Glenn Beck says that the cause of the terrible shootings at Sandy Hook elementary school was shooter Adam Lanza loving to play violent video games. “Our sons and daughters are becoming desensitized to right and wrong and video games are a gateway drug for our kids and instead of a high, they get a numbness, they get an indifferent heart and a mind that cannot tell the difference between fiction and reality. This is medical fact, this is not crazy theory.” Uh, no. It’s not a “medical fact.” Tens of millions of kids play violent video games. A vanishingly small number of them commit violence. And such video games are played all over the world, even in nations with very low rates of violence.

For the umpteenth time, Glenn Beck has delivered another idiotic rant about how he’s just such a huge threat to the powers that be that they are going to try to destroy him. I find this greatly amusing. If you read wingnut sites, as I do, you’ll notice that virtually every ad that appears on them uses the “the government doesn’t want you to know this” line to get people interested. This is not a coincidence.

I’ve already given Glenn Beck the Bryan Fischer Award for hammering Alex Jones as a conspiracy theorist. Here he is outright saying that you can’t trust conspiracy theorists. Seriously, he’s become such a master of projection that he should get a job at a movie theater. Watch it to the end. The lack of irony is simply breathtaking.

Sen. Jim DeMint, who is leaving the Senate to become the president of the Heritage Foundation, went on Glenn Beck’s show and they had a little wingnut bromance. Beck says he’s ready to work with DeMint, who actually says that Beck has “brought a softer touch” to conservatism. Uh, crying for no reason while making batshit crazy claims about everyone he disagrees with being the second coming of Hitler isn’t a “softer touch,” it’s just being touched in the head.

Glenn Beck has once again taken out his secret decoder ring to play his favorite game of finding ways to link everything he doesn’t like to Adolf Hitler. This time it’s the UN Convention on the Rights of the Disabled, which is causing a spasm of outrage and fear mongering throughout the far right.

Glenn Beck’s crazy train keeps barreling down the tracks at breakneck pace. On his show the day before the election, he said that if America is so “dead inside” that we reelect Obama, we deserve to be destroyed by God.

Glenn Beck, who thinks that Mitt Romney is just like George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, is making his predictions on the election. And he thinks Romney wins by more than 100 electoral votes, because God is on Romney’s side.

Glenn Beck continues his absurd comparisons between Mitt Romney and America’s historical leaders. First it was Lincoln, now he’s comparing him to George Washington. And while he was frustrated with Romney’s docile nature in the last debate, he thinks Romney was passive because God told him to be.

Glenn Beck and David Barton waxed eloquent on Beck’s show recently about the absurd claim that Lincoln’s declaration of a day of prayer won the civil war, and then Beck declared, and Barton agreed, that Mitt Romney is the next Abraham Lincoln because he’ll listen to God. You can’t make this shit up.
