Y'know, as a Glenn Beck viewer, I can say that I don't see him as a hate-monger. I see him as being very conservative. He doesn't support homosexuality because of his religious beliefs, but he hasn't actively spoken against it on his show, either. He supports religious freedom as long as giving you the ability to practice your beliefs doesn't infringe on the rights of others. Pretty reasonable. The only major flaw that I see is he gets angry because they won't have Baby Jesus in the town square at Christmas time, but he doesn't think that universities should use tax payer funds to put in Muslim footbaths. (I, personally, feel that if they do one, they should do the other. *shrugs*)
A lot of his "hate speech" is cherry picked from something that he says in sarcasm. Like the "Obama is the antiChrist" thing. Not what he said, but what some blogs have published him as saying it. I say this because I heard his original question, and then saw what Media Matters published.
However, the rest of your hate mongers, I agree are definitely of the suck.
