This is a classic example of Glenn Beck fearmongering and blatantly lying
I'm in the process of creating a video on the right wing hate rhetoric we've been subjected to for the past several years and came across this video published by TYT about 10 months ago. They captured an audio clip from one of Glenn Beck's radio shows where he suggests progressives are all about eugenics and euthanasia and our ideals are similar to Mao, Stalin & Hitler. "Progressives are a great and powerful EVIL heading our way." TYT then is able to capture a caller to the show scared to death that the progressives want to end her life because she hurt her back on the job, is now on disability, and we see her as having no value in life. Never mind it is totally lost on this poor woman that it is the Glenn Becks of this country who want to end health care, worker safety, injury and disability compensation, the very programs progressives support with a passion. Fortunately, Cenk caught that irony as well and spoke about it.

Of all of the hate rhetoric I've perused over the past several days, this one in particular has made me gasp. Please take the time to listen to the entire exchange.
