He's manipulating people in the same way the fascists did in Italy. He's been co-opting the teabagger movement and now he's got that whole 9/12 movement going on, and he's been using his lies to whip up a lot of aggression on the part of a lot of fairly unbalanced people, and he's using that energy to try to get both Obama and health care reform killed.

He's got one of my sisters thoroughly manipulated. She's turning into an intellectual zombie. She's never been all that big on critical thinking, but now, not only has she abandoned it entirely, Beck has her believing that by drinking his koolaid, that's the equivalent of critical thinking. It's grotesque.
