And yes, the White Horse Prophesy was mentioned. Milbank mentioned how Beck "spoke in code words" to other Mormons, particularly regarding the "end times."
He also--I think erroneously--tied in Beck's "recovery" from alcoholism and cocaine addiction (I use the term recovery loosely), a disclosure that prompted me to send a long e-mail to the show (had it been on Chris Matthews' "Hardball," I would've sent it directly to Chris) detailing how Beck does not in any way represent orthodox 12-Step recovery (with its emphasis on a personal, private relationship with a High Power of an individual's own choosing and definition in addition to relying on a support group to combat "stinkin' thinkin'" and develop new, sobriety-based behaviors). Too, his "anonymity break" is at odds with the very principles on which 12-Step Recovery was founded.
Anyway, I'll post a vid cap of the segment when it becomes available (it wasn't, and that assumes, of course that ADMIN will permit this thread to continue even though it walks along the edge of politics).
BTW, loveskids, the "White Horse Prophesy" isn't the only bit of Mormon crapola the Beckster is hyping. He put in a plug for "The Lost Civilizations of North America" not long ago (the only show of his I ever sat through all the way), which is a DVD Rodney Meldrum is hyping--along with Wayne May--that purports to tell of extensive Old World/New World contacts before 1492. I dropped in on a screening of this last spring, and it was pure tinfoil hat stuff... Here's a link that's still around to a review of mine of some of that material...

And here's one in need of a big-time bullchip warning...
