Glenn Beck Book Reviews
http://www.bay-of-fundie.com/archives/1913/sadly-yes-glenn-beck-is-a-dildo

From Bay Of Fundie:

Glenn Beck: Arguing With Idiots

What’s fun about books by wingnuts is reading the Amazon reviews. Let’s have a look!

This first one is my favorite. It’s written by Ashley H. Polikoff, who gives the book five stars:

hold off on all those book burnings! we got ourselves a winner!

all hail the lord. glenn beck’s gone done writ another one of these word things. he sounds reel smart-like. i aint heard of no one scorin all those touchdowns in an argument like beck did. no one arguin with an idiot like glen beck. he so smart an this book so great i took my 10 kids outta that communist factory and just school my kids at home with glenn beck. theys gonna know how to argue with them idiots… and satan. theys souls goin strait to united states of heaven.


OK, it lacks subtlety, but you have to remember the target audience. If it were more subtle, Glenn Beck’s fans wouldn’t realize they’re being skewered (although that would make it even funnier).

Here’s another five-star review; this time by Rayscann:

Got the new book today!!! SCORE!

Im soo happy I could get this book at a discount. I didn’t have much left after I bought my new TV over the weekend. An SSI check only goes soo far. Anyway I will start reading it after I pick up some groceries from church this afternoon. I hope they have pop tarts this week. People have only been donating stuff like mashed potatoes or tuna fish which are boring. This book should be cool. I can’t stand “commie-lib” big government. Its just a bunch of jerks who want to give our money to welfare cheats.


That one is a little subtler. I bet it fools a few teabeckers.

Here’s a one-star review by Robert D. Hodson Jr.:

Beck Fans Can Read?

I was really surprised to see this on the shelves. … I was surprised to see an actual book with lots of words printed with Beck’s audience obviously in mind.

2. What poor grammar.
"Done gone writ" is the accepted usage.
