MODERATORS
i think he was supposed to circle the AC in acorn but fucked up
edit: wait no that doesn't spell it either - i'm about as smart as glenn beck
totally didn't notice at first lmao
He had one that rhymes with loon but they made him erase it
Could have said communist, crazy, callous, centralist, cancerous, etc. So many possible c words. They weren't sending their best.
He is Mormon
caffeine
Again, Mormon
I think he just genuinely didn't know how to spell oligarch.
Oh my god I totally forgot about that time when Acorn was the chud cause celebre
I picked 3 completely random boards. Didn't even realize acorn was on all of them until after lmao
Yes, I read theory 
no the moderate republicans were in the 1950s and 1960s. oh wait was something going on back then too?
maybe the 1860s
Back when "radical republicans" were good and cool 
oliGAARRHH
That last one spells out "OLIGARH"
Bruh you couldn't just put Commies in there or some shit?
1865?
I think it's end of the civil war/start of reconstruction.
"The commies are talking down to you! I will prove it with my condescending classroom-style chalkboard prop!"
it's fucking crazy how these people are still angry at Woodrow Wilson.
where's the fucking democrat who's still angry at segregationists even (to be clear this is bad, but it's wild the difference in views toward history in the parties)
A lot of libs and leftists also hate Woodrow Wilson for re-segregating the federal government and beginning the 1st Red Scare.
Wasn't the League of Nations his deal too? So imperialism that led to WW1 and Zionist mandate in British Palestine, add those to the list
He practically invented US imperalism in its modern form https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilsonianism
Damn I hate this guy too now!
Since trade ignores national boundaries and the manufacturer insists on having the world as a market, the flag of his nation must follow him, and the doors of the nations which are closed must be battered down. Concessions obtained by financiers must be safeguarded by ministers of state, even if the sovereignty of unwilling nations be outraged in the process. Colonies must be obtained or planted, in order that no useful corner of the world may be overlooked or left unused.
—Woodrow Wilson in an unpublished paper of 1907, as quoted in The Rising American Empire (1960) by Richard Warner Van Alstyne, p. 201
90s conspiracy New World Order stuff was heavily based on the idea of the UN being an evil forerunner to One World Government(tm) that was taking away US national sovereignty. So Wilson was a special villian for trying to start the process earlier with the Leauge if Nations.
Glenn Beck was doing a rip off of Alex Jones Unified Conspiracy Theory/NWO shtick, which was all a rehashing of John Birch Society shit, which was itself a repackaging of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
You know the sad thing is people wanted to mainline crazy so bad that Beck could not keep up. People swapped to Alex Jones who is a more pure source of crazy.
he was the original. Beck was a mainstream rip off
Imagine thinking SEIU is revolutionary in any way shape or form. Many of their employees aren't even unionized and they union bust their own people. I know a bunch of SEIU workers who were fired for trying to unionize in my area. They're the absolute bare minimum for a workers union and even calling them that is a stretch.
There was a point early on his TV show where he was actually fairly moderate and sane. It was before this, and I know it for a fact, because I was a little politics freak who watched his show during that period. He didn't get good ratings and he started getting real kooky with it. Or maybe I was just a chud, who knows.
Early in the Trump years didn’t he try to go vaguely lib and then ditched that when trump was embraced wholly by the establishment
I do believe there was a "Glenn Beck, welcome to the Resistance" moment
Yeah he went on everyone's least favorite Daily Show alumnus' show to talk about how important it was to mend the divide.
Lol, his first episode had a section of the screen that was zoomed in on his eyes
On his CNN show?
Fox News. Forgot he had that cnn thing.
Yeah I stopped watching him while he was still at CNN, that's when he started getting kooky with it.
Ah, gotcha.
You know that reveal was very satisfying for someone. I bet they shouted the answer out two seconds before he literally spelled it out for them.
Back then they were also talking about how Republicans have become extreme and that there was a time in the past when Republicans were sane and moderate. Like poetry, it rhymes
Do you remember back in the day when Republicans would only take basic rights away from trans people, but now try to take away every woman's rights if they don't want to become a housewife? I remember when they used to be sane and moderate. 
🥰
I wish we were half as cool then as Glen Beck thought we were.
