C.S. Lewis Was Right: It is happening here (Full Article)

And Bill-O says that Beck is "everyman." God, if that's true, here comes (un)civil war II! It's just this kind of rabble-rousing, full of lies and spin, that started the last one. 

These Tea-baggers, birthers and the like are truly scary people mainly because they are scared and aroused by misinformation and out-right disinformation. Does Beck really believe all that he spews? If so, he needs help. if not, he should be fired with prejudice. 

Glenn Beck's Message: It IS Happening Here

David Sirota

Let's pause and give thanks to Glenn Beck. No, seriously - as my newspaper column out today argues, that's what he's due.
We owe this talk-show-host-turned-political-leader gratitude for using his televised keynote address to the Conservative Political Action Conference to so frankly outline what the conservative movement has become - and why it repulses so many Americans.

Coming days after an anti-tax terrorist kamikaze attacked a government facility in Texas, and following Republicans like Sen. Scott Brown and Rep. Steve King expressing sympathy for that terrorist's grievances, Beck's homily stands as the moment's most forthright manifesto on the right's authoritarian objectives.
