Conservative Writer Warns Glenn Beck Will ‘Blow Apart’
Commentary’s Peter Wehner says Glenn Beck is The Most Disturbing Personality on Cable Television.
It looks to me like it’s only a matter of time — and I suspect not much time — until he blows apart professionally. If and when that happens, one can only hope that conservatism as a movement will have created enough distance from Beck to mitigate the damage.
Although I agree with Wehner’s point, he’s dreaming if he thinks the conservative movement will denounce Beck. On the contrary, Glenn Beck’s influence on the Tea Party and even on Republican politicians is enormous.
For example, just three days ago, Michele Bachmann (R-Mars) said Beck was the best person to solve America’s economic crisis:
“We need to simply tell people the facts, like Glenn Beck, with that chalkboard, that man can explain anything. I think if we give Glenn Beck the numbers, he can solve this.”
The conservative movement will never distance itself from Glenn Beck.
