Speaking on “The O’Reilly Factor” Glenn Beck and Bill O’Reilly had some heated words over history, American hegemony and the uprising taking place in Egypt.
Although both the men agreed that the Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak is a "bad guy" who the U.S. is "in bed with" that was the only thing they could see eye to eye about.
Beck’s view of the uprisings was pessimistic. The controversial radio host and author said the situation remaindered him of the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand in 1914 which sparked the beginning of World War I.
He also called on the U.S. to “be like Switzerland” commenting that the uprising was proof that the hostility felt toward the U.S. by many Egyptians was not against “our freedoms” but due to America’s meddling in the rest of the world.
O’Reilly responded saying “We tried to stay out of World War II...and it was a disaster.”
They also commented on the protests themselves, on the eve of Egypt’s planned million man march. Beck said he believed the uprising “is being orchestrated by the Marxist Communists and the Muslim Brotherhood." Beck said that the toppling of the Egyptian government could lead to a caliphate across the Islamic world.
Beck then returned to U.S. foreign policy saying “We have to stand for something…[Mubarak] is torturing people with our money!"

Glenn Beck is one step away from a padded room in a nut house. He sees every group who doesn't agree with him as hitler or stalin, or some sort of end of the world harbinger. He probably prays to the U.S. founders every night.. unless he already thinks he is one. Beck has been hawking armageddon survivalist food and backpacks for nearly a year. There is a website. I kid you not. O'Reilly is just your typical hot headed arsehole with the tv equivalent of a radio show. He shouldn't have even bothered to "debate" with Beck. Its like arguing with a Parrot, he has made himself look foolish.

The USA can't "act like Switzerland" because the USA hasn't Switzerland's centuries of neutrality! Who can remember a time when Switzerland invaded someone? Even IF the USA did think it invaded "for noble causes, invasions kill people. Anger and revenge ensue. Sound familiar to anyone?

Glen Beck anti-semitic? Please read your own words...anti-communist, anti-marxist, anti-terrorist, YES! It doesn't matter if the person is Jewish, Christian, Muslim, blue, green or purple... come on people! You need to get you head out of your arse!

Excellent contribution by Beck. He's gone up in my estimation.
