Get a clue. Glenn Beck is a dope.
This guy is fast approaching the new "Most Dangerous Man in America", taking that title away from Bill Kristol (who is still dangerous, but muzzled right now by the failure of the NeoConArtist Iraq policy).

But as press critic Eric Alterman pointed out (Altercation, 12/4/06), as offensive as that question is, it doesn't begin to suggest the poisonousness of Beck's rhetoric about Muslims.
