Mind-boggling stupidity. I think Fox, Beck, Palin et al have tapped into a fringe market made up of America's most ignorant fringe element. I have never seen anything like the sheer stupidity of Glen Beck and his band of tea-baggers. I have yet to see one intelligent representative of this 'movement'. And it's so cynical to take advantage of this kind of ignorance. I am not sure if it's conditioning, lack of education, or if this affliction comes from tuning in regularly to Fox, Limbaugh, Beck, Palin and Savage, Hannity et al. Maybe if we were to do that, we would all be this ignorant.

I remember listening to Hannity's radio show for a few days in a row a couple of years ago, to try to find out why he had any audience at all. It was so painful a process I remember thinking that you could probably get terrorists to reveal anything you wanted from them, just by threatening them with a week of Hannity.

But, there has to be more to it than that, because a sane person would simply turn them off before they got to the point of ending up like some of these tea-baggers.
