Glenn! Glenn! Glenn!

In warning that the Holocaust Memorial shooting is just the tip of the iceberg, Glenn Beck is stirring the pot, watching it boil, and laughing all the way to the bank. Since he moved over to Fox News from CNN, Beck has done a hard right turn and is hatching all sorts of crazy right-wing ideas and hosting various nutjobs on his show. Crooks and Liars does a detailed piece about it here.



Reading the piece and watching the video got me thinking: other than being less interesting and entertaining, what makes Beck's show any different from the hood-wearing KKK-hosting, chair-throwing circus acts that were regularly featured on Geraldo, Morton Downey, Jr., and Jerry Springer in past decades?
