Glenn Beck may easily be the world’s biggest douche bag.*

There. I said it.

I’m no saint, but I try my best to practice “if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all”.  I also try to make a conscious effort not to fill this blog with angry rants or negativity.

But today, the gloves are coming off.

Although his actions leave a bitter taste in my mouth (a taste remarkably vinegar in nature), I’d like to just consider Glenn Beck a sorry idiot -- to find compassion in my heart for the struggle life must be for such a delusional moron (I’m not one to make light of the mentally ill).

Thing is, Glenn Beck is more than a moronic douche bag.  He’s a dangerous moronic douche bag. Because unbelievably -- sadly (and unbelievably sadly) -- our country is filled with people who are so mentally lazy and emotionally stunted that they eagerly swallow every inane morsel he dishes out -- and then regurgitate it as “fact”.

If Fox News considers what they offer to be “factual news” and not political perspectives, then I can comfortably assert that it is a fact that Glenn Beck is indeed the World’s Biggest Douche Bag (“WBDB”).

The WBDB‘s attempt to politicize Yom Kippur as an opportunity for “Fast and Prayer for the Republic” (video above) is hard to top, but this latest tidbit from the Huffington Post achieves at least a close second:

The Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF), a Hollywood charitable organization, has helped to organize a push in the television industry to encourage volunteerism among the citizenry. The support for volunteerism will be spread across 60 shows, and in some cases woven into the plot lines.

Enter Glenn Beck, who reads in this yet another conspiracy theory that President Obama is using Hollywood in an attempt to turn American in a communist nation: “Well, this is fantastic. It’s almost like we’re living in Mao’s China right now.”

Beck seems worried that by encouraging more volunteerism we’re creating a problem, or a crisis, that will be exploited later, but it is difficult to follow the logic. Basically, Beck’s main point is that President Obama and Hollywood and the media are colluding to control your lives by promoting more community service and civic participation.

Really?
Mao’s China?! I have to wonder if most of the WBDB’s viewers actually know what that means, much less who Mao is.

So . . .Encouraging a spirit of community and helping other Americans in need can be equated to communist China.

Really.

I guess if that’s the case, then I’m volunteering to bring the chopsticks.

Anyone care to join me? :-)
