BECK SEES A 'COUP'.... It's certainly possible that Glenn Beck doesn't know what the word "coup" means. The poor guy does, after all, think "oligarhy" is a word. In fact, confusion over the meaning of the word might actually make Beck's wild-eyed rants less incoherent. "Coup d'etat" is, after all, of French origins, and Beck probably hates the French enough to use their idioms incorrectly. Nevertheless, Beck today told listeners of his radio show that President Obama is seizing power as part of a "coup." As the self-described "rodeo clown" insisted on the air, there is "a revolution going on, and it is coming." Beck believes "they" believe "they can get away with it quietly." He didn't identify who "they" are, but it's probably safe to assume it has something to do with ACORN. He doesn't like ACORN. The "revolution" that "they" hope to launch may work, Beck said, because "they are so far ahead of us." He lamented, "Most of America doesn't have a clue as to what's going on." So true, so true. Beck was kind enough to fill us in: "There is a stealing of America, and the way it is done, it has been done through the -- the guise of an election, but they lied to us the entire time. Some of us knew! Some of us we're shouting out, you were: 'This guy's a Marxist!' 'No, no, no, no, no, no. And they're gonna say, 'We did it democratically,' and they are going to grab power every way they can. And God help us in an emergency." I'm still not quite sure what it is the administration has done that has Beck on the verge of hysteria. Chances are, he doesn't remember, either.

DRAWING THE LINE.... A radical political website called WorldNetDaily is known for its bizarre commentary on current events, and its latest "story," pushed by Jerome Corsi, is that the Obama administration is considering Nazi-like concentration camps for dissidents. Jon Henke, a prominent conservative blogger and Republican strategist, has seen enough. In the 1960's, William F. Buckley denounced the John Birch Society leadership for being "so far removed from common sense" and later said "We cannot allow the emblem of irresponsibility to attach to the conservative banner." The Birthers are the Birchers of our time, and WorldNetDaily is their pamphlet. The Right has mostly ignored these embarrassing people and organizations, but some people and organizations inexplicably choose to support WND through advertising and email list rental or other collaboration.... No respectable organization should support the kind of fringe idiocy that WND peddles. Those who do are not respectable. I think it's time to find out what conservative/libertarian organizations support WND through advertising, list rental or other commercial collaboration (email me if you know of any), and boycott any of those organizations that will not renounce any further support for WorldNetDaily. Good for Jon Henke. The more prominent conservatives say "Enough" to fringe trash, the better it will be for the political discourse and the American mainstream. There is, however, a small catch. Henke argues that those who advertise on WorldNetDaily shouldn't be considered "respectable," and deserve to be boycotted. That's an entirely defensible position, but the Republican National Committee is one of the entities that does business with WorldNetDaily. Indeed, they partnered on a mailing as recently as last week. Perhaps Henke's call will encourage the RNC to reconsider its relationship with "fringe idiocy"?

It’s Ugly Out There By David Weigel 8/31/09 9:45 AM Constituents of Rep. Eric Massa (D-N.Y.), a Democrat who won a Republican-leaning district in 2008, wrote in to the Democrat & Chronicle newspaper to dish on the ugly details of a recent town hall. Massa, trying to explain the legislation and his views, was roundly booed, even when he was first introduced. Many even shouted down his request for 10 seconds of silence in respect for Sen. Kennedy’s death. Jared Smith, a spokesman for Massa, confirmed that account of the meeting. “Some people participated in the moment of silence, and some people were shouting,” he said. He did say that after a half hour or so, after the louder members of the crowd “got it out of their system,” the meeting turned out “pretty civil.” – washingtonindependent.com
