An Asheville radio host was (temporarily) taken off air after questioning Glenn Beck's sanity
Beck has gained a burgeoning national conservative following for political commentary blasting liberals, the Barack Obama administration and what he deemed government excesses.

The host berated critics for flooding the station with e-mails and calls, saying they should be concerned with more important issues. Some fans though said it was wrong for the station to punish the host who is a “valuable community resource.”

“I think it's stupid. A radio host needs to be able to give his opinions … and it will hurt the show and hurt the community because he provides a good informational service,” one fan said.

1. In today's Citizen-Times LTTE
The dustup regarding local talk show host, Matt Mittan, for questioning Glenn Beck's sanity is like turning over the asylum to the inmates.
