Glenn Beck received the key to his hometown of Mount Vernon, Wash. Saturday at a ceremony that drew about 800 protesters, according to the spokeswoman for the town's fire department.
It's unclear how may protesters were there to support the Fox News commentator or demonstrate against him. The Skagit Valley Herald reports that there were twice as many people protesting against Beck than supporting him, while The Seattle Times reports that it was more evenly split.

A plane circled the event overhead, with a banner reading, "Change the locks," according to The Skagit Valley Herald:
Among the protesters was Bellingham resident Minnie Pollett, who drove to Mount Vernon with about a dozen others... She said she wanted to protest because she resents Beck's presence here."I believe in our Democracy. I believe in tolerance and President Obama, and the positive power to make a difference -- not this," Pollett said.

I don't blame these folks, I would not want to be associated with Beck in any way shape or form.
Seriously Beck, Weasel, Falafel they are so extreme, angry, vial, prejudice, one sided,...these far rights are so far out there that conservatives see the writing on the wall, that the Limbaugh's, Coutlers, etc are going to be their doing in. And that means sell your Fox stock when this happens because if they don't get somewhere towards the middle (and they have so far to go) but they are going to be a has been network.
Greta and all the rest will be out of work.
