I was flipping the channels last night and I came across an ad for one of those Barbara Walters "10 Most Fascinating People" specials, and this year she included Glenn Beck on her list.

What is ABC thinking? They only feed into his lunacy and make him go more insane by the minute. His nuttiness does hurt America. When did being a lunatic become interesting, Barbara? Sure, Bill O'Reilly is jealous, but who cares?

This is why our media are so screwed up. They take a far right-black helicopter extremist and tell Americans that he's interesting, No, he's dangerous. Just check out his role in Richard Poplawski's deadly outburst.

Shame on Barbara and shame on ABC.

1. I noticed he called himself Libertarian.

Aren't libertarians supposed to be pro choice, pro gay rights, and against wasteful Military spending. This guy is a phoney.

6. He's managed to embrace only the negative aspects while rejecting the good ones.

I could be wrong, but I'm guessing he didn't talk about Bush destroying the 4th amendment. In fact, he probably doesn't talk about the current administration in that context which is pathetic because there is real, substantive criticism to be had there.

12. Outside Glenn Beck's house in Connecticut

That guy's a phony!

2. Shame

Shame, Shame on Barbara Walters for Legitimizing the hate that comes from this man. It changes my impression of her. She obviously is only interested in ratings and at the expense of the American People. First ABC legitimizes the climate change deniers and now Glenn Beck.

3. Barf

Yeah, this nutcase really has his finger on the pulse, Barbara.

Did she mention he was so fascinating that practically nobody showed up for his "Christmas Sweater" nonsense?

[LibDemAlways]

4. Barbara was really scraping the bottom of the barrel this year. She

also included whiney Kate Gosselin of reality tv fame, who bitched on camera that her kids cried their little eyes out when told that the tv show (aka gravy train) was over. Sure they did.

As for Beck, I can think of lots of adjectives to describe him. "Fascinating" isn't one of them.

5. wow, even after this lying sack of dog mess lied right to her face

on the View. Guess she didn't bring that up.

[abq e streeter]

7. "What is ABC thinking" ? That they've been a slightly "kinder/gentler" Fox "News" for some time now

this is just further proof

8. Barbara's executive producer is a wingnut

And she's senile, so she gets to go along with his wingnuttery. Notice no mention of calling the President a racist? How'd that not make the cut?

[davidhilton]

9. he is so believable - yuk.

[Plucketeer]

10. Barbara must be hard up for subjects to interview.

Beck takes "Ass-Hatisms" to new heights. I was tickled to hear that his audience has shrunken significantly of late.

[arcadian]

11. Enemy number 1? Yeah you are persecuted Glenn Beck

You and your corporate string pullers. Gosh the poor rich, the poor corporations, the conservatives, the poor Christians. Fucking persecution complex. They can all go fuck themsleves sideways.
