Glenn Beck stimulates discussion. Your disdain for him is misplaced because he doesn't fulfill your need for him to lead you.
your diagnosis is wrong
here is another reason - becktardz are rude
My disdain for him is because he is irresponsible.
He does not fulfill his responsibility that he is a leader.
Every time somebody speaks up, a percentage of people will see them as a leader.
Beck is about Beck and any airy whim or thought that goes through his head falls out of his mouth, and since he is given such a platform, many believe and try to follow his every word.
