THESIS: When Glenn Beck used the word "eradicate" in his CPAC speech, he meant it literally
GLENN BECK'S 'GREAT DESIRE': To kill progressives
GLENN BECK'S GREAT SERVICE TO LIBERALS: Finally admitting this
OTHER PEOPLE BECK AND THE CONSERVATIVES WANT TO KILL: Anyone with whom they disagree, "anyone [...] who value[s] 'community'"
RELEVANCE OF GLENN BECK'S COMPLEXION: An excuse for Sirota to work in the adjective "porcine"
WHAT GLENN BECK LOOKS LIKE, ASIDE FROM A PIG: A rodeo clown
TO BE MORE SPECIFIC:
