Glenn Beck Says ACORN Ninjas Are Trying to Kill Him
By John Cook, 3:50 PM on Wed May 13 2009, 15,460 views (Edit post, Set to draft, Slurp) Copy this whole post to another site

Just in case there was any doubt as to Glenn Beck's status as a paranoid charismatic who regards himself as a Christ-like figure, last night he predicted his own assassination on television.

It's pretty straightforward, really: ACORN is an international conspiracy of poor people who threaten to take over the world with shoddy voter registrations. Anyone who speaks out against ACORN—including a dissident member of the organization's Washington, D.C., arm who recently appeared on Beck's show—is "in danger."

And Beck is the top target, which is why he told his viewers: "If I'm ever in a weird car accident, or I commit suicide or something, after the media stops celebrating my death, could they check into it? Because I'm not suicidal. And I'm a pretty good driver."

" Accorn has been hijacked by a bunch of thieving criminals and are nothing more than a front organization to steal money from the US government. - As paraphrased by the two women Beck had interviewed on his show. They were there to ask why no one in Gov't is seeking to investigate this corrupt organization and why they were refused (one was fired) when asked to get an outside auditing firm to account for the groups finances.

" Glenn Beck had better not bother to buy green bananas these days because Acorn is going to show him the rougher side of community organizing.

People never used to take the brown shirts seriously either and they ended up in ovens. Of course they were just socialist community organizers as well. "

" Oh yes, HF, ACORN is comparable with Nazis.

Investigating something is one thing (the whole vote tampering schmozzle), claiming they're a dangerous organization who might threaten people, quite another. "

" A comparison between Acorn and pre-1933 Nazis is perfectly applicable. They are both commuity organizing bodies and both utilized vicious tactics. The only real difference is the degree of competence. Acorn grew from the roots of the slums and drug-houses and the only reason it has power is because of fear. Politicians fear Acorn because they have a history of inciting riots. In turn they get bought off by the corrupt law-makers until a new crop of thieves is bred. The Nazis were simply more focused than their cruder american counterparts. "

" Or you could say it grew from the roots of poverty and under-representation to ensure those less fortunate have a voice in government and social programs.

You are forgetting one very big difference between ACORN and Nazis - just who is ACORN trying to exterminate? Are they advocating for the murder of any group? Don't think so... "

" How do you know they don't have a list of those to be terminated? Any group that will incite riots is certainly capable of it. You don't need to worry until you start opposing them as well. "

" Quiz time: Who was responsible for creating this program?

Operation TIPS", a program which would organize a volunteer army of citizen lookouts to report "suspicious" activities to the federal government.


But the concept of people spying on their neighbors incenses civil liberties advocates.

" I know I know, but I'll let an American answer that one...

Still haven't been able to realistically compare ACORN to Nazi's - genocide's simply not on their agenda. If you think protesting foreclosures and crappy treatment of poor/poor neighbourhoods is inciting riots, I'd invite you to look to some REAL riots for comparison (hint - they usually involve violence, murder, destruction - hockey and football fans are responsible for more rioting violence than ACORN).
