Quotes of the day
posted at 10:30 pm on September 17, 2009 by Allahpundit
“As melodrama, it’s thumping good stuff. But as politics, it’s sort of a train wreck — at once powerful, spellbinding and uncontrolled. Like William Jennings Bryan whipping up populist Democrats over moneyed interests or the John Birch Society brooding over fluoride, Beck mines the timeless theme of the corrupt Them thwarting a virtuous Us. This flexible narrative often contains genuinely uncomfortable truths. Some days ‘they’ are the unconfirmed policy ‘czars’ whom Beck fears Obama is using to subvert constitutional government — and he has some radical-sounding sound bites to back it up. Some days ‘they’ are the network of leftist community organizers known as ACORN — and his indictment of the group is looking stronger every day. But he also spins yarns of less substance. He tells his viewers that Obama’s volunteerism efforts are really an attempt to create a ‘civilian national-security force that is just as strong, just as powerful as the military.’ While scourging Obama and the Democratic Congress, Beck takes pains to say that the ranks of the nation’s would-be oppressors know no party. In his recent instabook — Glenn Beck’s Common Sense, a huge best seller, with more than 1 million copies moved in less than four months — he wrote, ‘Most Americans remain convinced that the country is on the wrong track. They know that SOMETHING JUST DOESN’T FEEL RIGHT but they don’t know how to describe it or, more importantly, how to stop it.’ The book’s pox-on-both-parties populism evokes the quixotic campaigns of Texas billionaire H. Ross Perot, but with an eerie sound track.”
***
“In an e-mail to POLITICO, Limbaugh said any attempt to compare him with Beck in terms of Washington influence rests on a ‘flawed premise.’
‘I do not, and never have, measured my success in ways you describe, such as ‘impact’ in Washington,’ Limbaugh said. ‘I am a broadcaster and judge my success by those standards.’…
Radio host Mark Levin, whose book ‘Liberty & Tyranny’ just surpassed 1 million sales this week, laughed off the suggestion that Beck may be eclipsing Limbaugh as the voice of the right.
‘Are you kidding?’ Levin said in an e-mail. ‘Comparing Rush Limbaugh to Glenn Beck is like comparing George Washington to George Jefferson. Beck can be very entertaining and even informative, but he is neither the face nor the voice of the conservative movement. He is one of many.’”

Heh.

Who ever started this conversation should bug out. We need both of these guys and we need a united front. Our country is in danger. There’s plenty of room, fame and money for both.
Herb on September 18, 2009 at 12:31 AM
If the dregs that make up a lot of the dem party can stick together, then I see no reason that conservatives cannot work together.
Johan Klaus on September 18, 2009 at 12:32 AM
Totally agree with you. I’m totally a Steyn fan, and love the accent.
silvernana on September 18, 2009 at 12:32 AM
Steyn is a sexy man!
cubachi on September 18, 2009 at 12:36 AM
I agree with Levin on this one.
The people bashing him need to understand where he’s coming from. There wouldn’t BE talk radio if it wasn’t for Rush. I don’t think many of you remember radio before Rush hit the scene. There was NO conservative view point anywhere. Period. He pioneered a medium we take for granted today. I remember the first time I heard Rush. I was 15 years old and remember thinking finally someone who passionately and eloquently expressing the way I’ve always felt my entire life.
Levin is also a pioneer. He leads the landmark legal foundation and has been fighting the good fight a LONG time, going back to the days when he campaigned for Reagan in the 70′s, and eventually worked in his administration.
While I like Beck, he’s not even in the same ballpark as Levin and Limbaugh. Not even close. Please stop being ignorant by bashing them and putting Beck on a pedestal. He has a LONG way to go before he can even be considered in the same league.
Howzah on September 18, 2009 at 12:37 AM
Savage used to call Levin “Groucho” a few years back, which kinda fits, really, when you listen to him on the radio. I dunno if that’s changed though, since I can’t stand to listen to Savage for more than a few minutes at a time…

