this is what happened to glenn beck.ore and more obscure advertisers paying less and less. you see a smaller version of that happening here. now, beck's situation was with fox news. this is different but it does show when people vote with their wallets that is does have an effect here. this is not going to be the end of limbaugh but it shows even if he's able to say outrageous things politically, sort of the offensiveness with which he's able to say things, this may serve some warning to him. >> and i think you raise a good point about beck but i don't want anyone to think that you were tap dancing on anyone's grave. but i'll let that go. james, let me say to you one thing i think that comes out of this that is already positive for those of us that talked to limbaugh and his advertisers, this does confirm that these kinds of appeals to advertisers work, that it's not as limbaugh tries to tell beck that these things don't cause money and effect. >> that's exactly right. kudos to the flush rush campaign and stop rush hash

it's not justify glenn beck who's a lunatic on this. paul and bill maher have made similar comments. look at the poll, 44% of republicans support an armed revolution within a couple of years, and nationwide, it's 20 the 9%, they think an armed revolution might be necessary within a couple of years. 29% of the country nearly half of the republicans. about a third of the country is cuckoo for cocoa puffs. let's bring in the panel. andrew carell is in new york city and she's their senior politics and national coverage editor. great to have both of you here. andrew, first of all you're a libertarian, ron paul's a libertarian, glenn beck, i don't know what he is. tell me about ron paul and bill maher pushing that the police overreacted, that it was like a police state. >> there are legitimate concerns in these situations. i think bill maher and ron paul% have a sort of counter balance the rahrahrah. you get the sense if it was a republican administration, he would not have made similar remarks. there is a demonized administration, for whatev

your idea of what a card should be. >>> glenn beck has it all figured out. is really going on. mr. beck now says there's a media conspiracy to portray him as a conspiracy theorist. >> the media has a story line and an agenda, and they will get to it. currently the story line is conspiracy theorist. why is it a concentrated effort, more than any other time in my career, why is it a concentrated effort now to label me a conspiracy theorist? >> glenn beck as a conspiracy theorist? that's crazy talk. how did we ever get that idea? >> should the pictures be revealed? >> no. >> how do we know bin laden is dead? >> you don't. they are trying to recreate the arab spring in america. this spring. and it starts in about a week. and gang, it's going to get bad. >> we have been sold to radical islam. >> i have the smoking gun. i have it right here. >> if the president wins, i don't know how we survive. i will tell you, last week we purchased more farmland as a family. may i recommend, if you have a chance to buy farmland, you buy farmland. >> buy farmland because the pres

she said this on glenn beck's facebook page.nt on to say in a radio interview that she knows the american government is behind the boston bombing because jeff baumana bombing victim who helped identify the suspects was not screaming in agony after both of his legs were broken off. well ms. tremblay, you didn't scream in agony when your association with the tea party exploded your brain. why do we need a terrorist attack to divert us from bush and obama's war crimes when the main treatment media has that covered already. wtf, new hampshire you're a gorgeous state. j.d. salinger lived in your state and never said a word. can't you get one lunatic to shut up? coming on to me all the time now.

if that is the theory, glenn beck, you have until monday and then it will all be exposed. remember right before the election the reaction on the right to the unemployment rate going under 8%? obviously, the answer cannot be, yeah, the unemployment rate is dropping, and it can't be, yeah, it's good for the country but we on the right, that would be a normal political reaction. today, there has to be a conspiracy by the obama administration to rig the unemployment rate for political purposes. the same congressman, jeff duncan, who asked janet napolitano about the real bomber and the boston bombing conspiracy coverup, that same congressman has also now sponsored legislation that would get rid of the unemployment rate. it would effectively eliminate the unemployment rate and any measure of economic growth or the size of the economy by prohibiting the census bureau from gathering the information, including the unemployment rate. because who needs that, and besides, that gives them less to manipulate for political purposes. today in congress, the attack on the diplomatic mission

glenn beck of all people was not pleased. >> i find it sad and tragic. here's a woman who has weathered much. really gone and gone the extra mile and really just taken it. just taken it over and over and over again. they've accused her of everything. they've never come up with anything that has ever stuck to her. she is much more of a founder, and she looks at the role in washington different than those like john mccain. so those dirt bags remain, and michele bachmann now leaves. >> so let me get this straight. john mccain war hero is a dirt bag and there you are wearing a savari jacket. nice work. anyway, that was john mccain who called out michele bachmann for suggesting huma abedin had ties to the muslim brotherhood without evidence at all. by the way, bachmann is actually with a congressional delegation in russia. >>> next, remember what barbara bush said recently when asked if she wanted another bush in the white house? specifically her son, jeb, in 2016? >> he's by far the best qualified man, but no, i don't. there are a lot of great families, and

. >> glenn beck believes our very souls are at stake. >> usually write things about 20 minutes on the back of a napkin before i speak. >> the motto was stand and fight. >> the theme of the convention, stand and fight. >> words like battle, war. >> us against them. >> and stand and fight. >> we must remain vigilant. >> fear mongers. >> they don't get it because they don't get america. >> a cultural war the nra would like to wage. >> nothing new with the nra. >> absolutely nothing. >> doubling down on out of touch rhetoric. >> the nra needs to make president obama into a villain. >> president obama is awal. >> we need five more votes. we can do this. >> i think there will be an electoral price to be paid. >> the news media called me paranoid. >> paranoid fantasies. >> the epicenter of paranoid patriotism. >> really, he is frightened the losing what power he has. >> all the piers morgan, lawrence o'donnells, rachel maddows, pound that message over and over again, over and over again, over and over again. >>> tonight, some members of the united states senate regret the decision to follow

if they didn't, they wouldn't have invited glenn beck as their keynoter. here's beck. >> the freedom of all mankind, make no mistake, is at stake. and because of this, i truly believe that our souls are at stake as well. i am amazed at how many of my new york friends have become absolute dopes and just will accept the soda ban, the popcorn ban, the salt ban. they'll just accept it. i, by the way, just a quick note, i want to throw in an advertisement here. i've come up with a new advertisement for new york. we all know "i heart new york." i'd like to show you my new advertisement for it, new slogan. there it is. "you will love new york." >> you know, i can't overplay how far right this country's gotten. and anybody who's watching, progressives or middle of the roaders, if you don't see what's happening with these people, you don't have to cartoonize them. you have a nazi salute there, the mayor of new york wants to have a limit on 16 ounce sodas. this idea of making moderate politicians like mike bloomberg, who's really a centrist, into some sort of left,

angela, i'd like to play, again, a clip we heard earlier, glenn beck comparing new york city mayor, mrerg, to hitler. take a listen. >> i've come up for a new advertisement for new york. we all know "i heart new york." i'd like to show you my new advertisement for it, new slogan. there it is. "you will love new york." >> angela, why is so much of their language about the need to fear the government, to be in trepidation and anxiety of government? >> well, martin, what's even more frightening about this politics of fear that they continue to utilize is the very fact that hatred is the foundation for it. to compare mayor bloomberg to hitler, when there's an overwhelming population of jewish people in new york city and, of course, throughout the country, it's so offensive and it brings back unnecessary memories of a genocide that happened under hitler's watch. to restrict gun violence, to ensure people are safe in their homes and their communities, actually flies in the face of everything hitler stood for. this is a mayor who's fighting to ensure communities throughout the country, whethe
