Bette Midler Warns Glenn Beck Could Set Off a Rwanda-Like Civil War in U.S.

What did Midler compare Beck to? She likened the popular Fox News host to the instigators of the Rwandan civil war, which was the catalyst for the Rwandan genocide where an estimated 800,000 to 1 million lost their lives.

“If you look around at the rest of the world and what this kind of behavior has done, like in Rwanda, where the demagogues got on the radio and fomented all that hate between the Tutsis and the Hutus and the devastation that happened from that, I mean, it’s terrifying,” Midler said.

According to Midler, that’s a possibility in the United States.

“And that could happen, you know, you could turn on a dime,” Midler warned. “That could happen here.”

This is hysteria and hyperbole, of the same kind that fuels the survivalist right and its current gun and ammo buying spree. The US is not Rwanda. What the crazies ARE likely to instigate is an accelerating outbreak of Tim McVeigh style terrorist violence; bombings, assassinations, etc.; by deranged but well-equipped individuals or very small groups.
