Glenn Beck Calls Thomas Paine the Glenn Beck of Revolutionary AmericaPosted on Feb 18, 2010
Based on this video, it seems Fox News viewers are so patriotic they don’t know anything about the origins of our country. During this little history lesson, Glenn Beck explains who Tom Paine was: “kind of the me. ...” In fairness, Beck made a disgusted face as he said it—the same one we were making.

Glenn Beck is a charlatan who even tells people to come out of socialist churches, as if Jesus practiced Conservatism. Jesus was a Socialist Liberal. Here is Michael Moore’s movie, “Capitalism: A Love Story”, which states pretty well that Jesus was not into conservatism. Without socialism the preachers and all the programs would starve as well as all cities, counties, states and the nation.
Socialism is the social cohesion that binds a group of people, a city, a county, a state and a nation together to provide benefit to all that are a part of the society of the group.
Genteel peasant Glenn Beck and his ilk are toadies who toady up to Rupert Murdoch for benefit and toot Rupert Murdoch’s Hitleresque conservatism of denigrating, accusing, denouncing, maligning, traducing, slurring, and smearing progressives, liberals, socialists, socialism, community, unions of the populace and the populace as a whole or in part in any which way he can for his pay.
Rupert Murdoch is using Hitler’s conservatism propaganda and sophism techniques to take over, not only the United States, but the entire world. Murdoch is old and when he dies, with the media all merged together, it will be relatively easy for a conservative leader in the News Corp. organization to take control of all media all over the world and continue denigrating, accusing, denouncing, maligning, traducing, slurring, and smearing progressives, liberals, socialists, socialism, community, unions of the populace and the populace as a whole or in part every which way they can until Jesus comes, which may end up being quite a while suffering conservatism’s oppression and tyranny.

Please do not be offended by what I am about to say but, You people need to actually read history and stop being so narrow minded. Socialism and communism does not work and harms everyone but, the elites, which YOU are not a part of, nor am I. The Gov’t doesnt have the money nor the human insight to be able to control a society with any intelligence or sympathy for the individual(which is exactly what we are, individuals).The common well being of a society cannot be forced to abide by laws promulgated by a socialistic/fasicistic or communistic tyrant! Whether you think hitler was a right wing nut or stalin was a left wing nut, doesnt really matter because either which way that line of thinking is irrational! This is America, not europe. Their left and right is different from ours. We are on a complete different track than they are. We need to stay off that track. Seriously, why do people from all corners of Earth flock here? They come here because we arent controlled by the gov’t!!! They come here for the HOPE of a better life, not the GUARRANTY of one!They’re supposed to protect us from foreign and domestic enemies, like socialists trying to destroy the living document we call The Constitution. We create are own destiny and all have an opportunity to the same thing. We grant ourselves our rights, not the gov’t. The gov’t works for us! They get their money form us! They are people just like you and me, no better or worse. Our private sector, in the U.S., is what makes the world go round! Our gov’t is trying to run all aspects of our lives, I think its safe to say that a large portion of our law makers believe they know whats better for us than we do. Its not up to them!!!! If johm doe makes a bad decision, then HOPEFULLY he learns, and if he doesnt, than he doesnt deserve the same as someone who hasnt made that mistake. We all have to make mistakes and fall down to be able stand back up! c’mon…....

Of course they pick what they want from our past then rework it then use it for their own purposes. They will use the tropes of our past to produce a new and dystopian (to us) future. One that Beck will strangely be at home even as it will be a theocratic corporate authoritarian state. Probably the Federalist Constitution but definitely no Anti-Federalist Bill of Rights will be retained. [The old CCCP had a very good Constitution that was only on paper, never enforced.]
Oh he and his allies know what they mean or else they couldn’t intelligently pervert them as they do. Don’t for a moment think that or they will fool you as you misunderestimate them.
As long as “Lonesome Roads Beck” does have credibility he could get away with much & still does. So you turn him off, I don’t because what he and all the other mouth pieces in the reich wing communications arena will be used against us. They are building up a false history that the more who accept it the more we can be out numbered. All part of the plot to set up parallel entities of schools and gov’t (through corporations) while they attack all gov’t as being “incompetent” in preparation for when it falls and they will come in to take over and to “save” us.
They have much in common with American Nazis, Neo-Confederates, fascists and authoritarians but the point it that this is made in America (USA) and what ever global aspirations they have this will be their base. (They failed in 1934, not punished, and have planned and first implemented their next coup starting in 1980.)
Read both Naomis, Klein & Wolf will help fill in the blanks, there are many others. Also look up ponerology-the study of evil in humankind.

The Tea party in the USA reminds me of the early stages of the Nazi party also, MarthaA. They are similar.

