frankg, Oh please, why pretend to be as innocent as a new born baby? That you have absolutely no idea whatsoever how propaganda works, no working knowledge whatsoever of human psychology, or mob pyscology.
Beck is doing his best to spread and encourage the notion that conservatives and just about everyone NOT a progressive (whateverthe fuck that is) is in immediate physical danger. Look at the names he uses, the analogies. What did "Isreali Nazi hunters" hunt? Anybody here not aware of the devastatingly brutal war we fought against Nazi germany? "Blood-sucking Vampires". What do you do to stop (in self-defense of course) a Vampire? You drive a stake through it's heart and cut off head. And blah-blah-blah-blah, so on and so forth. Beck is doing the simplest thing in the world to stir up a mob and later be technically able bat to his eyes innocently and say "where did I call for violence?" He is convincing people that they are in immediate and mortal peril and must be prepared to defend themselves because the "evil ones" are going to attack at any momemt amd take their momey, and burn their barn and stampede the women and rape the cattle, etc. etc. Next step? Some jackass, of group of them, remembers the old adage "the best defense is a good offense". Beck ain't too bad at this, but he's no Edward bernays. Lucky for him his audiance is a dumb as a sack of fucking hammers so he'll probably get away with it.
