Glenn Beck Compares Obama And The Left To 1930s Nazi Appeasers

video
» 199 comments

You’ve probably heard at this point that Glenn Beck is on a bit of an Israel kick. That’s involved spending as much time as possible explaining to his viewers why they should care about the plight of our friends in the Middle East. One of the main ways he’s done that is by comparing the much touted “Arab Spring” occurring in the region to the rise of Adolf Hitler in the 1930s. Of course, if the governments springing up in countries like Egypt are the Nazis, what does that make people like our President who is giving a speech supporting the “Spring” tomorrow morning? Well, Beck made his former insinuations clear by comparing President Obama and the Left to American Nazi appeasers of the last century.

While Beck never says the dirty word “appease” during his nearly episode-length example of Godwin’s Law, he used a New York Times article from 1933 as his comparison. The article, about Hitler’s autobiography, mentioned the rampant anti-semitism in Germany but seems to make pains to point out all of the good things National Socialism seemed to be doing for the depressed Germany post-World War I. Beck wanted us to know if this sounded similar to anything.

“Let me ask you, if I asked the President or most people in this administration or Congress today on the Left what they see happening in Egypt, wouldn’t they say, ‘What’s happening in Egypt is great. Have you seen all the people? Okay, the Jew thing is bad, but have you seen all the happy people?’ That’s exactly what they’d say. It’s the same thing. Some of the happy people, you’ll remember, were raping Lara Logan from CBS News while screaming, ‘Jew! Jew! Jew!’ in that square on that day. Could we get any more comparisons? And do I need to explain any more why it is time to restore courage and take a stand? Enough is enough but, I’m telling you, the hatred of old will come back again. And are we going to repeat the same pattern because the world knew it. The Germans knew it. The world knew it. But they chose to ignore it.”

Then Beck went after the President and the First Lady saying they knew how our country got on this path. “The more this President does,” Beck said. “The more he looks like The New York Times of 1933 or, worse yet, Neville Chamberlain.”

    Dunno if Hussein is the Neville Chamberlain player today, or is playing the role of Hitler himself. He definitely sends messages to Muslim terrorists in not-so-subtle ways that he is a “friendly,” just as his fellow socialist Hitler did.

    Glenn Beck is a great American. He passionately loves this nation and is relentless in his pursuit of America’s salvation from the assaults from anti-American Democrats, and self-serving Republicans. Because he is sincere in his patriotism and humble in his service to God, Beck is and will always be targeted in every way imaginable by America’s enemies…………Democrats/Communists everywhere.

    Beck is retarded to call President Obama anything close to an appeaser – after all he is employing more drones, bombs, and pressure on Afghan/Pakistan (Al Queda Home Field) than Bushy-boy ever thought about.

    I wouldn’t say that 0bama weakness is being touted as a reason for it. What’s being said is that the “Arab Spring” isn’t some benevolent democracy movement that idealistic students will control. The warning is that the Islamists are primed to hijack the “spring” and turn the entire region into a hotbed of religious zealotry. The 0bamabots in gov’t and media refuse to recognize what’s actually happening

    Oh, here we go again. Nazi appeasers. Yeesh!

    Nobody lit a fire. Hamas, Hezbollah, Muslim Brotherhood and lots and lots of people in general simply hate the Jews. They didn’t need help with that. They have always hated us and most likely always will. The Nazis weren’t the first to try to wipe us out and most of the folks I know are pretty sure Hamas, et al won’t be the last.

    Obama’s encouragement and backing, before he backed away from that backing has forced Israel and the United States into the most perilous postion either has had to face in the past 60 years.

    Tomorrow he will deliver his ” Death To America, Death To Israel ” speech that could quite possibly trigger the start of ‘ World War Three ‘, yet you libs kneel before him as your false god and saviour, sucking his joint…….that’s what’s crazy, not Beck.

    You’re just to dumb and or paralyzed with fear to face the reality of the Middle East / North Africa / Barack Hussein Obama ll relationship and how terrible for America / Israel / the entire free world that ( No one really knows what the hell is going on ) that fact can be.

    I’m not qualified to speak on Beck’s show because it’s not part of my must see tv.

    I don’t think many people have stopped to consider precisely what it is the Islamic jihadists have in mind for the rest of the world. They consider Israel the “little satan” and the US the “great satan.” All any rational human being has to do is to listen to their words–destroy Israel first and then destroy the US. I find it odd, in particular, that no one is picking up on the fact that Iran is building missile launching facilities in Venezuela. What could that be all about?

    Its a fact that Bush abandoned his pursuit of OBL in Tora Bora and Obama is more like Churchill in that he FINISHED THE KILL and Bush pulled back from eradicating Al Queda after watching OBL escape into Pakistan.

