Glenn Beck's TV show will be pulled

Fox announced today that Beck will "transition off of his daily program" later this year.

His radio show wasn't mentioned, so he'll probably still have that. Regardless, this is still a huge victory for truth and rationality. Shame on Fox for giving an outlet to conspiracy theorists and sensationalist lies. If you listen to the regular conservative voices like Hannity or O'Reilly, I'm still going to think you're a bit of an idiot. But people like Limbaugh and Beck go way beyond the pale. They are pure propagandists, and I'm not going to respect your opinion if you take them seriously.

But part of me is still going to miss him a little. As horrifying as his ideas are, you can't help but sit back and laugh at how fucking dumb he is. We'll miss you, Glenn. Here's his greatest hits.

  • Glenn Beck says Japan deserved the earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear disaster because God is punishing them



  • Glenn Beck asks a Muslim Congressmen to prove he's not a terrorist



  • Glenn Beck calls the president a "racist" with "a deep-seeded hatred for white people" and "white culture."



  • Glenn Beck rapes the memory of Thomas Paine

As a lover of revolutionary American history, this, above everything else, has pissed me off the most. Beck got a guy to dress up and pretend to be Thomas Paine. But instead of reciting Paine's anti-nationalist, anti-religious, proto-socialist views, this asshole portrayed Paine as a xenophobic neocon who agreed with Glenn Beck on everything.



  • Glenn Beck literally inspires terrorism
