Shouldn't we thank Glenn Beck for opening an online university?

Good to know that this is the demographic that GB is targeting.

well, at least that's good, the smart people can get the jobs that they want and enjoy.

It's the job of a political pundit to fill the heads of the American public with their viewpoints, but Glenn Beck takes that notion quite literally with his new online school, Beck University. The Fox News commentator, who took one class at Yale before dropping out, claimed on his radio show in June that the government uses school to indoctrinate people. "You're darn right we should abolish public schools," he said.

The academic program, which Beck says is a "unique academic experience bringing together experts in the fields of religion, American history and economics," will feature Faith 101, Hope 101 and Charity 101, taught by a handful of conservative commentators.

Do you think B.U. will one day be able to achieve an enrollment high enough to reach critical idiocy, and finally collapse into a black hole of stupid?

If so, will it be dense enough to rid humanity of the mind cancer that these assholes peddle?

I wonder what RationalWiki's going to think of this. Especially after their extensive critiques of Andy Schlafy's classes on Conservapedia.

Jesus Fistfucking Christ. I wouldn't trust such a snot-dangler to count his own fingers, let alone a bottle of Percocet.

Oh no, they wouldn't even trust him with Tylenol. No, he works in the Photo department. Probably whacking off to the peeping tom aspect of it.

Don't be jealous.. but Glenn Beck will be in Alaska on Sept 11th... what a damn patriot. He is ONLY charging around 65 a ticket, I think I payed 35 to see Elton John.

So I want to go. Any other Alaskans want to go?

I want to see "those" people who watch him. I want to study them like ants.

Does anyone take Beck seriously? Is he even a real person? I thought the Democrats created him to permanently discredit the republican party.
