Here’s something to consider alongside today’s lead story. Nate Silver looks through some numbers and determines that Glenn Beck is not your average conservative rabblerouser like Rush Limbaugh. He isn’t hated by everyone on the left. Instead, he appeals to anti-establishment types, and is more or less disregarded otherwise.
In other words, Silver concludes, Beck is a postmodern conservative. I guess then he’d fit right in with these guys.
