Hey Jake, welcome back.

I can give you numerous instances where Glenn Beck has seen conspiracy plots, or accused people of being Nazis. He also is also blatantly out of touch with reality. Like when he claimed that Fox was the only network showing video of the flotilla raid when every other network had showed it as well (thank you, The Daily Show).

If you want more examples I'll be happy to provide.

Jake, I never had a problem with conservatives, just ones that are nuts like Glenn Beck or Rush Limbaugh. Some of the things that come out of their mouth's are ridiculous. If you think that all Beck does is "sit down and review historical facts with common sense" then you have yourself fooled. I've said it once and I'll say it again: you shouldn't be getting your political opinions from pundits.

A pundit show is a show that is meant to appeal to a certain audience and represent a certain viewpoint. The shows secondary job is to present the news. The issue comes when there is a conflict with what the actual news is, and what viewpoint the pundit is advocating. When this happens, the pundit has to either ignore stories, misrepresent stories (a.k.a. lie) or make an appeal to emotion rather than logic (something that Glenn Beck does very well). Pundit shows (both those with liberals and conservatives) make political discourse frustratingly difficult. They merely polarize the political atmosphere and groups can't actually reasonably discuss the issues, but instead resort to talking points and demonizing their opponents (e.g. the liberal elite, or conservative wing-nuts).

So that's why I don't like Glenn Beck or almost any pundit for that matter (also he doesn't like soccer).