RWG (I tend towards Prager, Hewitt and Medved, myself)
RWG on September 18, 2009 at 12:37 AM
Here is how I explain them.
Limbaugh is the God Father of Conservativism, the Spokesperson, the Explainer of Things Conservative and Not.
Hannity is the Debating Attack Dog, he will debate Liberals and smash them. The Verbal Fencer.
Levin is the Intellectual Attack Dog deconstructing the psychological disease known as Liberalism. I kind of call him the Crotchety Psychologist.
Glenn Beck is the attack dog of Action. Doing things like promoting the Tea Parties and the 9/12 Movement. The Happy Warrior who loves Trench Warfare.
Holger on September 18, 2009 at 12:40 AM
That’s good. :)
atheling on September 18, 2009 at 12:45 AM
Levin is more of a shaman of the movement especially his great manifesto “Liberty & Tyranny”. A book that a trooper carries in his pack.
However, Beck is the daring and brave unorthodox company commander who just walked into regimental HQ with Van Jones head on a spike.
Beck attacks forcefully and directly at the beast and draws blood and wounds them.
He is an operational genius.
When he moves to 7:00pm EDT at Fox, he WILL surpass BOR in ratings.
We’ll see how BOR reacts, but the Left will try to portray it as a split in the libertarian/conservative movement even BOR is not really that conservative but more modcon.
Sapwolf on September 18, 2009 at 12:45 AM
Damn, Holger, you thinking like me.
Sapwolf on September 18, 2009 at 12:46 AM
I think BOR is a contrarian. Sometimes it appears that he takes the opposite position just for the sake of it.
I don’t watch him anymore.
atheling on September 18, 2009 at 12:47 AM
Not sure about the BOR. I think he is attempting to be Walter Cronkite.
Holger on September 18, 2009 at 12:51 AM
While Beck has never been my “cup of tea” he sure seems to be the one scoring the most hits on Obama lately. He may “go down in flames” at some point, from his “wild side”, but, among the talk show hosts, he sure seems to have “drawn the most blood” from Capo Obama recently.
MB4 on September 18, 2009 at 12:53 AM
Within the conservative movement, Steyn is the most obvious followup to William F Buckley. He can say something that sounds pleasant but that totally eviscerates a lib’s position before he even knows what hit him…
18-1 on September 18, 2009 at 12:56 AM
That may be part of it.
Elitism can be found in the most unsuspecting places.
Sapwolf on September 18, 2009 at 12:57 AM
Holy S**t!
Somebody BAN me.
Sapwolf on September 18, 2009 at 12:57 AM
Pretty much. Yes.
Connie on September 18, 2009 at 12:59 AM
BOR is more of a mainstream modcon, but on his show, contrarian is probably the right word.
Sapwolf on September 18, 2009 at 12:59 AM
That was great!
I think to truly understand Beck you have to be a recovering alcoholic. The language of recovery is within every show like a secret code.
HellCat on September 18, 2009 at 1:00 AM
I only heard Steyn once and his accent kind of threw me before I changed the channel. But I can see how that is correct.
Only a Brit or a Cannuck can eviscerate someone and make the evisceratee smile about it. And Buckley could do this. So could Reagan but Buckley had it down as an art form, probably due to his training.
Steyn is the Super Friendly Neighborhood Partisan that will beat you up and make you like it.
Holger on September 18, 2009 at 1:01 AM
I love Steyn too. I think he would be great as the Cuda’s press secretary, but I also like Liz Cheney too (member of the 5CubClub).
Sapwolf on September 18, 2009 at 1:01 AM
Uh, I don’t believe that was an original Beck quote, but rather directly from the mouth of The One.
Again, the idea that using what people actually say and do as evidence of falsehoods and smear campaigns.
George Orwell would not be taken aback by any of this.
Dr. ZhivBlago on September 18, 2009 at 1:05 AM
I like Beck’s overdramatic style. It is much like Patrick Henry or Sam Adams.
Of course, I’m overdramatic too.
I’ve never had trouble figuring out for the most part all these guys and gals messages.
In fact, the only one that I have trouble with is Savage. That is due to his extreme bitterness. There is a reason why there was NOT a big response to help him fight the UK on that lame stop at the airport or whatever it was.
I could have a beer with Beck and it would be cool and fun.
But Savage, no way. I agree with much of what he says, but he would just not be as much fun hanging out with.
Sapwolf on September 18, 2009 at 1:06 AM
We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many long months of struggle and of suffering. You ask, what is our policy? I can say: It is to wage war by land, sea and air, with all our might and with all the strength God has given us; to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark, and lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy. You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word: It is victory, victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory, however long and hard the road may be; for without victory there is no survival.
- Winston Churchill
MB4 on September 18, 2009 at 1:08 AM
If I’d known we were having a Mark Steyn Fan Club meeting, I would have shown up sooner.
You forgot to mention his regal redheaded good looks, clever humor, singing talent and vast musical knowledge. He has an awful lot of pluses for one man.
Hopefully, y’all listen to him during his weekly visit to Hugh Hewitt’s radio show and whenever he guest hosts for Rush.
Terrie on September 18, 2009 at 1:13 AM
Time to one up you.
Holger on September 18, 2009 at 1:14 AM
You know, for all of his quirks, it’s seems to me that Glenn Beck has single-handedly done more damage to the Obama Administration and its plans than any other person in the country.
CrankyTRex on September 18, 2009 at 1:18 AM
Isn’t it wonderful to be discussing (or bitching) and sharing perfectly valid opinions about an ever growing, ever more relevant and listened to group Conservative voices?
One thing I do for fun, is search for smaller market Conservative Talk Radio hosts. We have great ones in abundance. Their number and reach seems to be growing as well.
Give a listen to the likes of Quinn and Rose, Billy Cunningham, Chris Baker or “Gunny Bob” Newman just to name a few. Will you find a thing or two to bitch about? Probably. Will you generally like them and feel your time was well spent?…. More than probably.
America IS waking up… slowly, as is usual. But that is ok. America has traditionally reacted slowly… especially on domestic issues. But the basic overall decency of this country has one hell of a lot of inertia, when the s**t starts rolling downhill

