Big Time Ninny

We're anxiously waiting for rodeo clown Glenn Beck to turn himself in & do his time for having been a booze n' blow abuser. C'mon, Glenn, do the right thing. As you said:
America doesn’t mind if you make a mistake, just admit that you made a mistake. If you break the law, pay the penalty. 
We're inclined to doubt if he's really off the rock. We'll give him the benefit of the doubt, though. Perhaps he just snooted so much that paranoia is now irreparably hard-wired into his noodle.
Do you really believe that Barack Obama is leading us toward socialism and that we are in danger of becoming a totalitarian state? I believe that he’s not leading us there, he’s led us there. Check the cover of Newsweek magazine, “We’re all socialists now.” We’re there. However — again, some context — I said these things under George Bush with the beginnings of the bailout. You don’t do this in a free-market society. I’m afraid that we are headed toward a state that is controlled in Washington and by these global corporations. We’re headed toward statism where these gigantic corporations and government are in bed. That was one of my main problems with George W. Bush.
That's why so many of Beck's programs, radio & telebision, were devoted to the cause of increasing regulation & oversight during the Bush administration's, shall we say, lax, enforcement of Beck's precious laws. (By the way, is this what the right means when talking about "respect" for an office? As long as their guy's in office, you have to respect the office. The minute their despised by 75% - 80% of population toad is out, it's "Who? Him? Never liked him. Not a real conservative.") 
Also amusing are Beck's & others' reactions to that Newsweek cover. Blood pressure medication & Depends® sales must've leaped that wk. 
After all, not just any magazine would brazen its cover with the canard “We’re All Socialists Now,” as Newsweek did in February. Though we’re not all socialists, that their editors have always been sympathetic to the movement is a given.
Yes, it's the same guy who called Newsweek "a roach’s den of radicalism." But back to Beck.
You seem to have said that Al Gore has used Nazi-like propaganda tactics to promote the idea that global warming is a man-made threat, is that correct? Yeah, the argument that he was making was the same kind of tactic used by the Nazis. I don’t believe Al Gore is trying to gas or round up Jews, I don’t believe the result is going to be the same thing. Just understand that the tactic used was a device used by the Nazis. For instance, we have him on tape during the convention or during the inauguration where he was talking to 12-, 13-, 14- and 15- year olds, and he said “Look there’s a lot of things you understand instinctively but your parents don’t understand those things because they’re just too trapped in old thinking.” Well, gosh, I mean, I know he’s not going to be rounding up Jews any time soon but that’s called the Hitler Youth where you turn the children against the parents.
Or "give the children an education," sometimes they call it that too. 
"OK, Johnnny, if your father says there wasn't a cure for the clap when he was your age, then I guess there isn't a cure, penicillin or not."
Really, how does this crap go on & on? It's never going to stop, is it?
