Glenn Beck Takes Godwin's Law to New Heights
The contemporary version of Godwin's Law states that as an argument on the Internet grows longer, the odds that someone compares someone else to Hitler or the Nazis approaches one. The corollary is that whoever mentions Hitler first usually loses. Godwin's Law and Reductio ad Hitlerum are sly ways that the Internet and its denizens shame/lampoon needless hyperbole and its overheated practitioners.
Glenn Beck either doesn't get it or doesn't care. The man does not understand shame, good taste, or, frankly, how journalism works. Wednesday night, he accompanied his rantings about how America is descending into fascism under President Obama (which sound nutty and militia-ish, but were aired on Fox News) with over a minute of full screen images of Nazi foot soldiers marching in lockstep. It is completely over the top and completely unacceptable. Watch below (via Think Progress):
I say we rename it Beck's Law. Godwin's Law has been blown to pieces.
April Fools!
It must have been an April Fools joke!
Hilarious
This guy's got the IQ of a ground squirrel

This is a test comment
Sorry, Jonathan, just testing the comments function. my own thoughts re Glenn Beck are unprintable.
No More Mr. Nice Guy
When folks are basing their worldview on the psychotic rantings of a man who believes the president is a racist socialist who wants to indoctrinate your children, you know they may be too far gone to consider wasting Self Storage your time trying to change their minds. If you honestly believe it is better for your children to get their lessons from Fox News, where porn stars and Playboy models are considered good representatives for political panels, well perhaps you need to reassess how you raise your children.
Thanks!
RE:No More Mr. Nice Guy
Self Storage
It’s time to let the adults sit down and take care of business. You’re simply not going to get a bi-partisan bill passed that will actually do anything to reform our health care system. The belligerent, unreasonable wing of our country is still bitter from the sweeping victory the president achieved last November. He must focus and put through the reforms that he promised during his campaign. The time has come to tune out the opposition and do exactly what he was elected to do.
thanks!
I love how its not alright
I love how its not alright to label "the annointed one" in any negative light, you know...the guy that sends chills up the legs of supposedly real journalists (not commentators of opinion shows), but you same people thought it perfectly fine to say Bush was akin to Hitler, conspired to bring about 9/11, and is murderer ect....but then again when has the political left in this nation not been overrun with hippocracy! For the record I didn't vote for McCain either but rather the only candidate who actually stood on Constitutional principles, one Bob Barr.
PS...go look up socialism cus the last time I checked Obama's world view and policy advocacy fit the model.
