Glenn Beck's Mob Rule

[Swede]

Republicans are now benefiting from the tens of thousands of angry white people who descended on Washington over the weekend—but they’ve tapped into something ugly that they can’t control, says John Avlon.

The weirdness of the Wingnut summer isn’t over. The anger has metastasized into the body politic, and it’s going to get a lot uglier from here.

Obama Derangement Syndrome is establishing itself as a potent political force, able to rally tens of thousands of citizens to the Washington Mall after Glenn Beck’s call. Joe Wilson’s outburst isn’t an embarrassment of incivility to these folks; it is a rallying cry for an army of useful idiots. But Republicans will soon find that they cannot contain or moderate this strain—while Democrats won’t understand what hit them.

1. At the risk of being pounced upon for being hysterical,

the conservatives in 1920s Germany thought they could control the NSDAP, and liked the way their rallies could stir up the populace, figuring it gave them an edge in the Reichstag.

I wonder who thinks they are in control of the Teabaggers and Beck?

2. I know beck is a bully, but I blame his boss's at fox news for let this get out of control!

Buy all means I'm NOT defending beck.
