Really, Glenn?
I like Glenn Beck a lot, Save Jerseyans. I really do. His radio show is a hoot. And when Governor Chris Christie does stuff like sign on to a DREAM Act compromise, my inner Ted Cruz stirs for a few days after the fact. But we’re never, ever going to win big elections again if we constantly blast our own team until they’re radioactive and unelectable.
Criticize the guy on the substance. Absolutely. Sometime he deserves it. Calling him a “fat nightmare” when there’s a decent chance you may have to vote for him three years down the road in a general election? Not good…
Conservative cannibalism at Christmas. Not very appetizing…
And for the record, while the Governor and I don’t always agree on the environmental front, he openly mocked “liberal public radio” types who blamed Hurricane Sandy on global warming and pulled New Jersey out of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI). Not exactly a radical, especially by Northeastern standards!
You need a picture of Beck with his tin-foil hat on.

What part of what Beck said is wrong? Pseudo-conservatives like Christie, Boehner, and McConnell are establishment shills that constantly pick fights with the Conservative base, while bending over backwards to make nice with the Democrats. How many times do these country club hacks have to stab us in the back before we wake up?
