Glenn Beck’s Latest Irrational Fear: Vegetarians

glenn_beck_48Fox News entertainer Glenn Beck has made a career for himself by being afraid of things and convincing his viewers that they need to be afraid too. Just to recap: Beck thinks Al Gore is creating “Hitler Youth” and that you should be very scared of (former) green jobs guru Van Jones; Beck also referred to “The Story of Stuff” as left-wing propaganda and likened the climate bill to a watermelon: ‘Green on the outside and communist red on the inside.’ And that’s just a sampling of the enviro stuff.

Now Mr. Beck claims that Copenhagen “could mean the end of U.S. sovereignty.” Beck cited UK climate chief Lord Stern who suggested that eating less meat would go a long way toward reducing GHG emissions. Beck noted that a Baltimore school district has gone to ‘Meatless Mondays’ in their cafeteria, which in his world, is just downright un-American. Beck then promised, “My last meal will be a giant steak.” A sentiment that lots of people–Beck fans and otherwise–could get behind. Watch it:

    Glenn (@2:45 in the video) sarcastically says “Don’t change peoples minds, just scare them.”

    I love it when Glenn uses irony.

  2. Especially when he doesn’t even know he’s doing it.
