Now Beck's car is plotting against him.
Oh sure, several hundred million people in the last century were murdered by their governments, but that's because those people were racist counter-revolutionary troublemakers. We have them in this country too, and many innocent people will be caught up in the carnage, but I think we're going to have to get rid of a lot of people in this country. Government works every day to get into a position where they can do that for us. Isn't that so kind and loving of them?
Yeah, what a kooky conspiracy theory! History shows that corporations always use technology to the benefit of it's cutomers. Corporations love you!

Well, with all the tax breaks Bubble Boy Bush gave them, I would think so . . .
The reason wingnut screamers like Becky keep implying Americans will be killed is simple: in order to keep their sheeple listeners/viewers in line, they have to keep them scared.
Scared of what, you ask? Hell, anything -- whether its the "Red Menace" of the 50s, hippies and campus radicals in the 60s, communists in the 80s, or, more recently, Muslims, immigrants, Mexicans, and other brown people, they have to be made afraid of SOMEBODY.
And, when all else fails, make 'em afraid of the scary black Muslim immigrant Socialist in the White House . . .
Thank god we thwarted Hitler's attempt to furnish every new Beetle with OnStar.
They don't need On-Star to round us up.
Someone should sell that to Fox with a 'TM' after it. (I want the royalties, Glenn Beck!)
And who in the heck started spying on the American public anyway? BUSH. So don't even go there Beck and his loons.
OnStar: "May I ask what the reason is?"
Customer: "Because I'm afraid we're going the way of the Weimar Republic."
Or that he makes his sizable living pandering to a fringe element that's still waiting for the black helicopters.
And where was all this deficit worry when Boosh was running things for eight years, and letting the banks and insurance companies run themselves into the ground?
I particularly love how the right wing nutz cry about the US Government deficit - which they just discovered on January 20, 2009 - yet they don't want the Bush tax cuts to be recinded.
Huh?
Well, except for those lower class tax cuts. Then you're "giving money to people who don't work."
Right!
Right?
OnStar is not the government.
But not the government.
Dwight Schrute from The Office!!!
Which is on NBC!!!
NBC's Headquarters displays Communist art!!!
So the police can get OnStar to stop the car, or they can chase the car, ram it, law down spike strips, etc.
And furthermore, it's not like the police can just ORDER OnStar to stop random cars whenever they feel like it.
And if you don't like it then here's a nifty idea: don't buy a car with OnStar.
/snark
You mean the police? In a chase, they are already able to run me off the road. I would rather they just make the car stop then chase it through traffic and run it off the road. What are you advocating here?
I doubt many had the stomach to listen to the enirety of this latest rant from The Mormonster, but it ends with: "So why would we trust them with listening and tracking devices? Why would we do that?"
Hmmm...
So why then, Herr Beck, when the Dick & Duhhbya show tapped into every single byte transmitted electronically with-fricken-in this country, why did we not hear this same fountain of froth from you?
Chirp... chirp...
Yeah, a helluva lot more than the previous misadministration ever did.
Where was the outrage with Bush and the "Patriot Act"?
Beck is so transparent it's not even funny - oh, and did I say disgusting? Yeah, he's all that and a bag of chips alright.
This man is going to cause some really really horrible act by a listener of his. My nephews, whom I thought were intelligent listen to him and think people are picking on him. So if they have their head up his butt, what in the world do some of the real nuts out there think..
It has gotten so, you are afraid to listen to real news, because you are sure some one egged on by Fox news is going to commit a reprehensible act.
Further, he makes it sound as though we are all going to get a bill in the mail one day for 340,000 dollars and if it's not paid, martial law will ensure.
If what he was conveying had even a small sliver of truth in it, then yeah, I'd be somewhat concerned. But, since his "facts" have no basis in the real world, and are at best "extremely misleading", I can only sit back and laugh at him.
