Like a lot of the hatred towards one guy is pretty frightening. I think it shows how much trouble the USA is in. Think about it.

Put it in another perspective.
If Glenn Beck was just a local Methodist Minister who was a little overzealous within his church....
If Sarah Palin was not known for her politics and was your neighbor and was rather a high school teacher and maybe even locally, outspoken for teachers....
The Tea Party represents to Liberals and Neocons a real threat. To the Libbies, the Tea Party threatens to take away the momentum of the ever growing federal Government... The money and their will being done with social issues. The Neocons are threatened by the Tea Party because of global expansion and the Federal Government is center of this success.
That's a lot of hate isn't it?
That hate has no where to go because it's aimed at an idea. But they are frustrated with it because that idea is old and sacred and can't be argued against, so the hate grows
They've tried to undermine it by calling names, renaming, and labeling (Teabagger, Racist), but they haven't stopped the expansion or the popularity of it.
Why? The group is leaderless. There is no head to cut off. If you cut the group in half (Ron Paulers and Dick Armies), they both continue to grow independently, but call themselves the Tea Party and still have the same core values.
Now, enter Sarah Palin and then Glenn Beck (at different times). They get all of the hate of millions of people focused onto them.
The hate for these people is so extreme that it becomes nonsensical.
What if that level of hate were focussed onto a local teacher or a local minister...
think about it.
