The Fox News audience doesn't grasp multiple sentences unless presented in a 2nd grade form. Random words put together to create a backronym let them think "Hey! Maybe this means something! I'll consult my astrology book!"
Oligarchy: a form of government in which power effectively rests with a small elite segment of society distinguished by royal, wealth, intellectual, family, military or religious hegemony.

Sounds like Bush
Bush & Company.. company still occupying positions in the current administration. 6:45
Also gotta love the "I don't know if we're turning into an 'oligarhy' or what we're turning into, but unless you ask 'why', we're gonna transform into something."
Pretty much summarizes all those right wing commentators. "I don't know wtf I'm talking about, but all this talk of a vague threat will surely enrage my audience (aka gun-toting rednecks). thumbsup"

>> ^brain: "ACORN selects... TIDES" What the hell does that even mean? Beck Translation: "I had to explain to the Fox News audience why the first letters from random words mean something together."
"They all select their words first, then tie them all together into one word." What the hell does that mean?! Beck Translation: "If I do it too, I'll cancel them out!."
"I don't know if we're turning into an oligarchy or what we're turning into" Then why the hell did you attempt to spell the word oligarchy?! Beck Translation: "My motto in my TV career is to always tell people what I think, but when I'm too extreme, I'll follow that with a huge caveat. For example: I believe Obama is a racist, with a deep seated hatred for white people. But I'm not saying he doesn't like white people!."
"ACORN selects... TIDES" What the hell does that even mean?
I heard "tithes". As in a religious tax. It doesn't connect to anything else he said, but there's no rule that Glenn Beck has to be coherent. edit: Alternatively he meant to say "titles" but was having too much of a paranoid nervous breakdown to pronounce it correctly.
"They all select their words first, then tie them all together into one word." What the hell does that mean?!
I think he means that organizations decide what word they want their acronym to spell out, then try to find a sequence of words that will spell the acronym out. (Usually they manage to spell the word correctly).
"I don't know if we're turning into an oligarchy or what we're turning into" Then why the hell did you attempt to spell the word oligarchy?!
Because he's on fox news and therefor he's contractually obligated to be an intellectually dishonest git.
It's such a perfect touch to the joke that his whole point is that the letter "y" sounds the same in English as the word "why," and therefore we should ask Obama "why."
Arguments are supposed to be based on logic, not on linguistic coincidences!

Sounds like Bush
Sounds like the Kennedy's too, along with 90% of the US political culture. Actually more so the Kennedy's since there's a larger extended family and they didn't get their money in a super legit way.

AUTOCRATS, ROLL OUT!
does he know he's a conspiracy nut? doesn't the GOP hate conspiracy theorists?
*news
Ladies and gentleman, I am not making any sense!
This convinces me that he is openly mocking his audience now. You'd have to try to be this stupid on television.
That explanation actually makes the most sense. Well, that or Beck has just decided to do his show while cracked out on meth.
bwahahaha

I actually started to appreciate Glen B a little while ago when I realized the only thing missing from his show sometimes is a laugh track.
Someone add this to comedy, please!
I can't fully hate a guy that wears Chucks with a suit.
G.ullible L.unatic E.xaggerating N.onsensical N.ews, B.abbling E.xcreta, C.omplete K.ook.
Hmm, it all seems so clear now....
FOX news is really a Koffmanesque tabloid news network. Is it all staged or real?
He is condemned by folks who believe "Government lowers costs by getting involved." ha ha.
ha.

What a freaking retard.
