Strymeckirules: "we don't get glenn beck in canada. but i get to see john stewart's commentary on him."
Strymeck, if you're into masochism, I suggest Beck's website www.theblaze or, better yet, www.mediamatters.org which is always keeping tabs on his antics. They have short clips on him, which is about all one can take.
Mindmelda:
"People who dispense the kind of sensationalism Beck does scare the shit out of me. He's the political pundit's equivalent of an idiot who shouts "Fire!" in a crowded movie theater and then claims innocence at sight of the trampled bodies."
Beck has already inspired the murders at the Unitarian Church a while back. The murderer admitted to the police that he was a Beck fan and that he killed the church members because he couldn't get to liberals in positions of power.
Band on the Run.
Thank's Band for sharing that. I believe things would have been much worse at 9/11 if Glenn Beck were on Fox back then. You would have had lynchings inspired by him. As for his state of mind, I believe that he is a Narcissist in the clinical sense.
I don't think his smarts, whatever they may be, can counterbalance his arrogance and paranoia. They are leading to 'stupid' (psychotic), self destructive behavior such as pointing the finger to the Bush administration as allies to those involved in his 'Muslim conspiracy' and his lashing out against Republicans. He is also losing substantial ratings.
