Google "lunatic fringe", click "news" tab, the top story is about Sarah Palin

[NAO]

and there are lots of stories about tea-partiers, militias, and patriots;

also stories about militant tea-partiers and patriotic militias.

Someone please do a slide show to the old Red Rider song "Lunatic Fringe".

Be sure to include some coverage of "Professor Beck" at his chalkboard. Many tea-partiers credit him as the intellectual fountainhead of their movement.

1. Beck is an "Intellectual Fountainhead"??? LOL, but Tea Bagging morons really believe that!

That scatterbrained dolt! He is a gifted media gangster who can easily dupe the most gullible, ignorant and illiterate with his rants, fake tears and his theatrics. I'm listening to the song now and trying to figure out imagery to put with it. I believe the Looney Tunes cartoon theme put with images of Beck acting like a lunatic on his freak television show would be even better.

2. I thing someone misspelled "Ineffectual."

That's the only adjective I can think of that applies when used with fountainhead.

3. Glen Beck as educator: see - video of Victoria Jackson on FOX at Media Matters

Former SNL star Victoria Jackson explains to a FOX news host how Beck has educated her about politics, how he confirmed her suspicions that Obama was a Communist by explaining the equivalency of Progressivism and Communism.

If stupid is what they want, Jackson is wayyyyyyyy better than Palin.
