Does Al Roker Have It Out for Ben Lyons?
In case you
missed it the other day, on his Fox News program Glenn Beck linked
health care reform to 9-11, likening legislation designed to better
the lives of Americans to a fuel-laden passenger jet striking the World Trade
Center, and casting himself, as the leader of his 9-12 cult, as the only person
standing in the way of disaster.
It's the
type of deluded and offensive narcissism that we've come to expect from Beck,
and normally I wouldn't have given it a whole lot of thought afterwards, but
something else caught my ear in the middle of Beck's rant as he tried to cast
himself as some sort of latter-day Cassandra whose prophetic warnings about bin
Laden fell on deaf ears: “In the 1990s, I was on the radio warning people
about Osama bin Laden, not because I was some super-smart genius. I just
listened to the man's words. I really believed him. But that wasn't the top of
the priority list in America
– no, no, no. We were dealing with the fat interns and the definition of is,
and I like the rest of America
went back to sleep on the terrorist threat.”
It just so
happens that Glenn Beck has on his website a section called “Classic
Beck,” which contains selected audio recordings of Beck's radio
programs going back several years. One of those recordings is from August 22,
1998, and is described as follows: “Glenn debuts on the WABC in New York City. Glenn
discusses the recent U.S.
attacks on Afghanistan and Sudan
and if the American people are ready for the upcoming War on Terrorism.” And it
just so happens that near the beginning of this recording, Beck comments on
Osama bin Laden:
BECK: Now, another newspaper in Pakistan says that it received a
statement for the–from the spokesperson for Azma bin Ladin . Is that is
name? Bin Ladin? Bin Ladeen? Bin jelly bean, green bean, Mr. Clean? I love him.
He's hot. He says he's ready for war with the U.S. Oh yes? Thank you Mr. Baked
Bean.A respected newspaper quotes the statement as follows: “The war has just
started, and Americans should wait for the answer.” Now, Mr. Ozma Dig-my-scene,
I don't even know what the question was! Was the question “is my turban on too
tight?” Yes! I think it is. The blood's not pumping around the whole brain.
Loosen the turban, Mr. Clean, dig my scene. Oh yes, let's look at the latrine.
Does this
sound like Beck was “warning” about bin Laden and taking his words seriously?
Now, consider the time period - it's late August 1998, just a few weeks after
the Al Qaeda bombings of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, and President
Clinton just launched
cruise missiles into Afghanistan and Sudan in retaliation. If there was
ever a time in the '90s when terrorism was the focus of America's attention, this was it.
And Glenn Beck, debuting on WABC, used that time to make silly jokes about bin
Laden's name and dismiss his threats as a symptom of an overly tight
turban.
But the
Glenn Beck of August 1998 doesn't jibe with the Glenn Beck of 2009, who
desperately wants to be taken seriously as the last remaining bulwark against
the rising tide of socialism or fascism or statism or whatever. So Beck simply
rewrote his own history. Ironically, it was the actual historical records that
Beck maintains on his own website that undermined his attempt at revisionism.
On last night's Daily Show, Jon Stewart laid out his take on the terrifying Glenn Beck Appendectomy Conspiracy, RAISING THE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS over how maybe it was all “a plot by Hitler to steal Glenn Beck from all of us internal organ by internal organ by internal organ and then reprogram him to use as a weapon.” But maybe Stewart was only scratching the surface of this conspiracy! Let's all RAISE SOME QUESTIONS over whether or not actual Marxists were, in fact, rooting around inside Glenn Beck's body and mind.
Yesterday morning, Glenn Beck communicated with the world, in his patented Pidgin Twitter, saying:
Nvr a gdnight sleep in the hospital but always easier w/family, prayers and AMAZING drs/nurses. They didn't even cut off my feet!!
Amazing nurses, eh? Amazingly anti-American, maybe! Alexander Zaitchik is RAISING SUSPICIONS:
The quality of care he is receiving should not have come as a surprise. When Beck complained of acute abdominal pain during his radio program on Wednesday, he was rushed to a nearby hospital. The security-conscious Beck has not disclosed the name of the facility, but it's a safe bet that it is staffed by proud members of a storied union: New York's Local 1199, aka United Healthcare Workers East, which belongs to the Service Employees International Union. The SEIU has organized all of Manhattan's major hospitals, including every facility to which Beck could have conceivably been sent.
