The truth is, he's just a pathetic bigot sucking his uneducated, uninformed viewers dry of everything he can get from them. No one with intelligence would pay any attention to this man, other than as a side show freak at a circus.

Totally crazy. Literally insane.

This is right wing humor. Anne Coulter has it down pat too. And so does Sarah Palin. All the talking heads on the right side of the current right-leaning administration and right-wing congress and right-wing senate are comedians. They couldn't find anyone else to stand up on a stage and lie so much for cash if they weren't hiring comedians. It's what comedians do.

Remember that "liberal guy" who used to do the "news" on Saturday Night live? He likes getting his paychecks so much he went to the dark side and now he grins while telling "jokes" written by his Fox News writers. I see no difference between him and Beck - neither of them are funny - to us.

Just because we don't get their kind of humor doesn't mean they're not comedians, it means they're laughing at things we abhor. As this clip shows so clearly.

Your honor, we believe that Glenn Beck is a danger to himself and others, and ask that he be committed to a psychiatric facility.
