Glenn Beck has big plans

The conservative TV and radio host wants to hold conventions to move his followers to political action and 'change America's course.' Some say his activism could widen the split within the GOP.

Reporting from Washington - Glenn Beck wants to become . . . a community organizer.

The voluble Fox News television host says he hopes to transform his personal celebrity into political action and has begun to assemble a movement to "change America's course." Beck announced his intentions at a weekend rally at a retirement community outside Orlando, Fla., where he was promoting his new book, "Arguing With Idiots." He continued outlining his ideas during his radio and TV shows Monday.

"America, we cannot wait for a leader anymore," Beck said. "The people must lead, and the leader will follow."

Beck has employed a mix of doomsaying and muckraking on his TV and radio shows, emerging as a prominent conservative gadfly to President Obama. Now, he said, he intends to sponsor a series of conventions nationwide next year to educate attendees about self-reliance, the economy and community organizing as a step toward building an effective electoral force.

"I'm going to teach you how to be a community organizer next year, oh, because two can play at that game," Beck said Monday on the radio. "It's time to find our teeth and sharpen our teeth, and we're going to do it."