It probably has not occurred to Beck to link his kind, efficient nurses to something as dastardly as the SEIU. As recently as Wednesday, he was busy smearing the union with his usual verbal feces. For the past several months, on radio and television, Beck has cast the SEIU, the country's largest union, as a Toxic Avenger-looking bogeyman in his conspiratorial fantasyland. In the progressive plot of Beck's imagination, the “radical, Marxist” SEIU is conspiring with ACORN “thugs” to destroy the freedoms guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution and turn this country into North Korea–or worse.
Now, I don't know if the “amazing nurses” that tended to Glenn Beck were SEIU members or not. But the following infotaining factoid simply can not be ignored! No one has been inside the Obama White House more than SEIU prexy Andy Stern. Now, Andy Stern has, through Marxist nurse proxies, gained access inside Glenn Beck's body! WHAT DOES ACORN WANT WITH GLENN BECK'S PRECIOUS BODILY FLUIDS?
Later that same morning, Beck tweeted: “I just realized my tonsils are missing. Man, I wish I were as rich as M. Moore i could've had some of that sweet Castro Care he loves.” But, Glenn Beck is as rich as Michael Moore! Or at least he was, before he received sweet Castro Care, from Maoist nurses that he now refers to as — AND I QUOTE — “AMAZING.”
All right, here's the kicker. Do you know the name of the planet on which all of this occurred? Give up? IT WAS EARTH!!

Want to know how the left really feels about free speech? Look no further than Huffington Post editor and co-founder Arianna Huffington. Huffington appeared on MSNBC's Nov. 19 “Countdown” to discuss a report by the Anti-Defamation League that alleges Fox News host Glenn Beck is “the most important mainstream media figure who has repeatedly helped to stoke fires of anti-government anger” and therefore endangering society. “It would be nice to think of Glenn Beck just as a joke, as fodder for this show and the “Daily Show” and others that point out how stupid some of this stuff is,” “Countdown” host Keith Olbermann said. “But this report, you know, suggests something else, this is - fear-monger-in-chief term is frightening.” Huffington agreed with Olbermann's assertion, but she took it a step further and suggested Beck's alleged fear-mongering warrants an exemption from the First Amendment, otherwise known as the “shouting fire in a crowded theater” precedent. “It is frightening,” Huffington replied. “Well, I would say the fear-monger-in-chief title should still be reserved for Dick Cheney, even in retirement. But barring that, there is something that we need to really pay attention to with Glenn Beck. We cannot just dismiss him. Because the truth of the matter is that there is a good reason why we have an exemption to the free speech protection by the First Amendment when we say you cannot shout 'fire' in a crowded theater.” Huffington declared that likening Obama's policies to ideologies prominent in Europe during the 20th Century, or anything else with an “-ism” attached to it is “irresponsible.” “And he's doing that every night. He's basically using images of violence to bring together with all that he's accusing the Obama administration of, which varies from racism to communism, Nazism and everything else in between. So, all that has definitely an impact. I believe words matter, language matters and he's using it in incredibly irresponsible ways night after night.”
Some believe that the Green Party helped elect Bush to his first term while others believe that it was Gore's election to lose. The other prominent third party is the Libertarians. They truly believe in the least amount of government.
The Greens are progressive. Ecology is only one part of their platform. They also believe in racial diversity, a living wage, and laws and policies expressed in a humanitarian manner, locally, nationally, and globally.
Libertarians believe that citizens should have complete control over their actions as long as their actions do not interfere with the actions of others. In other words, you have your rights as long as they don't interfere with other people's rights.
Greens are what the Democrats think they are and Libertarians are what the Republicans aspire to be.
However, these are not the only third parties. Third Parties have been around since the founding of the United States.
The Constitution makes no mention of political parties. This was a smart move; it would be anti-Constitutional to show any preference to any political party.
The first two political parties were the Federalists and the Democrat-Republicans. The Federalists believed in a strong central government and the Democrat-Republicans believed in strong states' rights.
Issues, disagreements, and beliefs are the reasons for the major political parties and the third parties. Some past third parties include: Anti-Masonic Party, Free Soil Party, Union Party (merged with another third party - the Republicans), Whigs, the Know-Nothing Party (also known as the American Party), Dixiecrats (also known as the States' Rights Democrats), the Progressive Party, and the Bull Moose Party.
What did these third parties believe in? What were their causes and goals?
