Glenn Beck Is a Sell-Out, and Sarah Palin Is Playing Both Sides: October 2010

Morality and majority vote are not the same thing. But Beck thinks they are. And that’s where he reveals his statism and his socialism. Majority vote is the very basis of socialism. But true libertarians know that even 95 percent of a county can be wrong. And the important fight is to win the war in the hearts and minds of people with truth and actual engagement of the details, not sweeping things under the rug, arguing about slippery slopes, or playing clips of a handful of people. Beck does not realize he is a socialist. It is an unstated assumption of his that of course we should leave it up to the people. We’ve tried that, Glenn. When people can vote themselves your property, they will. The fundamental tenet of socialism is that whatever the people say is right. The fundamental tenet of libertarianism is that the initiation of force is wrong. By explicitly and continually arguing that we need to all make a decision together, Beck has shown himself to be a socialist at heart. It is almost as if he is saying, "Look, I would prefer freedom, but if the people vote for socialism, then that’s okay." Glenn, it is not okay. - Dr. Phil Maymin, Glenn Beck the Socialist, September 16, 2010

Glenn Beck Repackages Alex Jones’ Ideas

Russia Today

Conservative talk-show host Glenn Beck kicked off his “Restoring America” tour in New Jersey to a modest crowd of around 700 people. And, it has now come to light that Glenn Beck and his staff listen to Alex Jones’s radio show for ideas.

What does Jones think about a big star from the highest rated cable news network using his ideas? Well, he isn’t honored.

Jones explained that Glenn Beck uses his ideas and repackages them in a way that pulls away from true libertarianism and the constitution. Beck uses his version of the ideas to argue that Republicans are the real change, Jones however believes they are not change at all.

According to Naomi Wolf: "The Karl Rove - Dick Cheney cabal is using Sarah Palin as a stalking horse to put a popular, populist face on the coming police state and to be the talk show hostess for the end of elections as we know them. Time magazine reported that Rove is 'dialed in' to the McCain campaign. Rove's protégé Steve Schmidt is now campaign manager. And Politico reported that Rove was heavily involved in McCain's vice presidential selection. Finally a new report shows that there are dozens of Bush and Rove operatives surrounding Sarah Palin and orchestrating her every move. How, you may ask, can I argue, as I now do, that there is actually a war being ramped up against U.S. citizens and our democracy and that Sarah Palin is the figurehead and muse for that war? Look at the RNC. This is supposed to be McCain's America. But you see the unmistakable theatre of Rove's S and M imagery—and you see stages eight, nine and ten of the steps to a dictatorship as I outlined them in The End of America.

According to an article in Time magazine in November 2007, Republicans were organized in several states to throw their weight behind Senator Barack Obama, one of several candidates competing against Senator Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination. While Karl Rove's name isn't mentioned in the story, several former fundraisers and strategists for President Bush are identified. (The Times of London reported several Bush heavyweights backing Obama earlier in the year.) With the help of Wall Street investment firms, these gentlemen flushed Obama's coffers with cash early on in the race, something conservative deep pockets had not done for any candidate in their own party. His receipts topped $100 million in 2007—not bad for a little known freshman senator. To expedite the Rove strategy, a website and discussion forum called "Republicans for Obama" formed in 2006. The executive director of New Hampshire's Republican Party, Stephen DeMaura, later established "Stop Hillary Clinton (One Million Strong Against Hillary)" on Facebook.
