Gettin' old, but still a hippie at heart...

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.

Shhh! You'll upset him.

"I thoroughly disapprove of duels. If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet place and kill him."
