Glenn Beck has resurrected the practice. Not only has he found a cabal of secret communists, he has uncovered an entire communist corporation chock full of commies.

What separates Glenn Beck from his peers is the fact that he is doing some serious damage to the country he professes to love so much. For all of the comparisons to the Nazis he likes to make with regard to Liberals, Beck's program has much in common with Adolf Hitler's 1923 screed, Mein Kampf. Eighty-six years ago, Hitler attempted to arouse the anger of his fellow Germans by spouting half truths and utter nonsense - exactly what Glenn Beck is doing in 2009.

THE NATIONAL BROADCASTING COMPANY!

You heard me right, boys and girls. The network that gave us Uncle Miltie and Ma Perkins has apparently been secretly sending subliminal messages endorsing Marxist doctrine since it was formed in 1926. This would make perfect sense to me. Every time I watched the Rockford Files I had an unexplainable desire to read Das Kapital. But seriously, folks. Twenty years after the fall of the Soviet Union, red baiting not only seems silly, it’s also kind of nuts. It’s not-at-all surprising that an organization would give this idiot a forum (after all, he’s on FOX Noise). What’s really stunning is the fact that his ratings are relatively high and that so many Americans take his word as gospel.

All kidding aside, half-witted ideologues are a dime a dozen. What separates Glenn Beck from his peers is the fact that he is doing some serious damage to the country he professes to love so much.

Deep in their hearts
They do believe
That they shall undermine someday….

Washington Mutual had a loss in documentation and I resent it on 6 seperate occasions. My interest is 10.13% and they said they can only reduce me $112 which still keeps me well over 40% of my monthly income. My husband was laid off in February and my office closed the end of March, because of job loss our income has reduce greatly. I asked them what about the stimulus plan from President Obama. They told me just because Obama said it doesn't make it so. Is there anything else I can do? They said I can reapply. I applied March 4th. I just heard July 17th they are just hoping I'll go away. No interest of was discussed as being lowered. IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO? I’ve just gotten the verbal ok. Washington Mutual had a loss in documentation and I resent it on 6 seperate occasions.
