Will the Crazy Ever Be Satisfied? (GOP Edition)

Sometimes there's not enough Windex to clean the batshit off the windshield:
Common Core may not be a well-intentioned set of improved educational standards, as supporters would have you believe, but instead a trojan horse designed to turn every schoolchild in Florida, if not America, gay.
This ominous warning came at an anti-Common Core event in March courtesy of Florida State Rep. Charles Van Zant (R). Speaking at the “Operation Education Conference” in Orlando, Van Zant warned that officials implementing Common Core in Florida are “promoting as hard as they can any youth that is interested in the LGBT agenda.”
Their aim, Van Zant warned, was to “attract every one of your children to become as homosexual as they possibly can.” He then apologized to the crowd for having to be the bearer of bad news. “I really hate to bring you that news,” the Florida Republican said, “but you need to know.”
Now, of course Glenn Beck wouldn't be behind this:


Now, I know your first instincts are that Glenn Beck is out of his mind. But that's facile, I think, and a mighty fine line. In Beck's case it's a really, very, pretty, incredibly fine line. Okay, there's no line. Problem is, he does has viewers, and they aren't that good at distinguishing lines and stuff.
