Well here, remember the good ole days when only a very few of us were warning about Beck - and were getting flamed for it: this is from the day of his CPAC speech when he was at the very height of his run and daring to say anything about him was so risky: http://www.americanthinker.com/2010/02/cpacs_odd_ending.html
Just like the ones who STILL think FOX is conservative, Beck appealed to them as a breath of fresh air. At the start, he was usually good, but rapidly (to me) turned stale far too many times. Soon, it was evident to those who chose to see, that it was all about Beck and Beck merchandise-all the time.
