Glenn Beck’s 15 minutes is almost up!
Glenn Beck is a good argument for Eugenics, not only that, but the Church of Scientology has advocated that Beck be force-fed Ritalin. However, I digress, all kidding aside, this is the second time I’m writing about this huckster. Why? Because I am a sucker! Beck is all about fakery, sensationalism and alarmism. I get into stuff like that. It doesn’t matter if the product is Pet Rocks, fad diets, space alien abductions, satanic rock, New Age tomfoolery or right wing politics. I am watching or listening. Only here in the USA we got junk culture and political paranoia.
The only sponsor Beck has left is G.Gordon Liddy trying to sell you gold and some law firm that violates Tort reform. Beck must have a binding contract with News Corp because any other normal network would have thrown Beck out the door. At this point, the lawyers are negotiating some compromise for Beck’s fate. He has become sponsor poison. Its only time he will vanish from the airways. His fate of his radio show, who knows, who cares?
The very people Beck dislikes are the very people who are making his show a ratings bonanza. Don’t think his agent and his handlers are not aware of this. They are going to channel it or exploit it to their vantage. Why are people watching him? They want to witness a suicide on live television. They are watching any evidence of insanity. Poor Beck! He is really sincere about saving America from Communism/Fascism but he just doesn’t get it!
You see, he is afflicted with ADD and his comprehension skills suffer. His ego believes that He speaks for the common man but objective reality tells a different story. He goes to right wing conspiracy web sites and believes what he reads. He fails to compartmentalize Eugenics. What he does is fuses Negatives Eugenics and Positive Eugenics together and all of sudden early 20th century progressives are on the same level as Nazis. Further investigation in history shows, advocates of Positive Eugenics denounced Fascism and Nazism. Forget what Jonah Goldberg says, he just engages in dyslexic polemics. Nazi is right wing! Communists are left wing! That is irrefutable!
I feel sorry for Beck; he is about to be thrown in the pits of forgotten scoundrels, Fools like Father Charles Coughlin, Joe McCarthy, Robert Welsh, Joe Pyne, Wally George and George Putnam. One day Beck will wake up and realize that Acorn are not the enemy of the USA but Halliburton is the real enemy. He will taste his own projectile sarcasms and get poisoned. It is easy to read right wing talking points on television but it difficult to make up your original talking points. People are still laughing at the John Birch Societies contention that fluoridation of the water was a communist plot. Glenn Beck will be just a footnote in history and when dies of old age, he will be a 45- word obituary in some unread web site, too bad.
