Republicans are running out of lies to tell about what is going on in Wisconsin. They fear that their base might notice that the right to bargain is about freedom, and the last thing they want is for the word to get out that they are doing this to remove their competition in future elections. So even the more moderate pundits are getting testy. Yesterday Joe Scarborough called Wisconsin teachers selfish and sick. But for a base used to such grand theories as birtherism and blood-libel, nothing so mundane will do. So the Republican Ministry of Propaganda, aka Fox, has obtained the services of an Antichrist “expert” to explain how all the world events we see happening, including the Wisconsin protests, are happening because Obama is the Antichrist.

Glenn Beck told viewers of his Fox News program today that the U.N., unions and the Muslim Brotherhood were all just working towards a New World Order and that protesters in Wisconsin were "looking to create chaos on the backs of the worker when the world’s focus is on Egypt." "Unions claim the cuts will affect teachers but it’s not the everyday teacher that this story is really all about," Beck said. "There are three groups of people," Beck explained. "They want a new world order. This is your choice. One world government. This is open society. This is United Nations, whatever you want to call it. One world government. They have lots of money and lots of power and they have NGOs, non-governmental organizations." "This is the United Islamics Nations, this is the one the Muslim Brotherhood is going for now. But it all looked like this, a new world order. They are organized, too. They have the religion and mosques and apparently help from Google as well… at least in Egypt. "Then you have this one, workers union, they call it state capitalism. Really what it was good old-fashioned communism. They have unions and community organizing," he said… [emphasis added]

The article does not tie Beck’s conspiracy mongering into their claim that Obama is the Antichrist, but Rachel Maddow does in rare form.

Talking sense to Republicans is so difficult, because so many of them actually believe this garbage. It also reveals the Machiavellian extent of Republican misinformation through their Ministry of Propaganda, and their anointed Supply-side Jesus holy warrior, Glen Beck.
