After ranting about how "illegal immigration is modern-day slavery," Beck compares himself to Ben Franklin

From the October 9 edition of Fox News' Glenn Beck:

Previously:

Beck: "modern day slave state" being constructed out of ACORN, SEIU, student loans, census and service initiatives

Beck: "The government's irresponsible spending is turning us into slaves"

Beck says he can "make a case" Rathke brothers are "enslaving people through ACORN"

Tax deduction change latest Obama proposal Beck claims "involves enslaving people"

Beck: "You know what this president is doing right now? He is addicting this country to heroin-the heroin that is government slavery."

Beck says of stimulus package: "It is slavery"

Beck again compares recovery bill to slavery 

Does Glenn Beck support the slave trade or is he just an "idiot"?
