　　Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank takes a fair and

balanced look at the unsettling rise of the silly Fox News host

Glenn Beck.

Thomas Jefferson famously wrote that “the tree of Liberty must be

refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

It is its natural manure.” In America in 2010, Glenn Beck provides

the very refreshment Jefferson had in mind: Whether he’s the

patriot or the tyrant, he’s definitely full of manure.

The wildly popular Fox News host with three million daily viewers

perfectly captures the vitriol of our time and the fact-free state

of our political culture. The secret to his success is his

willingness to traffic in the fringe conspiracies and Internet

hearsay that others wouldn’t touch with a ten-foot pole: death

panels, government health insurance for dogs, FEMA concen?tration

camps, an Obama security force like Hitler’s SS.

But Beck, who is, according to a recent Gallup poll, admired by

more Americans than the Pope, has nothing in his background that

identifies him as an ideologue, giving rise to the speculation that

his right-wing shtick is just that—the act of a brilliant showman,

known for both his over-the-top daily out?rages and for weeping on

the air.

Milbank describes, with lacerating wit, just how the former shock

jock without a college degree has managed to become the most

recognizable leader of antigovernment conservatives and exposes him

as the guy who is single-handedly giving patri?otism a bad

name.
