Glenn Beck is either crazy or a really good showman, that's for sure...
I mean, he didn't actually grow up crazy right. He converted in the late '90s from being a radio DJ who did drugs and didn't care about politics to Mormonism and the hard right... and still radio, but with popularity he'd never had before.
So yeah, if it was a heartfelt change, it sure was one good for his career. And either way he still calls himself an entertainer... you know, his all-purpose out whenever anyone says "but what you're saying isn't true!" The response of course is "I don't need to tell the truth, I'm just an entertainer."
And anyway, the real problem are the people who believe everything he's saying. Idiotic demagogues like that don't matter unless people are paying attention to him... and unfortunately, in America today some people ARE. And those crazy-right nutcases are the ones to watch.
