At least in part due to Glenn Beck's influence, Obama administration aide Yosi Sergant was asked to resign today.
Beck attacked Sergant and the NEA on his Fox News talk show, accusing the agency of propaganda efforts similar to those used by Nazi Germany. And now Sergant has been tossed overboard, making him Beck's second victim in his campaign to rid the administration of perceived radicals, socialists, communists, fascists, anarchists and all other manner of nefarious influences. Conservatives are considering this an opportunity to attack the N.E.A.
I hate to evoke this name, because it has a tendency (like Hitler's) to be overused in this internetty age, but Glenn Beck is looking more and more (and more and more) like the 21st Century's answer to Senator Joe McCarthy. But since he doesn't hold elected office, Beck could be even harder to get rid of than McCarthy was.
Color of Change is still looking for people to help them urge advertisers to pull their support of Beck. I assume that people are preparing to protest the decision by Mount Vernon Mayor Bud Norris to give Beck the key to the city on September 26th, but I have not heard anything concrete yet. People who have protest or boycott plans should send me an e-mail and I will post them here in Glenn Beckwatch.
UPDATE: Of course, I forgot to mention the Facebook Group Jon Stewart, Accept a Key to Bellingham, WA. Thanks, Slog tipper Matt.
Oh, btw Paul, Senator McCarthy was proven correct when the Soviet Union fell. Might want to do a little research!
Two in a week...nice work, GB! But there are plenty more where they came from. Just keep turning over those rocks in the thugocracy BO presides over.
And to the left, that was JM's greatest sin, exposing their beloved communists!
this “manufactured” astro-turf blog, is most likely well funded by ACORN, SEIU, and SOROS.....
Big deal, Podesta will hire him.
Never mind that it was not really Beck's influence, but rather Sergant's actions. These people have a bad case of wanting to shoot the messenger.
Or, in English:
Venona
Beck said that he has at least 3 private investigators digging for dirt on him.
Beck turns on the light and (zer0’s) cockroaches scurry.
Good work Glenn!
The man is BOLD and fearless.
And in extreme danger, financial (if Fox caves), legal (if he has ANY skeletons in his closet), and even Mortal (if they can't shut him up any other way)!
I wonder how many of us would have the courage Beck has ... I fear for his family. The nut cases on the left (biting off fingers?) I just hope he stays safe ... but thank heavens for the job he is doing. (Thanks, Glenn).
I always liked to watch a fight between a nincompoop and someone who knows what they are doing and just dances around the nincompoop in question making him (the nincompoop) look progressively more frustrated and angry.
The first really mainstream company that’s begun advertising on Glenn Beck in our market is Kroger. Guess I’ll be doing most of my shopping there starting tomorrow. Really haven’t been a regular Kroger shopper in years, but that’s going to change.
Hear this GOP? You spineless cowards!!

Beck is the new McCarthy? Suweeeeeeeet!
McCarthy was dead right and Beck is dead right as well.
Communists on the Run. I love it!
Good work, Glenn. Glad you are doing the work necessary. Put, I’m afraid to say, it is like bailing out a sinking ship with a tin can...
The day he went after ACORN, I nearly fell out of a chair with shock. I knew he was painting a White House sniper scope on the square of his back. All I could think of is, this guy has a Titanium set.
Prayers for Mr. Beck and the United States of America. The country with the sweetest air on earth. (Except for the current whiffs of pollution coming from Washington D.C.)
IMHO
Beck doesn’t depend on Fox for his income (though I’m sure that’s good money).
I just bought one of his books myself.