Nobody ever defended anything successfully, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.

I’m just guessing but I doubt they quote founding fathers or Obama’s dreaded Churchill on the liberal blogs.
petunia on September 18, 2009 at 1:23 AM
It was hardly single-handedly I saw the pictures I think there were somewhere between 1 and 2 million people in DC on 9-12.
And all those folks who showed up at the townhalls.
I think all that laid the ground work, I think Congress knows they had better not ignore ACORN or anything else the people want taken care of.
I also don’t think enough Democrats are going to stand with Obama and pass any of his disasterous enslavement legislation.
The American people have given good Democrats cover. Now they can oppose Obama. They fear us more than him.
petunia on September 18, 2009 at 1:27 AM
When I want my men to remember something important, to really make it stick, I give it to them double dirty. It may not sound nice to some bunch of little old ladies at an afternoon tea party, but it helps my soldiers to remember. You can’t run an army without profanity; and it has to be eloquent profanity. An army without profanity couldn’t fight its way out of a piss-soaked paper bag. … As for the types of comments I make, sometimes I just, By God, get carried away with my own eloquence.
Holger on September 18, 2009 at 1:29 AM
Also by Patton:
Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do, and they will surprise you with their ingenuity.
Alinsky Rules Patton Style
Holger on September 18, 2009 at 1:30 AM
It would be hard to top that.
MB4 on September 18, 2009 at 1:37 AM
Cato, a Tragedy, by Joseph Addison
Holger on September 18, 2009 at 1:40 AM
Like this.
I’d add the following:
The conservative movement needs generals. Patton was different from MacArthur but both did the deed.
Limbaugh and Beck are generals in guerrilla warfare.
Now we just need a leader.
athenadelphi on September 18, 2009 at 1:44 AM
Over hill, over dale,
We must stop Herr Obama from swinging America by the tail,
And those Caissons Go Rolling Along
Counter march! Right about!
Hear those tea protesters shout
While those Caissons Go Rolling Along
To the front, day and night
Where the constitutionalists against Herr Obama dig and fight
And those Caissons Go Rolling Along
Our barrage will be there
Fired on the rocket’s flare
While those Caissons Go Rolling Along
With the liberty loving blogs, boot to boot
We will join in Herr Obama’s pursuit
And those Caissons Go Rolling Along
Action front, at a trot
Volley fire with shell and shot
While those Caissons Go Rolling Along
Should the foe penetrate
Ev’ry conservative gunner for Herr Obama lies in wait
And those Caissons Go Rolling Along
Fire at will, lay ‘em low
Never stop for any foe
While those Caissons Go Rolling Along
But if fate me should call
And in action against Herr Obama I should fall
Keep those Caissons a rolling Along
Then in peace I’ll abide
When I take my final ride
On a Caisson that’s Rolling Along
For it’s “Hi! Hi! Hee!
In the Defeat Obama Artillery
Call off your numbers loud and strong
And where e’er we go
You will always know
That those Caissons Are Rolling Along

This is why I would never give money to any politician I haven’t yet fully investigated. I don’t care if they’re Republican or not, these a**holes can’t be trusted.
Has Joe Wilson had a change of heart since his big government socialized health care for illegals vote in 2003, or is he simply another hypocritical phony taking advantage of pissed off conservatives?
2Brave2Bscared on September 18, 2009 at 3:38 AM
‘Czars’ by their very nature (and likely design) are Constitutionally subversive. A loophole in the very least.

