It's easy to make fun of Glenn Beck. We've done it here, and Beck even does it himself (as on the November cover of his Fusion magazine).
But over the last couple of weeks, as Beck lay recuperating from appendicitis, he's been the target of numerous satirical skewerings, from such parodists as 'Saturday Night Live,' 'The Daily Show,' and 'South Park.' Some of these barbs have gone beyond mocking his on-air antics and have gotten viciously personal. Not that we want to be the Beck-lash police, but to paraphrase a well-known Britney Spears fan, is it time to leave Glenn Beck aloooone?
Beck makes himself an easy target. There's his Vicks Vaporub-induced crying jags, his bizarre conspiracy theories, his distortions of fact (which he often does by quoting people out of context), his (literally) inflammatory rhetoric, the desertion of his show by 80 former advertisers (as a result of said inflammatory rhetoric), and his cult of personality/political movement.

Victim in fatal car accident tragically not Glenn Beck
Reminds me of this
All completely fraudulent statements. Rather the writing such ignorant drivel Gary, try actually watching and listening to Beck
;-/
Yeah. In an article purporting to be sticking up for Glenn, it spends most of its time attacking him.
glenn beck is alot more dangerous than rush these days. Glenn Beck exposes ppl in the Obama admin, which gets them fired. Corruption in ACORN/SEIU etc
“Vicks Vaporub-induced crying jags”
Didn’t he do this for a photoshoot? I would be more concerned if he could cry on cue. But since he was taking pics mocking his own self crying, he needed vicks for tears.
That is what I got out of it. Especially that paragraph that talked about why Glenn is an “easy target”.
I was shocked to see this coming from AOL. (I skimmed the article when it popped up on my home page). I’ll have to actually read it in more depth now, but I have to admit,, the title alone is shocking to me.

Read the comments at AOL. Love the fact that the Leftist posters there are such obvious liars. They all claim to “have watched Beck” yet make such transparently fraudulent accusations about Beck
Beck is right. We have radical marxists in the White House.
Liberals have scales of biblical proportions over their eyes.
Hope they are having fun now, because they aren’t just in denial...
Most people who hate Glenn Beck have never even watched or listened to Glenn Beck. Megadittos Rush.
Does anyone know why Mark Levin absolutely hates Glenn? On the radio, Levin attacks Glenn more viciously than anybody else.
Just because this guy writes for the Village Voice doesn't make him gay!
...or does it?
My guess:
Beck doesnt want mindless robots. He wants a group of free thinking people who wants to know what the hell happened to America.
Mindless robots are on the left. They are people who dont ask questions, wont make decisions and would rather be lead.They are afraid that one day, they will have to think for themseleves.
It’s like he’s saying “I COULD point out that Glenn Beck is a criminally insane mentally retarded caveman, but I won’t, because I’m above that.”
Too late! Beck has already defused these attempts to mock him, by embracing the humor and laughing at it. You libtards screwed up. He immunized himself. Keep mocking him. Every time he plays them on his show, it reminds ALL of your extreme left bias. Keep it up. Dig your graves.
