Watching Hardball with David Shuster tonight, I was exposed to the video of Glenn Beck innocently comparing President Barack Obama to notorious fascist dictators such as Adolf Hitler. Sure, Beck is a fraud but I don’t think even he deserves to accidentally feature himself in an image like this:
Someone might confuse him with a militant Nazi. The image fit right in with the batshit crazies that Shuster sparred with tonight, one of who was Alan Gottlieb of The Second Amendment Foundation who managed to stutter out some of the more disturbing passages from the Dick Cheney bible (i.e. “Look out, the government is coming for you.”) before Shuster finally cut him off and teabagged him.
(Late) UPDATE:
I initially misquoted Alan Gottlieb, in summarizing his argument, as saying, “Obama works for Muslims.” Gottlieb said nothing of the sort, and my error has been corrected.

You have me qouted as saying “Obama works for Muslims.” I never said that. Please correct it on your wab site. You are spreading false information.

Mr. Gottlieb,
You are absolutely correct that you didn’t say “Obama works for Muslims.”
I apologize for insinuating as much and I’ll correct my error.
I used “i.e.” to indicate I was paraphrasing your argument, and I accidentally misstated it.
Comment!
