OK, Glenn Beck's off his meds! He thinks half the world's about to become The Marxist Caliphate!

You'll want to watch the YouTube in that link, if you can stomach it...

Talk about paranoid delusions!

It's a little tough to excerpt, but Media Matters flagged this gem, which helped capture Beck's vision: "I believe that I can make a case in the end that there are three powers that you will see really emerge. One, a Muslim caliphate that controls the Mideast and parts of Europe. Two, China, that will control Asia, the southern half of Africa, part of the Middle East, Australia, maybe New Zealand, and God only knows what else. And Russia, which will control all of the old former Soviet Union bloc, plus maybe the Netherlands. I'm not really sure. But their strong arm is coming. That leaves us and South America. What happens to us?"

The poor folks who watch Beck and actually listen to him received quite an education yesterday. China will seize New Zealand; Turkey is a dictatorship; Hamas will take over Saudi Arabia; and there's some kind of connection linking uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt with debt crises in Greece.

All of this, of course, is the fault of "Marxist communists" -- as opposed to, say, Marxists and communists -- Muslims, and progressives. Indeed, Beck insisted that the events only he can see are "coordinated."

1. Egyptian guest on Thom Hartmann explained him the

best. He said that Glenn Beck was filling his viewers with nonsense. No hyperbole but a simple word to describe all these right wing screechers and their BS.

3. The clip of him talking about the Marxist Caliphate was more impressive than most of his rants.

On most days, he's incoherent, and spouting conspiracy theories.

This one is just spectacular.

2. Glenn Becks mental problems come directly from the death of his mother

by alcohol and now he wants the world to end...his way. I have placed Beck up there with Jack Van Impe now. He is now not worthy to lick the shit off of Bill O' Reilly's $500 dollar loafers. Glenn is no pundit or expert...he is a mental case and should be viewed as hostile to America and innocent people all over the world.

4. He said Caliphant then Caliphate. He is BARKING MAD! nt

5. Think he's gonna be even more batshit today?

He was spreading the bullshit thick yesterday, with the Marxist Caliphate schtick.

Well, he's got to keep the fear and paranoia alive for his corporate masters somehow...

6. Isn't Marxist Caliphate an oxymoron?

Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah that man is fugging crazy.

7. Pretty much! He just mashes all the scary buzzwords together at every opportunity! n/t

8. Who is this guy? Why does anyone watch him?

9. It would be sort of fun if he actually crapped his pants on tv.

C'mon, Glenn! Think of the ratings!
