In South Carolina, Glenn Beck Draws an Adoring Crowd
By Mary C. Curtis - Politics DailyCOLUMBIA, S.C. -- "Can I just tell you guys something? Being here 10 minutes, it's so great to be out of New York." Glenn Beck knows how to work a South Carolina crowd, but he really didn't have to do anything but show up.

By David Corn - Politics DailyOn Tuesday morning I accidentally had the chance to listen to Chris Plante, a Rush-wannabe radio talk-show host who appears on a D.C. station.

Because, as his Web site noted, Democrats and liberals have been "trying desperately to convince America" that Nidal Hasan, the presumed shooter, was "just a crazy guy who spent too much time around deployed soldiers ...
