Glenn Beck and The 9/12 Marchers: Subversives From Within

Gabbr.com ^ | September 12, 2009 | Frank Schaeffer

[guitarist]

Whatever happened to the Franky Schaeffer? He always had an active mind. In the early 80's, when he was conservative, his writings got every increasingly angry and intense, and I worried about him at the time. With good cause, it turns out! This column is such a mix of fact, fiction, smear, opinion and emotion, that it would take much more time and effort than I have to spare in order to do it.

But you are welcome to have a go at it...

[American Constitutionalist]

The guy is off his medication and forgot where he put his straight jacket.

[DooDahhhh]

This dude is sooooo wrong about who was there yesterday. For one, I was, and many more like me. We are conservatives and for the most part never attend church, want a constitutional government, do not want government controlled health care, do not want socialism of any kind, have made our own way in the world, came from all over the US to demonstrate against big government. How did this dude come up with this drivel.

[Brugmansian]

Who are these people?! Where do they come from?

[Arthur McGowan]

He’s gone utterly around the bend. This is real nutter stuff. Where’s Nurse Ratched?

[blueplum]

well, I’d hate to be the first one to point out to Frank that at least half of the religious folks in America are Black and Hispanic - it would certainly ruin his ‘white...religious...conservatives...are...alqueda’ argument and probably send him into babbling fits.

[stripes1776]

Whatever happened to the Franky Schaeffer?

He became an Eastern Orthodox Christian. He's still fighting against his Protestant daddy, projecting his hatred for his father onto all conservatives, particularly Evangelical Christians.

[B-Chan]

What a pity. Franky Schaeffer did so much for the faith and for civilization. Now he has turned his back on everything good and placed himself on the Enemy’s service.

[VeniVidiVici]

This is what I thought of while reading this..... piece. Before I finally gave up about a third of the way through as he kept repeating himself.

[mkjessup]

Franky Schaeffer is dead, this waste of bandwidth was authored by some demon inhabiting his lifeless body.

[FredZarguna]

I'm an atheist with a PhD who was educated in elite schools; my Dad was a social worker and also an atheist. My Mom stayed at home so she could be there when we came back from public school at the end of the day. She had taught eight grades of school in a country school house in the 1930's and she taught me math because the "New Math" of the 1960's was destroying my brain, but she didn't believe in God either. I don't believe in Satan or Anti-Christs, but I do believe in the principles of the Enlightenment and in the idea that the American Founding is part of a struggle for individual liberty against authoritarianism that's been going on for about 40 centuries. Its best weapons are intelligence, truth, and reason, and its enemies are brutal thugs who never really change anything but their faces.

You liberal jackasses may now proceed to your next half-baked theory.

[LowOiL]

KrazyKat was a wonderful comic. I perchance happened upon a book of on the subject. Wonderful talent, complex genius.

[VeniVidiVici]

Actually, Frankie looks a little light in the loafers. That could actually explain quite a bit.

[thecabal]

That’s some weapons-grade crazy right there.

[Always Right]

Patriotic Americans might question the organizer's aim to provide a media forum for dimwitted right wingers to scream "Liar!" "Socialist!" "Antichrist!" "Muslim!" "Death Panels!" "He's not an American!" and so on and on and on about the commander in chief charged with defending us from further attacks.

LOL, since when does Patriotic American = Idiot??? What the heck as Barack Obama done to defend America??? Everything Obama does is designed to hurt our security and make us look like wimps to our enemies.

[Brugmansian]

George Herriman was great, wasn’t he? William Randolph Hearst gave him a life-time contract. Liberals don’t like people to know (if they even know) that a black man was so successful at that time and Hearst loved him (so much so when his editors wanted to dump Herriman because of declining interest, Hearst was firm... Harriman strips would never be dropped)

[A Navy Vet]

"...but I do believe in the principles of the Enlightenment and in the idea that the American Founding is part of a struggle for individual liberty against authoritarianism that's been going on for about 40 centuries.

You forgot one very important "weapon"...a weapon. That has ALWAYS been the first and last defense against totalitarianism. Other than that, I completely agree with you.

[Always Right]

How did this dude come up with this drivel.

Probably abused as a child. This kind of irrational logic can only come from a warped mind. Pray for this individual.

[RightOnline]

What a huge, steaming pile......

[LowOiL]

Wow, just wow!

Do not read this while listening to Clint Mansell's Orchestral version of Lux Aeterna. It will creep you out.
