No one here is going to defend Glen Beck, so at best it would just be a one-sided conversation congratulating ourselves for realizing how irrational he is. This doesn't seem like a productive use of anyone's time.
I wouldn't be so sure. Which would turn it into an exasperating thread, and be an even bigger waste of time, and change no one's opinions. Which is what 99% of politics discussions are on the internet.
I wasn't the first to start this thread but once it was started I am adding comments that are relative to the context.
