Glenn Beck's March on History
I realize that demagogues love nothing more than to incite anger by ranting and raving and especially they love nothing more than drawing attention to themselves by controversial stunts and antics. This is why it is always best to completely ignore such behavior just as a parent might ignore a child who is throwing a temper tantrum. Beck's antics are on that level. This latest stunt was just too insulting and provocative to ignore. With no basis in reason and being completely based on emotion and fear, Beck consistently appeals to fascist elements in our society that are growing more and more acceptable as part of the mainstream. Unfortunately his followers have limited knowledge of history and government and seems easily swayed by Fox news assertion of fair and balanced. In case you have not heard, Beck's latest self-promotional tantrum involved a March on Washington. Beck claimed to have not noticed that it was the anniversary of the Civil Rights March on Washington
