Limbaugh, not that he'd be great as a politician, but Beck is too paranoid to accomplish anything.
I had to watch a Glenn Beck video in my (charter) high school in which he claimed that Iranian terrorists/secret agents were infiltrating the US by virtue of our lack of action on illegal immigration. Beck is either one of the greatest con men of the modern age, or a paranoid nutjob.
Jesus, PP! I am truly sorry that you had to do that. Was it one of those right-wing nutjob schools?
Yeah, a charter high school that claimed to teach "the classics" and the virtues of "servant-leadership". What happened in reality is that half of the teachers openly taught a "constitutionalist" (re: anything far-right that they liked) and anti-government screed. I had to drop a certain class because one teacher was that obnoxious about it. And my last semester there, a different teacher showed multiple videos of Glenn Beck (including the aforementioned "Iranians and illegal immigrants" crap). The same teacher also showed a video called "the End of the American Dream", a Paulite goldbug piece of crap that claimed that the Federal Reserve was a gigantic Bilderburg conspiracy, and implied that the Federal Reserve killed Kennedy.
Oh, and my last year there I went on a field trip which turned out to be at another school where we heard that far-right buffoon Senator Mike Lee give a vaguely anti-government speech. And this is the kind of school were the students are mostly politically active and all far-right. Gaaah.
The only way I stayed sane at that school was that I had a moderate and smart history teacher, and a (I suspect secretly center-left) Bolivian-born Spanish teacher who agreed that far-right crap like that was terrible and stupid.
Oh, and my hatred for Glenn Beck happened long before this school.
