This is so painful to watch. I found it helped to think of him as Colbert, if I pretend like this the idiocy becomes a smart satire.

I thought that Jeff Foxworthy had a show about kids knowing more than adults...

Glenn Beck is annoying. Someone put a sock in his mouth.

Glenn Beck is nothing more than a fucking fear mongering asshole and should be dragged through the streets while onlookers beat him to death as he passes by. Him and Bill "loofah" O'Reilly.

Meh, I don't really think that's video game blasphemy. I think it's a safe bet a 12 year old kid knows Guitar Hero better than their parent.

But yea the rest was completely flawed logic. I think brainwashing German kids to become Nazis is a little more scary than brainwashing kids to drive a hybrid car.

This is the most idiotic thing I've heard in a while, and thats impressive considering the amount of stupidity I'm faced with on a daily basis. Glenn starts off acting like a crybaby because he took a quote from Gore that was obviously out of context, and made it seem like a personal attack. After that, he just becomes completely nonsensical. Glenn tries to then go into describing some post-apocalyptic scenario. But no, the stupidity doesn't stop there. He then quotes Joseph Goebbels, and tries to make it seem like there's a connection with him talking at a global warming conference and nazi youth. The ironic part, however, is that the quote he used seems to mirror our own education system, and not what Gore was doing. In summary, Glenn Beck is just a fucking idiot. End of story.

That gives a new meaning to paranoid .

This is the right wing in a nutshell - take one innocuous phrase (seriously, how evil is it to tell kids to not implicitly trust 100 percent of the assumptions their generation or their parents' has lived with? Heck, who honestly thinks that kids would stop questioning anything if we just stopped putting the idea in their heads?) and attach it, without the least bit of hesitation or rational thought, to Hitler, Socialism, or both. Seriously, conservatives are starting to look more and more like an irate Basil Fawlty - "This is EXACTLY how Nazi Germany started!!"

Whether you agree with Gore or not, this is just plain stupid.

Ugh, this exemplifies so much of what is wrong with the way the US sees education and youth these days. "Kids can't possibly understand things us big important adults haven't already known for years. Computers? Those are just an excuse to play The Guitar Hero and Mario Guy on. We adults know what's right about any and everything, just let us handle it all." Pompous bastard.

I'll be one of the first to say that I don't like Al Gore. However, Beck is really twisting what Gore more than likely meant, which is that a lot of young people(not all) have more common sense than their parents. Part of it being that young people are more open to other ideas and as you get older you're pretty much set in your ways.
