Beck does go after anyone who isn't a conservative and the republican party elite, the GOP that I think Beck is referring to . . .

All he has to do is say that. But he doesn't.

Stop whining and fighting with Beck over petty trivia and prove him wrong with conservative action

Why not drop the characterizes of others comments? It really isn't productive. This isn't trivial at all. Rush and Levin certainly see where what Beck is doing can lead.

Mentioned it before but I will again. I do voter registration. The most difficult objection to overcome is the very idea Beck promotes day after day: both parties are responsible.

This is poison not because there isn't some truth in it. There is.

It is poison because it ignores the differences and gives no credit to conservatives who have been fending off RINOS and socialists for decades.

Many of those I try to get involved accept a total moral and political equivalency. I can say "Look the GOP candidate has a 95% rating from the American Conservative Union. The Democrat has a 5% rating. There is a huge difference".

It is like trying to reason with a zombie. They don't see it. Or they don't want to see it. They want to be above everyone else. They want to be pure and virginal and untainted. They know if they accept Beck's characterization of both parties, no one will criticize them.

Again, you have missed the obvious. "Know the enemy"

The very idea Beck is promoting is that PROGRESSIVES of BOTH parties are responsible for the trouble we find ourselves in. That is the case that you should be making with your registration efforts, while pointing out that you and the people you're campaigning for AREN'T progressive and why, that you are fighting the damned progressives of both parties. And why!

If we dismiss the notion of a third party, then Conservatives, especially the tea partiers, have one real choice to save the country: first save the Republican party.

You're wasting your time fighting Beck. You'd be better off embracing much of what he is telling people along what the tea partiers are saying. Beck is merely reminding voters about the greatness of who we Americans are and what we believe and why, while pointing out who and what the progressives are. Reagan did the same thing.

We Reagan Republicans remember that Reagan won with two landslides, set America back on the right track and made the world a better place. Even zombies can reason about what Republicans used to be. May the rino purge continue!

Brug, you are right on the money with the comment: all he has to do is say that. But he doesn’t.

In a nutshell, that was the point of my article.
BTW: Beck responded to me today on his show. I think he proved my point. Look for follow up piece tomorrow at American Thinker. In responding to me, Beck disavows third parties, admits there are many good Republicans, and calls the Republicans his party. Uh oh. I might have been onto something after all.

I respond to Beck’s own words from his Monday show....it will be FUN!!!
