GLENN BECK AND THE RADICAL RIGHT
I watch Beck occasionally for the pure entertainment value. However, I wonder if we don't benefit from having someone way out there on the ledge saying things the rest of us are afraid to, or don't want to, say in mixed company. Beck is not a complete loon because there is a kernel of truth and reality in everything he says.
When he gets going he is like a tire rolling down a hill. When the rest of us think he should stop, he keeps going because he simply has no breaks. This: a)is often amusing and b)makes us think about the extreme consequences that can result from policies gone wild.
The fact of the matter is that jack-booted Nazis did take over Germany, ethnic groups were put in internment camps (on multiple occasions) and 3,000 Americans were killed in one day 8 years ago.
Years before these actual events any rational person would snort at their very idea. Yet they did happen and history is proof Beck's deranged brain is only the tip of the iceberg of what tragedies man can envision for himself in the future.
This is the power of Beck. Humor is blended with a knowledge by many that his fears are nutso. Yet in the back of our minds we know that it is slightly possible that his prescience will be proven.