    Looks like Beck is comparing these revoulutionaries to HITLER, not Obama. Obama is just the poor ignorant dupe that can’t see what is happening or doesn’t want to. Maybe that is because he went to that Jew hating church in Chicago.

  • ganymede

    This is a perfect example of why Beck is being dumped by FOX. Even Murdoch and Ailes realized they were playing with fire as concerns Beck. His lies and distortions of history and his ability to communicate this idiocy to millions of people is actually how fascism got off the ground in Germany. The appeasers of Hitler were conservatives like Neville Chamberlayne and rightwingers everywhere who wanted to start fascism all over the world. The left in Germany was eliminated by Hitler and ‘moderate’ countries all over the world were totally opposed to Hitler including, of course, President Roosevelt.The real supporters of Naziism were mainly large international industries like IBM, General Motors and wealthy rightwing individuals like George W. Bush’s grandfather and Jack Kennedy’s father who thought Hitler was on to a good thing. Germany then, like today, was one of the great industrious money making countries and we didn’t want to lose that market.

    Beck is just taking advantage of people of limited backgrounds who have been fed anti good government and rightwing propaganda, especially since the time of Saint Reagan. It’s essentially a group of people who for the most part call themselves Christians although they practice a very negative, distorted version of it. Beck’s going to Israel is the height of arrogance and will only feed the fires of divisions between Israel and the Arab world. What Fundamentalist Christians are doing in Israel is quite cynical. It’s hard to believe that they are using the Jewish Israelis to gain their own salvation because the Second Coming of Christ will take place in Israel and the Jews will have to accept Jesus or perish along with the rest of the heathen world. They also prophesize that the Jews and Arabs will always be at war. Nice stuff that Mr. Beck promotes to mostly a small minority of rightwing Israelis ‘friends’

    Oh yes, Obama is an appeaser just like good old Neville Chamberlayne. Maybe someday many of you rightwingers will get it – Obama is trying to heal the damage that has been done to us by the bad governments that we, the people, have, voted for. I’ve been trying to figure out why the right hates Obama. I think it’s because he’s authentic and totally unlike nearly every other political leader we’ve had over the years. The only other authentic President since Johnson and Kennedy was, of course, Bill Clinton, and look what they did to him.

    Why is Obama an appeaser? Please tell us oh great Beck what would you have our president do in the middle east? He just ordered the killing of the worlds biggest criminal, he at least doubled our troop strength in Afganistan and is actively attacking wanted terrorist with drones. Is the middle east a mess? Damn straight it is, but its always been a mess. Let me give you righties a little history lesson. In 1947 the whole Arab world(almost) attacked Israel, and Israel kicked their asses. Then in 1956 the suez crisis occurred and Israel again kicked their asses. Then in 1967 during the six day war, Israel did a preemptive strike on the arab world(mostly Egypt) who was going to attack them ,and obliterated them taking disputed land in the process. Then in 1973 Israel was once again attacked on all sides by multiple arab nations. Israel crushed them, and took more land. I could go on and on , Lebanon, the Becca Valley ect ect. You guys think Israel is in some sort of trouble. They will destroy whoever trys anything against them. And get this, I know you don’t believe it but Obama will support them either directly or behind the scenes just like every other president has done throughout history. How is what is happening in the middle east today worse than before? Its not its actually probably better believe it or not. But of course the righties will not talk about the past if it doesn’t fit their narrative. Goofball Beck probably would have said the world is ending and to run to the hills back during the yom kipper war. Thank goodness there are more reasonable people that don’t panic and pee themselves when things get a little crazy. All Beck does is play on the wingnuts fears.

    Oh yes, Obama is an appeaser just like good old Neville Chamberlayne. Maybe someday many of you rightwingers will get it – Obama is trying to heal the damage that has been done to us by the bad governments that we, the people, have, voted for. I’ve been trying to figure out why the right hates Obama. I think it’s because he’s authentic and totally unlike nearly every other political leader we’ve had over the years. The only other authentic President since Johnson and Kennedy was, of course, Bill Clinton, and look what they did to him.

    That is hysterical. 0bama is going to save us from ourselves and our past. Apologizing for everything we’ve “done”. 0bama is the least authentic president by far. America has done more good for this planet than everyone else combined. You’ve OD’d on the kool-aid. I’m sorry but folks like you are lost.

    I’m not sure if Glennda is up on her history…OK that’s not true, Glennda knows nothing about history beyond when she played “Castle Wolfenstein” that one time…but actually recently deposed Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak was a key player in the Yom Kippur War against Israel. And of course Hosni Mubarak was also a close, dear friend of George W. Bush. Many Egyptians – much like Glenn Beck – will always harbor resentment if not outright hatred of Jews. It’s a reality to be dealt with.

