In A Nutjob

On his show, Glenn Beck runs a little conspiracy-theory-meets-Kevin-Bacon-game segment called "In a Nutshell" in which he loosely connects people via common organizations. Usually this means connecting minorities to ACORN -- you know, the group which the far-right is painting as the KKK for brown people. Here, for instance, Beck connects Sonia Sotomayor with ACORN.

Well I can connect Glenn Beck with ACORN, too. Glenn Beck hosts a radio show on Premiere Radio Networks. Premiere Radio also carries a show by Jesse Jackson. And you know what that means... ACORN helped Jesse Jackson win 30 delegates at the 1988 Democratic Convention. Glenn Beck: guilty!

How about this one. I can also connect Glenn Beck with the death of a little dog named Snuggles. Glenn Beck's radio show is carried by Premiere Radio Networks. The network also carries On Air with Ryan Seacrest. Ryan Seacrest took over hosting the American Top 40 which was previously hosted by (Lebanese evildoer) Casey Kasem. And Casey Kasem once freaked out while broadcasting a story about the death of a little dog named Snuggles. Is Glenn Beck responsible for the death of Snuggles? You decide. As for me, I say -- Glenn Beck: guilty!

Kasem audio below (NSFW). Why won't Glenn Beck come clean about Snuggles?
