I'm a Mormon and I'm embarrassed by Glenn Beck

So, it's been a couple of days. I really don't have a lot of time before I go to church, so I'll be fairly brief. I think the topic at hand applies because I'm on my way to church. I'm going to complain about how Glenn Beck likes to appeal to the lowest common denominator of American society to make money. Beck, and his ilk, like Michael Savage and Rush Limbaugh, like to appeal to the white nationalists in society. The problem with Beck, is that his stance is somewhat softer, which allows his views to reach a larger audience. The result of this is an insidious spiral downward into the depths of nationalism, racism and general douchebaggery. I'll expound more up on this in upcoming posts, but Beck's vitriol filled and violent opposition to President Obama is a good start. The open hostility which Beck and his ilk have toward the president, along with fellow conservative idiot Sarah Palin, is rooted more in xenophobia and racism than his liberality. Obama is really more of a centrist, and that's why it's funny that the Right is attempting to paint him as a communist dictator. The others I can write off, but I have a special hatred for Beck, who, I feel, gives the LDS Church a horrible name by openly identifying with us.
