huge caldron of bubbling brew.

8. Please don't click on Beck clips..

viewer numbers are calculated as popluarity = $$$ for Beck's bank account and future contract negotiations. Likewise, all of the other evil reich wing cable monsters, which I won't bother naming because we all know who they are ..

I realize that viewing these clips generates the "outrage factor" but that rarely generates the kind of result oriented action required for real actual change. so i implore stop supporting these evil creeps vis a vis posting their evil clips..

just saying, do you really want to support these f**ktards?

9. Media Matters for America, ever heard of it?

This video was produced by Media Matters. Maybe instead of telling others what to do you should slow down and investigate what the hell you are on about.

[2banon]

12. Yes, I've known Media Matters for several years..

when they first launched. They do important work. If only...

clicking on these evil monsters vids ups their booty.. I thought we are in general agreement (here)that these asshats don't deserve a wooden nickle. Didn't think anyone at this site support the idea of making these creeps even more wealthy.

just sayin'...

[Charleston Chew]

14. weak spin

[2banon]

16. spin?

I'm advocating against giving these asshats more financial wealth vis a vis increase of viewer rates (by clicking on their vids).

10. I'm sure Glenn Beck (or his researcher) reads DU

because so many of his comments seem to be lifted straight from things we've said about freepers/teabaggers (but he then inserts "islamists/communists" instead of freepers/teabaggers).

Hey Glenn, you owe us beer and travel money*. Pay up!

:shrug:

(*With thanks to DUer RandomThoughts).

11. LOL Now he's stealing from Michael Savage!

Can't wait for the conservative movement to cannibalize itself.

[NuclearDem]

13. Well Glenn, you're right...you don't make your own decisions, and you ARE a moron
