Signs of our decline

When Bill O'Reilly emerges as a voice of reason on a Fox segment, then civilization as we knew it is surely doomed. Glen Beck's psychotic musings, seeking to excuse the killing spree by that guy in Alabama as "understandable" because you know, "conservatives just can't speak freely in this country anymore," was too much for even Fox's chief ranter to swallow.

Meanwhile, Beck doesn't just need to be taken off the air, he should be involuntarily commited to a facility for the criminally insane. It wasn't so long ago he was indulging in an on-air masturbatory fantasy about skinhead biker militias ruling the streets. The idiot is preaching wingnut anarchy on a regular basis and he's preaching this an audience that is comprised of maniacs like the Alabama psycho. They've arrested lefty protesters for less.
