Poll question: Is Glenn Beck Sincere

Or is he conning his viewers?

It goes without saying that if he is sincere, he is, more or less, sincerely crazy.

1. I dunno. How could I or anyone, least of all Glen Beck?

And I'm not sure what is more ominous: that he might be sincere or that he might not be.

3. I'm on the fence. I saw a few moments of his program the other day and the message was basically

"Oh noez! They're out to get ME" whereas his program is usually "They're out to get YOU".

Its really a catch 22. Him being sane and sincere are mutually exclusive factors.

5. I think it's a mixture with Rush - he clearly believes some things

But it's also mostly an act.

With Beck, some of what he says is so nuts, I don't know.

7. I like to watch

In the garden, growth has it seasons. First comes spring and summer, but then we have fall and winter. And then we get spring and summer again.

8. He is a greedy, evil anti-American

Who is most probably bi-polar. Not crazy enough to be forgiven for the damage he has caused since the first day of his radio/television shows, but crazy enough to do alot of harm to America.

It really says something when conservative republicans think you are whacko, doesn't it.

13. I think he is sincere but I don't think he is sane.

I really believe that the man suffers from some form of mental illnes and that his paranoia is grounded in illness, not contrived for political effect.

14. I don't think Beck buys into his act. Palin is a grifter as well.

I think Bachman is a true believer in her batshit.

15. Fuck no. Haven't you seen this?

I wish I could find the shorter clip, but the important part is within the first minute or so.

Beck was pro-bailout. He said the bailout wasn't big enough.

Of course he's playing those idiot Republicans for suckers, and laughing all the way to the bank.