    One thing that has always fascinated me about this appeaser thing with Chamberlin is that he alone gest so much blame for being an apologist for Hilter. What the hell was the rest of the world doing against Hitler? The french appeased him. The rest of europe did also. The Russians looked the other way, and got their asses attacked for doing so. Then of course there is the USA. What the hell were we doing as Hitler ran across Europe. Most of the USA didn’t want anything to do with fighting Hitler , they didn’t give a crap what was going on over there. And if they did they sure as hell weren’t that enthusiastic about getting involved. It took the Japs to attack us, then the Germans declared war on us!. Then we decided boy we really better do something. Point being there is a lot of blame to go around on who appeased Hitler.

    Yea that world American Exceptionalism really pisses a lot of countries off. Are we a impressive country sure we are and we have done many great things. But so has a lot of nations. I think in general we are a force for good in the world. But that doesn’t give us the right to do what the hell we want. Are we exceptional because we have 50 million people without health insurance, and the other western countries don’t have any. Are we exceptional because we have one of the highest infant mortality rates in the developed world. Are we exceptional because we have by far the highest murder rate of any 1st world nation. Are we exceptional because we are falling behind every industrialized nation in math and science? This is a great country and I love it but we could learn a few things from some of these other “un exceptional” countries.

    Sorry man, we don’t have to apologize for anything. Just because 0bama said we’re arrogant, doesn’t mean we actually were. If you don’t remember, there was a willing coalition from Europe in regards to Iraq. I’m not saying it was right or a good idea, but we didn’t go unilaterally. See, I have a lot of problems with Bush as do a lot of conservatives. And GWB is not my or most conservative’s hero unlike 0bama is for the the the left. We’ve been the world’s policeman and sugar daddy since WWII. Why did the Western European nations get to spend so much on their welfare states? Because we paid for their freaking defense and they didn’t have to (much).

    There are a lot of things to cover in this post and many of my arguments would fall along philosophical lines. Health insurance is not a god given right. My opinion (and that of the Founders) My property (my labor) should not be confiscated for distribution to someone else, where will it end? That is a form of servitude. I’m not opposed to helping the helpless. Medicaid is worthwhile, Medicare utilizing the private sector is as well. But massive social engineering and central planning are not what America is about. Math and Science.. our drop coincides directly with the creation of the Department of Education. Both of these issues go to the big/federal gov’t vs limited/local gov’t argument.

  • insideguy

    Its not a god given right. Its a moral right. We spend a trillion dollars a year on our defense budget. Veterans have national health care. It is socialized. Once again I ask the question does the right support government healthcare for our veterans? And if not would you propose they go get private health insurance? And if they do support government healthcare for our veterans why would they, when its clearly inferior to private health ins. You will not find anybody i repeat any right winger who does not support govt healthcare for our vets. This I ask them ,If its so bad why would they support it. Answer: cause they know deep down inside that govt healthcare is the way to go. And you govt being involved in our education ok interesting argument but it does not make sense since every other western country has a centralized govt run education system and are smoking us.

  • brownsound

    Regarding health care… I’m not up for writing a novel on this topic… which is what it would take to fully vet this issue. I’m content in my position and it’s well thought out and constitutionally based. I respect your opinion and believe that you have nothing but good intentions.

    One thing I will say about education at the federal level. The constitution doesn’t provide the fed gov’t the power to control it. The Dept of Education was created in 1979. Our decline, relative to the rest of world, started around the same time. There’s quite of bit of information out there about this and the philosophy of local government/less bureaucracy being more effective.

    My constitutional arguments are about what powers are granted to the federal gov’t. And that all others were expressly given to the states. The Founders feared an all too powerful federal government and rightly so. The leviathan has grown and grown and intruded and intruded. And it continues unabated. When government oversteps it’s bounds, its much easier corrected at more local levels. They want to raise taxes to help with debt/deficit? Please. There is not one shred of evidence that with more revenue, these clowns (on both sides) wouldn’t just find something else to spend it on. Since they refuse to moderate the profligate spending, the only answer to take the power back that they have usurped from the states and local gov’t. And let’s not get started on the promises originally made about social security. Next up: confiscating or taxing our private retirement accounts.

    One thing about the slavery issue. Many of the Founders were opposed to it and wanted the prohibition in the constitution originally. However, some colonies would have never ratified. So they reluctantly omitted the prohibition in order to secure the creation of the union. And if they hadn’t, and a union did not come about and the colonies were left to their own devices, pockets of slavery on this continent very likely would have lasted longer than it did. The Brits were more than happy for slavery to continue in the New World. They profited mightily from it.

