While a lot of folks on the left are laughing at the wacko antics of Glenn Beck, I am not. It would be easy to make fun of this buffoon, but the problem is his listeners don't see him as funny. They believe everything he says and do not question it. His crazy rant about how secret messages are hidden in the names of organizations and programs seems silly to anyone with a 5th grade education but it is heady stuff to his followers.
Take this clip for example. Yes the literati will notice that Beck can't spell, and apparently no one at Fox News corrected him, but the problem is he is preaching to a small very angry group of folks that don't use critical thinking. That means what he says is the truth to them.
