Beck is the scariest human being I have witnessed in recent memory. He scares me more than Hannity, O'Reilly, Ingrahm and Coulter put together and that's a scary 4-headed beast!
There have been hundreds, if not thousands of Glen Beck diaries here on kos. We know he has been rewriting history for those who didn't pay attention in junior high school. We know he has been ginning up hatred for Muslims. His martyr complex is well documented. But this is what scares me the most: He has also been rewriting previously acceptable religious teachings into something sinister and his latest attempt to corner the market on Christianity/Politics via his rallies scares me to death.
His 8/28 rally promises (via media matters):
"Literally, expect to see miracles. Great, powerful miracles are coming."
The religious imagery and dogwhistles are instantly recognizeable. I'm a preacher's kid so am more sensitive to this than most. My mother is all caught up in the cult of Beck. On other things she is a reasonable human being, but has a blind spot since he professes a link to God.
I don't know of a good way to stop this charlatan. Anything said against him easily is turned into a religious war. Only exposing him for the pretender that he is on a national stage will do any good. His mixture of Mormonism and Christianity is mind boggling.
To proclaim that miracles are happening on a certain day BECAUSE OF HIM strikes me as being more than a little messianic.
With his ego, he'd expect Jesus to follow him.
