Google, Islamists, Communists, al Jazeera, Socialists, Community organizers, Obama all want to overthrow the Western way of life and are conspiring together! Screw the people of Egypt, they don't matter, the only thing that matters is my crazy narrative!
His downward spiral since the beginning of last week is fascinating to watch. It will be ... telling whether or not he keeps his job at Fox.
Does anyone else think that he might be some great Andy Kaufman-like Dada artist?
Anyway, was anyone else in the rightwing media this ... absurd in their attempt to discredit and outright insult the legitimacy of the Egyptian protesters and their actions?

ok, the blimp added environmentalists and feminists to the list.
Seriously, is there anywhere else in the world with such an absurd rightwing media response as America? Even Bill Kristol, a pro-Bush neocon nutjub, thinks people like beck are histrionic idiots and are themselves on the side of the protestors themselves.

I'm a Marxist Calif and just as I was about to engulf Europe in a revolutionary storm and establish the Hitlerist-Stalinist-Obamaist NWO, Glenn Beck exposed my evil plan :(

Beat me to the punch. I was actually watching Glenn Beck today for my dose of comedy and I saw this. First he started out neutrally. Is the a 1776 revolution? No, of course its not he attacked the revolution as wanting to create chaos. Its interesting, because he attacks Obama as being a big government dictator, but he defends Mumbarack, who I assure you has more control over his people. But double standards are fun. Then of course Glenn started talking about scary things socialism/communism/extreme Islam. What's even scarier is having them all together. Just imagine an Islamic Caliphate ruling over the Western world... Are you imagining it yet? Now add a ton of red flags, Soviet tanks and statues of communist revolutionaries. Now a person who doesn't understand much about socialism/communism or Islam living in America is not a slave to Glenn Beck's fear mongering. But wait. Glenn Beck doesn't care about taking out communists/Islamists. In fact I'm fairly sure he realizes that as of right now they aren't a big threat to the neoliberal agenda. But of course his biggest neoliberal competitors are the Democrats. If only there were a way to connect them to this Caliphate-Communist conspiracy to rule the world through the NWO. Ahh! Community organizers, see they are the ones who organized this revolt. Community organizers--- (You mean like acorn?) And wasn't Obama a community organizer. Community sounds a lot like communism so therefore a community organizer is actually a communist organizer. Now its all coming together for the coup d'grace. Lets show a few videos of communists, and pretend that they've infiltrated the highest levels of government. Brilliant, they secretly control Obama in order to install socialism and take away your personal freedoms and convert you to Islam.
Of course why didn't I see this sooner.
Hussein= Saddam Hussein
Saddam Hussein was an Arab socialist
Obama ~Osama ==> Extreme Islam
Obama was a community organizer ==> More like a COMMUNIST organizer
Obama is a communist/socialist/Muslim from Kenya dedicated to taking away American pie, and instead giving us a Soviet motherland.
But Glenn forgot something which makes me think that he's in on this socialism/communism/extreme Islam plot.
:confused::confused::confused:
You see Glenn Beck works for Fox, which is partly owned by a Saudi prince whose family implements Sharia law. That's the Islam part.
Saudi Arabia has welafre, therefore it is social-democratic, and as Glenn said himself social-democrats is what Putin and the whole socialist crew called themselves after the Soviet downfall. So therefore Glenn Beck is a communist.
:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
There you have it. Glenn Beck is secretly in on the socialist/communist/extreme Islam agenda to start the NWO and enslave humanity.

Redbrother -:laugh: :laugh: I mean where to start?
Staats and explosive-just wait for the angel moroni (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angel_Moroni)and the reincarnation of Cleon Skousen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W._Cleon_Skousen) to come and save "Israel and The Jew" (btw who says "the jew" other than antisemites?) and to build the new Temple on the Mount (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Third_Temple) out of blocks of marble with phrases from the American Constitution written all over it.
He's just pissed because he bought a shit load of stocks in the oil industry.
Or a company that makes pearl-encrusted pistols for Arab potentates.

Through the Looking Glass...
'When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, 'it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.'
'The question is,' said Alice, 'whether you can make words mean so many different things.'
'The question is,' said Humpty Dumpty, 'which is to be master — that's all.'
"Word art", double-speak, diplo-speak, propaganda, call it what you will, it's a mind game, a 'reality' game to structure your reality, or remove its power to act, to cause you to wait for guidance from the appointed high priests and prophets (Beck, Hannity, Limbaugh, Obama, Bush, etc....)

I think this is what Foucault and Said were ultimately getting at in their writing, particularly Said in Orientalism, is that true power, in a sense, is the ability to enforce your own narrative and the power to make your voice heard. Ideas about what ideology is best, about whether a given culture is inferior or backwards, the necessity of an imperial nation to exert control over said cultures, all of these are things which aren't universally held to be true by any sense of things, but with power, you can force them to be accepted until they become conditioned.
