An opinion piece which with I completely agree. Like all hate mongers, Beck–much too full of himself–eventually gets so egotistical, so imbued with his own self importance, so blown up with his “specialness”, he destroys himself. A must read.

Cenk Uygur explains exactly what was wrong with Glen Beck's distorted characterization of George Soros.

And who is going to fire him? A fish rots from the head.
