Your Moment Of Glenn: Dems Will Likely Cheat To Get A Coakley Win

video
» 17 comments

After two weeks of more or less ignoring the news of the day, Glenn Beck has jumped (with a chalk board vengeance) into the headline-making special Senate race in Massachusetts between Martha Coakely and Scott Brown. Beck is comparing tomorrow’s vote, which by all accounts is going to be a close one, to that of Bush v. Gore.

“Oh, you can imagine how ugly this thing will get if oh God help us all if it’s too close to call,” says Beck, by which he means he fears another ‘hanging chad’ debacle in Mass. because even though the Dems may have botched the recount in 2000, they have learned a thing or two since then: “They were so incompetent they didn’t know how to cheat, but don’t worry they’ve gotten good at it now.” According to Beck, even though “regular” Dems and Republicans don’t steal elections, Progressives do! “It’s practically a bylaw in any of their manifestos.” Beck’s examples include MSNBC’s Ed Schultz (for this remark) and Chris Matthews‘ “good old days” remark to Chuck Todd (presumably these are not the same good old days Beck frequently refers to).

    He’s right.

  • Fidoohki

    It can be expected. IF the left is to be believed this is the end times of Brown wins. So expecting the left to
    subjourn the electoral process to get coaxley in is a given. Since the left is pretty much in control anyway
    it should be easy.. provided Mass. voters don’t rebel and start tearing the place apart. This could get
    ugly…

  • Ted

    Of course he’s right timzank, but he’s also un-right by not suggesting that if Brown wins it was because of his Cosmo spread. I’m just saying…I mean sayin.

    So is he the bigger loon for suspecting it could happen, or Ed Shultz for supporting it should happen?

  • timzank

    The fact that Democrats cheat in elections isn’t even news anymore. What’s news now (as pointed out on Becks program) is how brazen they are about it. They don’t even try to be sly about it anymore. Massachusetts was all about “crony” politics for decades. They bought and paid for their politicians quietly though. Now even THEY are aghast at buses full of thugs descending on their state with “paid” volunteers. I don’t think New Englanders particularly like loud mouthed megaphone wielding thugs in matching t-shirts running up and down their streets intimidating people.

    What plays in Chi-town doesn’t necessarily play out east.

    If Brown wins in MA as a republican, then many more politicians will be doing Cosmo like spreads.

    The Latest set of MA polls:

    Latest numbers multiple polls.

    Thank God that there are not too many like Shultz or Matthews, but it only takes a few.

  • TfT

    All you have to do is look at Ed Schultz who is encouraging the cheating. Beck is right…let’s just hope Brown is lawyered up enough to fight off the cheaters.

    Do you realize how many cases of hysterical blindness would occur if that happened?:P

    Actually you may be more right than you know. It isn’t the only reason but its hard to tag him
    with the ‘Ultra evangelical conservative’ label if he posed nude and hasn’t regreted it and as far
    as I know, he hasn’t. ((I do admit my knowledge of Brown is limited.))

  • WaterLoo

    Chris Matthews and Ed Schultz would NEVER do such a thing!!! Chris Matthews and Ed Schultz are completely rational and legitimate people. They are victims I tell you…VICTIMS!!! It’s NOT fair!!! What say we boycott the man leading this terrible SMEAR???

  • bradstyris

    I agree. I’ll be disappointed, as I’m sure we all will. But since this was such a “locked up” state, for Brown to have done as well in the polls, for the Dems to have to spend tons of money at the last minute, for all the Depends undergarments that the Dems are tearing through at an outrageous speed, we still have sent a message that can’t be ignored.The voter registration list is carefully built and maintained to ensure that the person can only vote in one location. Identification of that individual becomes critical, and the signatures are maintained so that records can be kept of who actually voted.

    Likely?

    How about definitely.

    Just remember the fable of the turtle and the scorpion.

    I was going to post something about the misleading headline, then I who wrote this and thought… why bother.
