Glenn Beck may quit FOX and start his own channel

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/23/business/media/23beck.html?_r=1

I have a suggestion for the name of Beck's new venture: The HATE Channel, since that is all he spreads in his diatribes.  One thing Beck has done is separate out those who are easily stirred to hatred for others.  They will follow him, wherever he goes.  The Tea Party fanatics will be among them. 

I can imagine his stable of "stars":  Sarah Palin (if he can pay her the millions she now gets from FOX), Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity, Joseph Farah, Charles Krauthammer, Christine O'Donnell, Sharron Angle, Michele Bachmann, and Joe the Plumber.  Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly will not be interested, as they couldn't possibly sublimate their own egos enough to work under Top Dog Beck.

It will be a favorite channel for Ku Klux Klanners, White supremacists, neo-Nazis, born-again "Christians" of a certain Southern flavor, and "Compassionate Conservatives" (of the Cheney/Bush type) everywhere.  I can imagine the lineup of shows: Pollute the Planet, How to Survive a Black (ugh) President, Torture Can Be Fun Reality Show, Nuke 'Em! military show, starring Jon Voight and Ron Silver, Meet Your Favorite Supreme Court Justice, starring Antonin Scalia, John Roberts, Sam Alito and good ol' pubic-hair-on-the-Coke-can Clarence Thomas, No Taxes for Millionaires, Thanks to YOU! (featuring the lifestyles of Wall Street barons, corporate CEOS and greedy politicians), and cooking shows like Feeding Your Family on Road Kill.

Oh yes, a remarkable lineup, especially dedicated to all non-thinkers who like to be motivated by fear and vote against their own interests.
