No, Glenn Beck is an entertainer. He's not a politician, he's not an elected official, and he has no impact on American politics.

Is he a mama's boy or just a man who cares deeply about the rape and pillage of his own country.

The difference is....Glen Beck is playing to a targeted demographic, scripted and directed by men more interested in selling Depends, viagra and packaged food. And the weak minded believe the hype, buy the products and buy into the propaganda and become devotees. Glen just like Rush and the rest of em, are just means to an end, fostered by, very well paid media exectives in some posh NY office, high above you and I.
It's a brave new world, welcome to the monkey house.
Schools out!

I love this.
The bankrupt over-spending imperial corporate run war machine we are changing into will be so much different from the bankrupt over-spending imperial corporate run war machine we've been for the past 60 years.
Mandating everyone give more money to insurance companies is a great leap forward. I just don't have enough reasons to fear being tossed into prison in my day to day life as it is.
Where's Reno? I think a nice siege would do some good about now.
Anyone who sees "change" in any of this hasn't been paying attention.
The gov keeps growing the middle class keeps shrinking and nations keep getting invaded.

Intense lobbying began between 1869 and 1877, during the administration of President Ulysses S. Grant.[2] The most influential lobbies wanted railroad subsidies and a tariff on wool. At the same time in the Reconstruction South, lobbying was a high intensity activity near the state legislatures, especially regarding railroad subsidies. The term itself came from Britain to describe approaches made to Members of Parliament in the lobbies of the House of Commons.
In the Progressive Era reformers frequently attacked lobbyists as corrupting politics.[3]

When are people going to learn that Fox News is the most deceitful propaganda outlet in the entire country?
"But Kaytagg, they cover stories that other news ignore!" No they don't. They make up fake controversy and intentionally misleading statements to fool their gullible audience who seem to be the only people who aren't "in on the joke."
I guess this isn't too surprising, considering the group of people Fox targets is the same group that can't tell whether Steven Colbert is being satirical or serious.
Q: How many Fox News viewers does it take to change a light bulb?
A: Zero. They'd rather sit in the dark.
