Has Glenn Beck replaced Rush Limbaugh as titular head of the Republican party?
Excerpt:

(snip)

But it's not just about ratings. The town hall theater that health insurer giants like United health Care influenced by urging their own employees to attend was largely aided by people who are avid fans of Glenn Beck. While waiting in line to get into my own local town hall meeting I talked to the people standing around me. The woman standing just behind me told me, "I get all of my information from Glenn Beck. You should too." She was holding out printed information she got from Glenn Beck (presumably from his website).

Another woman came around passing out fliers for the town hall travelers with information on the next trip. She too said Glenn Beck tells her everything she needs to know.

(snip)

The Republican party is desperate and now they seem to have chosen a leader even more unconscionable than Rush Limbaugh.

If Rush Limbaugh was like the Tony Soprano of the the GOP, Glenn Beck is more like the Michael Scott of the GOP. Beck weeps and laughs and cajoles and makes analogies that are incomprehensible.

Here's a comparison of Glenn Beck to Michael Scott. Watch the following videos.

1. The republican party
has no leader. In farm talk they are like rats and mice that scurry every direction when you move their hiding place.

2. The Republican party has been really good about putting
progressives and liberals on the defensive. We need to fight back. Instead of attacking each other, we should be attacking elected Republicans. They aren't doing anything to help the country. Instead we've been manipulated into defending all the things that don't need defending. Every American deserves access to health care.

3. Glenn beck who shares initials with an empire that tried to crush us twice...
That should frighten some of his "base" into thinking they are worshiping an Anti-Christ.
