Breaking News: Glenn Beck launches a terror campaign against teachers, firefighters, police, college students and high school kids



Comments/Notes:

Beck says sarcastically "we are fighting our way back into the socialism we never had" implying that unions and people in unions are socialists. [Note: Socialism is defined as a centrally planned economy in which the government controls all means of production - to say that unions somehow control all means of production is absurd... and to imply that they are going to take over the government is probably not what he intended?]

He says, 'traditional valuse that we know and love and are trying desperatly to hold on to' implying that everything any particular listener cherishes is under attack and this creates a need to respond - if he is wrong then what he has actually done is to create a psychological imbalance that could lead to problems.

Funny: He believes/implies that liberals, (democrats?) who already control the presidential office and only recently lost the house, will go after beck if they should win!

Not funny: By calling all colleges, schools, firefighters, policemen, teachers and other union workers part of a movement towards socialism Beck creates fear for the future - its like the war of the worlds radio broadcast!

By comparison, here is a more balanced perspective that focuses on politics and not fear mongering.
