Glenn hit a new low today on his radio show.
He went into a whole conspiracy theory about how Obama is purposely keeping us in Iraq and Afghanistan(two wars he didn't want us to pull out of back in Nov) in order to fulfill a manifesto written by the Weather Underground. If we over extend our Miliatary we are one step closer to world communism, and then went on a tangent of how this is inlign with Black Liberation.
He says we're dealing with "pure evil".

Speaking of which, why exactly are we there? We are not going to win this one. I know it, President Obama knows it, so why stay? Bin Lauden is either dead or a well hidden folk hero.

The answer to that question is complicated and may be answered differently depending on whether you talk to say Strongbow or Irvine. In any case it's best saved for one of the other threads on that topic.
However, just to head off Beck's logic. Let's say for a moment that this preposterous theory of his was true. Obama, in his nefarious effort to overextend and weaken the United States military and pave the way for World Communism, would have to have the support of virtually all of the top military leaders in the region including Petreaus. These leaders have been vocal supporters of staying the course and would like to be there long enough to "get the job done." They are NOT arguing "we need to leave" while Obama inexplicably insists on staying and ratcheting up the troop numbers. So they would definitely have to be part of the plot. However, most of these leaders were in place (and making the same arguments) before Obama even got into office. So either the plot would either have to have originated from within the military or Obama must have had far reaching power that went back well before he was elected that enabled him to secretly place his key allies in top military posts so that they would be ready to work with him after he orchestrated his own election to the presidency.
Sound absurd yet?

Thanks, didn't mean to go off topic. I have only been watching Glenn's show, for the past week. I don't agree with everything he says. Some of it is amusing, though. Like quoting Dr. Zeus. He must be a fan!
And yes that does sound absurd.

Beck freaks out about Six Flags' "Muslim Day," compares it to having "Japanese Day" after Pearl Harbor | Media Matters for America
"At the very minimum this is one of the worst PR moves of all time. A Six Flags amusement park is having a 'Muslim Family Day' which if that's what they want to do, great! BUT they've decided to have the festivities on September 12th - of ALL days, THIS is the one they pick? What in the world were they thinking?"
Attacking Muslims Is In Vogue Again Among Conservatives [UPDATED]
Hint: They were probably thinking that a Sunday in September might be a nice time for Muslim families to enjoy themselves at an amusement park?
UPDATE: Actually, it's perfectly logical. A reader emailed me with a reminder that September 12 coincides with the final day of Eid ul-Fitr, a holiday that "marks the end of Ramadan." Eid begins in North America on September 10 this year.
Beck would later take to his radio show to "elaborate" on this daft position, saying, "I can't imagine that in 1948, they would have had 'Japanese Day' at the water park on December 8th."

UPDATE: Here's a key piece of background on Six Flags Muslim Family Day, sent in by a reader, Gabe Small, via email.
History of the Event:
This event was first held at Six Flags Great Adventure, NJ, in September 2000. The event was immediately a huge success. The tragic events of 9/11 that resulted in the loss of thousands of innocent lives, also affected this event directly. The chief organizer, Tariq Amanullah, who worked on the 96th floor of WTC, Tower 2, passed away. The team was unable to come together again till year 2004, when the event came back bigger than ever before.
So, to reiterate: Six Flags Muslim Family Day began in the year 2000, and its chief organizer DIED IN THE SEPTEMBER 11th ATTACKS.

what seems to be lost on Beck is that the anti-Japanese prejudice is one of the great shames of World War II.
I'm surprised he isn't advocating internment camps.

He forgot about that. Must have been a brain fart.
No I believe he's just an idiot with selective memory and he uses it to push his ideology. He's kinda the "Poster Boy" for all that is wrong with the Republican/Conservative movement in my opinion.
BVS, I know you'll ask me and have in the past I just have been travelling a lot for work, but I do think the Republican Party has turned down a very dangerous path. They have lost sight of all of the ideals of the past and are being led by a terrible bunch ie Rush, Palin, Beck, Hannity and have followers like Benji2112. There is not a leader (Presidential candidate) in the whole bunch. I just wish there was a place for the more middle of the road Republican or even Democrat for that matter - I believe there are so many too far left wing or right wing idiots that the middle of the road guys just get pushed out.
I was just talking the other day with a business associate and he was telling me how great he thought Beck is and I told him that I thought he was a dangerous person - the vbile that he spews is just moronic.

OHHHHHHH, The biggest softball question of all-time.
Off the top of my head;
Maxine Waters who stated in a congressional hearing that "this liberal will be all about nationalizing oil companies."
Bernie Sanders of the Socialist Party
Alan Grayson. A partisan nut who called our healthcare system a "holocaust." Talk about lack of proportion.
Andre Carson. The black congressman that has been proven to had lied about being call the n-word 15 times.
The Black Caucus members that visit Cuba to pay their respects to Fidel Castro. Disgraceful.
Jim Mcdermott, who was actually flown into Iraq by Saddam Hussein to propagandize against the war. A 1st class tool.
Hank Johnson of Georgia who is concerned that global warming will cause the island of Guam to CAPSIZE.
Dennis Kucinich. Need I say more. As left-wing economically as you can get.
Then you have those "left-wing idiots" that are completely out-of-touch with Americans on health care, immigration, energy, the Tea Parties and government spending.
100 days and counting. 100 days and counting.

It is worrying that educated professionals sign up to the propaganda. Actually, in a sense it proves an old adage of mine that education systems are not really geared to produce well-rounded individuals but to produce drones with narrow specialisms in one particular field.
