What the radical right is doing right now in America is just plain wrong. They've launched a scorched-earth crusade against the President and his agenda. Their aim is not just to express their disagreement, but to defeat him by dragging the democratic process and our country through the mud. Fox TV's Glenn Beck is one of the loudest and most offensive of their crusaders.
Here's a small but important way to take a stand. Today the Michigan Chamber of Commerce is paying Glenn Beck $25,000 to deliver a speech in East Lansing to Michigan businesses. Especially given our state’s huge unemployment challenges, it is offensive that Michigan’s biggest business lobby is spending money to host Fox TV's craziest, most inflammatory host and most egregious fear peddler.
It's time to stand up and renounce the politics of hatred, lies, and paranoia. It is not a time to honor them. Glenn Beck is bad for our state, bad for our country, and we don't believe any public entity should be honoring him with a check for a hate speech.
