Beyond the Book: Glenn Beck and the Paranoid Style

This blog is singularly focused on logically deconstructing Arguing with Idiots. However, I will occasionally come across an outside piece — a blog post, an article, a video — that casts light on the endeavor. I will post them here.

Simon Maloy of Media Matters has just posted a thorough article on Glenn Beck’s use of paranoid rhetoric as a tool of persuasion. It’s an excellent piece, we’ll see a lot of what he is talking about pop up as I delve further into AwI.

Go read it: Glenn Beck and the Paranoid Style. I am closing comments for this post to encourage you to comment there.
