For a laugh I went to Glenn Beck's page to look at some comments on the various articles about Obama's win. Here are some choice bits:

- Texas can show the US the path to prosperity by nullifying Obamacare, creating a silver-based currency, and preventing the EPA from operating in the state. Secede if necessary. Texas' secession is inevitable, so you should move to Texas if you don't support Obama.
- Obama can now put into effect his plan to let terrorists make further attacks here.
- When Obama said "This is my last election" to Medvedev, he meant that he is going to make himself a dictator so there will be no more elections.
- Unless God intervenes, America will be destroyed within the year.
- The fact that he was re-elected means that somehow Obama can now destroy America like he's always planned.
- The root of Obama's evil is when Satan created the Federal Reserve.
- Obama couldn't have lost because 100% of people receiving food stamps and unemployment voted for him.
- Sharia law is imminent.

I remember a lot of nonsense about Bush from some on the left when he was re-elected, but I don't remember if it was this bad.

Unfortunately, I know what this is about.

It's... bad. Like facepalm bad.

Ah, I just remember a fringe group that wants to horde all this silver and wait for the End of the World as We Know itâ„¢.

They want it to happen, so they can be the new ruling elite while everyone else is running around crazy in their new anarchic paradise, eating each other.

This is a real thing.

I thought Beck was all about endorsing Goldline - I guess they pissed him off too.

Good point. Silver currency would deflate Beck's retirement portfolio.
