I was mistaken to think Alan Keyes calling Obama a radical communist was something he was doing for media attention. Glen Beck had a program 'war gaming' various scenarios of civil war based on the government betraying 'the people'.

The video links to Beck's program are in the middle of the article. (Some may not like the article itself...if so, skip down to the video links.)

"With Obama now actually in the Oval Office -- and a financial crisis in full force that is generating the exact type of widespread, intense anxiety that typically inflames these cultural resentments -- their mask is dropping, has dropped, and they've suddenly re-discovered their righteous "principles." The week-long CNBC Revolt of the Traders led by McCain voter Rick Santelli and the fledgling little Tea Party movement promoted by the Michelle Malkins of the world are obvious outgrowths of this 1990s mentality, now fortified by the most powerful fuel: deep economic fear. But as feisty and fire-breathing as those outbursts are, nothing can match -- for pure, illustrative derangement -- the discussion below from Glenn Beck's new Fox show this week, in which he and an array of ex-military and CIA guests ponder (and plot and plan) "war games" for the coming Civil War against Obama-led tyranny. It really has to be seen to be believed."

Sorry, your side's turn to take it now.

Your side called our side's president the Antichrist for eight years, called for his impeachment, imprisonment, or worse, in increasingly hysterical tones. And your side went on and on and on and on about this, on multiple fronts and on multiple channels and venues.

Partisan hacks' hyperbole is a bitch, no?

There is obviously a major categorical difference between legal exercising of free speech and calling/planning for insurrection.

[Gopher]

Hypocrisy at its finest.

[Kuros]

Yes, the power of Alan Keyes' influence makes our very nation tremble at his insurrectionist words.

Oh, how will the Republic endure the charisma of this new Caesar???

I'm not sure why Keyes and Beck use 'civil war'. From listening to Beck, he sounds like he's talking about armed resistance to law enforcement agents, but who knows for sure?

Anyway, if I were living in the US, I think I'd wear a helmet if I went outside on April 19, just in case any of Timothy McVeigh's friends listen to Glen Beck. But it's probably nothing to be concerned about. Those meetings McVeigh went to were just talk after all. Political rhetoric. Hacks. Nothing ever comes of just talk, even when it's about stopping an illegal government. And armed militias are so 90's.

HEY!!

If you guys want to debate the merits of George W. Bush, feel free to start a thread and do so. As is, you have fallen for the cheapest trick in the book--I call it James the Sophomore's 'But Mommy, he did it first' trick. When anyone employs it, they are trying to deflect attention away from their own misbehavior.

Let's try to stay on target--Glenn Beck's recent broadcast about the Right's use of inflammatory speech.

Well, it's not like we have that much to worry about. What's the fox news demographic? I really don't think a bunch of geriatrics pose much threat to us. Unless they start tossing depends around.

[Gopher]

Oh this is going to be fun. Hey Moosehead: the Obama administration is waging and expanding an illegal secret war in Pakistan. He just wants to enlarge America's Middle Eastern Oil Empire and better position American forces for a planned aggression against Iran...R. Nixon in Cambodia all over again...And we all know Nixon got what he deserved...

Lets just be clear who brought up GWB in the first place.
