Video: Glenn Beck, Fear and Loathing of African Americans
http://rackjite.com/archives/5319-Video-Glenn-Beck,-Fear-and-Loathing-of-African-Americans.html

Boy this is really awful stuff. Hard to watch without wincing or vomiting. But give it a try. This brief 5 minute speech is a window into the soul of not only one mentally challenged talk show host, but all talk show hosts, of Fox News, of the Tea Baggers, of Andrew Breitbart and the Republican Party which has embraced them all as their leadership.

1. He's insane
He also brings out the crazies. He was here on Friday and our local blogs have been invaded by insane people.

2. Beck plays his part well.
He seems to be modeling himself on Lewis Prothero in V for Vendetta.

Just replace the Empire State building in the background with Big Ben and you have a pretty good fit for the "Voice of London".

3. I doubt that beck believes half the crap he says
He's basically nothing but a huckster carrying on a rich American tradition - separating the hicks from their money.

He's doing something that goes back as far as Barnum - only he's managed to cynically weave fear of "those people" into his spiel.

Personally I think that makes him less dangerous than a true believer, but I could be wrong.
