Glenn Beck: Grandparents' Nazi and Communist sympathies behind today's Progressivism

[juslom2002]

You knows this guys parents are brother and sister right?

[MaoistLeninistMarx]

Hitler was always condensing democracy as evil, Stalin and the Communists want true democracy (people's power)

Interesting Glenn. If the Nazis and Communists had the same ideology, then why did the Nazis specifically order all suspected Communists living in Germany to be sent to work camps and/or executed? I mean, did you just assume, like you obviously always do, that Jews were the only people sent to Nazi concentration camps? Indeed, the Nazis put the Communists there too, and gay people, and practically anyone else not willing to adopt Nazi ideology who lived there.

Exactly. How he made the leap from what was happening on the Eastern front in WWII across the Atlantic to the US and made Communists and Nazis allies is amazing.

The "socialism" in National Socialism (Nazi) was just their to fool people into voting for them. Socialism was very popular in Germany then and very party that wanted votes would add "socialist," "worker," or some other variant into their party name. It was the norm. Names mean nothing, look at the Democratic Peoples Republic of North Korea...does anyone really think that place is a democratic republic? Nazis were right wing. Suggestion otherwise makes me wonder what his true motivations are.

Glenns fans love it when he says stupid crap like “liberal Nazi” or “Socialist Nazi” or heavens only knows what other malarkey he has made up more recently. I think they actually believe his lies and they are blissfully unaware that anyone who has a passing understanding of early 20th Century history, laughs at them when they say this idiotic shit. It used to irritate me but now I simply see them as the idiots that they prove they are every time they say such foolish crap!

Did Beck get that swastika off his living room wall??? XD

[tjkc59]

Some 1963 communist goals

28) Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the grounds that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state."

29) Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.

30) Discredit the American founding fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man".

[Totalpranny]

The Nazis actually hated the communists. Glenn Beck hasn't got a clue what he's talking about.

[stevedude92]

@Totalpranny I agree I am communist my self and I can't stand people who call their selves Nazis.

[4teepee]

The capitalists backed the Nazis, not social justice.

I guess if it was up to Beck and problems with our constitution then we'd still have slavery in the United States and women wouldn't be able to vote. I love how he pins Communists and Nazis on a left/right spectrum...it's only partially correct, but they fall into their own spectrum off a mainstream left/right spectrum. GB is just an idiot, this thing is riddled with false logic and massive argument gaps. What frightens me is how much influence he has now. The guy is a moron, plain and simple.

[goopiegoo]

oh NO!!!! NOT the COMMIE-NAZIS!!

[58tkdmike]

Ya know...the country has a ton of GAPPED TOOTH HILLBILLIES that watch GB - but the rest of us FUKIN HATE YOU GB - no really - WE FUKIN HATE YOU

[4skin]

the overall picture here is that our goverment is screwing us. If you must nit-pick these small things you will lose sight of what is important and thats fighting for our freedoms. Now is the time GO GO GO!

[samisyosam]

@4skin

GO GO GO FUCK YOURSELF.

@samisyosam

lol well uh............fighting for freedoms isnt a good thing? Dont get me wrong i dont care for glenn beck at all but what i do care for is America and its people. All iam saying is that it is WAY apparent the government is up to some shysty buissness and that poeple should nip it in the butt before it get way way outta hand.

As for Fucking Myself......well....God keeps that from happening so that we will come outta the bathroom.

Sorry for the spelling :(

@4skin

What are we fighting? What? Say what you're fighting against. Say it specifically, go to the polls, vote against it and have a good reason for voting against it. If you have something you like in the polls, vote for that and have a good reason for voting for it. Believe in what you're doing and get involved, but don't stand on the fucking sidelines shouting vague shit. YOU'RE NOT HELPING.
