“They can continue to track you, basically forever, once they’ve tapped into your system … it’s so broad that they can do just about anything.” says Beck's vampiric foil Guilfoyle.
“I know who our czars are now, and this collection of these czars, these are evil people. These are wicked, crazy, frightening people.” replied Beck on his Fox News program.
The show went on to have Jonah Goldberg lie that if you log onto the site with Skype, you're giving them permission to listen to all your phone calls - something their hero Bush did with Fox's blessing.
It's a lie of course, says Kos and I'd like to think that by now someone in the Foxhouse would have bothered to notice that the privacy statement Beck showed us wasn't from Cars.gov at all but from a system registered dealers use to report the sales. you couldn't log into this system if you wanted to. I'd like to think there would be some kind of apology - in fact I'd like to see some kind of criminal prosecution, wouldn't you? I'm sure we won't. I'm sure we will see and hear more and bigger and more outrageous lies and no one will do a damned thing as we slide into ruin.
One of Shaw’s readers left this comment under this post worthy of being repeated here:
ReplyDeleteJoe Matthews: “Republicans are selling the bogus notion that this president is somehow illegitimate. You don't have to know very much about American history to recognize that such nonsense, when spread to the unstable, can result in tragedy and violence [my bold]. I can't help but think that the decline of the mainstream media is a big part of this story. Americans have bought trash mortgages and trash food. Now they are choosing trash information -- brought to them not on-line but also via cable TV -- over reliable, edited news. You are what you eat, and too many Americans, by consuming nonsense, have become nonsensical.”
Earlier today, I saw this this report:
“Since Mr Obama took office, the rate of threats against the president has increased 400 per cent (…) including an alleged plot by white supremacists in Tennessee late last year to rob a gun store, shoot 88 black people, decapitate another 14 and then assassinate the first black president in American history.”
Even more disturbing, the Secret Service has directed agents to work longer hours to cover the extra workload and miss training exercises and tests.
Thus, we should be alarmed by the likes of Glenn Beck and Lou Dobbs who inspire these whack jobs and may be inciting them to act. More than censored, they should be fired!
With regard to a particular strain of lunacy, I recommend Chris Kelly's satirical say about those who think President Obama isn't American. Ah yes, "constitutional originalism."
ReplyDeleteFor what it's worth, this post on The Reaction spawned a comment that the video is a fake and I'm spreading hate about "Mr. Beck"
ReplyDeleteEver wonder why people commit mass murder? People like that deserve public disembowelment and they deserve it right now.