Rupert Murdoch is an Australian who lives in China and is controlling sophism and propaganda in the United States through the FOX Network with Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Bill OReilly, Sarah Palin and all the Conservative Right-Wing Churches that are joining the propaganda of the Republican Tea Party Movement.
Though Murdoch will deny it, the facts are that the Conservative EXTREMIST Right-Winger Rupert Murdoch is using sophism and propaganda to hopefully pull off the takeover of the Democratic Party by the Republican’s Tea Party through Glenn Beck and his other highly paid toadies working for him in his various media networks and the Congress. It is pretty plain. Republican Glenn Beck even states that he is leading a Revolution, dresses up like Hitler and even claims he is a revolutionary like Thomas Paine, but he is only an employee of Rupert Murdoch, who is the one behind the Republican Revolution to destroy liberals.
A Hitler Type Republican Revolution could only mean the take over of the most liberal party of the two parties in the United States, the Democratic Party, which is the exact same thing Hitler did to take over the liberal party that he subsequently changed to his Conservative, Right-Wing, authoritative, autocratic, EXTREMIST Nazi Party. In the same format as Hitler, Glenn Beck’s followers, the Republican Tea Baggers, have been set up with an actual political party, the Tea Party and if the Republicans accomplish their complete takeover of the Democratic Party, the United States will become the same as Nazi Germany, only Rupert Murdoch will be the Hitler, not Glenn Beck.
The populace thought that what Hitler was doing with his little political party wasn’t serious, but it was deadly serious, it was a plan, and the plan was carried out, as is the Rupert Murdoch Republican Tea Party Plan being carried out by Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Bill OReilly, Sarah Palin and the Conservative Right-Wing churches the exact same way.
Anything to circumvent Rupert Murdoch causing German history to be relived in the United States should be done. It would behoove everyone who isn’t gung ho conservative to do all possible to prevent Rupert Murdoch’s takeover of the United States through the Democratic Party and Glenn Beck’s Republican Revolution, the Tea Party, because it isn’t the Republicans Glenn Beck is running down, subverting and undermining, it is the Democratic Party’s Obama administration, that President Obama leads, the liberals and the socialists. Of course all gung ho Conservatives in the Democratic Party and the Republican Party will help him with the plan. This isn’t funny folks, unless one thinks Hitler’s reign of terror was funny, because people laughed at what Hitler was doing.
Rupert Murdoch’s Glenn Beck unlike democratic Thomas Paine, is obsessed with authoritative, autocratic Hitler, he even dresses up like Hitler and has propagandized his populace, conservative followers to rail against anything liberal following in Hitler’s footsteps, because that is how he gets paid.
Glenn Beck is nothing at all like Thomas Paine, Glenn Beck is a Rupert Murdoch toady that Rupert Murdoch has made the leader of the Republican Revolution against liberals in the United States to promote his master’s plans.

Last night was the first time I put on this idiot to see him in action. What a rube. After listening his drivel about Thomas Paine I turned him off. I have met people-hard core repukelicans who think this person(?) is some sort of a god and believe every word he says as truth. It is scary to see supposedly educated middle aged people swallow all the hype he spews forth and defend his hatred and stupidity with their lives. Have we really dumbed down the population that much?
The only thing I have seen Glenn Beck do that made any sense was when he barked like a dog, thanks to Keith Olbermans clip last night on Countdown. I have seen Glenn Beck pretend to pour gasoline-stage prop-on a person with the intention to light this person on fire. His show lack any creditability and incites those of lesser mentality and self control to go out and do harm to others who do not think like the sheeple of the Glenn Beck mindset.
He is a danger to all people who do not fall into this sect as they may be victims of his hatred he is paid to broadcast on a daily basis.

zeroinfinity,
Report thisThat is one of my favorite quotes of all time. “The Age of Reason” is a classic that Glen Beck would not have the intellect to grasp if he ever did try to read it, which is doubtful. So, Glen Beck, the deist? Or the dirty little atheist?

Thomas Paine would roll over in his grave if he knew the wimpy, crying and barking, corporate toady, propagandist, and sophist Glenn Beck was purporting to be like him.
Thomas Paine challenged the authority of the British, so perhaps Glenn Beck is being kept by his Australian boss, Republican Conservative Rupert Murdoch, who lives in China, to challenge the authority of the Obama administration; therefore, Beck is trying to do the Hitler thing to the Obama administration like Hitler did to the Weimar Republic of Germany for Rupert Murdoch. Beck is obsessed with Adolph Hitler and even dresses like Hitler.
If Beck had not Nazi propagandized a large following, he would be harmless, but he has a weekly show on the Republican’s Fox Network from which to spew his vitriol against the Obama administration; and don’t be naive, Nazi propaganda is dangerous to an unsuspecting public, because the public follows without even knowing why.

I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish church, by the Roman church, by the Greek church, by the Turkish church, by the Protestant church, nor by any church that I know of. My own mind is my own church.
All national institutions of churches, whether Jewish, Christian or Turkish, appear to me no other than human inventions, set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit.
- Thomas Paine
Care to still believe that Mr. Paine is like yourself, Glenn Beck. After all, you are the one who keeps assuming that the USA is a Christian nation, founded on Christian principles. In fact, another Founding Father you mentioned, Thomas Jefferson, wrote a book basically arguing for the de-mystification of Christ.
Let’s face it Glenn, the French Revolution kind of had some negative repercussions throughout continental Europe, not just France. There is no need to say how great the French Revolution was for France. That is, if you believe that it was overall better for the nation of France to go from Louis the XVI and Marie Antionette to an egotistical genocidal maniac Napoleon Bonaparte.

Intelligent people should not pay any attention to the ravings of idiots like beck, limbaugh, charles manson, etc. What they say should not be dignified with a response. I shouldn’t even know their names. I have never watched fox news - the only reason I have heard of these morons is that news sources I do have some respect for report on their drivel!
