"Who is this guy and why are people listening?. Forget Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, and Sean Hannity€"Glenn Beck is the Right€s new media darling and the unofficial leader of the conservative grassroots. Lampooned by the Left and Lionized by the far Right, his bluster-and-tears brand of political commentary has commandeered attention on both sides of the aisle. Glenn Beck has emerged over the last decade as a unique and bizarre conservative icon for the new century. He encourages his listeners to embrace a cynical paranoia that slides easily into a fantasyland filled with enemies that do no."@en
