We need Glenn Beck kicked off the air before he hurts someone. If the lunatic Fox personality could have motivated Pittsburgh cop killer Richard Poplawski by erroneously claiming President Obama is comin’ to get yer guns, I can only imagine the harm all of Beck’s fearmongering will cause. In the past few weeks alone, Beck has spewed the apocalyptic ideas that Chinese and Russian spies have hacked into the United States, Iran and Russia are swapping nuclear secrets, and FEMA is setting up concentration camps. Oh, and then there’s Beck’s run-of-the-mill fearmongering about our country heading toward a socialist totalitarian state.
With Beck on board, Fox’s right-wing agenda and whatever-it-takes mentality to boost ratings are clearer than ever. I mean, who needs accurate reporting when Beck can pretend to douse someone in gasoline and light a match while he rants about Obama’s budget and new immigration plan? The thing is though, this is akin to yelling “Fire!” in a crowded theater. The tragic irony is that Beck and his War Room have the potential to do some serious damage.
