Ames, you’re crediting Beck with creating rhetoric that’s been in common use for at least half a century within libertarian/Objectivist circles. True, the use isn’t precisely a debt to slavery equation so much as a taxation to slavery equation, but national debt leads to increased taxation = slavery is how’d I’d interpret that sentence (at least without any context, as the clip’s no longer on Youtube), and that would put Beck in the realm of a common enough political philosophy, not mere demagoguery.

According to Glenn Beck, democracy equals slavery.

That’s right, you heard it hear first: Glenn Beck is straight ‘outta Orwell.

Apparently he's also a big proponent of teabagging.

I’m waiting for the day when Beck really loses it on-set, begins speaking in tongues, throws things and ends up in a quivering sobbing heap in the corner.

I…don’t…think…he’s…far…off…

Perhaps someone should get Glenn a Rhyming Becktionary. He would at least be more watchable if everything were in verse.
