The book&rsquo;s plot centers around an evil person who attempts to stage a coup on the United States government, and his son, who attempts to stage a coup...<\/p><p>Beck also refuted the Post&rsquo;s claim that the book is &ldquo;dangerous&rdquo; because readers might confuse his conspiratorial ramblings for fact. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s weird how many people read The Washington Post and take your fiction as fact,&rdquo; he said.<\/p><\/blockquote><p>From <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mediaite.com\/print\/the-overton-window-a-400-word-review-part-3\/\">Mediate<\/a>, \"The Overton Window; a review\":<\/p><blockquote><p>Our protagonist is Noah Gardner, a privileged, cocky New Yorker with a cynical and vast knowledge of &ldquo;truth&rdquo; and a megalomaniac PR guru father. His love interest is Molly Ross, a headstrong, staunch anti-government activist libertarian who hates smoking and can deftly handle a firearm (who is not what she seems). <\/p><\/blockquote><p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/2010\/06\/11\/glenn-becks-soon-to-be-be_n_608720.html\">Huffington Post<\/a>, \"Glenn Beck's Soon-To-Be-Bestseller, The Overton Window: Paranoid Political Fiction\": <\/p><blockquote><p>It appears as though Glenn Beck is making the leap from bestselling author of paranoid political opinion to bestselling author of paranoid political fiction. That's right, he's about to release a new book Kevin Grisham-esque thriller called The Overton Window, after a political theory popular amongst libertarians about the shifting range of what is considered acceptable political policy.<\/p><\/blockquote><div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/tracker\/7828681836623105417-2525590440498167660?l=www.libertarianrepublican.net\" alt=\"\" style=\"padding-left:10px; padding-right: 10px;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Glenn Beck's just released thriller The Overton Window, is being both praised and criticized as a libertarian-themed tome.
