Glenn Beck: David Carr Comments 'Lead To Mass Death' (VIDEO)

Glenn Beck said that a New York Times columnist's words on a recent episode of Bill Maher's show were the kind that "leads to death camps."

Media writer David Carr said some things he likely wished he hadn't on Friday's "Real Time." Responding to Bill Maher's angry comment about Chris Christie--Maher said that he was shocked that Christie was the governor of a "smart" state like New Jersey--Carr made a seeming crack about the Midwest.

"If it's Kansas, Missouri, no big deal," he said. "You know, that's the dance of the low-sloping foreheads. The middle places, right?" As the audience laughed nervously, Carr said, "Did I just say that aloud?"

Carr quickly apologized for the remarks in a Saturday tweet.

On his Monday show, Beck took Carr's words very seriously, tying them to what he described as a history of genocidal progressivism. (Beck has repeatedly connected the concept of progressivism to Nazism and eugenics.)

"This leads to death camps," he said. "these are the kinds of words that... always lead to mass death... why not kill the low-sloping foreheads?"

Carr's statement, he said, was an example of "the New York Times revealing themselves."

Towards the end of his comments, Beck noted that his time on Fox News is almost up. (His last day is Thursday.)

"We have four days left on Fox, because I really believe in what I'm saying," he said.

Glenn Beck is the only person in history that has managed to confuse political terminolog¬y into a thick, foul porridge of perplexity.

Nazis and Fascists are the personification of the extreme right wing – on the extreme left you will find assorted Marxist-Co¬mmunists. Both extremes have proved to be colossal failures and have a bloody history.

Beck’s sole explanatio¬n for his definition is that “Nazi” is the acronym for National Socialist Party and since they have the word "Socialist¬" emblazoned in their name - well...

By this shallow and inept system, North Korea is obviously a "democracy¬" right? Well, the name of that nation is ; "People’s DEMOCRATIC Republic of Korea".

Now thanks to Glenn Beck's fabulous mind we have just discovered that North Korea is an Democratic ally.

Extreme right wingers at their worst are called Nazis and Fascists they are to the right the same as Maoists and absorted Marxist-Communists.

Hate begets hate. Beck brings out the worst in people. Ignoring this pariah would have been a good experience for him. He should watch his next movie in Arizona or Florida.

Only seen Beck twice in his short career. And had to take a xanax both time's after the idiot's spooling slime all over the set. Maybe now Beck and Rush can do a side by side show. Then I'll have to take out a fattey and smoke it

Looking forward to the day when Beck's forehead slopes bak down back into the green carpet from whence it came...back off the wagon, drugged out and drunk,
Beck hanging out in Byantt Park to watch a movie with all his admirers?..........he's paying out his only option, which is to seek martyrdom......otherwise he's simply the colossal fool, Glen Beck......just some spit wine, sorry Glen, no such luck......

I am not a fan of Glenn Beck. In fact, I refuse to listen to him. Actually, he irritates me because of his stereotypical ways. Still, I consider myself to be a conservative. I concur with his statements regarding intolerance. I have noticed that a lot of intolerance and hate have animated from progressive people who act as though they are in a war with conservatives. I use "war" in a literal sense. Recently, conservatives posted some very insightful thoughts that generated a substantive conversation in which many people debated topics related to the Christian gay gospel singer. Eventually, moderators removed most of the conservative postings because of viewpoint objections. All of mine were removed after 12 people commented on the main post. In other words, HuffingtonPost does not want to discuss opposing views with an articulate conservative. Rather, it censors the conservative voice. This is not the generous liberalism of my father's generation. It is harmful to the very ideals it purports to represent. HuffingtonPost should model the ideal of building consensus through the active engagement of all perspectives. Otherwise, it will foment the type of hate and intolerance that Beck noted.

I am so tired of so-called conservatives telling me that liberals will not listen. Liberals listen constantly and understand; this is why we ignore extremists.

it is intriguing, however, that beck, one of the most intolerant of talking heads, complains about intolerance in other people.
all those liberal "do unto others", "be the change you want to see", "live and let live" sentiments seem lost on him. he simply does not see his own intolerance.

I'm not sure what I'm more repulsed by - David Carr's condescending verbal puke, or Beck's half-witted attempt to call him out on it. I call it a tossup... The very worst in liberal claptrap bringing out the very worst in conservative claptrap.

I've said this before, and this proves my point precisely. What exactly makes Carr an arbiter of which region of the country is "smarter" than another? Pretty ironic, coming from a self-confessed former cocaine addict born in....wait for it... MINNESOTA. Oh, and Mr. Carr? New Jersey? Intelligence? Allow me....David Carr.... Snooki....Snooki.... David Carr.

Now, Mr. Beck. There isn't enough room on this page, so I'll sum it up quoting Beck himself....
"I'm a rodeo clown".
Mocking the mentally challenged to prove your point about Carr....how "conservative", how "compassionate" of you.

As an avowed centrist, I'm more patriotic, more forward-thinking, more open-minded, than any so called "progressive" or "conservative"" can ever hope to be. I'm not threatened by the concept of "God" or religion, but I'm rational enough to know that it's a concept, every bit as much as evolution is. What's not absolutely proven is not....absolutely proven. And I don't look down my nose at those who find comfort in either God or science. All is possible, all is acceptable, provided it doesn't impede on my rights in any way.

excellent…would you consider running for political office and start a trend?? !!

He can't - he is either an agnostic or an (gasp) atheist - imagine calling God and religion a "concept". We don't elect his kind in this country. He does have the wishy-washy down, though. He could run (briefly) as Teabagger, Democrat or Republican. Very generic.

In his pathos, he thinks that his "passion" and his "truth" are real, and that people have gotten to Fox, forcing them to fire him. He has always had trouble with distinguishing reality from fantasy, even when he writes the fantasy. I would posit that when he sees something written, particularly if he wrote it, he assumes it must be the truth.

This is evidence of a few mental health (or lack of same) diagnostic codes - paranoia, schizophrenia, depression, manic depressive spectrum illnesses, and simple compulsive lying. He needs help. It would be best if he were institutionalized with no delay. Please help him.

no matter what people think of him their behavior was pathetic and sadly a reflection of our society as a whole…..encouraging it is pathetic too

Rob... you really need to get yourself a thesaurus and look for alternatives to the word, "pathetic". Plus, let me let you in on a bit of truth: Beck has a tendency towards hyperbole, and likes to play up the victim role. What exactly about their behavior do you find objectionable? The fact his wife was drenched in wine? ...I was at a concert last week and a drunk gave me a beer bath. You think it was due to my political stance? ...or, was it the fact someone told them they do not like conservatives? Why is expressing your opinion hostile? Look, Beck is used to showing up to talk shows that throw him softballs and going to events frequented by his minions. If he find people with opposing points of view "hostile", then I suggest he stay at home.

OMG....the world isn't going to end...AGAIN ? Beck is such a raving lunatic that people just laugh at him nowadays. He reminds me of the old movies with Abbot & Costello with Beck being Abbot. He pontificates about everything when its obvious he knows NOTHING. How did he ever manage to get anyone with even a smidgen of intelligence to listen to his garbage ? Not surprising that the advertisers pulled the plug on him. It should have been done long, long ago.

I don't think he did, unless a smidgen is a lot smaller than I picture it.

you "know it alls" might fact check the BS you are fed via NBC, ABC and compare it with the facts presented by Fox that seem to scare the panties off libs!! If what Beck and those Fox folks was worthless do ya think Soros would spend his billions?? Get real…..Fox is too close to the truth and doesn't want you libs to hear it!!
