Beck has created an online "Beck University" to spread his unique views of the past and has hosted "Founders' Fridays" on his television show, devoted to rewriting the nation's early history as that of a fundamentalist state.
When the subject turns, as it usually does, to President Obama, Beck again sees lessons from history. In particular, he has seized upon two individuals who he believes provide excellent historical parallels to the 44th commander in chief: Woodrow Wilson and Adolf Hitler.
You don't understand how Obama is tied to a genocidal monster and to an American president who died 86 years ago? Allow Professor Beck to explain.
Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Reserve Act, brought back the draconian income tax, helped to create a nice power vacuum for a tyrant to fill in Germany, and created an ally for Nazi Germany by breaking up the Austrian-Hungarian empire and causing massive resentment among Magyars who wanted to reclaim some of their ethnic territory back. Woodrow Wilson demonstrated terrific ineptness for being the only president with a Ph. D., but helps to prove that book smarts aren't exactly in line with leading a country.
Two of the Progressive brothers of the early 1900's. Where the freedom of all mankind took a turn for the worse. Power trips and Constitutional corruption has ensued ever since, in big and small steps.

"Unlike his Hitler fetish, Beck's obsession with Woodrow Wilson is of recent origin. 'I mean, I got to tell you, two years ago, I knew nothing about Woodrow Wilson,' he told his viewers. But after reading a book on Wilson by conservative historian R.J. Pestritto of Hillsdale College, Beck decided to blame Wilson for just about everything bad in the world today -- including Barack Obama, born 37 years after Wilson died.

"And that is why Beck hates [Wilson]. The Progressive Era was the time of muckrakers and such things as the struggle to abolish child labor, break up monopolies, clean up meat-processing plants and give women the right to vote. For Beck, this was a dark time."
Yeah, its the same thing Obama dose, calls everyone that disagrees racist.
funny how these extremist views are so similar. just pull the race card, that will do it
every time.
"And finally, on Sept. 18, 2009, Beck delivered proof of the nefarious link between the two presidents: the 'Tree of Revolution.'

"In summary, Woodrow Wilson mated with an Argentine revolutionary and a Chicago radical, gave birth to a 1960s antiwar group and a pair of Columbia academics, who in turn spawned ACORN, the SEIU, the Apollo Alliance, the Weather Underground, George Soros -- and Barack Obama."

Non-farm child labor was virtually non-existent in this country at least 20 years before Wilson took office.
There were no monopolies either. Standard Oil was probably the only major monopoly in htis country (except government) and they were down to 80% market share by the time the Feds decided to break them up. Again, several years before Wilson was President.
Beck is a regressive so he naturally hates progressives.
The last thing progressives are for is progress.
