As for Glen Beck, he's just a classic "paid troublemaker." He makes his living from stirring things up, NOT from getting things right (he'd be broke if he did!). He's just as happy to be pilloried, as he is to be praised, because BOTH things mean his show is being watched, his advertisers are therefore happy, and he will continue to enrich himself .
As for the use of Darwin's theories by racists, it doesn't really mean anything. People with an axe to grind will see support for their nonsense in all kinds of places. Racism was around, like "forever," whereas Darwinism has only been around less than 200 years. Racists use the Bible, Darwin, prison statistics, movie fantasies, commercials, you name it, to support their calculations. Better to say they will MISUSE these things.
Is it possible to SLANDER a dead person? I think by definition that someone has to be capable of being HARMED, to call it slander. I could be wrong about that.
