In the first few minutes, Couric asks him about his party affiliation (he leans libertarian), and he starts his answer by saying that when he was younger, he was socially liberal, but that he was also an alcoholic. When he got sober, he realized that liberalism was really not all it was cracked up to be. Couric didn't like that at all, but Beck just does an aw-shucks and gets out of it. It is a great.

“What party does he belong to?” Does Kurick ask other interviewees that same question?
New name for Katie Couric: Perky Pig
Beck should have asked her.. I lean libertarian.. are YOU A SOCIALIST?...
Thanks for posting it. I’m watching, but what’s the deal with his jacket?
Katie clearly thinks it is reasonable to ask Beck for his political affiliation, but I would imagine that she would be offended if anyone asked her the same question -- she's a journalist! That means she's objective and impartial!
He lacks the courage of his convictions...there is some behavior that liberals embrace the deserves to be condemned and forbidden by the government. Libertarianism as he practices it is nothing but a moral cop-out.
He’s effective and that has enraged the liberals in ways I never expected.
a buddy of mine born and reaised near Springfield Mass, (now in his early 40s) says he used to be a liberal..until he got a job.
After what this man has become over the past several months, who continues to stand up and state his beliefs in the face of all the criticism, you can say he lacks courage? Are you for real?
He’s hated by liberals and RINOs alike. What’s that say? LOL
“behavior that liberals embrace the deserves to be condemned and forbidden by the government”
please elaborate, which would you name as the top three?
Abortion would be one, no?
Who continues to read a script and expect a large check for it..
That’s my fundamental test of policy and people - who lines up with them and who lines up against them. It almost always tells you everything you need to know.
Didn’t watch the interview, eh?
You got that right! If they ever show one again, watch a Libertarian Convention sometime on CSPAN (I did) - it shows you what the Libertarian movement is about...very interesting...and explains Ron Paul....
agreed. Abortion should NEVER be legal, not even to ‘save the mother’
Loosely paraphrasing Churchill: “If you were not a liberal when young, you have no heart - if you are not a conservative in adulthood, you have NO BRAIN!!!” Cheers...
