Mike Huckabee & Glenn Beck are right-wing con artists: How conservative icons are stoking fear & getting filthy rich
"The American conservative movement seems to be more about making money than influencing society. But is it really surprising that a movement which embraces fear, nationalism, and credulity is full of con-artists? The conservative extremist is a perfect candidate for being ripped off, with all of his or her distraught emotions being commodified. Whether it be paranoia of the government or nostalgia for classic American culture, when someone is full of such emotional zeal, it is easy to open up their wallets, and what better place for it to happen than the consumption crazed United States of America."
