Loonballs are going batshit insane over Beck

I was looking at my traffic today, seeing how visitors to my blog are getting here, when I opened a Google search from one of the visitors to see what else was in the results. Holy shit.

I took a look at a few of the other results, just to get a feel for what others thought of the segment. Here are a few examples:

"Wild nonsense on the Glenn Beck Show crowds out any rational critique of Obamacare. If I were a guest, I wouldn't be able to keep a straight face through something like this." -quicksilber

"So, in Beck's world, Obama's health care reforms are now equivalent to Nazi Eugenics. I'm so pleased that this debate is remaining reasonable." -The Osterley Times

"The allegations Beck made against Emmanuel were typical of his fact-free, hate-filled diatribes. Beck selectively cites passages from Emmanuel’s writings and deposits them about as far from any honest context as he can get. For instance, he alleges that Emmanuel supports rationing of scarce heath care resources based on age or the patient’s projected productivity or some other unspecified cost/benefit analysis. The truth is, Emmanuel’s writings referred specifically to critical situations that required the most difficult decision making." -News Corpse

I responded with this:

“Emmanuel’s writings referred specifically to critical situations that required the most difficult decision making.”

And if you actually listened to Glenn (I know, he is a bit out there sometimes), you would realize that he understands this. That is why he he has mentioned catastrophes (either physical or economic) that would allow the government to make a power grab, just as the neocons did after September 11. Like Rahm said, “you never want a serious crisis to go to waste”.

I would offer this up, though:

“Accepting the complete lives system for health care as a whole would be premature.”

That is from “Principles for allocation of scarce medical interventions”, the paper co-authored by Dr. Emanuel that Beck was quoting from. Have you read it? I have. He says accepting the complete lives system for the entire system would be “premature”. He does not say it would be “impossible” or “impractical”, he says “premature”.

"And he makes plain that he completely supports Sarah Palin's intimations of "death panels" and subscribes to her view that universal health care will bring about euthanasia. In other words, he's a "deather." -Crooks and Liars

"Tonight I watched Glenn Beck utter some of the most hateful propaganda I have ever seen. If he was on any other station, he would have been fired. Hell, if this had been someone talking about the Bush administration, they would have been jailed. First he ran a segment equating public health care to Nazi Eugenics. He actually used his own disabled daughter to back up his lies at one point, implying that public health care would kill her. Every other sentence was "I'm not saying the Democrats are going to kill your grandmother" or something to that effect, but it was always followed with a "but" and then an explanation of how the Democrats are in fact going to try and kill your grandmother. This is clearly the equivalent to shouting "fire" in a crowded theater. He is specifically trying to incite an uprising against the Obama administration. Glenn Beck has become a truly dangerous individual and a traitor. This is not "partisanship" anymore, this is clearly an attempt to incite insurrection against the government of the United States. I ask all of you, if you don't want to see a violent coup d'tat attempt in this country, to call FoxNews and all of their advertisers calling for the immediate removal of Glenn Beck from the air." -some retarded dumbass on some retarded message board

This one takes the cake, gong so far as labeling Beck a traitor. But that is generally how the far-left (and far-right, for that matter) operate. They try to squelch as much dissent and criticism as possible.
