Beck’s Very Own “Mein Kampf”

For someone who claims to hate anything that hints at socialism (aka Nazism), Glenn Beck sure does a lot of writing in and reading from his own personal journal. I’m sure his journal has a catchy name like “The Liberty Files” or some such goofy shit, but it just reminds me a little bit too much of Hitler’s “Mein Kampf.” The way he treasures it, the way he brings it out to read from. Beck probably keeps each finished journal in a hermetically sealed compartment so that one day it can be shared with the master race (aka White Republicans)(and no, his attempt to hijack “honor” the anniversary of MLK’s “I have a Dream Speech” doesn’t improve his racism).

His latest recitation of his personal thoughts came as commencement speaker at Liberty University’s graduation (a school that hired about to be disbarred, pro-life crazy, former Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline as a law professor). Interesting that they gave Glenn Beck, a college drop out, an honorary diploma whereas Arizona State didn’t think President Obama had achieved enough to merit a diploma from them.

Beck spoke to graduates for a whole of five minutes, crying through most of it. I think maybe the crying is a way to make his speeches seem longer so he doesn’t have to write as much. It only takes so long to say, “Socialist, Facist, Nazi, let’s go kick some non-American ass!” First, he made sure to tie President Obama to Hitler again. In his own commencement address President Obama said this of technology:

“With iPods and iPads and Xboxes and PlayStations, — none of which I know how to work — information becomes a distraction, a diversion, a form of entertainment, rather than a tool of empowerment, rather than the means of emancipation,’ Obama said.

Beck took this too mean Obama said there was “too much information.” Never mind the fact that he said information could be a means of emancipation, something Beck should know about seeing as how he is honoring MLK. I digress. So Beck says, “This is a course that has been charted before in the past and it always ends with those who are willing to burn books.”

Nazism. In case you missed the reference. That means Obama = Hitler. So Glenn’s settin’ you up to believe that Obama is the Hitler in this case. It’s all misdirection so that he can continue to promote his Mein Kampf and one day take over the world! Beck is the real Nazi! How do I know? Because Beck then whipped out his liberty journal and

read the audience passages from his journal that he had written for his daughter, urging her (and graduates) to “marry for God” and “always forgive.”

That was pretty creepy, but not as creepy as the time he read his journal to Sara Palin. And is it just me, or is he really having a hard time manufacturing the tears? Ah, Glenn, Hitler just yelled, he didn’t cry!
