It should be horrible that there are thousands of people out there who follow Glenn Beck and consider him their prophet, and agree with his pap uncritically. (PS. Glenn, Dittoes^TM is taken.)

But I’m not really horrified. Stupid people who are willing to believe entirely fantastical apocalyptic cults have always existed. There are even more who may only be somewhat slow-witted, but who are susceptible to charismatic demagogues and who will thus believe anything.

What is horrifying, and disgusting, is that a supposed news organisation is willing to give him daily prime-time air time and to push his message, in various ways, throughout the rest of their programming.
