Glenn Beck: 'Cars for Clunkers' is a Government Plot to Take Over Your Computer

Is there a point at which most reasonable people will start realizing that Glenn Beck is a raving freakazoid nut sandwich? Maybe this point?
What a disgrace; this is nothing but unjustifiable fear mongering, by idiots.

Here’s the agreement. Please note that it’s on the login page for dealers, not consumers — and it’s not even on the cars.gov site! This agreement is not intended for consumers, and it does not apply to consumers.
Here is the U.S. Department of Transportation Privacy Policy for consumers and the general public.
Although the language of the dealer’s agreement might seem a little over-zealous (a common problem in “terms of service” agreements), it’s a lot more understandable when you realize it’s intended to apply to dealers who are entering into a business agreement with the government to dispose of clunkers. And it appears on a secure website that allows dealers to log into the government’s financial system. The page is named: supplierpayments.esc.gov.
This whole “issue” is pure tin foil.
