Bill Maher makes a relevant point. I f Glen Beck acts off his rocker everyday, why hasn't he been
referred for mental evaluation? Does he own a gun? The same question needs to be asked about Bachman and O'reilly.

1. Because he makes his corporate master millions of dollars a year
so they can pay him his fat 50 million a year salary. Remember, money trumps welfare.

2. You can't force adults into treatment unless you prove
they might physically hurt themselves or others.

3. I absolutely believe that Beck is doing performance art. As soon as he got wind
ala Coulter, that the crazier you appear, the money the cash roles in, he went with it. How can you explain his back pack survival kit? That is one of the most hilarious bits Ive ever seen. problem is, that he attracts one looney, unstable audience, but he doesn't care. His past is in comedy and working on ZOO radio. He learned how to perform and found a calling in violent "shock jock" work. How can one explain his web site yesterday where he calls on and end to violence but has a shot of him to the left holding a pistol peeking at his message from around a corner? It is all done for a reason. There is nothing crazy about him. It's all a performance. His audience is certainly whacked out to believe he makes sense to them. But Beck? he is crying all the way to the bank.

4. Do you really believe he acts that way
when he's not in front of a TV camera? Please, don't be as gullible as his audience, who believe the cartoon character they see on TV is who Beck really is. He's a performer. His job is to get asses in seats in front of the box for the advertisers to pitch their crap to. He does his job well.

5. The truth is that Beck's thoughts and his crazy charts are
the rantings of a fucking madman.
