So I got it figured out. Finally.
Anyone who watches TV nowadays knows who Glenn Beck is. His antics get more and more insane each week, from quoting statistics that don't exist, to completely distorting the news, and theatrics on camera (crying over TV commercials). Yet as they do, more and more people come to watch him... Hell even I watch his clips online.
And it makes me wonder, could I ever go so far, as to lie to the public, to infuriate them against their own government who is trying to help (yes thats what they're trying to do if nothing else), so far as to call for blood. I mean, sure money and attention will drive some people to do some crazy things in life. Even the sweetest Parent Trap star knows this.
Now quoting Keith Olbermann, "Delusion is a serious illness". He glanced over this saying yesterday on TV, more trying to make a point against Beck... but it got me thinking.

Maybe this is just it. No doubt, Glenn Beck is a smart man. He manages to find links to activities completely unrelated, then twist and embellish to make them seem, as he quotes "coincidental". He then lures the audience to think they're doing something themselves that they are not, come to their own conclusions. It's propaganda at its best and its genius.
But its completely immoral, and its this sort of thinking that his viewers are so adamantly against. If most of them would just read 1984 and Animal Farm, his show would crash faster than a meteor. But why do your own research, when Glenn Beck can do it for you?
PS. I decided to play with links and embeds some. Check them out and let me know if they're busted. Sorry for going to the most liberal of liberal sources, Wikipedia.