    Also, on amending… if a healthcare law was put up as a constitutional amendment and sent to the states for ratification and it passed… I’d argue like hell during the debate before ratification, but if it passed, then so be it, I’d embrace. But the way this went down in 2010. No F’ing way.

    We have the lowest personal income tax in the western world. The idea that we can reduce this deficit by simply cutting spending is a fantasy at best. What both sides are afraid of is that in order to cut the deficit you need to raise taxes and cut spending, there is no other way. U use the states rights issue the same way the south did. You can make that argument that slavery was not prohibited thereby causing it to be a states rights issue. This is foolish because it was a moral thing to do to get rid of slavery. It is also a moral responsibility for our citizens to have affordable accessible healthcare. What if say Georgia did not agree with having the right for women to vote after the constitution was amended. Would that be ok? After all it wasn’t in the original document. And some how during the clinton years prior to the bush tax cuts we balanced the budget. This was due to a cut in spending(mostly defense) and higher tax rates than we have today. As I write this our country has the lowest tax rates for the riches people in its history, since the inception of the income tax. There are bills to be paid taking care of the least among us giving care to the elderly at affordable prices. You seem to be a smart man do not fall into the tea party mentality.

    You’re missing the point about the ratifying. I’m talking about the original document and whether or not we’d even have a union created. That required every colony to agree. The amendment process doesn’t require unanimity. Georgia could protest but could not impede the passage of an amendment such as women’s suffrage. You get no argument from me on the moral issue. Don’t fall into the tired liberal falsehood that states rights means slavery rights. The States provided for the creation of the Federal government, not the other way around. States rights has a much broader meaning than slavery. Slavery is over. Let it go.

    The 0bama administration, in it’s first budget, increased each department’s budget by 35% over 2008 levels. 35%!! The deficit in March 2011 alone was more than 2007 in total. That’s 2007 with 2 wars and the so-called Bush tax cuts. 0bama then proclaims “We’re freezing the budgets of all executive branch departments.” Well, isn’t that something! Raise them 35% then proclaim a freeze like you’re so very responsible. Cut every department by at least 25% tomorrow. There’s no other way. You could tax every millionaire at 90% and it wouldn’t cover 1 year’s deficit. Not even close. Then what? Raid their savings?

    We’re in trouble. We can’t be subsidizing cowboy poets and turtle bridges in our current predicament. If we’re in prosperous times and there’s extra cash, fine. Not now. If I lost my job tomorrow, the Friday night wine and steak has to go. Cross country trips to visit the folks has to be put on hold. The gov’t has to do the same.

    I’m tired of people comparing us to the rest of world. We are our own country, founded on our own ideas, Capitalist. Why are our taxes lower than theirs? They have a socialist ideology. We Don’t. My income, which is my labor, it’s mine. It’s my property and property rights are the basis of liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Our core beliefs. The progressive income tax has led to our government’s never ending procession of programs and expenditures. It’s an abomination and now less than half of us even pay it. That makes me a minority. A Federal Taxpayer, the minority. I’m the only minority in this country that has no special privilege. And the only one the MSM doesn’t cry for.

    See the point is brownsound is national healthcare is coming down the pike weather you like it or not. It is like every other right wing argument over the past 100 years you have argued and you have lost. Change is coming and you can either get out of the way or help to make it work. Your side is the same side that fought against a womens right to vote, or gays in the military, or civil rights(I know both sides had there people that opposed that) the point being old school thinking does not work in this day in age. If you don’t want to compare us to other countries fine. But we have always borrowed things that work from other countries. What would yu like our tax rate to be what do you consider fair. You could say a flat tax sure, but aint gonna happen so we have to try and work things out within the system we have. The right is constantly stuck in some kind of time warp, and the left is always pushing forward. They proposed social security, medicare, medicaid, and other social welfare programs. Of course these need to be paid for Ive been all over the world and my wife is german. The idea that some americans have that europeans live under some horrible socialized system that is crushing their spirit amazes me. Go over there talk to them see what they think about there systems. Look at the statistics on longer life spans, more time off, generally healthier and happier lives. The biggest advantage this country has is it is able to unleash a spirt of doing something on your own, and it is more possible in this country than those others. But raising some taxes and cutting some spending isn’t going to destroy us. Im all for cutting some spending, but the idea that the republican party is going to do that is a joke. The deficit went from 5 trillion to 9 trillion in the 7years under bush, after clinton had run a surplus. I did not see one tea party guy out in the streets or on the news during this time. Bush cut taxes during a time we were fighting two wars. This is an idiotic idea and has never been done in the history of the country. Then our country goes into its worst recession since the great depression and Bush bails out carloads of people. Now the right all of a sudden get pissed when Obama gets in. He did the stimulus package,you can argue whether its been effective. A lot of the spending thats being done right now is increasing medicare and medicaid cost that would have gone up under any republican president as well. Bush created the department of homeland security. Our defense budget is more than double what it was 10 years ago. These are the things Obama has to deal with. You cannot balance this budget without raising taxes and any economist worth his salt will tell you that its just a fact.

