I've gotta laugh every time I hear that Glenn Beck ad on AAR affiliates

How dumb do you have to be to waste money advertising to an audience that considers you the spawn of Satan? Thanks for the donation Glenn, every dollar helps! If it keeps up, conservative ideology will commit suicide before we even raise a fist.

1. Background info, please.

I'm sure I am not the only one who has no idea what you're talking about.

4. simply put, don't waste advertising buget on a market you have no hope

of influencing. Glenn Beck is almost as bad a right wing tool as Neil Boortz or Michael Savage. The concept of them advertising on a progressive talk radio format is beyond stupid, it's paying your adversary to stay in the fight.

5. Thanks. You piqued my curiosity, but since I don't listen to talk radio,

I didn't immediately recognize what AAR is.
I know enough about Glenn Beck from seeing his annoying, smirky mug on CNN Headline News channel. That guy's an arrogant prick, and he is CNN's new albatross.

Oh well. If they are paying for advertisiing, it would be their poorly spent money, wouldn't it.

2. While I have not heard them ...

I remember when The Nation magazine had full page ads for Fox News. Later, the Nation had submitted ads they wanted to run on their channel.

Three guesses what Fox News decided, the first two don't count.

3. that ad is hilarious -- it sounds like a parody of an ad for a right-wing show

the first time I heard it, I thought it was a joke. Not so.

6. The ad I hear on AAR has Beck saying, " I'm a thinker." Yeah, right. n/t
