I think Glenn suffers from delusions of grandeur, and he truly feels like he is the only thing keeping millions of Americans from storming Washington DC with hunting rifles, AK47's and sticky-bombs. As much respect as I have for GB, and for all that he has accomplished, it might be time for him to take a STFU pill. The pastor was simply saying what is written in the U.S. Constitution, that Americans have a right and duty to overthrow a despotic government when necessary. |

I don't listen to GB. I don't plan on it either. It is clear to me he was just trying to cover himself after making a dumb statement or presumtion. He should have just ignored the quote and not gone onto the topic at all. I bet he was planning on ripping into the person who said it and then found out it was his buddy. He was trying to create drama and once he started in on it he could not stop because of the circumstances.

Beck, I think, is treading on a very fine line.
There are a LOT of people waiting and hoping for any chance to "prove" that Beck, the 9/12ers, 8/28ers, TEA Party, etc are racists and prone to violence. There is a reason he has been very vocal telling everyone that violence is not the answer. IMHO, all it will take is one incident, contrived or not, to convince a large portion of the USA that the progressives are correct - that those in the aforementioned groups are a bunch of crazy militant racists - and the movement would become too hot for anyone to touch. Not agreeing with what he said with regards to the OP, but I can understand why he did. |

I listen to Beck on occasion and this fits with his philosophy of total repudiation of violence.
He is consistent. He is wrong. To do, as he requests, and completely take the threat of violence off of the table is to defang the movement before it starts. Rush Limbaugh's "Undeniable Truth" #6 is this: 6. Ours is a world governed by the aggressive use of force. Sucks, but it is true. To so completely remove yourself from the reality of that is to be destined to failure. Recognizing the truth, whether it be Limbaugh's #6 or Mao Tse Tung's "Power comes from the barrel of a gun" is not a tacit approval or desire to use force against your fellow man, it is a realization of how the world works. And sometimes you have to get all the way to Churchill... "If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a small chance of survival. There may even be a worse case: you may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." I still think we are at the first step, but I fully accept the fact that we can get to the last step. |

Your statements don't quite make sense to me... but I'm not a Beck Band-wagoneer either, so I'm not offended if you hate him. I'm just pointing out the obvious. Also, that politician's remarks were made regarding the CURRENT political climate and the EXISTING power structure in DC - that politician was NOT making a generalized argument in support of (or analyzing) the purpose of the Second Ammendment - he was talking about the present political landscape in this country. The VAST majority of people - even on this site - don't think it's Fo Time yet. So the fact that Beck is on the same page probably makes Beck more mainstream than you (or the Democratic Underground for that matter). However, Beck was - as far as I can tell - denouncing a politician who is making thinly veiled accusations that the American People are getting ready to rise up and storm the Capital Building. Beck would be a fool to support him and, for all of Beck's self-importance and cry-babying on the air, I think he yet again stands vindicated in this situation. |

There is also this, from Federalist 1:
It has been frequently remarked that it seems to have been reserved to the people of this country, by their conduct and example, to decide the important question, whether societies of men are really capable or not of establishing good government from reflection and choice, or whether they are forever destined to depend for their political constitutions on accident and force. |

That's my point. Beck actually reversed his position on the bailouts before they were first passed under Bush. He had a bunch of shows (on HLN) where he was talking about how the plane was crashing, and the bailouts wouldn't get it flying again, but they may make impact less severe. Later, he came out and said (on the tv show, again) that the more he thought about it, the more it didn't sit right, and he could no longer support the idea. This was all before anything was actually passed. I remember because at the time I believed the bailout was necessary, too, and disagreed with him when he changed his mind. I was wrong. |

Apparently, in your self deluded haze of becoming the the next Ghandi clone, you conveniently forgot anything you ever read or studied about the Bill of Rights and the 2nd Amendment, or Judeo-Christian ethics for that matter. Anyone so blatantly moronic, so blinded by his own passion, so self-righteous as to forget the divinely inspired right to self defense and the RESPONSIBILITY to cast off the destructive tyranny of government through force of arms has no business informing the citizenry nor fancying themselves as some uber-moral educator. You fucked up bad on this one. Even complete reversal won't save you. As far as I'm concerned, a quick move back into your bottle of self pity is the only possible remedy for such MASSIVE fail. Unfortunately, if he agrees with the Pastor - then he is labeled an anarchist militant usurper trying to organize an over-throw of the US Government. This would be blasted all over the major news networks and used to instantly discredit anything else Beck does (or has done). It would also be used to justify the "Tea Party = Racists = Kill Obama = Must be Stopped" logic-fail that the liberals have been trying to unsuccessfully portray for years. It's a lose-lose situation, and - regardless of your personal views - he kind of HAS to denounce violence on the air as a cultural expectation. Basically In addition, one needs a majority to pull off any "revolution." You do not have to have a majority of active participants, but you must have at least a majority of passive support. If you can get that here, you can still bring about the change you want without the "revolution." So it is a self-defeating proposition (AT THIS TIME). Until things change, it is counter-productive to call of something that like that.

The pastor was simply saying what is written in the U.S. Constitution, that Americans have a right and duty to overthrow a despotic government when necessary. Which part of what document? |

Quoted:
Beck actually reversed his position on the bailouts before they were first passed under Bush. He had a bunch of shows (on HLN) where he was talking about how the plane was crashing, and the bailouts wouldn't get it flying again, but they may make impact less severe. Later, he came out and said (on the tv show, again) that the more he thought about it, the more it didn't sit right, and he could no longer support the idea. This was all before anything was actually passed. I remember because at the time I believed the bailout was necessary, too, and disagreed with him when he changed his mind. I was wrong. Yeah, that's what I remember him saying. If I remember correctly, he was saying we needed the bailout to be many times larger than it was. The cynical side of me is suspicious that he saw the error of his ways in order to improve his career, not because he was convinced he was wrong. I could be wrong, though. |
