Not all that long ago, Glenn Beck went on the air and suggested
that if we hadn't collectively done such a poor job of following
the Ten Commandments, then perhaps our angry and vengeful God
wouldn't have slaughtered the innocents in Japan, where a recent
tsunami had devastated large stretches of seacoast. "There's a
message being sent," he told us while his radio sidekicks laughed.
Many found his comments offensive. The Twitterverse was awash with
commentary on Beck's commentary, and Michael Charney wanted his
voice heard, too. An unusual experiment began, it's goal to
convince people that Beck wasn't what he seemed to be at all, but
was, instead, just an actor playing a part.... A Twitter persona
emerged--@BeckIsALib--and began to launch odd little ideas into the
virtual world: Glenn Beck is an actor. Glenn Beck believes in
global warming. Glenn Beck cares about animals and the environment.
And, most importantly: Glenn Beck--and others like him--are not us.
If we continue to let the loudest voices define us then we risk no
less than the loss of our truest visions for democracy: equality,
fairness through compromise and the right to be heard-and
represented.
