there's no telling

... him anything.



Man, that Glenn Beck dude is crazy! He should really have his own cable access show, I'd totally watch it.
And all that propaganda celebrating the Worker? On a building built in the 30s? Shocking! Who'd've thought such a thing at the height of the Great Depression?

Addendum:

Olbermann takes the right tone with Beck: mockery.
You cant logic the man away; those who believe him will never be convinced through any kind of evidence that he's wrong. And as long as he's pulling in the numbers (and not losing Faux News as a whole any advertising dollars), he'll always have a spot on TV (indeed, he actually looks like he ought to be on the television - on cable access, that is).
No, mockery is the only road to take. Merciless, accurate, flaming mockery. Shame, via scorn-riddled humiliation, the folks who watch such tripe into turning off Beck's show and never again speaking of it openly. That's the only viable option (other than open civil war, that is, and we can see, a century and a half later, how well that worked).

When I saw that countdown speech, I thought, "Is Keith a daveawayfromhome fan?"

It was the best rant KO has ever done yet on Countdown..I was screaming and laughing like a mental patient.

Thanks for the linky love Dave! ;)

OMG, that Beck is a riot. Nobody's actually, like, taking him seriously though, right?

Right?

There sure was a lot of red in his backdrop...
