If you're going to pick a group to demonize this week, at least do your frickin' homework.

Here's a hint.

The way he spins it, you'd think people who were in favor of loose interpretations ate babies! Grandma and I really butted heads over that one. To say nothing of his thoughts about religion - separation of church and state means that I can be Wiccan without wanting to bring down the government, thank you so very much, Mr. Beck.

BRB, laughing my ass off. Where has this guy been for the last two years?

I cannot list just how much I've been waiting to hear some of that. Seriously, Glenn Beck has invoked Nazi Germany in his arguments so many times (for the most ridiculous reasons), that he should lose every argument by default from now until the sun implodes.

In a perfect world, it would go like this:

Glenn Beck: Well, you know the story. First they came for the Jews--"

[mic gets cut]

Larry King: I guess we'll have to cut this interview short. Y'know, Godwin's Law. We've been talking to Glenn Beck, stay tuned.
