Freshman class dropouts are those informed solely by Beck

Mark Levin writes books, freshmen cannot read.

My father was a self-taught man. (He'd celebrate his 100th birthday this year if he were still alive.) He didn't even finish high school but managed to live a good and decent life, be moderately successful in the working world, and help my mother raise nine children. He was loved by many.

Glenn Beck is also self-taught; he finished only one semester of college. So what if Mark Levin is supposedly "smarter" than Glenn Beck because he has a degree and writes a different sort of book? Glenn manages to capture the interest of people who wouldn't otherwise give a hoot about politics or who think they are "too dumb" to understand it and thus feel helpless.

A hard life of poor choices can be one's greatest teacher. If Levin wants to put himself up there on the same snob level as Barack 0bama and pretend that Glenn Beck doesn't have a clue, fine. If you want to do that too, go right ahead. It's not going to change my mind. I like both Levin and Beck and learn something from each of them.

I’m with you, arasina.
People who criticize Beck, come off snobbish. Beck does Beck very well. He is out there telling Americans, “Wake up, you’re being hoodwinked.” And they’re listening, and getting the point. I couldn’t care less if he’s ADD, Mormon, alcoholic, or incapable of raising the dead. He is advancing a cause dear to my heart: waking up Americans.
I like Levin too, though I think he’s slightly overrated around here. His latest book — or shall I say oeuvre? — served an excellent purpose, and that’s admirable, but celestial revelation it was not. More like Polonius, only longer.
Likewise Bill Bennett. Fine fellow. Does not walk on water.
When these guys fire on each other, they fall in my estimation.
