Why are media people like Glenn Beck and others calling peaceful supporters of the Constitution terrorists?

Question

80% of America is now against the war and the signing statements that have stripped away our Constitutional rights.

Ron Paul and his supporters want to restore those rights and civil liberties and then people like Glenn Beck go after them by calling them domestic terrorists.

That is insane!

How can supporting freedom and our Constitutional rights align real American's with terrorists.

I thought America was fighting the war on terror and trying to spread freedom around the World.

Then why is it when you try to spread freedom in America and protect and uphold the Constitution which gives us our American freedom - you are labeled a terrorist?

I thought that was called patriotism - am I mistaken - is it now a crime and an act of terror to uphold and observe the rights given to Americans in the Constitution?

Can someone explain this craziness to me?

I agree

Demagogues may make use of logical fallacies, though persuasion may require no use of logic. While it may not rely heavily upon outright lies, the use of half-truths, omissions, and distortions are what define demagogy — it is, in essence, giving bad-faith arguments for the purpose of political gain.

Answer 1

Because their core following is comprised of the incredibly naive, the emotionally unstable, religious crackpots, those without the intellectual capacity to comprehend the information provided in a grammar school civics class, anti-American thugs, the Chicken Little crowd and those pathetic, gray, little, powerless creatures that believe they can replace their lack of identity by adopting the agenda of those who promote themselves as being superior to others.

As long as these miserable excuses for human beings continue to follow Beck and his ilk, increasing their ratings and their profits, you can expect that the bar of political and social discourse will continue to be lowered.

Answer 2

The actual percentage against the war is 68 percent and for it is 27 percent

Answer 3

WOW! Where did you get that crazy poll number....80% Sounds like a moveon.org poll. Or something from the Ron Paul camp.

I sounds like you apparently support Ron Paul (sorry) According to FITSNews - September 23, 2007, Ron Paul. Is scoring big with white supremacist voters.

Do you even know the definition of Terrorism? Here you go: the most simplistic characteristic generally agreed upon is that terrorism involves violence and the threat of violence.

Here is the definition of Patriotism:
in the most elementary sense of the term (the word derives from the Latin patria or “fatherland”), suggests the loyalty that all citizens owe to their country or nation.

Islamofacism must be stopped!! (Islam go home)

Answer 4

This was a great question. The response above me said it best - you are merely labeled a terrorist. Simply by labeling you as one, the vast majority of neoconservatives and others who loathe the Constitution (and fear the people) believe it. Of course, no evidence is required.

Countries work best when governments fear the people, not vice versa...

Answer 5

Oh, dear you are so mislead. I watch Beck's program every so often, and ALWAYS he protects the Constitution and many times refers to it as proof of what he believes. Furthermore, the craziness starts with you, and you need to unwind, give up on the tangents, and read American history.
I wish you luck!

Answer 6

You sort of answered your own question: You are LABELED a terrorist.
Labeling is a powerful tool to knock down your opponent.
The Republicans are much much better at this than the Democrats.
The Actual issue is really irrelevant.

Answer 7

Because Glenn Beck and his ilk are demagogues.
