The perfect storm is finally here again
http://mediamatters.org/blog/201011300034

November 30, 2010 3:59 pm ET by Jocelyn Fong

After asserting that the Senate had committed a "crime in broad daylight" by passing the food safety bill this morning, Glenn Beck announced today that the "perfect storm" he's been warning about for five years "is here" and it's about time to "close the ark door":

BECK: The time that I told you would come of the perfect storm is here. And I want to outline it for you today and I want to show you what you can do. And I tell you - I said to the guys, I'm almost to the point to where I say close the ark door. Launch the lifeboats. Whatever analogy you want. Close the bunker door.

You know the point in the Wizard of Oz where they're like 'Dorothy, Dorothy' and Uncle Henry or whatever his name was is like, 'Come on Em, we got to get into the shelter.' And they get into the shelter and they close the door and Dorothy has to fend for herself because the storm is here. It's about time to get Em and go down to the cellar because the storm is here. The one we've been telling you about for five years. It's here. And Wikipedia is just a part of it ... sorry, WikiLeaks.

2. Remember who died the last time the Ark was opened
Nazis and what a surprise who has popped their ugly heads up again? The Nazi's in the form of Glen Beck and his tea baggers.

4. And while Uncle Henry and Aunt Em are hiding in the dark
Dorothy goes on a wondrous adventure, meets all sorts of strange and exciting folks, and learns a few splendid life lessons.

Go hide in your cellar, you malevolent wimp. I'm gonna ride the cyclone.

8. Yep, I've always been afraid of Wikipedia too, Glenn.
Wish he really would get in the ark and close the door. If I remember my Bible stories, there was no contact with the outside world from in there.

13. Beck's statements = 'buy Gold, I get a cut'

he couldn't find his ruby slippers so he disappears into the cellar hoping for free grub

16. I caught this show yesterday. I cannot get over how effortlessly the BS flows.
He sold his soul and sold out his fellow Americans for all that cash.

Over the past couple of days, those on RW radio went absolutely apoplectic about the Food Safety Bill and Wikileaks. Was very interesting. One local asshat host asked his listeners to sympathize with Cargill. Lol!

17. Glenn is an idiot
Everybody, repeat after me, Glenn is an idiot.

He'a actually trying to spread panic over a food safety bill?

This man has no brain whatsoever.
