Thread:Comments:Glenn Beck to hold controversial 'Restoring Honor' rally at Lincoln Memorial/Comments from feedback form - "Garbage doesn't deserve a plac..."/reply (5)

Indeed. Part of freedom of speech is that people are free to say stupid things. Glen Beck says a lot of stupid things. A lot of people listen to him. What's needed isn't vicious opposing rhetoric, but instead point-by-point rebuttals of everything people like Beck say. Not on a large scale (media), but rather on an individual scale. People don't immediately change their minds, but if you can plant a seed of logic in them it will gradually grow, and months or years later they will repeat your analysis back to you as if they had thought of it themselves. You'll never win an argument against Beck's supporters, but if you're calm and steadfast (and make logical statements instead of spewing polar-opposite-of-Beck ideological rhetoric), his supporters will ever so slowly erode away.

It's happened in the past to other people like Beck, and it will eventually happen to him as well... if enough people stand against him.
