I think I'm in the minority but Glenn Beck never bothered me. If you didn't like his message, change the channel. What I find most odd is people like to portray him as an idiot, yet pay an absurd amount attention to him and what his says. You could argue that its for the lulz, but then what does that say about his critics? They're no more than the equivalent to schoolyard children hurling "ur stupid" insults in political discourse?
The fact that people like Glenn Beck exist make me happy, because he can exist, our system allows for diverse opinions and allows those opinions to be expressed. I never liked Olbermann, but I didn't celebrate when his show was cancelled and I certainly didn't expend any energy to demonize him. Whatever you think of Beck, he gets people talking one way or another and I don't think that's a bad thing.
