of course I have watched Glenn Beck....I still have not seen any
examples of progressives espousing violence against becksheep...unless
you think few % increase in the marginal tax rate of incomes over
$250K constitutes violence

"demagogue - strategy for gaining political power by appealing to the
prejudices, emotions, fears and expectations of the public—typically
via impassioned rhetoric and propaganda, and often using nationalist,
populist or religious themes.
* Adolf Hitler: Led the Nazi party to power in Germany by appeals
to ethnic pride and conspiracy theories that blamed Jews
(progressives) for the nation's economic troubles. He instituted
government control over the news media, and used his charisma and
great oratorical skills to lead Germany into a war aimed at expanding
its territory.
* Joseph McCarthy: U.S. Senator from the state of Wisconsin from
1947 to 1957. A poor orator,[1] he rose to national prominence during
the early 1950’s by accusing a number of politicians and other
individuals of being either communists or communist sympathizers. He
presented himself as being above reproach while anyone who questioned
or disagreed with him he branded as disloyal to the US government.
Ultimately his inability to substantiate his claims led him to be
censured by the United States Senate in 1954 and to fall from
popularity."
"Fear mongering is often used in wartime, as a political tactic to
frighten citizens and influence their political views. Fear mongering
in the United States surfaced during the era of McCarthyism. Since
then, politicians and pundits alike have realized and utilized the
powerful influential impact that fear can have on voters.[citation
needed] Some allege that fear of violent acts of terrorism since the
September 11th 2001 attacks were exploited by politicians to maintain
their control of the U.S. House of Representatives, Senate, and
Executive branches of the government."
