Sounds familiar?  Yeah, he’s the same as Stephen Colbert.  But Colbert is on Comedy Central.  Glenny was on CNN until joining the rest of the characters at Fox News.  Colbert is entertainment.  Beck is presented as news.

And as a news reporter, it’s time to man-up.  Glenn’s been saying that Obama is going to take our guns loud enough for all the freaks to hear.  And freaks love listening to other freaks confirm their freaky ideas.  But if Don Imus can get canned for calling women basketball players “nappy-headed hos” then Beck deserves some blame for the shit he’s stirring.

Why?  Because these accusations fuel vigilantism.  Media Matters writer, Eric Boehlert, writes: O’Reilly and Fox News will have more right-wing vigilantism to explain.  They’re stirring up the nut jobs.  They’re fueling the fool fire.  And by doing so, people are starting to die.  It’s time for Beck to move on.
