Beck, not too long ago, declared that none other than God had chosen him to deliver a Divine message to the masses. And since Beck’s message for you is coming straight from God, you will want to be extra-sure that you understand it.

Lucky you. It just so happens that Beck has set up an online university for those who are students of his Divinely-inspired messages of hatred, racism, sedition, and selfishness. Students who graduate with honors will no doubt form Beck’s very own SchutzStaffel.

What are you waiting for? ACHTUNG!

This is  something called Beck University that was officially announced today by the king of all distorted right-wing media, although judging from the initial info its formal accreditation as one of America’s institutions of higher learning may be a few years away (and there’s no truth to the rumor that the Pac-10 immediately asked Beck U. to become a member):

From Beck’s web site:

This July, while others are relaxing poolside, head back to the classroom – from the comfort of your own home. That may sound like an oxymoron but Glenn’s new academic program is only available online.

Offered exclusively to Insider Extreme subscribers, Beck University is a unique academic experience bringing together experts in the fields of religion, American history and economics. Through captivating lectures and interactive online discussions, these experts will explore the concepts of Faith, Hope and Charity and show you how they influence America’s past, her present and most importantly her future.

I guess you could call this “the Harvard of right-wing radio universities,” in the sense that, well, to my knowledge there aren’t any other right-wing radio universities. Unlike Harvard or Yale, where Beck was a half-term (sound familiar?) student in one theology course after his ex-friend Joe Lieberman pulled some strings, Beck U. is strictly a profit deal. Only by paying Glenn Beck Inc. to become an extreme insider ($9.95 a month, or $74.95) can you enroll on Beck’s pseudo-cyber-campus. How else do you think Beck expects to sell that $4.25 million manse and move into bigger digs?

I have long suspected that Herr Beck is a walking joke, a huckster that is laughing real hard at all the idiots who believe whatever outrageous bullshit he decides to make up on any given day. I am more convinced of that than ever.

Beck’s in it for the kicks and the cash, and nothing more. It is stunning that he can find so many idiots willing to part with their cash, but you can bet your last dollar that this will be a successful venture.
