Is Glenn Beck the Next Joe McCarthy?

[Rohirrim]

Now that he has his first scalp with this Van Jones fellow, have Fox and Beck found the formula for success? They've been attacking Obama relentlessly, but now they see that if they take all their fear mongering cannons and aim them at one target, they can blow up the Obama administration one piece at a time. As Joe McCarthy proved, terror works. You just have to manipulate it in such a way that your targets start turning on each other. That doesn't sound too hard. Who will be the next target?

Tune in this week for the exciting conclusion. ;D

[barryr]

More mental deformities coming out by liberals. Jones is a lousy SOB and liberals don't like it that conservative media exposed the truth about this guy, while their lefty media decided to keep the stories quiet. No wonder Obama and the like want to rid of conservative media and have controls over the Internet since can't hide what they're doing so well. Oh yeah, up yours liberals, this is just the beginning.

[Bronx33]

Iam all for exposing more radical communists.

Dear idiot,

Van Jones' own words are what was problematic, and the fact that this admin did not care that he was a radical Communist -- its that simple.

Your lame connection to McCarthy would be more applicable to the Czar over the FCC

[barryr]

Not to mention the rewriting of history. The left pretends to this day that there were no communists found in our government, which the sane know there was quite a few. Liberals have troubles identifying the concept of fact and opinion.

Jones even wrote some rap song in 2003 using anti-american slogans, yet you didn't see the lefty media reporting any of that either. Typical fashion, pretend it didn't happen if it doesn't fit the agenda.

[W*GS]

Beck is a class-A ****wad.

LOL this is the ass clown they defend ..........It is the 1:40 mark ..Beck is such an Idiot

Sure it works. Just look at this idiocy:

Beck would like to be the next McCarthy...whether he achieves his goal or not is doubtful. People were easier to manipulate in the '50's...at least I think they were. Looking at this place it makes me wonder.

Jones is a capitalist. His choice of politics in Yale Law school at age 26 was defined by the fact that he was a black nationalist driven to seek an activists agenda popular with students in that movement.

Out of curiosity...do you even know what I just said?
EDIT: I intended to say Jones is a capitalist.

[Bob]

Beck is a class-A ****wad.

So what if true...he has only shown folks the actual words of various radicals working for Obama. If I was a political tactician I would go go after the messenger as well, but the facts stand and this admin have not been able to address -- as they are true -- that is why Van Jones is gone. The president has indeed appointed several folks to leadership positions with very radical stances, as you are a Libertarian (from what I recall) the means proposed by some Czars to affect change do over-step, and shoudl be a concern to left and right. The level of means employed to create change now will be inherited by the next admin -- you dont want Sarah with these powers do you? :crazy:

The mainstream leftists at ABC, CBS, and NBC sure arent doing any research on these people. This clown show of an administration just keeps sending in the clowns. And then the apologists just expect everyone to ignore the fact that Obama is appointing a bunch of fringe lunatics to positions of power?

I think alot of the left looking the other way or not really giving a S*** about things like this are based on how Polarizing Bush was for 8 years. It's like "Holy crap Barry freed us! Go barry GO! " and they don't care, don't mind or don't know because they are still enjoying or trying to enjoy the Obama honeymoon that ended a while back

Is Glenn Beck the Next Joe McCarthy?

I don’t think the rightards are the innocent, frightened little citizens they pretend to be.

They know they are lying, just like their heroes, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck know they are lying.

They have adopted an ideology and they are clinging to it - regardless of the consequences for other Americans (or the world, for that matter.)

Unfortunately Glenn is fulfilling a position that use to be covered by the "old main stream" news. So he isn't the next Joe McCarthy.

Imagine if a republican had tried to expand the executive branch the way Obama has done with all of these non-vetted czars, don't you think that there would be some type of news on this?

Tragically it took a Glenn Beck to shed some light on these guys and what they are doing, then the public did the vetting, a job the administration should have done.

Presidents have always hired multiple advisors and these people are not anything new. Just because the Rightards new fuhrer Glenn Beck has decided to suddenly adopt the term "czars" to describe them doesn't mean it's anything new. It's just more of the same fear mongering.

More petulance from the uncivilized, hardly-literate partisan hypocrite. Unashamed of the way that he holds a double standard. Unwavering in his pragmatists moral and ethical relativism.

Yup, I dislike Bill M, but he does seem consistant, and driven by "values." in the case of Bill and Beck -- they are sharing their opinions -- that's their job. In the case of the Old-government-directed media with Acorn, Czars, and healthcare they are loosing what little cred they have, as they barely have even reported on thses issues -- and are loosing viewership because folks know they cant even get the news, they get propaganda, or sexy stories that dazzle the eye, but signify nothing.

Do you actually watch the news, Bob? It just occurred to me I haven't watched a network news program in years.

The czar thing is quite interesting especially reading the Constitution Article II.
______________________
He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.
_______________________
The Senate should advise and consent the way I read it. Even vest appointment of such inferior officers as they think proper.

Right now there are a couple complaints, a perceived increase in executive power, interfering with congressional responsibilities, or weakening the authority of presidential cabinets.
Time will tell what kind of involvement these guys have in day to day matters.

Where did I call Glenn Beck mainstream? Wait, what is the definition of mainstream?

[Rohirrim]

"...but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments."

If Congress tried to vet every single presidential appointment, he'd never fill them all. Hell, there have been presidents who haven't been able to fill all those slots in their first term. I don't think Bush ever did fill all the federal bench spots, and he had eight years. It's amazing to me. One of the great abusers of presidential power in American history leaves office and the Republicans don't make a peep. Read about Cheney, Addison and Yu. These were guys who tried to install an imperial presidency. Where were the "tea baggers" then? The new guy from the other party comes in and hires somebody to oversee the WH go-carts and the Right screams, "Stalinism!!" Ha!

[Traveler]

Glenn Beck is an ass clown that is getting rich off fostering hate just like Limbo.

The party of hate is up to same same old tactics used on Clinton. Create whatever fires necessary to try and distract this administration from enacting it's agenda.

Nothing new here other than racial anomosity is more prominent.

I guess it is now "hate" to show what appointments of Obama have said, with actual clips...

And when loosing an argument (by those who want more government control) try to get the other guy to shutup by calling them a rascist.

No, providing actual evidence is fine. Encouraging the present environment is the problem. Beck said Obama was racist against white people.

Thus, stoking the flames of those have racial issues towards Obama to feel comfortable in publically expressing their deep-seeded dislike that our President is a man of color.

The only ones here playing the race card are Beck and those that follow him.

While I agree Beck does race baiting, both sides do it. Hell, Carter just said something about the disagreements with Obama are because of race.

Beck just has more bat-**** crazy followers than most everyone else. Some of the pictures by the protestors, or that guy on CNN who called Obama a Muslim Indonesian welfare thug (or something) is proof that there are a lot of his followers that ARE racist.

I'd put Beck's followers in the same category as Savage's, personally.