    What a complete idiot. Everything he says is so nonsensical, its hard to tell where to begin. First of all, he compares Hitler’s rise, in Germany, to events in the Middle East. Talk about a non-sequitur. Hitler seized power of a country, and started systematically killing the Jewish population. Beck compares Hitler, not to another evil world leader, but to populations of people. How do you do that? If Beck is going to make comparisons, where is the country, with an evil leader, that is systematically killing it’s Jewish population? One other minute historical fact, Israel did not exist, in Hitler’s day. So what is Beck trying to say? Is he trying to say that there are anti-Semitic views, in the Arab world? Well DUH! Did Beck just come to this epiphany? Beck clearly believes we are in the “End Times”. Well tell Beck not to worry, there is an old preacher, who has predicted the World will end this Saturday, May 21, 2011. Beck is giving the World a little longer, I believe he said about 70 years. You know when I hear people like Beck and that old Preacher, I think of one thing, the Bible warned against, “:False Prophets”. And these two, fit the mold.

    Richard Engel just messed his pants, front and back, live on Chuck Todd’s morning ” Sucking Off Obama ” program on MSNBC.

    He was quite gleeful in presenting the news that one of the blind sheikh ( in federal prison for first world trade center bombing ) was out in front of the U.S. Embassy in Cairo with 200 al qaeda members protesting for the immediate release of his father from prison.

    Engel went on to report this son personally worked for Osama bin Laden in the past and isn’t it cool that now even al Qaeda can protest right out on the Egyptian street.

    Barack Hussein Obama ll is attempting to destroy ” real ” America and Israel continuing with his planned ” Death To America ” speech this morning, followed by his terroristic plan to further destabilize America by pledging billions of dollars of aid to these islamic ji hadists while he continues to destroy our own democracy and lives.

    Its not a god given right. Its a moral right. We spend a trillion dollars a year on our defense budget. Veterans have national health care. It is socialized. Once again I ask the question does the right support government healthcare for our veterans? And if not would you propose they go get private health insurance? And if they do support government healthcare for our veterans why would they, when its clearly inferior to private health ins. You will not find anybody i repeat any right winger who does not support govt healthcare for our vets. This I ask them ,If its so bad why would they support it. Answer: cause they know deep down inside that govt healthcare is the way to go. And you govt being involved in our education ok interesting argument but it does not make sense since every other western country has a centralized govt run education system and are smoking us.

    Do all those countries ” that are smoking U.S. ) have an underbelly uneducatable sub culture growing unchecked in their ghettos? Do they even have ghettos ? Nobody on the left, or the right for that matter what to honestly face the truth regarding just what is killing the ” real ” American dream, leaving us with a quickly approaching third world status or worse…..extinction.

    You and your ilk tout the wonderfulness of other countries yet you never state the fact that most, if not all of those countries restrict ( set quotas ) on children per household as well as demand a certain amout of contribution to productive society by all who are able.

    The United States of America takes none of these steps in our treatment of our poor, minority, underbelly of society, but if you bleeding ass liberals want to go apples for apples across the board with what another country of our mutual choice is doing, not just the shit you like, I’m all in.

    This is a fallacy. Specifically in regards to Civil Rights. The vast majority of governors, mayors and sheriffs in the south were Democrats. Al Gore’s father was vehemently opposed. Bill Clinton’s mentor was a racist of the first order. Since you’re now throwing around the “right-winger” crap… The revisionist left wingers have been trying to rewrite history for the last 100 years to suit their narrative. This is another example. It was Republican President Eisenhower who sponsored both Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act and it was LBJ lead Senate who fought tooth and nail against them. Ike finally signed a watered down Civil Rights Bill. Yes, let me repeat that, Republican President Dwight Eisenhower sponsored and signed the first Civil Rights Bill. Did you know that? LBJ co-opted the Civil Rights movement in the most cynical play in the history of presidential politics.
    What was LBJ’s famous quote about the civil rights act? “I’ll have those n*****s voting Democratic for the next 200 years.” — Lyndon B. Johnson to two governors on Air Force One – Ronald Kessler’s “Inside The White House”

    Nevada secures partial waiver from federal health care law

    By Karoun Demirjian, The Policy Racket

    Monday, May 16, 2011 | 5:08 p.m.

