Glenn Beck's 'demagoguery' threatening Republican party, says veteran GOP lawmaker - CSMonitor.com
Veteran GOP lawmaker South Carolina Rep. Bob Inglis has stated that he thinks that Glenn Beck is threatening the GOP's creditability, and basically call the stuff he says propaganda.
He also put it that he is dividing the country to the point that we aren't focusing what really matters.
I think this is what he, and other pundits do actually is play on peoples fear. It will be the fear that tears this country apart
So I am not sure I put this in the right forum, so Mods Please move this if need be.

There were no death panels in the bill ... and to encourage that kind of fear is just the lowest form of political leadership. It's not leadership. It's demagoguery," said Inglis, one of three Republican incumbents who have lost their seats in Congress to primary and state party convention challengers this year.
Inglis said voters eventually will discover that you're "preying on their fears" and turn away.
"I think we have a lot of leaders that are following those (television and talk radio) personalities and not leading," he said. "What it takes to lead is to say, 'You know, that's just not right.'"
