Glenn Beck is smarter than you think

[Timminz]

In a stunning admission that is likely to send shockwaves throughout the American media, “Glenn Beck” announced on Sunday that his radio and television shows are part of an elaborate social experiment to find out whether he could “make the crazy seem plausible to millions of people.”

[Army of GOD]

Sir, this is old news (apparently), sir.

When the Glenn Beck Program premiered in 2000, Morton espoused moderately conservative views. However, as time progressed, Morton said he realized that in order to maintain ratings that would keep him on the air, he would have to “up the ante.” Gradually, Morton went from a reasonable but obscure radio show host to a right-wing fringe figure broadcast over 280 stations nationwide by 2008.

The title of this thread really isn't very difficult to believe at all. The same could be said for Jay Leno, Rush Limbaugh, Al Sharpton, Sarah Palin and George Bush.

Sir, it doesn't work for Obama though. After all, he is just a damned Socialist. Sir.

Actually, I think Sharpton and Limbaugh are pretty smart. They have a whole lot more money than I do (not that intelligence equates to wealth, but still).

Limbaugh I actually agree with (and I've said so in these fora). Sharpton...not so much.

Sharpton plays to his crowd the same as Limbaugh plays to his crowd. They do a good job with it.

Hell, Sharpton parlayed some of that into a recurring gig on Boston Legal.

Yeah, it really doesn't. You should know that, dude. Paris Hilton isn't smart, but she's made her own fortune now...

Limbaugh and Sharpton aren't smart, they're just uninhibited. They recognize an audience and pander to it. They're nothing more than jesters, and haven't had any new material in 20 years.

Oh cool, so you agree that black people shouldn't be allowed on the bus? Enlightening.

I find that highly intelligent... pandering to an audience for financial gain, assuming that is one's goal in life.

I do not find Paris Hilton intelligent because she has done nothing to get her money.

Why do I HIGHLY doubt this? Lets see.... for one I'd be a tad upset that I have spent close to, if not more than, $100 on his books. His show comes on in 8 minutes..... so I'll let you know if this is hogwash or not.

BOLLOCKS!!!! He's REAL!

[Juan_Bottom]

OMG!
WAS IT PART OF HIS "EXPERIMENT" WHEN HE RAPED AND MURDERED THAT GIRL IN 1990?!?

Or am I thinking of Nancy Grace? Or Nancy Pelosi? Was the victims name Nancy?

BOLLOCKS!!!! He's REAL!

Oh, well damnitt then.

You are clearly mistaking innate intelligence with showmanship. You should work on that.

I'm sorry Jay. I didn't think anyone would actually believe it. I just thought it was very well-written satire. So close to believable, yet almost obviously false.

Also, thanks for falling for it. It's making me laugh.

you gotta admit that the way you phrased it is pretty misleading.

OH! I thoroughly mis-understood your point. Well done.

His books are interesting - way more interesting than his show imo. He gets a little bit too emotionally involved when doing his TV show for my taste.

This is true. I don't think I could ever underestimate him.
