The Democrats are the party that says government will make you smarter, taller, richer, and remove the crabgrass on your lawn. The Republicans are the party that says government doesn’t work and then they get elected and prove it. ~P.J. O’Rourke

Glenn Beck Laughing all the way to the Bank

I can’t help but laugh when I look at the fiasco that is Glenn Beck.  The stuff he tells the public or insinuates is just insane and hilarious at the same time, it would be even more  hilarious if his viewers didn’t actually take everything he says as gospel truth.  Liberals hate him and are pulling out their hair, Right Wing Conspiracy theories tune into get the latest conspiracy marble rolling around that Mormon coconut of his.  And I must admit, I have been caught up at times with the Stop Glenn Beck Boycott campaign put on by Color of Change, which has successfully pulled 64 advertisers.  Which is costing FOX NEWS $500,000 a week in advertising, leaving Beck with sponsors like “Cash for Gold”. Yet Beck lives to cough out another conspiracy theory.  I believe this week it is , Fluoride in the drinking water to control our minds and makes us more easy to control!  RISE UP AMERICA!  LOL

Now it is easy to go and say Glenn Beck is a moron and needs to be stopped.  But you have to respect the guy.  A few savvy moves from his publicist’s Matthew Hiltzik founder of “Strategic communications” and what do you know, Glenn Beck made 23 million dollars the last 12 months. No wonder he went from saying our health care is the worst, to saying America has the best Health Care in the world. FOLLOW THE MONEY BABY! 23 million buys allot of Health Care doesn’t it, not that cheap socialist type either, we are talking Dick Cheney Halliburton Exec health care. When you see that, Glenn Beck doesn’t seem like that much an idiot any more does he. He has made more in a month then most people will see in a decade!

But is this really surprising? Rush had his “hay day” under the Clinton Administration, telling all his faithful listeners how Clinton destroyed America that day.  You really think Rush was sad to see the Republican lose in 2008?  Why do you think he says the things he says,  because getting a rise out of people makes for good no GREAT radio.  If another radio station or website talks about how Rush just said that, we should bring back segregation, do you really think that hurts his ratings?  NOPE!  It helps his ratings and ratings sell advertising!  Ensuring that the Rush Limbaughs and Glenn Beck’s aren’t going very far.  Color of Change may succeed is getting Beck pulled from Fox, but Beck will bounce back some where else.  Honestly, Rush probably hates the fact that Glenn Beck is stealing his thunder!  They have been having a full fledge “Douche Off” since January 20th, getting more and more extreme.  Which is making conservative leaders see Glenn Beck and Rush as huge liabilities to the Party’s political future, as they are undermining the conservative base and make the conservatives appear extreme.  This does nothing but push the fence sitters and moderates to look to the other side or a third party option.

So how is Glenn Beck punkin’ America?  Well Matthew Hiltzik is the key to the whole thing!

Over the last few years, he’s had to fend off the rumors surrounding Couric’s tumultous tenure as anchor of the CBS Evening News, and it was Hiltzik who did damage control for Alec Baldwin after a voicemail of him verbally assaulting his daughter became an internet sensation in April 2007. In 2007, he also repped Imus after the shock jock was accused of making racist remarks. *

So Matthew Hiltzik is no stranger to controversy!  In fact controversy more often then not helps careers.  Look at Palin and David Letterman.  Letterman had great ratings, and Palin kept herself in the public eye.  So this entire interview is nothing but a publicity stunt put on by Matthew Hiltzik for two of his best clients, Glenn Beck and Katie Couric!  As of writing this blog,  the interview hasn’t aired yet, but one only needs to look at the teaser for the interview to see what is going on,  he says McCain would have been worst for America then President Obama.  This of course has conservative personality up in arms now! [Example]  More publicity for Glenn Beck which mean more books, more magazine covers and more overall demand.  He is on the cover of TIME for cryin’ out loud!

So let’s keep things in perspective with Glenn Beck.  He isn’t a dummy.  If you want him to go away, Ignore him.

Ultimately Liberals should be happy because Glenn Beck is helping the 2010 elections by getting all the crazies worked up.  Another year of this stuff and people will be so sick of their crazy aunt forwarding them every misinformed piece of propaganda they can find…
