Glenn Beck’s minions, his “entertaining” ideas and fascist agit-prop “suggestions” have indeed driven a massive spike into the hearts of our community, so much so that this one lone white man could spur a roomful of parents to terror, and cause an honest teacher to shrink back and rely on a technicality to spare us a potential riot, and our complicit silence…. this was a sickening realization.

Later outside this same man gloated that he had “shut down any hope of that godless socialism from infecting our kids.” People can dismiss Beck all they want. But his wicked drivel has a viral infectious lethal effect on even the better parts of our leftist selves.

Mr. Beck has the right, short of yelling fire in the crowded movie theater or blathering on with blatantly incendiary language, to speak his [sic] mind. I take great pleasure at that seemingly ironic circumstance. Mr. Beck and his ilk need the very people they condemn…to protect them and provide a platform for their views. If a society does not support free speech and every other aspect of our basic human rights for the best citizen and the worst scoundrel alike we have nothing. Mr. Beck is not who interersts me. He’s a consummate [media] narcissist who has taken his craft to a whole new bizarre level (or descent as the case may be). He is a user…..a user of rights and privileges that he would deny others in a heart beat. His audience on the other hand, are a group of unpaid, llimelight -seeking hacks, who will engage in all manner of behaviors for the sake of the camera. I ‘d be willing to be that this devoted audience has earned the utter disrespect and ridicule of its media icons. the same rubes are buying bottles of the false doctor’s treatment for all that ills ya.

Perhaps the true culprit here is the ease with which ignorance is spread and reinforced in our instant electronic age.
