Glen Beck fancies himself the new Thomas E. Watson

You may not remember that name if you are not from the south, but Thomas E. Watson was a leader in resurrecting the Ku Klux Klan following World War I. Now the NY Times informs us that the Beckerhead, having had some success with his Teabaggies, wants to go out and be a political organizer.
Glenn Beck, the popular and outspoken Fox News host, says he wants to go beyond broadcasting his opinions and start rallying his political base — formerly known as his audience — to take action.

To do so, Mr. Beck is styling himself as a political organizer. In an interview, he said he would promote voter registration drives and sponsor a series of seven conventions across the country featuring what he described as libertarian speakers.

On Saturday he held a festive campaign-style rally in The Villages in Florida, north of Orlando, in which he promoted his recently released book, “Arguing With Idiots,” and announced another book to come next August filled with right-leaning policy proposals gathered from the conventions.
Given Mr. Beck's well known disdain, and even hatred for the Constitution and the values that created this great country one can only imagine with horror what manner of murderous organization he plans to create.
