I agree with you there. But, Mark is justifiably worried about the populism surrounding Beck. If Beck were content to be an educator of the young or politically ignorant in society, I would have no problem. But, Beck appears to hunger for more. When someone as unstable as Beck hungers for power, it worries me greatly.
Sums it up.

I posted this on another thread, but it applies here as well.
What scares me about this “pied piper” thing Beck has going is where does it stop? How soon before he is trying to influence people’s lives/thoughts outside of politics? How many are still going to follow him if he starts throwing in other ideas?
Cults of personality can be very dangerous.
