Glenn Beck is simply not a serious, thoughtful individual. His rise to "fame" was fueled by a career as a shock jock, a grade B version of Howard Stern. His failing Texas-based media company is located in what used to be a movie studio that produced the leftist "Born on the Fourth of July" directed by commie Oliver Stone. Being an intellectual lightweight, he's attracted to pop culture (as are other liberals). His production company is known as "Mercury Radio Arts", a nod to Orson Welles, who was certainly no Conservative.
His support for Governor Sarah Palin in the past was tepid at best. Now he's revealing his true leftism since, as I see it, anyone opposed to Governor Palin is a liberal. He fooled a few people (even some FReepers) with his phony Conservatism. His turnabout on Governor Palin is much like his repudiation of Christianity when he converted to a strange "religious" cult.
