Question Glen Beck! Seriously?

OK, I'm wading into murky waters here, but I automatically discount anything that Glen Beck or Rush Limbaugh have to say about anything! When Beck was pressed by Jon Stewart about his "facts or truth telling" Beck said, "I'm not a reporter, I'm a commentator." That told me a lot. He really doesn't feel he has to back up his tirades with facts at all.

Times are changing and this is the one thing the extreme right is not getting! Soon, you will be hard pressed to find anyone, Republican or Democrat, that didn't have some kind of a past coming out of the 60's and 70's. Whether it be drugs or alcoholism (Bush) or a tie to some radical group. It was a turbulent time. Why I remember that wearing army shirts and fake bullet belts with jeans was the fashion for awhile. I can't speak for small rural towns, but certainly in urban areas.

And it's going to get worse. Soon... maybe not in our years, but in years to come... you won't be able to find a person without a relative or friend tied to some gang. And drugs are still running rampant. Look at Michael Phelps.

People are changing, demographics are changing. And all the extreme right is doing is yelling, like the Wicked Witch in the Wizard of Oz... because they are shrinking. "I'm melting...I'm melting."

No, sorry, I don't think that Van Jones will lose his job. Nor do I think he should. At least not over anything Glen Beck has to say.
