It's important to know how they're lying about YOU!
Edited on Wed Oct-19-11 10:33 PM by CoffeeCat
My stomach aches right now. I just listened to Glenn Beck's radio program and
I also found a Glenn Beck tv clip that communicates what he is saying on his radio program.

It's easy to dismiss Glenn Beck as a crazy madman who disseminates outrageous lies.

However, these memes are being blared on all right-wing radio programs. There is a highly organized effort--by
right-wing radio--to perpetuate these lies and take down OWS by destroying its reputation. ALL right-wing radio
is in sync right now--trying to take down OWS with attacks. This is being done at the behest of the
neocons and corporatists who give Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh and the rest of the radio blowhards--their daily
talking points.

I'm posting the Glenn Beck tv clip because it includes several hateful lies that the entire right-wing
is attempting to spread about OWS. http://web.gbtv.com/media/video.jsp?content_id=19921203&topic_id=&tcid=vpp_copy_19921203&v=3

I know it's hard to stomach this stuff. And I know no one here takes seriously the rantings of Glenn Beck.

But the sad truth is--many people do take him seriously. We must know the lies they are saying
so we can discuss them rationally and debunk them with the truth.

These horrible, baseless memes are on the video with these memes being spread--

1.) OWS is anti-Semitic, and anti-Israel and OWS is a "mob" full of "Jew haters"

2.) OWS is a Fascist movement.

3.) OWS has been started, funded and perpetuated by the Obama Administration to distract people from the bad economy.
OWS represents Obama and is all about Obama.

4.) OWS is part of the "left" that also supports "Islamofascists" and "Hammas"

Disgusting, right?

I think it's important to understand what your enemies are saying about you. We can't allow these attacks to
stand. We must fight against this nonsense. You can't ignore it. Look what happened to John Kerry when he
dismissed outright the Swiftboat attacks. Just because the lies are outrageous and have no basis in reality--don't
ever underestimate these neocon/corporatist efforts to destroy reputations with lies.

All they have to do is repeat the lies over and over and over--through talk radio--and suddenly--the memes are
spread--like the Ebola virus.

If you see this garbage online---in comment sections of articles, on Facebook posts, on Twitter--on You Tube--please
don't ignore them. Snuff them out with kindness and truth. Because they are dangerous and they are being spread
by the very 1 percent that we are fighting.

It's well known that right-wing radio is a tool of the neocons and corporatists and the politicians who support them.

Don't allow this garbage to go unanswered!!

1. I agree.
We can't just stay in our little bubble congratulating each other. We all have to speak up.

2. We can no longer say...It's just Glenn Beck!
Edited on Wed Oct-19-11 10:47 PM by CoffeeCat
We know that Beck is a crazy, lying fool. However, he has tapped into the
ignorance and fear of people who don't know any better. These people do
vote--and they can affect lives.

We can't dismiss it any longer. It's not harmless. We have to fight these
lies whenever we see them.

I am so proud of OWS and how far the movement has come, thus far. I don't want
to see it taken down by sick lies--and by a clown like Glenn Beck.

The good news with respect to this problem--is that Beck, Limbaugh and the rest of
right-wing radio is at full tilt--in attack mode against OWS--lying their butts off.

They're afraid. Their lies and their fear mongering are obviously part of a plan that
was hatched in a board room. All of right-wing radio is doing this in concert! That's
not a coincidence. They are AFRAID of OWS. They know it's going mainstream.

That's an incredible threat to the 1 percent.

Please remember that Glenn Beck has ties to the Koch Brothers. Right-wing radio
disseminates lies and propaganda FOR the corrupt corporations and politicians. The
listeners are merely the sheep that they're playing to. Useful idiots.

Make no mistake--they are serious about taking OWS down--and this is their latest ploy.

It's not just a few radio clowns having a good time.

3. Glenn Beck at Koch Brothers meeting...
Beck does the bidding of the top 1 percent--including the Koch Brothers, Wall Street and other nefarious
criminals who are taking down this country. These sociopaths are playing for keeps and we must fight
against their lies!

BREAKING: Shortly after secret meeting with Koch network, Beck cited Charles Koch on-air

"As reported by the Times, the "Koch network meets twice a year to plan and expand its efforts." Their most recent meeting took place in Aspen, Colorado, in June of this year to strategize about the upcoming elections, and featured none other than Fox News' own Glenn Beck, who gave a talk about whether America is on the "Road to Serfdom."

The Aspen meeting took place the weekend of June 26-27. On Tuesday, June 29, Beck attacked Al Gore and his film An Inconvenient Truth on his Fox News program. In the middle of his screed about climate science and GDP, Beck said: "I want to thank Charles Koch for this information."

4. To DISTRACT from the bad economy?
Hell, they've been rubbing everybody's noses in the bad economy for the last month!

I don't know who is going to buy that particular lie except maybe people who are so abysmally stupid that they think Beck knows what he's talking about.
