Am I dreaming, or has Sara Palin and that Beck character joined forces? I caught a glimpse of the story in passing, but the thought is scary, but very enlightening. I wondered when the real Sarah Palin would show up. Now all she needs is a sheet over her head and a torch ready light a cross on somone's lawn, maybe even carrying a noose. Glenn Beck is a racist, no ifs, no ands, no butts! There is no other explanation aside from the obvious; to bigots have found each other and are joining forces to promote Jim Crow all over again. They may not be able to reverse things back to 1950, but then can make it difficult to solidify race and class relations. Those two in collaboration are as dangerous as a angry blind man with a gun in a subway station.
Ignorance always troubles me. Ignorance times two really troubles me, because they are both influential figures that appeal to other ignorant individuals with guns. They possibility of Sarah Palin running for president in 2012 is a nightmare in high definition. The possibility of her winning is a bad acid trip. This unholy alliance is going to be interesting to watch over the next several years. It's like Hannibal Lechter and Jeffrey Damer inviting you to dinner, it's a one way trip.
