I liked him but found him odd on the radio.

Then on TV he was ok till he started acting like South bashers here.

Beck simply is dishonest in his portrayal of history to suit himself at times...he is truthful more than not don’t get me wrong but he just plays like a revival preacher a bit skirting inconvenient truths

I’m sorry the Tea party has latched onto him or vice versa.

I bought his Common Sense and Arguing with Idiots...they are ok but simplified like Cliff Notes which is how he views his version of history

He is just plain wrong on King...period.

And he conveniently ignores how most conservatives of the day actually viewed the Civil Rights activists he so adores now...folks like Magnus and Goldwater and WFB etc

His bashing of Wilson is appropriate but his treatment of Teddy and to a lesser degree Taft is weird and he worships the Radical GOP of the 1860s...who were sorta responsible to some degree with the Leviathan we live with today

this is where he sounds like some freepers

they can have him

IMO, it seems the difference in Beck of yesteryear’s radio and Beck of FauxToday is simply that he was successful in getting recruited by Faux and they, of course, placed some restrictions on him for their own purposes—these restrictions were no problem to beck, apparently.

I calls ‘em as I sees ‘em...

After further consideration Beck is simply a tool of the GOP for at least this election cycle. White women are the swing vote, and Beck’s cult exists to capture them for the GOP. The Left is not very “nice” these days since their “nice” attractive white women front pieces are largely hidden and people who remind the “nice” women of the people who terrorized their parents neighborhoods and lives are front and center.

but his treatment of Teddy and to a lesser degree Taft is weird

weird? TR was a progressive. Beck rails against all progressives and more and more I agree with him. McCain is a self-professed TR Republican and he IS a progressive, too... I think it would be best to call a spade a spade and you are either a conservative or a progressive and forget the D and R stuff. You never miss an opportunity to bash Beck, BTW....
