Blowhard Glenn Beck Strikes Again

To paraphrase President Ronald Reagan, well, there he goes again.............

That fine, thoughtful, deep, highly intelligent poster child for civilized political commentary, Glenn Beck, has hit a new low; and for him, that is really saying something.  What brilliant, insightful observation has set Mr. Beck apart from the other hot air merchants on both sides of the political spectrum?  Well, in his infinite wisdom, he compared the innocent victims of the terrorist attack in Norway with the Hitler Youth.  Again, I don't make these things up; however, I wouldn't have believed it, had I not seen it and heard it for myself.

Beck Compares Massacre Victims To Hitler Youth

Seriously, Glenn?  Those of us who can put together a string of logical thoughts know that you are a caricature, but this is pathetic, even for you.  These kids were learning about democracy from the ground up.  Perhaps if we tried such a thing here in the US, we wouldn't have so many clueless citizens.  Further, the LAST thing that the Hitler Youth were was a political organization.  Of course, with your obvious lack of knowledge of American and world history, I am not surprised you would not be aware of this well known fact. 

I realize you have to be outrageous to compete with Limbaugh, Coulter, and their ilk, but how dare you compare innocent victims of a shooting rampage to a paramilitary group of Nazis?  Disgusting.  And yet there are people out there who think you actually have something to contribute to political discourse in this country.  Maybe after this latest episode, they will see you for the windbag you are.  Here is hoping you fade into obscurity and never pollute our media with your venom again.

Peace and love, my brothers and sisters.
