Earlier this year, when Steve Bannon was still running the right-wing website Breitbart and transforming it into an arm of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, Glenn Beck warned that Bannon was a “horrible, despicable human being,” likening him to Adolf Hitler’s propagandist Joseph Goebbels.
A few months later, when Trump tapped Bannon to serve as a key adviser to his campaign, Beck raised the alarm again, declaring that Bannon was “quite possibly the most dangerous guy in all of American politics.”
Now that Trump has announced that Bannon will serve chief strategist and senior adviser in the White House, Beck issued another warning on his radio show today.
Bannon wants to burn the entire system to the ground, Beck said. “He’s a nightmare and he’s the chief adviser to the president of the United States now.”
"He’s built Breitbart as a platform for the alt-right. He is on record saying that. He’s on record defining the alt-right. He knows what it is. He is a guy who wants to tear this system down and replace it with a new system. He is a frightening … no, he is a terrifying man. A terrifying man.”

Who is Glenn Beck?
He got Cheetos poisoning.
Ah, Beck’s “Gremin O’the Week”.
To think I actually thought well of this guy.
But that was a long time ago, in a Galaxy far, far away.
Glenn Beck? Is he still here?
Glenn who?
biggest endorsement possible..?
I hope he keeps this up.
Glenn Beck, the gift that keeps on giving.
Can’t believe Beck is still on the air. He is certifiably nuts.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Glenn, for God’s sake, put a cork in it!
I must confess that I enjoy watching Glenn’s distress. However, there are at least a few of us (maybe more than a few) who share his paranoia about Bannon and his “people”. Not me, but more than a few of us.
Deep plant. It ain’t working Milt.
Man, Beck has lost his mind.
“He is a frightening … no, he is a terrifying man. A terrifying man.”
I got a tingle up my leg.
Glenn, go crawl back into your safe space with a your teddy bear. You’ve morphed into a raging left-wing POS, and nobody wants to hear from you.
Hysterics Over Trump Appointee Steve Bannon
Left becomes unhinged over Catholic chief strategist

Donald Trump’s choice of Steve Bannon as chief strategist in his cabinet is raising howls of protest from the liberal Left, with Dan Pfeiffer, ex-senior adviser to President Obama, issuing a tweet that read: “Nation exhales because white nationalist only gets second most influential job in White House.”
The Anti-Defamation League went one further, tarring Bannon with the racist/nationalist/anti-Semite brush. “It is a sad day when a man who presided over the premier website of the ‘alt-right’ — a loose-knit group of white nationalists and unabashed anti-Semites and racists — is slated to be a senior staff member in the ‘people’s house,’” the group’s statement read.
And the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) denounced the appointment as one that “sends the disturbing message that anti-Muslim conspiracy theories and white-nationalist ideology will be welcome in the White House.”
Huffington Post has perhaps the most inflammatory report, the front of the website showcasing Bannon under the headline “White Nationalist in the White House.” The magazine went on to claim Trump’s appointment is setting up “a civil war” in the administration.
David Horowitz, however, is dismissing the outrage. “The losers of the left have worked themselves into such a bizarre hysteria over the fact that they lost the White House that they have lost all connection to reality and are now hyping their most ludicrously paranoid fantasies,” he remarked.
“For them, Stephen K. Bannon is the straw man of the hour,” he added.
Horowitz proceeds to argue how unfounded the “anti-Semite” charge is against Bannon. The one phrase the media have latched onto in order to prove Bannon’s so-called Jew hatred is the headline labeling Bill Kristol a “renegade Jew.”
The only problem? Bannon didn’t write the headline; Horowitz — a Jew — did.
I wrote the article when Kristol set out to lead the “Never Trump” movement, after Trump had secured the Republican nomination. I would write it again in a heartbeat. I would write it the same way and with the same headline. Bill Kristol and his friends betrayed the Republican Party, betrayed the American people, and betrayed the Jews when he set out to undermine Trump and elect the criminal Hillary Clinton. Obama and Hillary are supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood, the organization that launched the Arab drive to destroy Israel and push its Jews into the sea (that was their slogan).
Horowitz went on to vouch for Bannon’s character. “I have known Steve Bannon for many years. This is a good man. He does not have an Anti-Semitic bone in his body. “
Reince Priebus, appointed Trump’s chief of staff, is also coming to Bannon’s defense. Monday on NBC’s “Today” show, Priebus said, “The guy I know is a guy that isn’t any of those things. Here’s a guy who’s Harvard Business School. ... He’s a guy who is very, very smart.”
Bannon, a practicing Catholic, took over as executive editor of Brietbart.com after founder Andrew Breitbart passed away in 2012. Other Catholics being considered for Trump’s cabinet include Kellyanne Conway for senior adviser and Rudy Giuliani, former mayor of New York who gained a name for himself by being a tough federal prosecutor who went after organized crime, the Mafia and high-profile Wall street corruption cases.
Glenn Beck should be Branded out of conservative conversation.
Glenn who?
The remaining echoes of a failure.
