“I didn’t get it then and I don’t get it now.”
Same here.
Is this the ‘Big Thing’ that he has promoting the last week? Is this related to his ‘there will be arrests’ comment last week.
This is all a little too weird for me.
No, it’s not related...the “there will be arrests” was related to the ACORN scandal.
Apparently the ACORN videos escaped your attention. Those were what he referred to in the "going to jail" statement, and he is telling the truth, these people should be going to jail, but as Beck said, and he was right, all they will do is throw the ACORN lower level people under the bus and keep on truckin'. So, no the "big thing" passed you by somehow, four ACORN workers fired and the census severing ties(at least on the surface)with ACORN was the Big Thing.
As far as I can see, the arrests he was hoping for may have backfired—with the undercover filmmakers become the legal targets instead.
I think Beck has obviously had an incredible touch across the media, and great success with his books and radio and TV programs. The last two weeks he became more influential still.
But I can’t quite tell how close he is to becoming unhinged, and whether he’s been working up to some great ‘third-party’ movement over the last year. If so, I’m afraid he’s at risk of losing it in some sort of political messiah complex, and this may be the start of it.
I hope not, because he’s been so right on so much.
