Glenn Beck is scarier than Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, says Anti-Defamation League
Source: NY Daily News

Weep for joy, Glenn Beck: the Anti-Defamation League has cited you as the national media's fear-monger-in-chief.

In a new report examining the wave of anti-government hostility that's spread across the country since Barack Obama won the White House, the ADL cited Beck as the "most important mainstream media figure who has repeatedly helped to stoke the fires of anti-government anger."

Beck, a right-wing talk host with a TV show on Fox and popular syndicated radio program, is in a league of his own, the report from the Jewish anti-hate watchdog group asserts.

According to the report, other conservative media hosts, such as Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity, routinely blast Obama and his administration, but they have typically dismissed or refused to offer a platform to conspiracy theorists and anti-government extremists.

-----

"Beck and his guests have made a habit of demonizing President Obama and promoting conspiracy theories about his administration," the report states. "Beck has even gone so far as to make comparisons between Hitler and Obama and to promote the idea that the president is dangerous."

1. Yeah, I suppose that's true.
Rush and Hannity don't have their own Blackboards of Insanity (tm).

2. Beck is an idiot
And so are those who listen to him! He has the racists, the teabaggers, the birthers, and all the conspiracy theory nuts listening to him, and that's why he is so much scarier than the others. Beck is insane, period, and he gets the same kind kind of insane people to listen to his insane ranting!

3. Beck is a MAIN STREAM REPUBLICAN!!!
They are all crazy.

When we gain control of the House, Senate and Executive Branch look out! We will put them all in concentration type re-education camps.....I can hardly wait. Beck knows his fate, as long as the Democrats aren't in charge he's safe. :eyes:

5. How else would Beck have the ratings he achieves? The more red meat he
throws out each day, the more lunatics he attracts to the fold. I watched a few minutes of Beck who was on O'Riley's show, he was speaking about Obama but did not say anything. He did repeat several times in a row, I don't know what it is about Obama,(then the facial gesture's and heavy sighing are added), again he says, I'm not sure what it is about with him (Obama), I just don't know! Beck then adds hand-wringing, more heavy sighing. His audience loves this, they get to fill in the blanks with their own conspiracy theory/hate mongering screaming meme.

Beck is a successful propagandist.

8. That is exactly what is so scary about Beck
I believe that Rush, Hannity, Coulter, et al, are fully aware that a large portion of what they're spewing is horseshit, and that they're only doing it for the cash.

Beck truly believes what he's saying. That's what makes it so spooky.

9. He's in it for the money too... he's just the biggest clown.

Boy....I hope this pisses off Rush.

Take some (more) hillbilly heroin, fat boy, and everything will feel alright.

10. I showed a really good friend (who watches Faux -
who would have believed that?) the clip of Beck getting Vicks under his eyes and crying on cue - he has never been the same - it was a great thing of joy for him to see the fakeness of the creep.

Well, actually, the joy was mine. And, as for my friend - it has been even better for him as he can now look at the crap that they are attempting to foist off and know that he knows better.

Ah. The empowerment of the people. I can only hope that we can all reach just one other person and they can reach one other person and they can reach just one other person.

We really can take it back from the losers and liars.

I know we can.
