Hysterical demagogue Glenn Beck continued his verbal assault against Progressives this week by calling them “a virus” that feeds “on the host of the Republic, and in this case, the Democratic Party.”
Of course, this isn’t the first time Beck has used this hate speech against Progressives. Media Matters has done an excellent job documenting the venom consistently spewed by Fox’s newest ratings darling.
Previously, Beck has called Progressivism the “poison that’s killing our Constitution,” and remarked “We’ve got to irradiate it.” He claims Progressives are “going to deal a final death blow to the Constitution if they can.” He describes Progressives as “sucking the blood out of the Republic,” and accuses them of possessing a “playbook” containing the strategies of how to “lie, cheat,” and “steal.”
This is Beck’s style. As Alexander Zaitchik details in this excellent series, Beck is a former shlock jock who makes a living saying the most outrageous thoughts that pop into his little brain — not to inspire intelligent discourse — but to drum up ratings. This quest to be on top knows no boundaries.
