BECK: MEET MR. PUTIN, MY NEW FAVORITE THUG

Glenn Beck is actually boasting today that one of his theories has been echoed by the Putin regime:

LIKE BECK, RUSSIA NOTICES GOOGLE ROLE IN EGYPT UNREST

If you’ve read the news lately, you might have heard Glenn Beck has been discussing Google.... [H]e's ... skeptical of the company's government connections and two of its executive's involvement in the Egyptian revolution. It seems Russia might agree.

In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, and reported by Reuters, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin’s deputy blamed Google for stirring up trouble in Egypt.

"Look what they have done in Egypt, those highly-placed managers of Google, what manipulations of the energy of the people took place there," Russian Deputy Prime Minister Igor Sechin reportedly told the Wall Street Journal....

We already know that some right-wingers love to contrast Putin's shirtless macho strutting with Barack Obama's distaste for grandiose alpha-dog displays. Now we have Beck seeing starbursts as Putin's surrogate accuses Google of being an enemy to world peace. The great bipolar freedom-fighter, along with a lot of his right-wing confreres, really won't be happy until he and they get to be part of the Ministry of Truth for an overt jackbooted fascist in America.
