The Annotated Glenn Beck



I wanted to blog about "crazier than crazy" Glenn Beck's little Thomas Paine skit but it was honestly just too painful ("paine"ful?)to watch more than once. Well, thanks to the good folks at The Daily Kos, that problem has been solved. Sit back and enjoy the annotated version of the skit.

As an aside, wouldn't it be funny if Beck's audience would actually take a moment to read and understand Thomas Paine's writings for themselves? I'm picturing an entire generation of far right wing christian nut jobs reading "Age of Reason", thinking that Thomas Paine is their hero (because "crazier than crazy" Glenn Beck said so) and then being like, "What? Huh? The bible says what?"

Anyway, I'll leave you with a thought to ponder. Who is crazier, Glenn Beck or Timothy McVeigh? And for extra credit, which one is more dangerous to America?
