It's Thursday, so Howie Klein is here from Down with Tyranny and the Blue America PAC. Today, one of the congressional candidates they've endorsed -- Eric Wilson from Wisconsin!

That Bill Cosby walked out of prison today, his conviction overturned, is proof that we're in opposite world.

On today's show, we'll look at what Glenn Beck delivered, and what he didn't, with a guy who's been studying the would-be messiah and his ilk for a while now. Will Bunch, a senior write at the Philadelphia Daily News (also the man behind their Attytood blog), and a senior fellow at Media Matters for America, has spent the last couple of years visiting the strongholds of the RWNJs in America, trying to figure [...]
