At least this is the way I see it. Glen Beck has recently tried to link 'communists' with 'radical Islamists' or 'terrorists'. The roots of this go back to the Bush administration and the Patriot Act. Linking political dissidents with "terrorists" the US government can throw your rights out of the window. The government can seize assets, arrest and detain you with no charges and even take the assets of any person offering "material support" to you (your family).
It's not like Obama is against this ongoing assault on (so called) democratic rights:

The arrest of Chicago activists by the Obama administration is also telling. Basically what I see happening is a move by the US Media/government to step up the propaganda against radicals/revolutionaries and the overall discontent population they're about to create via the attacks on workers pay/benefits/jobs.
He even throws the term "economic terrorism" around at the 2:40 mark in the video below:
