Then you must have missed the thread from Oct. 8 -- HowMormonismBuiltGlennBeck. Here's an excerpt from Joanna Brooks article posted at ReligionDispatches.org:

Beck, who was raised Catholic in Washington state, has produced, with the help of Mormon Church-owned Deseret Book Company, the DVD An Unlikely Mormon: The Conversion Story of Glenn Beck (2008); Mormon fansites invite visitors to learn more about Beck’s beliefs by clicking through to the official Web site of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

That's NOT A STORY BECK DID.

That's a story ABOUT him. Give me a story HE did that was skewered by HIS religious beliefs!

This administration wants Glenn Beck to shut up. They want it very badly. How better to do it than to get conservatives fighting over his religion? If I was an administration official and I had thought of doing this to Glenn, I would be laughing my ass off right now because it was so effective.

Glenn is just a commentator, he is not dictating government policy, he is not shoving legislation down our throats, he is not insisting that we worship as he does.

Don't like Glenn? Punch the one on the left.

Are you that challenged?

Here, I'll go to http://deseretbook.com -- which is owned by the Mormon church -- for you: AnUnlikelyMormonTheConversionStoryOfGlennBeck

Here's an excerpt of their description of GLENN BECK's PRESENTATION that GLENN BECK APPROVED for his religious body to circulate worldwide!

An Unlikely Mormon shows the real Glenn Beck. But be careful, Glenn's enthusiasm for his faith is contagious.

...In this presentation, Glenn Beck tells an audience of nearly 7,000 about his conversion to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints...Glenn bears his testimony about home teaching, tithing, and the transforming power of the Spirit. ...Glenn's story will strengthen the testimony of any Latter-day Saint. In addition, An Unlikely Mormon will be an ideal missionary tool.

OK, Puppage, what part of "An Unlikely Mormon will be an ideal missionary tool" will I need next to explain for you?
