I've always just adored Lewis Black!!!! He's just an absolute card!!!

But I wonder if Beck even hears the clear-cut irony that Black is presenting to him?

Beck went so far as to insult the victims of the Holocaust by trying to reconfigure everything Obama does into a (poorly developed) parallel with the Third Reich.

I mean, that's not just irresponsible, it's insulting. it's like falsely accusing someone of a serious crime like rape... it trivializes the pain of the real victims or that brutality... just as Beck does night after night with regards to the blood-curdling atrocities of the Nazis.

But after painting Health Care reform, ACORN, the Peace Corps etc... as evidence of a nazi presence, Beck totally dismisses any parralel from the Third Reich with the bill in Arizona. And that bill EXACTLY MIRRORS THE INSTITUTIONALIZED TARGETING OF MINORITIES, FOREIGNERS/IMMIGRANTS AND THE POOR WHICH BECAME THE HALLMARK OF NAZI DOMESTIC POLICY!

I mean, does Beck even see that? Does anyone in his audience? Do they really think that "health-Care" was the definitive mark of the Third Reich? DO THESE PEOPLE HAVE EVEN THE SLIGHTEST CLUE?

How does Fox expalin all this? How would Beck?

In any case, it's proof positive that, even in the era of the internet and the world-wide-web, we still have people like Beck trying to lock us in a mind-numbing, un-thinking Mini-True style dark age.
