I used to love to listen to Beck. I almost went to his Restoring Honor rally in D.C. in 2010 but couldn’t make it.
Shortly thereafter that he started going off the deep end. I haven’t bothered to listen to him for a couple of years now. I fully expect him to come out in support of Hillary next year.
Think we’re on the same page. His 5pm show was must see TV for a while. I remember leaving work early just to watch it.
And I feel he played a significant role in helping the Tea Party gain a foothold. He also did magnificent work, outing the progressive network within our political system with his chalk board.
But some time after the Restore rally he started believing his own press releases and sounded more and more like a TV preacher. He became agitated if anyone else got the spotlight. Politicians who didn’t appear on his show were smeared.
The world was ending unless we bought this book or this insurance plan or this gold or these seeds. He became way too out there for my liking.
I hadn’t listened to him in about 4 years, and so when I saw the story about him calling the Tea Party and Trump supporters racist, it did not surprise me.
Nor does this story. But it’s very sad to see. He really could have been a major mainstream voice in the conservative movement for years to come (I think he’s only 50). Now he’s just a side show, a fringe kook in the mold of Alex Jones.
You Sick Twisted Freak LOL