You aren’t as far out as you may think. Obama’s childhood mentor was Frank Marshall Davis, communist, pornographer, and pedophile.
gary4205 on September 18, 2009 at 4:01 AM
I’ve not understood why Beck, Rush, Sean, Mark, Savage, and some other prominent voices have not come together and done a “town-hall” style meeting of the “Minds” to “unify the clans”
Surely, there is enough common ground to pull these guys together to keep it together.
And BTW: the entire GOP leadership, save Wilson and Demint need to be thrown out!

I think the consensus right now is that these movements need to be the people and not have a personality attached to them. The message is to D.C. and all that live in that swamp.

Seven Percent Solution on September 18, 2009 at 5:31 AM
THis “argument” was probably started by a lefty to create trouble. Each conservative pundit has their own style a sphere of influence.
Jeff from WI on September 18, 2009 at 5:40 AM
I confess, I have never watched Beck. From snippets I’ve seen here, he is probably not my cup of tea, but he doesn’t need to be–there are other voices, other approaches. Lockstep is for Lefties–as Seven Percent says, it will take all of us.
DrMagnolias on September 18, 2009 at 5:41 AM
His take… alont with mortgage take over, auto take over, attempt to take over health care, cap & trade take over of enerty all a very rapid move to facism.
I agree. The government really doesn’t care if any of these turn a profit. The important point is that they have control. Directly, as in mortgages, school loans, health care or indirectly as he plan with cap and trade.

I once got to see Steyn as a keynote speaker at a luncheon. I was sitting at a banquet table, surrounded by very nice people who cared (like me) about freedom of speech, the Islamification of the West…that kind of thing. A serious, thoughtful crowd. Meanwhile, I’m watching Steyn having thoughts worthy of someone with a schoolgirl crush. There’s something about a smart, witty, alpha-male….oh brother, there I go again, all distracted…
CarolynM on September 18, 2009 at 6:16 AM
Because Bozo said that and he is already using union goons. Soon they will come with arm bands and flags with his logo on it.

Heh.
The Left couldn’t win with their Alinsky-style “isolate and demonize” Rush Limbaugh approach,
so now they’re trying to “invent competition” from within, hoping for Red-on-Red blood.

and i love it
blatantblue on September 18, 2009 at 6:32 AM
He is the John McCain of cable news…wants everyone to like him and “work across party lines”. Plus he’s an economic illiterate that thinks Exxon sets the price of oil.
I will give him credit for his fight against child predators. I don’t know how much he actually accomplishes (if you listen to him, every conviction is due to his show), but either way, kudos to him for keeping the issue in the spotlight.
angryed on September 18, 2009 at 6:41 AM
Beck is a bit misleading in his assertion about Cass Sunstein and animals sueing people:

Savage calling someone else a grouch? Hm
True_King on September 18, 2009 at 6:42 AM
Beck has done more for the conservative movement in 8 months than Rush has recently. Its really hard to take Limbaugh seriously when he was silent about Republican spending in Congress when they had power.
Speedwagon82 on September 18, 2009 at 6:46 AM
Agreed.

