BWHAHAHA: Glenn Beck Labels Bush A ‘ PROGRESSIVE '

:rofl:HAHAHAHA....And to think Bush was Beck's ' BATMAN HERO ' just a few years ago. They're beginning to feed on themselves while jostling for control. I wonder if Rush, Palin, Hannity or O'reilly agree with Beck's conclusion.

After years of praise, Glenn Beck decides to label Bush a ‘progressive’

At one point in his career, right-wing pundit Glenn Beck happily declared that President George W. Bush and D.C. Comics icon Batman are just alike: both strong and unafraid to take down the bad guys, no matter where they hide.

... Which is why it was a bit odd listening to Beck's Monday radio broadcast, in which he called Bush a "progressive," placing his one-time hero squarely in a political ideology the conspiratorial-minded host calls a "cancer" on America.

Considering this particular television personality's propensity for praising Bush, his rhetorical about-face is truly amazing.

Stacked together, the two claims -- made years apart in wildly differing political climates -- might beg the question: Why does Glenn Beck hate Batman?

After all, this is a man who claimed American progressives helped craft Nazi propaganda, even though Adolf Hitler himself explains in "Mein Kampf" that much of the Nazis' messaging techniques were scooped from the British.

If, then, Beck truly believes that Bush is actually part illustrated superhero and part sire of the international Nazi conspiracy, a rational person might conclude that Mr. Beck holds some pretty strange opinions about Gotham's caped crusader.

Then again, maybe he's just forgetful. Or, perhaps he's grown quite keen at sensing political expediency. Either way, this is one conservative media talker who appears ensnared by his own logic.

During his Monday radio show, Beck acknowledged something a bit unusual for him: the fact that President Obama has continued many of President Bush's policies.

"What has done that is different?" he asked. "I think he’s done exactly what George Bush was doing, except to the times of a thousand. I mean we’re talking about a progressive. And George Bush was a progressive. It’s the difference between a steam train and the space shuttle."

Chickenhawk clowns like Beck, Limbaugh, Cheney, Gingrich, Hannity and O'Reilly -- who never served -- and like Bush who deserted to snort cocaine, are inclined to say stupid things. It's a republicon speciality.

7. Reading the alleged mind of Glenn Beck

Is like picking through goat entrails to divine the future. You're only going to come up with a useful insight by accident. Glenn Beck's opinions are deeply held, forcefully stated, and reflect his most heartfelt feeling . . . at the very moment they're made, and sometimes not even for that long. Once the moment is over, so is Beck's deathless opinion. Tomorrow it could be something else entirely, showing a changeability that an ADHD four-year-old would find annoying.

10. That's IT!

bu$h was a progressive because he made things progressively worse!
Just like Reagan was a conservationist because he was a conservative!
It all makes sense, in a weird, Republican sort of way :crazy:
