more and more interested in the workings of his brain. Is he too stupid
to recognise is own inconsistencies? Is he just playing a persona
created to tap into the underrepresented right? Is he cynically
exploiting his followers, knowing that if someone loudly espouses their

The most recent example (for me) is his book "Arguing With Idiots".
Doesn't he recognize that the uniform he wears on the dust jacket is
very reminescent of the Nazis? You'd think that he wouldn't want to

He's appealing to the subconcious of the kind of person who is turned on

lows, the answer for everything followed by inability to do anything.
I can never fail to be astonished at her ability to want to control all
and then a few days later her being crushed by all the crap she put on
herself when she was "up".
Beck goes from jovial to tears and then back again. He chalks up a
bunch of unrelated junk, sees a pattern and swings over to another
topic. It is exhausting watching him.
He has taken a couple of time outs for medical things that I suspect
the powers that be use to cover up Beck getting tuned back to to a more
normal level. I know this to be true because he hasn't called me to
prove I am wrong:)

Honestly...I just saw that book the other day and observing the cover and
the blurbs, it took a few minutes to determine if it was not a parody. I
really thought it was a hatchet job being done against him. There is
definitely something seriously wrong with him. As well as with his
followers. I once thought it was all an act...a cynical ploy to make
millions. I don't know anymore. I think he is insane.

How about Michelle Malkin? The Asian Ann Coulter. LOL.
I really haven't gotten deeper than assuming these people just
say/write that stuff because it makes them literally millions.

Glenn Beck is an actor. His act is no more real than Stephen
Colbert's.
He is annoying because he enjoys getting under people's skin.
I don't like him because he's a phony. He's no Nazi. Nazis were
reptilian but alas
they were not kidding.
I have the choice NOT TO WATCH HIM. And I don't. You take Beck or any
rabble-rouser
on EITHER side seriously (I'm thinking as far back as the Hoffman-
Rubin "Politics of the put-on" of forty years ago)
and you invest them with more importance than they deserve.
The fact that you're talking about him indicates that what he does
works.
Stop talking about him. I stopped talking about Beck, Maddow, Olberman
and Hannity a long time ago, and their
opinions and behavior mean nothing to me.

Has anybody read enough of the book to know if the cover (uniform)
is at all relevant to the contents? I certainly haven't and I don't
plan to. It's an application of the Nixonian "Don't buy books from
crooks" idea. I don't want to support his getting even a couple of

I have an easy time looking past things, perhaps. I don't expect Ubi
and I will ever see eye to eye on politics, so I look past that aspect
of his postings. Nobody else posts such great stuff about Sandra Lee,
whom I find at least as destructive an influence on society as Bush/
Republicanism, and Ubi's who goes out and finds that stuff and brings
it here. I hate Sandra Lee much more than I hate any of a bunch of
internet newsgroup posters, so Ubi gets a pass, I guess you'd say.

Why is it that liberals think ersonal attacks amount to a valid
argument? You sound like me 8-year-old nephew. "I hate you! You

Very child-like.

Funny? I have no problem following his arguments whatsoever. Maybe
that's why you need to yell "Beck's got cooties!" rather than engage
in a logic-based, adult, mature conversation.

Beck is wearing a RUSSIAN uniform. Don't insult the Russians by
comparing them to Nazis - Germany would have won the war, if not for
the bravery of the Russians pushing them back.

Do you know of a website that has good illustrations of
Soviet/Russian uniforms? When I first saw the dust jacket, the Soviet
army was what came first to my mind. However, something doesn't look
quite right to me, although I'm no expert on military uniforms of any
country. For example, because of the way the picture is cropped I can't
see the star on the front of the hat.
If it really is a Soviet/Russian uniform, that's even more bizarre
for Beck than my first guess that he was alluding to the Nazis.
I doubt that many Americans are aware of the Soviet Union's
contributions in WWII, even after you get past the nasty detail of the
Molotov-Ribbentrop pact. As important as those contributions were, it
will be difficult to argue that Germany would have won without them. It
certainly would have been a quite different war though.
