bullshit. My best friend from my high school days is an attorney and actually has been taken in by his bullshit.
He even made the 912 march on Washington with Beck and another several hundred thousand teabagger nut cases.

And one of the worst things about Beck is, he believes an alternate history to reality. He seems completely detached from real history, preferring his alternate one, which fits into his little reality.

I guess it explains why he's so full of it, his brain having problems.

I really don't want to waste 10 minutes of my life on Glenn Beck. Anyone have a 10 second summary?

It basically points out that the doctor that "saved" him is a phony and all this stuff about him being crazy before and better now has to do with him trying to convince someone to give him another show. I think this theory is dead on.

That is his hook.

To me it always seems fake...kind of bad acting...but it works on some people.
It is also the basis for fundamentalist preachers...don't you remember "I have sinned Lord"...you know the preacher that went to hookers for kinky sex...even that can be turned into a spectacle.

He took to his "tower" claiming that he was being "called back to God" and would die if his viewers didn't "show their support".

Miracle of miracles, he survived after his viewership and donations skyrocketed.

Beck has obviously studied the televangelists; the end of the world is coming, the "signs" are overwhelming, buy gold and freeze dried food (from his sponsors), the Anti-Christ is living now among us, protect your families from the infidels, his crying and histrionics, every day a new drama, fear, fear, fear.

It's a money making machine and it works every time.
