Of course Beck’s show is a parody, but it is well done: he plays a far rightwing nut job so well he fools plenty of people in his audience into thinking it is the real thing, the same crowd that thinks championship rassling is real. In this segment from last January, he freaks out over the coming Singularity, and tells what a horror it is.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://www.glennbeck.com/2013/01/18/glenn-the-government-cannot-stop-the-exponential-growth-of-technology/">http://www.glennbeck.com/2013/01/18/glenn-the-government-cannot-stop-the-exponential-growth-of-technology/</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>spike<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></div></div></body></html>
