Why we need to prop up Glen Beck
I personally believe that Beck is certifiably insane. And I also believe that he’s doing far more damage to the reputation of the wingnut fringe than all of us together could possibly hope to do.

It’s for these reasons that we need to call/write/email Fox “News” and ask them to keep Beck on the air in prime time. Those who buy the madness he’s selling are just about beyond redemption. Yet, there are many viewers who we thought of as hopeless who are finally “getting it.” It’s showing up in Beck’s ratings.

So let’s take a few moments and back a madman who is so far out that he might just shock some wingnuts back into some semblance of reality. I might be wrong about this, but what could it hurt?

1. I want his head on a pike.
Metaphorically, of course.

2. I want his head in front of a TV camera
What better way to make it clear to the near-brain-dead what it is they're backing?

5. One doesn't back a mad bomber--even if they might take out
more of our opponents than our allies. Beck is a powder keg and his insanity attracts others like him. That is DANGEROUS.