    Nevada got a partial waiver from the health care law – a significant development that Democrats are dismissing as par for the course and Republicans are claiming as a political victory.

    The Health and Human Services Department announced late Friday that Nevada had secured a statewide waiver from certain implementation requirements of the Obama administration’s health care law, because forcing them through, the department found, “may lead to the destabilization of the individual market.”

    The announcement makes Nevada one of only three states to have compliance requirements under the health care bill waived.

    Nevada’s Insurance Division had appealed to the feds to reduce the federal requirement that health plans serving people who buy insurance on their own must spend at least 80 percent of the money they collect on medical expenses. Under the national rule, companies that don’t spend that percentage of revenue on medical costs have to cut policyholders rebate checks starting this year.

    What a joke. The two biggest pushers, Pelosi and Reid, are the recipients of the waivers. Mission accomplished… enslave the rest of nation, secure your future votes at home by obtaining emancipation for your constituents

  • insideguy

    Brownsound you can argue that the civil rights movement was opposed by a lot of democrats particularly in the south and I would agree with you. But the point being that the civil rights movement was not a right wing movement. The southern democrats were conservative and most of this guys are republican today as you can see by looking at a electoral votes map. Besides a couple northern southern states and florida the democrats have basically accepted they aren’t going to win down there. Martin Luther King was not a righties neither were any of the people involved. Did Eisenhower support civil rights? Sure he did but it took LBJ to get it done. And LBJ was right the african americans have voted democrat since then. It really hasn’t helped in the south cause the whites vote republican as much as the blacks vote democrat. Name me one progressive or innovative idea that has come from the republicans in the last 30 years? One? All they do is fight against the tide and try to stem progress. The vast vast majority of the public is against the Ryan bill that hasn’t stopped them from trying to push that idiocy through. And the idea that the vast majority of the public is against national healthcare is interesting. Just because a large portion(the people who have ins) seem to be against it and are afraid of change doesn’t mean its the right way to go. People are always fighting against change. The right has been fighting against repealing don’t ask don’t tell for 2 decades. They lost, and history will prove them fools. The left was anti-bush and to some extent expesh the far left it was ridiculous, I don’t feel like he was a bad guy, but he made one foolish mistake after another. And I don’t think history is going to judge him kindly. I could be wrong but I doubt it. It takes corgi to try and change things. Is the left always correct in their push towards this change? No but at least they try and do something unlike the right who’s only solution is to de regulate everything and lower taxes. Those are their two ideas.

  • insideguy

    And this is not directed at you brownsound but I wish you righties would wake up and smell the coffee when it comes to beck. If Obama had supported Mubarak in egypt in during that revolution he would have been all upset and called for impeachment. He did not and beck is upset. All he does is look at something that has happened find a way to criticize Obama or the left on it then move on to something else that has happened in the world to blame the left. The right were calling for action in Libya claiming Obama wasn’t doing enough. Then when action is taken they say its not the right way, or it wont work or its to late. They said the same thing about Serbia and Bosnia during the 90s when clinton was in office. News Flash that worked. And Kadaffi is not going to be there much longer bank on it. We will deal with who comes after. Beck is taking advantage of your hopes and fears the same way a evangelical preacher takes advantage of an old dying person.

    Hitler was not in any manner a socialist. Just because the name appeared in the party name does not mean he or his minions were truly socialists. Like Republicans he believed in the merging of the will of the State and Corporations. The Gang of Five are also Nazis if you take it to its logical end. Then logic is not something the right wing has ever been able to use. They don’t even believe in science, evolution, etc.

    And Meshuggunah Beck was in even finer form on the radio this morning. First, he and the brain trust–well-read foreign policy expert, Pat Gray, and their pet poodle, Stu Burgiere–were wondering how the President could side with the Egyptian protesters in January, but not with the Iranian street last year. No mention, of course, about the chasmic distinction between the Egyptian military, which we created and work with hand in hand, and the Iranian armed forces, over which we have absolutely no, zero, nada influence. In other words, the difference between the Egyptian circumstances and the Iranian is lots and lots of dead bodies.

    And as if the rank stupdiity and know-nothingness weren’t enough, Meshuggunah then proceeded to advise the Israelis to relocate their capital from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. One gets the impression that the Isrealis are going to figure out fairly soon that Meshug’s concern for them goes only as deep as end-times prophecy allows. Luckily, American jews sussed that out about their evangelical allies long ago. An kind smile and a wide berth, that’s the way to handle the snake-handlers, alright.

