Why do some Democrats hate Glen Beck?

He doesn't really seem to adhere to a political party. He just claims to be conservative and seems to be patriotic. If you could explain your dislike I would appreciate it.

Update:

Nano Nano. I am not a cult member of any sort and only listen to Glen Beck a few times a month. I have read a bunch of hateful comments here and on Media Matters and was curious if anyone could explain their reason for disliking the man to that extent.

    I saw a few minutes of his show once. That was enough for me.

    I fail to see how he's any different than the commentators on RT News. Just laughably stupid.

    They obviously feel threatened by him. They can't point to much that he actually does that is crazy. They just don't like his beliefs. Since when do political and religious beliefs practiced peacefully by a self supporting person define them as crazy? It doesn't in our society but a person that thinks it does is at the very least wrong and in some cases obviously obsessively compulsive.

    He's a crazy conspiracy theorist who thrives on scaring his viewers from the "Liberal Socialist Marxist Communists!"

    He is nuttier than squirrel s**t!! You consider a patriot a person who says to shoot opposition in the head before they have a chance to shoot you?

    No explanation will be provided. They merely call him crazy and a conspiracy theorist---but provide zero to back up that accusation. The politicians with the most power use this "me too" strategy to get their loyal followers to automatically call out these accusations to remain with the so-called in crowd. Look, it works. It's like protesting in Wisconsin but not knowing why--it just "seems cool".

    *Come on guys--at least TRY to point out something. Don't prove my point.

    You don't have to be a democrat to hate Glenn Beck. You just have to abhor the flaccid yet absurd, bespectacled buffoon for his disregard for logic or consistency.

  • He's a conspiracy theorist and a distorter of facts.

    I'm inclined to be against conspiracy theorists no matter what their political inclination.

    He lives in a very scary and loony place, and those who listen to him are listening to the ramblings of a mad man.
