Youth assassins

Glenn Beck Attacks Powershift, Youth Movement Calling for Clean Energy
Was there ever a man who was wrong more often about more stuff than Glenn Beck? I know history has its share of demagogues, but Beck is certain to go down as one of the most profoundly prolific. Yesterday, he revived an old meme that conservative politicians love to lob around -- that the green movement is trying to indoctrinate your children! Trying to turn them against you! Even, as Beck exclaims in the video above, trying to get them to kill you! His target? Powershift, the event that gathers thousands of young climate and clean energy leaders from around the nation.


That's the tenuous link Beck tries to draw between the radical movements of the 60s, including the Weather Underground from which he draws his quote, and the extraordinarily peaceful gathering of college students and community leaders at Powershift.

I knew2 it. Powershift assassins! Stay away from me all who went to DC this past weekend!  Glenn wouldn't lie!
