Politics / Media Glenn Beck: Possibly Fully Detached From Reality Now
Posted by Dan Gibson on Wed, Nov 16, 2011 at 1:00 PM
Once Glenn Beck left Fox, he sort of also left the landscape of media personalities I pay attention to. Not that I assumed his radio show was somehow the model of sensible political conversation that his TV never was, but it's hard to keep up with all the crazy people on the radio everyday.
However, when the guy compares Rick Santorum to Abraham Lincoln and George Washington, that sort of pure insanity is impossible to ignore. There's part of me that thinks that Beck will come out some day and say that his entire public persona was an elaborate prank and this will be the moment I look back at and realize I should have guessed.

Wait just a minute... by golly this is insincere. Although Glenn Beck has appeared radical,
he's a centrist when compared to his opposition. Proven fact.
I have disagree with you there, Dan. Limbaugh is the one who will say anything, no matter how reprehensible, for money. Glen Beck is genuinely, dangerously, insane. I suppose it's possible that he'd become decidedly more lucid if people quit paying him. More likely he'd end up like the guy who hangs out in front of where I work. They both use the same rhetoric. Beck just has a wider (and actually willing) audience.
