Glenn Beck was/is one of the rare few people in the media, including the conservative media who delved into the important details of the communist groups and individuals. Most of his antics were pure theater meant to keep those with short attention spans interested long enough to perhaps learn something. The manner in which he presented the information: blackboards, charts, videos, etc, were a fantastic way of passing this info on, of schooling people to the reality that the communist movement is still very much alive today. He connected the dots and presented much of the information straight from the horse’s mouth, the commies’ own websites, videos, and writings.
