...So, that's mostly the difference. I think Glenn Beck is an emtionally manipulative lying dick who just wants to make an easy buck based on, you know, things that actually happened. Glenn Beck hates everyone he hates because he's an emotionally manipulative lying dick who just wants to make an easy buck.
Don't forget that the emotionally-manipulative Glenn Beck is a also a nightly news
pundit and far from unique in that respect. My guess is that he "Lies!" and uses the word "Nazi" about as much as his left-wing counterpart, Keith Olbermann. At least, that's judging from all the people online who are busy spewing hate about Keith Olbermann.
I mean, come on!:

I wonder if they hate him because he's such a big liar or if he's such a big liar because they hate him? I really don't know, but it reminds me of much of the response toward Beck. The procedure is to flame, discredit, and, in the trend I decried earlier, irrationally extend one's hatred and dismissal onto the target's viewers and their unsteadily-represented ideological foundations. Olbermann makes such an incendiary spokesperson that he damages both sides. That's my gripe with Beck as well, and with all those who play the flame game. It's just one side's army spewing insults at the other's and people getting too caught up in it to even address the topic of a thread that tries to remain above the spreading circle of nonsense.
Also, regardless of tea partiers intelligence, I'd guess most watch almost exclusivelt Fox News. This makes them the least politically informed audience of any newsource except Network Morning Shows according to the PEW research center (though, to be fair, O'Reilly viewers were more well informed than other Fox viewers, though less well informed than Daily Show or Colbert Report viewers or people who get their news from major newspaper websites).
Yes. In fact, the O'Reilly Factor, in all of its superiority to the Glenn Beck show, ranked 4th out of the 16 categories, beating even CNN by 10, 2, and 8 percentage points, which in turn surpassed Fox News by 6, 0, and 6. Clearly then, those teabaggers who watch the Fox News Channel
exclusively (before tuning out when that damned, dirty, dishonorable ape, Bill O'Reilly comes on) are the real fools.
Excuse me for being snarky. Really, I'm not trying to antagonize or start an argument, and nor am I lumping you in with the pyromaniacs. The point is that I hate conflict, and therefore I must complain about the raging Beck-hatred on this forum, which I disagree with far,
far less (I don't, really) than I detest because it is gratingly asinine.
