Beck: Americans Reject the Ferguson Protests ‘Powered by Hatred’

Glenn Beck has a simple reason why he thinks Ferguson protesters will fail: because the American people reject anything that is “powered by hatred.” And Beck sees that in the Ferguson protests, just as there was with Occupy Wall Street.

He argued that liberals love to foment “pent-up hatred on race” and exploit any police shooting like in Michael Brown‘s case. Beck went on a lengthy history lesson about progressives, radicals, and previous attempts to bring about change in the U.S. before getting to what he believed to be truth of the matter: “The American people don’t like violence. They don’t like revolution.”

“We didn’t embrace Occupy Wall Street,” he said, “because it didn’t take very long to see that it was powered by hatred. Americans reject things powered by hatred.”