The first third party was the Anti-Masonic party (1831). They were also the first third party to hold a national convention.
They didn't like the secrecy of the Masons. They believed this group to be un-American.
William Wirt (Anti-Masonic) ran against Andrew Jackson in the 1832 election. He didn't win but he carried Vermont. This election featured 3 candidates: Andrew Jackson (Democrat), Henry Clay (National Republican), and William Wirt (Anti-Masonic).
Abraham Lincoln (originally a member of the Whig Party) won the presidency as a Republican; a third party that was against slavery in the territories but upheld slavery in the South. Lincoln was also a member of the Union Party whose goal was “the Constitution as it is and the Union as it is”. Members of the Whig Party and the Know-Nothing Party formed this party.
This election featured 4 candidates: Abraham Lincoln (Republican), Stephen Douglas (Democrat), John C. Breckinridge (Southern Democrat), and John Bell (Constitutional Unionist). Lincoln won and Douglas came in last behind the Southern Democrat and Constitutional Unionist candidates.
The Free Soil Party (1846-1854) as the name suggests, was anti-slavery. They opposed the expansion of slavery into the new states (the western territories), as they became part of the Union.
Martin Van Buren, our eighth president, a Democrat, served one term from 1836-1840. He ran as a Free Soil candidate in the 1848 presidential election and lost.
This election featured 3 candidates: Zachary Taylor (Whig), Martin Van Buren (Free Soil), and Lewis Cass (Democrat). Taylor won the election with Van Buren finishing second.
The Know-Nothing Party (also known as the American Party) was popular during the 1850s. They believed in setting limits to immigration and naturalized citizenship. They received their moniker by adhering to a simple rule - if people asked them about the party, they were told to say that they know nothing.
The party dissolved in 1856. The pro-slavery members joined the Democrats and the anti-slavery members joined the Republicans.
The Whig Party was formed in opposition to President Andrew Jackson. Andrew Jackson was very popular, had a strong personality, and was not afraid to use it.
His opponents interpreted his strong personality negatively and saw him as a king. They also believed in a strong national bank; Jackson didn't believe in a central bank. He favored state banks.
Andrew Jackson was a popular and strong candidate. His presidency was the beginning of the modern Democrat Party.
The Whig Party dissolved over the issue of slavery. The Northern Whigs (anti-slavery) joined the Republicans and the Know-Nothing Party and the Southern Whigs (pro-slavery) joined the Democrats.
The Republican Party incorporated a variety of different political parties. These parties included: the Free Soil Party, some of the Know-Nothing Party, and some of the Whigs (the Northern Whigs).
Theodore Roosevelt served 2 terms as president from 1901-1908. In 1912, he accepted the nomination of the Bull Moose Party. This party believed in progressive politics. The party consisted of a group of liberal Republicans who were against the conservative policies of the Republican president William Taft.
The 1912 election was a 4-person race. It included the Democrat, Woodrow Wilson, the Republican, William Taft, the Bull Moose, Theodore Roosevelt, and the Socialist, Eugene Debs.
Roosevelt lost, but received 25% of the vote. Woodrow Wilson won the election with Roosevelt finishing second.
Strom Thurmond ran as a Dixiecrat (also known as the States' Rights Democrats) in the 1948 presidential election. The Dixiecrats were an extremely conservative faction of the Democrat Party. They opposed the Democrats' civil rights program.
The 1948 election featured 4 candidates: Harry Truman (Democrat), Thomas Dewey (Republican), Strom Thurmond (Dixiecrat), and Henry Wallace (Progressive Party). Truman won the election but Strom Thurmond received over 1 million votes, carried 4 states, and won 39 electoral votes.
Third parties are essential ingredients for our political process. They draw attention to issues and causes that the major parties ignore. They invigorate and introduce people to the political process. They are a perfect example of free speech.
Many citizens join third parties because they believe both the Democrats and the Republicans don't represent them. If it weren't for third parties, they wouldn't be part of the political process.
Third parties also spotlight the question - Can a two party system represent the interests of all Americans? If 51% vote for one party and 49% for the other party, did the majority really win?
Most countries have a parliamentary form of government. Parliaments have many parties representing both diverse and minority points of view. While there will be no parliament in the United States, maybe there needs to be more parties to represent the diversity of the United States.
History is like fashion; it repeats itself. Political dissent is not new. Third parties are not new. As long as we have one, we will have the other.
