The Rodeo Clown & A Persecuted Majority


- Glenn Beck is feeling so disenfranchised by Obama that he feels the President is shooting in the head or setting on fire the "average American" so he demonstrates while lecturing the President on "sanity." What follows is the most insane thing I have ever seen on Fox News and that's saying a lot.

“I’m a rodeo clown. It takes great skill." - Glenn Beck

Mr. Beck’s success “is a product of the collapse of conservatism as an organized political force, and the rise of conservatism as an alienated cultural sensibility.”

“It’s a show for people who feel they belong to an embattled minority that is disenfranchised and cut off." - David Frum
[NY Times: "Fox New's Mad, Apocalyptic, Tearful Rising Star"]

[Gawker: "David Frum: 'What the Hell is Going on at Fox News?'"]




To suggest as Beck does that white Republicans are "alienated," "embattled" and "disenfranchised" is so laughably delusional and disgusting that you have to chuckle to keep from crying. The very idea that someone like Beck is being disenfranchised or persecuted and is some how a voice for the voiceless is so ostensibly offensive that it would be hard to even deal with if not for the fact that the "rodeo clowns" playing these roles do so willingly and without remorse fueling the fire from those that would fall prey to and identify with such ideas.
