Just for fun, and to show how insanely alternate-universe-bent the man is, here's just a few. Anyone who wants to contribute, provide further giggles:
***********************
Beck: “We call them progressives now, but back in Samuel Adams’ day, they used to call them tyrants. A little later, I think they’re also called slave owners.”
At least a dozen of the “founding fathers”, at least 12 (maybe more) of the 56 signatories to the Constitution, owned slaves.
***********************
Glenn Beck praises an obsolete provision of the U.S. Constitution that prohibited Congress from outlawing the slave trade before 1808 and capped taxes on the slave trade at $10 per slave. In his explanation of the provision, Beck does not mention slavery, saying instead that the provision means that the Founders apparently “felt like there was a value to being able to live here” and lamenting: “Not anymore. These days we can’t ask anything of immigrants — including that they abide by our laws.”
************************
He told his audience for several weeks running that he “could not disprove” the existence of concentration camps run by FEMA in which conservatives were to be rounded up.
************************
He accused Al Gore of creating a new “Hitler youth” by promoting environmental awareness among young people.
