  • No, Beck was clearly inspired by Gen. Ripper; a paranoid conspiracy theorist, thinking that he, and only he, in his messianic delusions, can save the nation by touching off a cataclysm, a man so completely divorced from reality that he thinks nuclear war is not only a viable option, it is a winnable option, it is the only option. After all, both are obsessed with the Commies behind every curtain, working to destroy all we hold dear. I'm waiting for Beck to condemn the evil plot of fluoridation.

  • So you're saying that Glenn Beck looks like Patton.

  • The parallels between then and now are astounding. We are being held hostage by the far right and the stakes are just as high. The players are just as crazy and the logic is the same.

  • Well, there you have it... Glen Beck, trying to do Network's Howard Beale, and he comes off as Dr. Strangelove's General "Buck" Turgidson. Right idea, wrong schtick.

  • If you can't "C" you'll never understand "Y".
