GLENN BECK AND THE RADICAL RIGHT
Why do you assume that Beck only appeals to the "alienated fringe"? I know a number of Ivy-educated (or equivalent) attorneys, hedge fund managers, and executives who think that Beck is describing a scenario that has a 20%-50% chance of coming about.
As for your speculation whether you've joined the "exclusive club" of the "elites," you need to remember that there is a difference between "elites" and "elitists."
"Elites" are those who are close to the levers of power due to wealth, political position, professional achievement, etc.
"Elitists" are those who favor the opinions and/or interests of the "elites" over the non-elites because they believe the elites are superior people.
Don't worry-- your views on Glenn Beck won't make you a member of the "exclusive club" of the "elites." They do make you seem a little "elitist."
