When he unloads on the $20 million man, it's wonderful.
For all his citations to the Founding Fathers, Glenn Beck sure must have missed the boat on some of the things John Adams had to say:
"Abuse of words has been the great instrument of sophistry and chicanery, of party, faction and division of society."
"There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to the other. This, in my humble apprehension, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution."
I'm certain many readers view Beck as some sort of great patriot. But few people in 21st century America are as divisive or flat-out ridiculous as he is. Perhaps the most insightful thing I've ever heard Beck say was when he described himself as a "rodeo clown." His wild conspiracy theories and outlandish rhetoric have made him nothing but a shill, and ergo, those to the left of Gary Bauer have trouble taking him seriously.
It seems that anyone -- conservative or liberal -- who equates any presidential administration with the Third Reich ought to be so dismissed.
Maybe while he's recuperating at home, he'll watch Stewart cream him and have an opportunity to think about how ridiculous his shtick really is.
