Rising Tides of Blood
July 28th, 2010
Inspired by The danger of political intolerance (SFGate 7/25/10), Glenn Beck’s Incendiary Angst Is Dangerously Close to Having a Body Count (Huffington Post 7/27/10), and What if Byron Williams had been a teetotaler? (The Guardian 7/28/10).
The Lunatic Fringe’s angry prophet
Is attacking a small liberal-leaning non-profit.
Glenn Beck believes that the Tides Foundation
Is a major threat to our once free nation.
Tides only has a staff of 32.
Who would have thought such a small group such damage could do.
According to Glenn, Tides is the Central Committee
Of a Marxist/socialist/Nazi plot to destroy our democracy.
Noone would know this, if not for Glenn.
He’s attacked Tides on air again and again.
It’s staffed by “thugs” and “bullies” involved in “the nasty of the nastiest”
To destroy the country with which we’ve been blessed.
What is this nasty thugish behavior Tides is involved in?
They fund educational materials to indoctrinate our children.
Glenn seemed to particularly hate the Tides-funded Story of Stuff:
They came out with a movie, as if the book weren’t bad enough.
Glenn makes all these claims without any evidence
(As usual, when lacking facts, he invents).
He doesn’t say how Tides will do the things of which he accuses,
He just repeats the long list of Tides’ supposed abuses.
One look at their website should make it clear
That Glenn is completely justified in mongering fear.
Half of the page is taken up by solicitations
For Gulf Coast oil disaster relief donations.
Tides 32 employees are creating a “mass organization to seize power.”
(Where when you need him is our savior, Jack Bauer?)
How a non-profit with 32 employees could seize power is beyond me,
But maybe I’d understand if I watched Glenn regularly.
Byron Williams, in contrrast, was one of Glenn’s regular viewers,
And was inspired by Glenn’s revelations to kill these evil-doers.
He strapped on his body armor and packed up
A 9mm, shotgun, rifle, and armor-piercing ammo into his pick-up.
Byron set out for San Fran, that den of liberal iniquity
(Only progressives and gays live in that God-forsaken city).
He planned to wipe Tides out in an act of premeditated assassination
(A small price to pay to save our great Nation).
While there, he also planned to wipe out the local ACLU,
Which based on their history of evil seemed like a reasonable thing to do.
Byron thought his act would spark a political revolution of people following his lead,
Who like him the words of their Master unquestionably heed.
“Kill them all,” the ex-slave said,
Then killed and killed until all the oppressors were dead.
Did Byron watch Spartacus: Blood and Sand after the Glenn Beck show
Before he packed up his truck, on his holy mission to go?
Maybe, but he also appears to have had at least one drink
(What would have happened without which I hate to think).
Byron was soon driving drunk and out of control
And was pulled over by the CA Highway Patrol.
He opened fire and wounded two patrolmen,
And kept firing until wounded and brought down then.
Byron Williams thus adds his name to the list
Of those willing to use violence, government tyranny to resist.
Glenn, your show is an inspiration
For those not in need of agitation.
Stop now, before the rising tides becomes a flood.
Stop now, before the rising tides are soaked with blood.

Here’s your theme music, Tides of Blood by Into Etermity. The unfortunately appropriate lyrics, hard to understand in the song, are reproduced below.
Tides of Blood by Into Etermity
Unrelenting screams are deafened
Running away from this unknown pain
Barriers of reality
Scour the black for answers to
Questions unknown
Eyes awake it seems
This nightmare’s ending
Clutching your chest
Wipe the sweat from your brow
There will be blood before the end
The tides of blood consume you
Your life is slowly taken
Fate lies the path before you
Premonitions of death flash before me
Turning away from this reverie
Rising tides flooding over me
Finding strength in solitude
Never-ending
Eyes awake
This nightmare’s never ending
Clutching my chest
The pain begins
There will be blood before the end
The tides of blood consume you
Your life is slowly taken
Fate lies the path before you
Eyes awake
The blackness is surrounding
Grasping for strength
Face this dark certainty
There will be blood before the end
The tides of blood consume you
Your life is slowly taken
Fate lies the path before you
