Apparently he is going to deliver "our state of the union". It is apparently "based on the rings of a tree". To set up the schtick he has a white rabbit, a chain saw, admits he has never used an actual chain saw (surprise!), some other guy with an electric chain saw,some chunks of a tree. He said the blogs would post about him and his bunny. He was right. Not cuz I care about his gimmick, the bunny, or the chainsaw. But just because its freaky.

Hey, I've been saying from day one that the guy's a kook...he's just getting more overt about it.

Made total sense to me. You just can't understand because your liberal bias prevents you from grasping simple truths.

That was one of the stranger, more incoherent things I've ever watched. Did he even have a point, other than "liberals like trees and bunnies, so let's pretend to threaten them"? Perhaps progressives have been going about it wrong; in order to get our agenda implemented we need to use super-secret double-reverse psychology to make the reactionaries think we want the opposite--clearly they would adopt any agenda simply to think we wanted the opposite.

I think he'll have some analogy to the original constitution plus first ten amendments as being the inner sapling ring, with later events such as the civil war scarring the outer skin, which gets covered over with additional amendments, those creating unsightly knots in the wood - nobody likes a plank with a knothole in it - and so on.

I figure he'll work the US Code in there as well, call it some sort of parasitic layer that is poisoning the tree and causing rot, use visuals of a section of rotted tree to anchor that association with the government.

I expect the thrust of his presentation will be a need to strip away the rotted wood and clean away the parasites, carve out the knots, so that the tree of america can be healed, and that it needs to be done before the parasites and rot reach that center core of original constitutional goodness. Act soon, or the tree falls.

Beck worries me greatly. Much has been made of his "Shoot them in the head" words, but not so noticed is that those words were from last June. What's he been saying since then?

There's a couple things that come to mind on this. One, they're gathering strength and they're going inside our government. Their chief organizer is the president of the United States. SEIU is part of ACORN. ACORN and SEIU -- stop separating them in your head. They are the same group of people. SEIU is the one that is pushing health care through. They're the ones that met with the drug companies. They're the ones -- these are the people that are strong-arming. When Wal-Mart decides to meet and decide on whether or not they're for health care, who meets with them? SEIU. These people are thugs.

Please don't let this message fall on deaf ears. Please. I fear that there will come a time when I cannot say things that I am currently saying. I fear that it will come to television and to radio, and I will stop saying these things. Understand me clearly. Hear me now. If I ever stop saying these things, you will know why. Because I will have made a choice that I can only say certain things, and I haven't lost all of the rights. But know that these things are true. And if you hear me stop saying these things, it's because I can no longer say them to you. But hear them between the sentences. Hear them, please. I will be screaming them to you.

So SEIU, a relatively loosely affiliated Union with 1.8 million members across several industries is somehow running the agenda? SEIU has enough strength to muscle up to Wal-Mart? and drug companies.

This guy is unstable.

This guy is unstable.

And his followers are even more unstable, and active.
