Glenn Beck: "The Fringe Groups Hate My Guts"
'If you follow Glenn Beck carefully, you'll see that he's savvy enough to know that it's smart to temper his outsized weirdness to fit his audience. Especially since he's basically a man of many wealth-accruing gimmicks. That's why his chat today with the Washington Post is annoyingly tame by Beckian standards -- no wishing California would burn or dire warnings of X-Files plots come to life. Here's a clear example: His only criticism with regards to health care is this one:

"As for health care, the idea that my company is going to be taxed higher because I provide coverage for my employees is an insult and should tell you what direction this country is going."'

"The Fringe Groups Hate My Guts", that's the one thing he's got juuuust right plus his own side plays his dumb ass like an old fiddle :rofl:

7. When the majority becomes the fringe,
you know something is majorly frayed at the edges. My guess: it's Glenn Beck's brain.

14. Ah yes, he's a martyr for a noble cause just like Gandhi and MLK.
Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh are in the same league... fabulous fuckin' fringe-humping freaks.

15. Here's a tip: when mainstream appears to be "fringe", you are on the fringe.
