Glenn Beck, the hottest right-wing voice on the air, worried aloud to his listeners the other day that powerful, sinister forces trying to destroy America might soon "shoot me in the head."
But there's fear among his critics, including calmer conservatives, that the victim more likely will be one of Beck's many broadcast targets.
After a summer of mob anger at town hall meetings on health care - some of which featured gun-toting protesters - and a burst of Beck-fanned hysteria over President Obama's back-to-school speech last week, the former top 40 deejay has emerged as a goofy dark prince of the right.
His gift for spinning apocalyptic visions of the future is matched only by his melodramatic skill to gin up his listeners.
[Snip]
Even as he echoes far-right theories, Beck tries to cast himself as simply a libertarian - a believer in self-reliance - whose show fuses "entertainment with enlightenment."
A former alcoholic and drug addict, he now mocks himself as a "rodeo clown" - one of the comedy bits he adds to his daily stew on evil government plots.
But here's what Beck critics consider the scariest part: Americans are eating him up.
His radio show is now No. 3 in America, with a following both younger and more female than the top two, conservatives Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity.
His TV show routinely pulls in more than 2.5 million viewers daily, placing him third among all cable news programs. On some recent nights, Beck's 5 p.m. show outdrew long-reigning cable news champ Bill O'Reilly, who holds a prime-time slot.

The goofy dark prince of the right is driving Libtards crazy
Far Right theories?? Like the Constitution.
There is nothing the left fears more than the truth. Glenn Beck is an agent of the truth.
Bedwetters whining about Beck again.
Amen to that Bluto. The truth shall truly set us free!
“A former alcoholic and drug addict.”
At least he can say former.........When are these libs going to clean up their act.
But I remember an old expression growing up -
Shoot for the moon. If you only get halfway, you've made a lot of progress.
If Glenn moves America just a little bit his direction, then progress has been made.
Besides, it looks like Mr. Beck is being productive. - A Czar resignation, a change in the Census Bureau. Who would have thought?
this reads to me ‘NY Daily News and Beck's critics want the 1st amendment(amongst others) put to sleep’
Apocalyptic goofs? Did someone say Prince Algore?
Speaking of goofs. Fredo Ted Kennedy. Carter. Byrd, Fwank...
Fox News’ Glenn Beck’s right-wing rants go way too far, critics charge
As an American I want someone, anyone out there speaking out against the communist that has infested the White House.
Our nation is in danger. To not speak out would be criminal.
I noticed David Saltonstall never wrote this, did he?
President Obama, a former marijuana and cocaine user.........
I can't find David's picture, but he did post this on one of his sites as his photo.
Sheesh. He must be so proud of his work. Well, his writings are not so hard to find. He is to the left of Stalin, which surprises nobody.
But here's what Beck critics consider the scariest part: Americans are eating him up.
Americans should be told what to do, for their own good, I guess?
“But there’s fear among his critics, including calmer conservatives, that the victim more likely will be one of Beck’s many broadcast targets.”
________________________________________
Beck has been spot on. He knows what they’re up to. He even seems to know that he’s playing right into their hand by mentioning what’s going on.
Beck’s been talking about a “trigger” that would set in motion a chain of events leading to something resembling a communist state. That the elements are now being put in place in preparation for some event.
I’ve long feared that it would take only one lunatic to try to harm a major political figure, even the President, and that would set the ball rolling.
The first to go will be Rush, Levin, Beck, Hannity and the others. This country would change overnight. Martial law would happen within days.
We have to pray for these guys and pray that God does protect our country from this.
um....... how is his ratings compared to others? Isn’t his show #1?
He’s done more damage to the leftist, socialist, marxist, communist radicals than ANYONE else on the right... just by using their own words against them!
I think if were not for Beck, we would already be completely transformed into the Marxist/Communist utopia by now... The United States Socialist Republic.
I’m with you... i have been shopping around for a nice .410
I know it is small and not one of the most popular guage sizes, but I have little girls at home I need to teach
Yes that pesky old Constitution is just SO right-wing
A former alcoholic and drug addict
He had a desease, it wasn’t his fault, maybe he came form a broken home, was thrown out when he was just a child, lived in poverty his whole life, was mentally and physically abused by his parents or gardians.
OH! THATS RIGHT, HE’S NOT A LIBERAL SOCIALIST, MARIXIST PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRATE. therfore the above excuses DO NOT APPLY!
Just in case, be prepared with some back up:
