Glenn Beck: A blight on the nation

If there’s anyone in America who shouldn’t be able to sleep at night, it’s Glenn Beck.

Oh, I know Rush Limbaugh has gotten rich spouting absurdity, but I’ve listened Limbaugh once or twice and I confess that he’s at least funny, wrongheaded as he is.

But Beck is getting rich appealing to the very basest instincts on the American right-wing fringe. I would say the same of someone doing the same on the left--but Keith Olbermann just doesn’t compare.

The latest Beck outrage is his inspiration, apparently, of a nut case in California deciding to arm himself to the teeth to waste progressives of all types. In my book, it’s the kind of thing that if there were a God of justice would land you in the lowest circles of hell. So sleep well on your pile of money Mr. Beck, and good luck destroying the Republic.
