No.

I am a arrogant, stupid, crazy, pessimistic nihilistic asshole.

It is possible to know something and still not know how to fix it.

[Cheddarius]

Ah. What a shame.

[Euld]

I wonder if I should be glad that I started listening to Conservative radio so I could involve myself in these sorts of discussions.

"I beg you, look for the words social justice or economic justice on your church web site,"

So, I suppose social justice and economic justice used to refer to nazis or communists or something, so what do they mean nowadays?  And why would a modern person suspect the new meaning still refers to the old meaning?

[G-Flex]

As far as I know, they've never been specifically associated with either of those movements. Well, one of Communism's big stated goals WAS social/economic justice, sure, but then again that's true of a lot of socioeconomic movements.

In other words, Glenn Beck is blowing smoke out of various orifices again. He's not "suspecting" anything so much as engaging in extremely awful and fallacious tactics to cause people to associate liberalism in any form with things like nazism/communism. He's just trying to breed more "culture war" distrustful, hateful crap in order to drum up support/ratings.

I've watched some of Glen Becks stuff and enjoyed them. Then I realised that he was being serious.

[chaoticag]

Yes people, Jesus was a Jewish nazi. No two ways about it. He was also a communist. Never mind what others say about those people fighting each other, he was every one of them. Yep. It makes sense, I tell you.

Thank you for this!

Oh, by the way, Woose, there's a typo in the thread; it should be "Glenn Beck". I'm sure everyone realizes who you're talking about, but it'd still be cool if you could change that.

This is why we can't have nice things. D:

Glenn Beck logic:

Jesus=potato
Communist=Nazi(Facism)
potato=New York
New York+artwork=Nazi
Jesus= some art in NY, so
Jesus=Nazi=Communist, and if
Glenn Beck>Everyone else
Everyone else is > or = to Jesus

so he belives everyone is equal to or greater than a potato.
Perfect logic.

[x2yzh9]

Apparently Glenn Beck has down syndrome.

[chaoticag]

No, he just has stupid extreme right syndrome. It is when you are an idiot when it comes to conservative ideas.

[Jackrabbit]

Okay. So I think I can track his thought process. He is a transcript of precisely what this man was thinking.

Socialism involves, in part, helping the less fortunate.
According to the gospels, Jesus helped the less fortunate.
Socialism is considered a stepping stone to communism.
We're still in the Cold War, right?
Also, is Nazism synonymous with Communism?
My gut is telling me that it is!
Free Health Care will cause babies to be murdered at random!
And will cause America to literally sink beneath the ocean because SOCIALISM AND HITLER.
Therefore, Jesus is probably a Nazi! THE WORLD MUST KNOW.

Although, in actuality it was probably more like this.

How can I get good ratings?
Accuse Jesus of being a Nazi!
I am so awesome.

[Cheddarius]

Or maybe like this:
Also, is Nazism helping the less fortunate?
Free Health Care will cause the Cold War, right?
And will cause America to be a stepping stone to communism.
According to the gospels, Jesus caused babies to be murdered at random!
My gut helped the less fortunate.
We're still literally sinking beneath the ocean because SOCIALISM AND HITLER.

The fact I can actually still imagine him thinking that is slightly terrifying.