    At the same time, it was not immediately clear whether Obama’s statement on the 1967 borders as the basis for negotiations – SOMETHING THE PALESTIANS HAVE LONG SOUGHT – would be sufficient to persuade the Palestinians to drop their push for U.N. recognition….****

    0bama has not reversed decades of US policy about the borders of Israel and the proposed Palestinian state. Giving away territory… if it sounds exactly like the appeasement of Hitler, that’s because it is exactly like it.

    Wow. Un-freaking believable

    And a slap in the face to Netanyahu the day before he arrives. Is there any doubt now about 0bama’s Israel hatred?

    Well yes, since you mentioned it, he is a racist. But the point of the article (you might want to read it before commenting) is that he’s appeasing the Islamists.

    Bush still hoping for two-state solution
    Samar Fatany | Arab News

    WASHINGTON: President George W. Bush reaffirmed his commitment for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian issue and called on Saudi Arabia and other Middle East nations to work for a final resolution to the long-standing problem.

    He made the remarks on Thursday at a White House reception for a group of more than 40 women from the Middle East and North Africa visiting the United States.

    Bush told the delegation that he has moved Israel closer to accepting a two-state solution during his time in office.

    “I believe there needs to be a Palestinian state, and I stand by it,” Bush said.

    “More than six years ago, I became the first American president to call for the creation of a Palestinian state.”

    Bush said he sympathized with the plight of the Palestinian people.

    “I said that Palestinians should not have to live in poverty and occupation and I laid out a new vision for the future — two democratic states, Israel and Palestine — living side by side in peace and security.”

    He praised Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah as both a great friend and ally and hoped that other nations would unite with America to seek an equitable solution.

    “I have worked hard to change the terrible condition of Palestinians, and I ask for the support of Saudi Arabia and other Arab states to achieve this,” Bush said.

    Bush dismissed notions of Islamophobia behind America’s current stance in the Middle East and Iraq and spoke of his respect for Islam and Muslims.

    “Muslims and Christians pray to the same God,” Bush said, vehemently denying reports that portray him as a person against Islam and Muslims.

    Bush portrayed himself as a friend and an ally of Arab governments who support peace.

    At the end of the meeting, he told the delegation he would be meeting with the mothers of American soldiers killed in Iraq, saying he has a duty to console them and “stand by their side.”

    The delegation, consisting of women from Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Algeria, Yemen, Bahrain, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco and Qatar, is part of an exchange program to promote economic and educational reform in their home countries.

    You yahoos can stop defending obama. He just gave away Israel to the Palestinians.
    *****In a statement released late Thursday in Jerusalem, Netanyahu called the 1967 lines “indefensible,” saying such a withdrawal would jeopardize Israel’s security and leave major West Bank settlements outside Israeli borders, though Obama left room for adjustments reached through negotiations.

    At the same time, it was not immediately clear whether Obama’s statement on the 1967 borders as the basis for negotiations – SOMETHING THE PALESTIANS HAVE LONG SOUGHT – would be sufficient to persuade the Palestinians to drop their push for U.N. recognition….****
    http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2011/may/19/obama-urges-israel-to-go-back-to-1967-borders/

    Yeah, I would call him an appeaser. Just like the Nazi’s got prior to the whole world waking up that appeasing monsters just doesn’t work!

    Isreal, our any ally in the ME, isn’t too happy with the fool in the WH. I guess they are just blowing smoke, too?

    Here we go again with the “find me a modern western country with a lower personal income tax” crap. Whether this statement is factual or not matters not… other country’s tax rate is their business. It has absolutely no bearing on what’s going on in this country. It’s such a ridiculous argument. Who give a flying f*ck what goes on in other countries? Are they governed by our constitution and our ideology? Are you one of these guys that also thinks we should consider laws of other countries in US courtrooms?

You fools know how many of your tax dollars go over to support Israel? Do you give a flying F#ck about that? Tell me einstein what should your tax rate be? You don’t know lets just repeal the damn thing, let the states take care of everything. Your a typical moronic American who things the world revolves around us.

  • insideguy

    No brownstone you refuse to answer anything else at this point Im writing you off as another new earthier who wants to teach out kids straight out of the bible, and think that dinosaurs walked with cavemen. You don’t think we have anything to learn from other countries. You simplify everything to fit YOUR worldview, you don’t appreciate how complicated things are and criticize our president for things that other presidents have done. I don’t even mind that so much but just like every other righty you conveniently forget what has happened in the past. You have no answers all you do is want to go back to 1783 and have everyone live like a farmer. Your views are primitive and immature in a complicated world. Ill answer your idiotic question but you already know the answer. our laws are fine. However believe it or not smart guy we are constantly changing our laws. What was illegal yesterday is legal today and vice versa. And thank goodness, course if we just go by the 10 commandments like you righties would like then we could get away with a whole bunch of stuff. You think the founding fathers just came up with the constitution out of thin air? No they looked at what worked and didn’t work around the world and use it as a model for how this country should be run. Yea can you believe it they looked at other countries and saw what they were doing, wow amazing.

  • insideguy

    and that aid to israel only goes up to 2008. See you guys don’t mind shelling over money to a place like Israel who is a giant welfare state of the USA. Boy no wonder its so nice over there. But thats good welfare, just like the defense industry, the oil subsidize, the farm subsidizes, huge bailouts of multi billon dollar corporations. But don’t give the poor people welfare and make them pay income tax cause im made i have to pay mine.

  • brownsound

    My whole point, which went right over your head, is that YOUR repeated statement about “lowest personal income tax in modern western blah blah blah” isn’t in itself even a valid argument. Their laws, their situations, their politics are different from ours. So you can’t use that as some final validation of your point about our taxation.

    I’m sorry that this minor critique of your assertion sets you off on your ideologies well-worn anti conservative rants about 1783, and religion(?), “the complicated world” and such. I never mentioned anything about abolishing our tax code. You constructed a field of straw men from one criticism. Geez man, your hostility towards those that don’t have your same view is off the charts.

  • brownsound

    insideguy said:

    I clearly stated in our previous dialogue how I place a value on some of the programs we have in place that help the poor. My comments about paying my taxes… they were ironic comments. I guess you can’t see that.

  • insideguy

    No browsound you set up the the haystack that needed to be blown over. You want certain things go look up what the personal income tax is in other countries. Im not going to even go into other taxes these people pay that we don’t it will blow your mind. I missed you point about helping the poor. How is that by not having businesses pay for their health care so when they get sick they become even poorer? God forbid anyone in your family gets sick and doesn’t have health care. Its the biggest reason for personal bankruptcy in this country. No one goes bankrupt in germany from getting sick no one. If you think thats a cool way to run this country then lets keep things the way they are. Because after all as you stated earlier health care isn’t a god given right. I don’t know you you are a new earthier or not but you sound like one. So don’t worry about anything cause the rapture is coming tomorrow according to some of your like minded people.

    ok brownsound you say potato I say potatoe. Just get back to me when a conservative gets into the whitehouse I expect you to be just as critical of him as you are on Obama. Curious who do you support? As i have stated earlier you don’t seem like a bad guy, but as you can see by your conservative brethren on this board their comments are foolish and uneducated.

  • brownsound

    Be fair. There are an equal number of numbskulls on this site from both sides. We know these people exist on both sides. Why only call out one side? Now, I will absolutely descend into the mudslinging when I’m on the receiving end of it. Some people only know one way to communicate so I feel the need to “communicate” with them.

    I personally would like to see a true conservative in the race like Marco Rubio or Paul Ryan. I think Christie is much less a true conservative than a lot of people believe. Of the current crop, I like what I hear from Herman Cain. I think he’s announcing tomorrow. Beyond that, I believe that 0bama is damaging this country and would I support Elmer Fudd against him. But Elmer would be branded a gun loving lunatic and I’d hate to see him take the abuse. Note that I said I BELIEVE 0bama is damaging the country. It’s an opinion, no need to start a flame war over it.

  • insideguy

    Well that is an answer and i except it. But the fact that you would support a complete moron like Elmer Fudd concerns me. As bad as you think Obama is and I accept the fact you think he’s bad,it goes to the root of what you think. During George Bushs admin I would never say that I would vote for Daffy Duck instead of him never. I think George was a naive idiot but I would not just support any moron that ran against him and voted for him. This is scary and dangerous. To pull the lever and support any moron goes to a mentality that i can neither support or relate to. I guess it all stems back to how I think. I don’t think george Bush was a bad evil guy. I think he was a fool. You guys think that Obama is some kind of evil genius or something and would rather have a naive dummy in the white house.

  • brownsound

    Wow dude. The Elmer Fudd joke was just that, a joke… meant to underscore my opposition to what I consider a dangerous agenda. I will support the republican nominee against 0bama’s ideology. You continue to respond to me with the “you guys” and “wingnuts” crap. If you can’t converse without the sweeping generalizations and lumping me into a group that you have preconceived opinions about, I’ll quit wasting my time responding to you and go about my other commenting.

  • insideguy

    You said it not me brownsound, and i do think that a vast majority or the right wing would vote for Elmer Fudd over Obama. They have not shown me otherwise.

  • dougx

    The Left is either the Nazis or the appeasers. I’m not sure which. Depends on the day.
