Every time I watch Glenn Beck's show I'm struck by the possibility that what I'm watching is actually an alien invasion designed to brainwash the weak-minded and take over the most powerful country on earth. Either that or the most surreal comedy since Mony Python.
Glenn is an act, and he is playing it for his boss, Murdock. Murdock wants to reach the stupid and give them anger. When the anger hits the streets, the town halls our representative's offices, Murdock has created power. Our representatives change our laws toward less restrictions and more money to Murdock. Success. If a couple whackos take their anger to bad places, it's a price of Murdock doing business.
Hey, I really hate it when Glenn uses movie references, it just ruins really good movies. He used "The Princess Bride" again last week. I watched the original V series back in 1983, I watched a marathon rerun of it just this last weekend, and I tuned in for the reimaged series. It isn't bad, but it is SciFi. When it comes to quoting movie references, how about some "E.T." quotes: "This is reality, Greg." " Where is he from, Uranus? Get it? Your anus?" And lastly, to run it all together, Glenn you're a wimpy Cintus Suprimus with Zero Charisma!
Stupid is as stupid does. Anything for ratings. Fuchs Noose viewers aren't hooked on the news, they are hooked on the free entertainment the channel offers in their alternate universe.
I wouldn't mind Beck's rantings if it didn't somehow always end up that Democrats cause the problems he's talking about. Even when we just came out of 8 years of darkness, criminality, and treason by the Bush administration.

V is a remake of an 80s series of the same name. You remember the 80s when Reagan was president.
I think Sci Fi fans everywhere should be up in arms.
Watch and decide for yourself....but the similarities are eerie.
