By the Grace of God, Glenn Beck and Alex Jones do not represent America, or even most of the right.

I just wanted to share. Don't bother with the "you are mocking us because you do not understand us and it is all cheap shots anyway" deal (and, to be fair, that is true: pointing out that Fox peddles nonsense is a little too easy). I won't be dragged in to a big discussion. No time. Must run.
But I wanted to share.

Alex Jones is quick to tell you how everyone but he and his fellow nuts are part of the same global conspiracy. I'm still waiting for the fulfillment of his late nineties prediction that the Bilderbergers would install Clinton as UN Secretary General at the end of his presidency, at which point he'd implement the long agreed upon confinement of Americans to a few industrial cities and the reservation of most of the continental US as environmental sanctuaries any of us would be shot for entering. I happen to think there is at least a kind of conspiracy, even if only one of circumstance, but if it has any kind of active organized form rather than a few behind the scenes power brokers whose interests dovetail, Alex Jones is most likely to be part of a misinformation brigade that includes the likes of David Icke (whom, I'd like it noted, is from not-America, or fakes his British accent well). They don't represent any kind of mainstream American thought and it's both unfair and unkind to pretend they do. Alex Jones using the explosion over the Pentagon in the (rebooted) Illuminati card game as "proof111" the Illuminati planned 911 with Bush as their pawn proves nothing more than that he and Steve Jackson happen to live in the same town; it doesn't implicate me simply because I've spent a little time in Austin, too. All it really means is that Alex Jones lacks the wit to appreciate a truly fine and fun game.

I think you should replace "Fox" by "funny Americans".

This is true. We'll just have to leave it to Glenn Beck to provide the poetry, now. *NM*

That leads to the interesting question of how you define "anti-American".

I posted earlier with observations on how idiotic Fox is sounding generally on the Egypt situation.

Maybe, but I'll need evidence; regardless, that's not what this is about, is it?

Oh, is Beck a "socialism fan favor[ing] the violent dicator since he can bring order and subsidies"?
