I call him a hate-monger based on my opinion of what he is saying. That is hardly name calling. He is using deliberate distortions in an attempt to - do what? Create hatred towards his targets? A mob mentality? I've given numerous examples. If I were name calling I'd be calling him a moron, Retardican, conservitard and a host of similar stupid things.
"He is right" - well, that is a matter of opinion. "He loves his country". That is debatable and a matter of opinion. He has a strange way of showing it.
Hate is a very strong word that gets thrown around alot. He certainly is trying to stir up anger, no doubt about that. But anger can be a good thing, espeically if its over an injustice or something that is morally wrong. That is certainly the case with these "czars".
You might have a point there, I'll give you that. But I look at it from what he says. Even when it's not an outright lie it's deliberate distortions - hooking together things to make a person look like he or she believes or does or says something terrible.
For example Dunn and Mao - look at what she actually said and look at what Glenn Beck said about it. It's using tactics of fear - fear of communist inroads into our government or homosexuals taking over our schools with some sort of hidden agenda to foment anger and it's a fine fine line between fear and anger, and anger and hate and acting on it. It doesn't take much to push a group of people over that line. Look at McCain/Palin's inciting their supporters by insinuating Obama supported terrorists. Freedom of the press is power but with it comes responsibility that is often shirked these days. Why doesn't Beck simply state the facts? He doesn't - he tries to craft a message and if the facts don't fit, he'll find other material to attach to it to make it sound better.
In the end: is it rightous anger or bitter partisanship - a partisanship that refused to give anything to the president - whether it's a SCOTUS nominee, policy advisors or credit when he's handled something well.
People should be outraged that open communists and appeasers are now so high up in our government. This country over the last century stood up against communism and we lost a lot of people in that confrontation. But we prevailed. Some of us actually like to remember what a real threat communism was, and still is.
Communism is largely dead. It's a failed economic system and the only remaining countries that are communist are either experimenting with a free market economy or heavily propt up by other countries. People need to get past an irrational fear of it - because that is what it is. Stirring up Marxist/Communist fears smacks more of a desperation on the part of the right to find anything - no matter how minor or long ago, and blow it up out of proportion and out of context.
