My feeling on Glenn Beck is they made him out to be someone who investigates consipacies but then made him appear half crazed so he fits in with all the rest of the so called conspiracy nut jobs. Aned from mainstream forums or news site comments It worked as I've seen more then one comment where people call him just that.
Soo... I vote class clown.
But as usual their plans backfire and he has created a lot more interest in the alternitive views from many viewers who would have otherwise never known about it.
