The man is so stupid. He ridicules anything he can't wrap his tiny brain around.

4. It has to be simply stunning.
He can't stun, or do anything else, beyond simple. ;-)

6. Guess he thinks he's reincarnation of Thomas Paine now


Glenn Beck's Common Sense has hit the #1 spot on the USA Today Best-Selling list and will hit #1 on the July 5th New York Times Best Sellers list, making Beck one of just a few authors in history to hit #1 on the New York Times fiction, non-fiction and paperback original bestseller lists.

Beck's Common Sense is joined on the NYT paperback non-fiction bestseller list by An Inconvenient Book at #4, giving him two books in the top 5.

And Beck's not slowing down. His next book, the hardcover non-fiction Arguing With Idiots, will be published by Threshold Editions later this year.

16. I think there are some fuzzy numbers going on with all these neocon "best-sellers"
I've yet to meet anybody who's ever bought one of these idiots' books, let alone read it. I find it very hard to believe that there are that many people out there who buy these things up. I wonder if a lot of it has to do with internet pre-orders? Kind of like these rabid idiots promise to buy a book when it's announced, but then don't actually follow through? There's something fishy going on for sure

8. The whole idea of right wing radio is to make americans as incureous as possible
so they won't question why they live in a nation whose equality matches Russia's (a democracy and capitalist country for only 20 years) and Mexico (a country where 1/3 are very rich and 2/3 are very poor). Didn't work in the end. Americans on the left punched through to the truth. Still some americans remain trapped in stupidworld. But Obama will rescue them I believe.
