Beck is a commentator and has done this nation a tremendous service, especially in the past 12 months. Media figures are not movement leaders. His role is to attract an audience and he has chosen to do that by researching the heck out whast is going in with Washginton and the economic course we are on.

I do not listen or watch Beck all the time, but I tune in on a somewhat regular basis, and it is rare to hear someone on TV or radio who reflects the thinking of so many in the nation. He is essentially one of our time’s best investigative reporters, seeking out the facts behind the story normally put out by politicians and media.

He didn’t ask to lead a movement. Not sure why you have placed him in that role.

One thing I would give him high marks on is being able to attract demographics not yet reached by Limbaugh, Levin, Hannity and the rest - and that would be women, and moderate minorities, and even some young adults.

But what good will that do when he gets them so upset at both Parties that come November 2010 and 2012 they vote Third Party?

Because i go to my local Republican Party meetings, and everybody says, progressive, progressive, hitler, hitler, mussilini, ron paul--like a bunch of robots.

Some people are thrust into a leadership position by the number of followers and the readiness of the followers to do anything he says

A person CANNOT deny leadership responsibility without total chaos.

I disagree that Beck has not put himself in a position to lead a movement. I watch Beck regularly and believe he has made big contributions to understanding who are undermining our constitutional form of government. However, today he did a mumble-jumble act that the best I could make out was that ‘birthers are as dangerous and crazy as the commies he has been chasing and certainly do not belong in his grouping of constitutionalists. I consider myself a constitutionalist from my pre-WWII grade school education. I also consider myself as a ‘birther’ more atuned to strict reading of constitutional eligibility than to trying to get BHO to release documents proving his eligibility. Beck, BOR and others on FOX try to get us into their fold but instead end up, I think intentionally, denigrating us. WHY? He should go back to exposing subversives instead of preaching what is needed to be his kind of consttutionalist. WHY NOT?
