Topic: Decline of the West
This morning on his radio show, Glenn Beck remarked that if Newt Gingrich becomes the Republican Party’s presidential nominee and Ron Paul undertakes a third-party candidacy, he’d consider voting for Paul.
WTF?! Doesn’t Beck realize that a third-party bid by a libertarian or conservative would most likely hand the election to Barack Obama? Or does he indeed know this and simply not care? I’ve never liked this guy, not since the first time I caught him bloviating on Fox. Beck likes to play the historical scholar—but his grasp of history is superficial, e.g. his lame attempt to draw a comparison between Weimar Germany and present-day America. He likes to play the sober, responsible citizen commentator—but then he gives a nod of approval to Ron Paul, a wingnut of the purest ray serene.
Glenn, I don’t know how to put this any other way but impolitely: You’re a jerk.
