Did Glenn Beck think Adolf Hitler was one of history's "best minds"?
Some interesting stuff.


Given Glenn Beck's specious attacks on Anita Dunn's statements on Mao Zedong, it seems noteworthy that in his 2003 book, The Real America, Beck wrote: "I wish I were the president, just for the 747 and the cabinent I could assemble. I would have the best minds that I could find with a special eye out for those people who would vehemently disagree with each other." He then explains that since he's not president, he did "the next best thing." He gathered books that presumably represent those "best minds."

Among them? Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf.

Beck said he'd love to take lawyer Alan Dershowitz and "put him in a room with ... Adolf Hitler." Beck adds: "I'd love to see those guys go at it."

1. Are you kidding?
Glenn Beck has a special 8x10 of Hitler with the mouth cut out that he uses for "private business".

2. The more I hear about Glenn Beck the more I think he has a serious
mental problem.
