Loony demagogue Glenn Beck went on a tear today, ranting about all the mean things people have said about him, and I enjoyed hearing him say this quote from yours truly so much I had to save the clip to YouTube. Repeated thrice for three times the wonderfulness. Come on! ...

Glenn Beck is in trouble again, this time for his blatant shilling for the gold merchants who capitalize on misery and discontent.

In their new report on the rise of extremism in the US, the Anti-Defamation League singled out Glenn Beck as “most important mainstream media figure who has repeatedly helped to stoke the fires of anti-government anger.” Obviously, Beck didn’t like this very much.

Wow. Glenn Beck shows his dedication to national defense by advising soldiers not to re-enlist — because he “can’t guarantee” that the Obama government won’t paint them as “baby-killers.” Absolutely unbelievable. [Video]
