Is Glenn Beck back on drugs?
He is certainly talking stupidly for no reason if he isn’t. Check out what he has to say about Ron Paul’s “money bomb” and libertarian websites like Lew Rockwell’s.
Lew Rocwell posted a response:
Beck actually said that the US military may have to be used against the growing threat of domestic terrorism: Ron Paul donors. Why? Because there is a “rising tide of disenfranchisement” (sic) and Ron’s volunteers raised $4.3 million in one day “to commemorate Guy Fawkes” in a “money bomb.” Of course, no American knows anything about the English Catholic rebel of four centuries ago. The donors were referencing the movie and graphic novel, V for Vendetta.
Then Beck says he a libertarian in his heart and it’s OK to raise money anyway you want, so long as you are not “blowing people up.” This from a guy who advocates blowing people up every day, so long as they’re Arabs
Then comes a plummy Brit who I think is one of Bertie Wooster’s friends from the Drones Club. Then Beck gets to the real point: we are a right-wing peace movement. And being for peace means you want to kill people, whereas being for war means you want peace, if I may distill the agitprop.
Indeed, we are seeing Murray Rothbard’s dream come true; the Old Right, the pre-neocon, pre-Buckley right is back: for freedom and peace, sound money and keeping the fruits of your labor.
Next David Horowitz decries the “strain of isolationism and anarchism” in America, especially as represented by “libertarian websites like LewRockwell.com,” which are “totally in bed with the Islamofascists and have turned against this country.” By country, of course, he means the imperial presidency’s war-spying-torturing-taxing-planning apparatus.
As a concerned libertarian American who supports Ron Paul with time and cash for the Republican Party nomination, I take issue with Mr. Beck’s insinuation that I might be a threat to our country. I don’t think that Mr. Beck is a bad guy, but given his history of drug abuse, I’m concerned that perhaps he’s relapsed. Delusional disorders are sometimes induced or exacerbated by drug abuse.
Whatever the circumstances of Mr. Beck’s personal health, I hope he gets the help he so obviously needs. You can’t just run around spouting non-truths, drumming up fear and expect people, even “heartless” libertarian people, not to be concerned about your mental health.

Ron Paul is honest and a true Libertarian, maybe that’s what scares Beck. I’m not conservative or a Libertarian, but I repect paul for being true yo his beliefs. Glenn, like other conservatives are hypocrites. They talk about small government and reeling in spending, but they only mean it when it comes to spending money here in our own country, They neglect to notice how much money is being spent on war and occupation by us around the world. They want to throw as much money as they can for that purpose. The only differece between a conservative and a Democrat is where the money should be spent, not if it should be spent.
[...] CNN couldn’t resist playing the Huckster’s death threat on the ticker during Glenn Beck’s hour-long plea to save face with the American people after labeling them “terrorists”. [...]
