This piece of satire is destined to become a classic which will forever define Glenn Beck as the silliest clown to ever be given radio syndication or a show on network television. [Well other than Howard Beale who was fictional]. I found the only thing wanting in this great and grand sketch by Jon Stewart was a reference to the movie "Network".
"Go to your windows! Stick your head out and yell, I AM MAD AS A HATTER! WE ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE! PROGRESS IS CANCER! SOCIAL JUSTICE IS MARXISM! ECONOMIC JUSTICE IS NAZISM!"
As you watch this as you try keep from falling out of your chair in snot-snorting delight please keep in mind two far more serious issues.
1) If there were not tens of millions of people who believe Glenn Beck’s crap he would not be around. Yes indeed! Tens of millions of American are that mud dumb stupid. You can see them in the public square most every weekend with their ugly signs, stupid slogans, and angry nonsense. The Tea Party movement led not only by Glenn Beck but also, Dick Armey, Congressman Ron Paul, Senator Jim DeMint, Chillbilly Sarah Palin and my own Governor Rick Perry of Texas.
2) What Glenn Beck pushes is the covert heart of conservative ideology. Progress and equal justice are their enemy today just as they have always been when they advocated slavery, Jim Crow, child labor while fighting against women voting, unions, public education, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Food Stamps, civil rights act, voting rights, evolution and now even standing against the life of the very Earth they live upon. It is the nature of the Beast.
