Why we Need Glenn Beck

This is why. I don’t care if Glenn can’t spell “oligarch,” and I definitely don’t care if the left thinks he has an insufficiently delicate sense of respect for the President. His comments about Obama are the soul of discretion compared to their demonization and villification of Bush. You can agree or disagree with Beck’s interpretation of them, but the idea that the video clips of Obama’s “green czar,” Van Jones, he showed on his program are insignificant is utterly ludicrous. Now compare his coverage of Jones with the “hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil” versions that appeared, for example, here, here, here, and here in the legacy media and try to tell me with a straight face that their pathetic, monotone “sweetness and light” propaganda narrative about Jones is all anyone needs to know to be “adequately informed” about him. For that matter, try to tell me that the Europeans, who have no equivalent of our talk radio or influential bloggers on the right, and whose delicate ears can’t bear to listen to Foxnews, aren’t sucking canal water when they tell us their fairy tales about being “better informed” than Americans. The left isn’t attempting to censor Beck because he’s “insufficiently respectful,” and they most definitely aren’t trying to censor him because he can’t spell oligarchy. They are trying to censor him because they have no respect for freedom of speech, and because they believe there are certain opinions the American people shouldn’t be allowed to hear.
