Wut.
My friends, I don’t think you know who Glenn Beck is.
He IS the far right.
If he were just a satirist, he wouldn’t be doing shit like this and that.
It’s the same thing with Bill O’Reilly. Sometimes he seems like a smart businessman just playing to his audience, and then he’ll say something completely bonkers.
And as for Glenn Beck being on the not-insane side of an issue for once, it’s what we call a ““stopped clock.[](http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Stopped_clock)
I made a thread about that a while ago. http://derpiboo.ru/forums/dis/topics/ruined-by-association

Whew. Okay. …But seriously, Beck. You better not put anything about this in your thriller book series. It’s the only thing you’ve ever personally offended me with by claiming “Star Wars Nerds loved the Prequels and Natalie Portman”
As a person, I bear him no ill will, but as a literary enthusiast, Overton Window is pretty bad.
I may have some disagreements with him mostly in the lines of religion (he’s Mormon, I am Protestant)
I just wish the radio station in my area still carried him, been meaning to hunt down where else he might be carried.
Oh I know that. In fact that just makes him even more of an asshole, at least if he was legit insane he would be honestly trying to help somewhat. But he’s really just a sleazebag profiting off the paranoid and gullible.
But what’s sad is that he’s not even the worst, far from it. Just look up Bryan Fischer or Klingenschmitt, both say far more horrible things in one day than Beck does in a month. They would also have told the kid with the pony backpack he should have been killed, at least Beck cared, or pretended to.
And, just ’cause I love crazy, I give you all this: America Is Cursed Because Ancient Egyptians Dedicated This Continent To Baal.
The end result was a larger audience. Beck isn’t really a conspiracy nut, he’s a less-than-honest actor profiting off of them.
Like when he warned against an EMP from an enemy nation and his answer was to buy food insurance from his sponsor?
Like this when he says he has evidence that the Boston Marathon Bombing was an inside job. And then this where he promises great change in 24 hours. What was the end result of this? Nothing, hardly even a peep in future shows.
He is a very very odd person and what we’ve seen is probably more a persona made for political entertainment and propaganda than anything else.
He’s also one of the biggest publicly outspoken supporters for gay marriage / LGBT rights from the right.
He’s also best friends with Penn Jillette, though.
He plays to the ultra right-wing conspiracy theory sort of crowd in general. He’s not so much Alex Jones but they have many of the same sponsors. You know, the “Buy hazard seeds, invest in gold” types of sponsors. They draw a specific audience.
Beck is one of those doomsday ultra faith types who likes to put up pictures on chalkboards and draw lines between them. He’s less an idealogue and more a cult of personality.
