Then why is Glenn Beck getting his undies in a bundle about it?
I think there is ample evidence that the Muslim Brotherhood is very powerful in Egypt and it is a radical group spouting moderate words in public. I think, Israel and other sane people (I can't speak to Beck's comments since I don't know what they were) are concerned that an Iranian style government may emerge from this. A very bad result for the region, the US and the world.
You certainly aren't suggesting you know how this will turn out?
This, of course, was obvious to those of us with half a brain--and not given to crackpot conspiracy theories. Marxists and communists...where the hell did that idea come from anyway?
I'd heard somewhere that Beck is recycling John Birch Society paranoia.
You know - the guys who claimed President Eisenhower was a communist operative and that flouridating the water supply was a communist plot to take over America.
Welch wrote in a widely circulated statement, The Politician, "Could Eisenhower really be simply a smart politician, entirely without principles and hungry for glory, who is only the tool of the Communists? The answer is yes." He went on. "With regard to ... Eisenhower, it is difficult to avoid raising the question of deliberate treason."[38]
The controversial paragraph was removed before final publication of The Politician.[39]
The sensationalism of Welch's charges against Eisenhower prompted several conservatives and Republicans, most prominently Goldwater and the intellectuals of William F. Buckley's circle, to renounce outright or quietly shun the group. Buckley, an early friend and admirer of Welch, regarded his accusations against Eisenhower as "paranoid and idiotic libels" and attempted unsuccessfully to purge Welch from the Birch Society.

Calm down and let the people of Egypt handle this.

LOL, who's excited? This has the potential to be a very dangerous situation. Denying the the potential dangers doesn't make them go away. It was you who asked why Beck was concerned, I explained it to you. You can cross your fingers and hope everything goes ok, or hope we have some grown ups in Washington who will try to nudge things in the right direction.
Still wondering why the OP and jojan haven't linked their proof to what they claim are beck's lies specifically? Could it be because they only heckle and never back up their claims?