BigAlSouth on September 18, 2009 at 6:48 AM
Savage is simply the most entertaining of them all
I believe variety is a good thing, and as much as I like Rush, et.al, I can only take so much “Obamaaaaa” for three hours.
I like how Savage diverges from the Democrats to calamari, old world Italian women, back to Democrats
blatantblue on September 18, 2009 at 6:48 AM
Maybe Doc Zero is Beck!!!!
O_o
AP has us all fooled!
blatantblue on September 18, 2009 at 6:49 AM
Or you go on Savage and hear him interview a jazz musician who was born blind
you learn about life. you hear about the politics, but you just hear about experiences from various people, and you take lessons away from all of it
people hate savage, but i think the haters just dont give him a chance
blatantblue on September 18, 2009 at 6:51 AM
Steyn’s unabashed masculine brilliance and non-attorney-bent thoughts puts him above the mark of those friends listed by Holger on September 18, 2009 at 12:40 AM
Michael Savage may be the contrarian, but no less a brilliant mind of his own generation. I’d enjoy hearing a lively dialogue between Steyn and Savage; I’d say they’re evenly matched but of different backgrounds, making it all the more interesting than hearing either by themselves, or Steyn with any of his circle of friends.
maverick muse on September 18, 2009 at 6:57 AM
savage really is a great mind
they all are
blatantblue on September 18, 2009 at 7:02 AM
Question:Who really runs the Democrats? Obama or Pelosi.
There, I made a new controversy thread.
Jeff from WI on September 18, 2009 at 7:08 AM
That’s right, the Republican cheerleader who excused progressive politics vs. Conservatism when it seemed (it was) the popular thing, like Hannity. It’s too easy for them to change sweatshirts from R to C at will, and back to R again. They didn’t push the conservative movement as such until they realized they’d gone too far with the progressives, then all the back pedaling.
The last great effort Rush made was to change Republicans’ registration to Democrat in order to vote for his Hillary anti-McCain primary campaign.
Hey Rush, how about reminding those Republicans who followed your advice to primary vote Hillary to secure their Republican registration. Deadlines are imminent for local elections. Finish what you started with a show of responsibility.
There’s the upcoming Texas Gov. primary election that will matter as the Republican Party will suffer a severe infight: Perry vs. Hutchison on the Republican ticket. Rush owes the Republicans to finish what he started with voter registration in Texas 2008 primaries.
maverick muse on September 18, 2009 at 7:13 AM
I like Rush but Beck has done more to galvanize and educate Americans than Rush has as of late.
The best thing about Beck is he is self effacing, very unlike Rush and Savage.
I like Hannity too. but Beck is truly a transformative figure.
Whereas O’reilly is just a pompous prick.
TheSitRep on September 18, 2009 at 7:17 AM
Rush, Hannity and Oreilly, respect the hell out of Beck. They know he is a man with tons of courage and he has a way to communicate his message which by the way is just the truth.

lovingmyUSA on September 18, 2009 at 7:35 AM
Dr. Ron Paul will be on Beck’s show soon to promote “End the Fed”, his revealing new book about the forces which have destroyed the economy and our currency.
The book is available today. 224 very well-written pages explaining that if want to rip the heart out of the cancerous spending happening in Washington, the best way to do it is to put a stop to the Federal Reserve. Both parties of politicians have proven that they will only expand government. It’s up to us to take action.

whiskeytango on September 18, 2009 at 7:45 AM
I know! I can totally picture him defending the home front, gun in hand, eviscerating the bad guys with his quick wit and enormous vocabulary. But, willing to use the gun if necessary. Maybe we should start a fan club.

Jay Leno on Acorn.
the_nile on September 18, 2009 at 7:51 AM
Although Rush may promote the slogans, those that actually cut corruption to the quick originate from Michael Savage, the elder intellectual conservative talk radio host.
Last night, Savage came out with an interesting take on Obama’s missile minuet with Russia, btw, that no one anywhere spoke or wrote of previously. Watching Savage make waves is either cathartic or exhilarating, like watching the coastal waters ebb and flow that when moved by the natural course of events, roar with a mighty thunder accompanied by bolts of lightening.
Dr. Savage is the conservative’s lightening rod. Give credit where credit is due.
maverick muse on September 18, 2009 at 7:52 AM
stupid QOTD. Stirring dissension. Drop it to bottom of list. Now.
ted c on September 18, 2009 at 7:52 AM
We don’t have Savage’s show in this neck of the woods, but I love the idea of someone who can interview musicians and historians and political figures with good humor and intelligence. I admire Terry Gross of NPR for her interviews, but hate her politics. Still haven’t decided who bested who in her Bill O’Reilly series.

So much thinly disguised jealousy and fear.

Enjoyed seeing it last night on broadcast. Leno has balls. He rules the night scene, and I’m glad he’s on before the news. NBC did conservatives a huge favor in programming Leno “prime time”, easier than ever to miss their crappy news. It’s the late night crowd who are stuck with the not-even-ready-for “not ready for prime time players” old apologist not funny shtick, including the bony red-head whose face is not young.
I hope Leno changes his new intro music sooner than later. It sounds like something prepared for Regis & Kathie/Kelly or even The View.

I love when Beck does his “Kermit the frogish” voice

Why isn’t this our wartime mission statement? It damned well should be.

Them’s fighting words! You guys are blowing me away too early in the morning! Too bad I was too tired and missed this last night!

He tells his viewers that Obama’s volunteerism efforts are really an attempt to create a ‘civilian national-security force that is just as strong, just as powerful as the military.’
why is this so crazy? seems to me like Obama is the one who said he wants a civilian national-security force as strong as the military.

Listen to Savage livestream from one of many stations that cut the commercials with music during evening breaks.
BTW, around the noon hour, The Fred Thompson Show isn’t broadcast locally for me. But his website has a direct livestream. BTW, his jazz selections during commercial break remind me of the concerts from local jazz bands I’d hear.
