Why degrade his choice of Faith or blame a greed for the money he earns? We know all those whose rating numbers suffer because of him, hate him and hate as well, the 'light of day' he drags them into.
(Personally, think his 'Libertarianism' wittingly or unwittingly too often feeds 'third Party MO's - and that bothers me. And then there is is too often, damning equivacations between Repubs and Democrats. His spiritual proselytizing bothers me as well. Other than that; appreciate his messaging 'many'.)
One thing for sure, Glenn is not the Sandman. . .he is trying to clean up after him, however.
Since I didn't mention any particular theory of Mr. Beck's, you have no basis for assuming what I do or do not dismiss as conspiracy or spurious.
Why degrade his choice of Faith ...
Please don't accuse me, ipso facto, of degrading his faith when I have not done so. I merely observed a fact of life in America that his faith is a hurdle an obstacle. The intellectual basis for Mormonism has been viewed with great negativity since Joseph Smith founded his Church in 1830. Adherents always have to overcome, what seems to many others to be, an inability to use good judgement when evaluating a religious hypothesis. Many believe, that intrinsic lack of judgement may affect judgement in more terrestrial matters, as well. I have not said I agree or disagree with this analysis. I only observe that a challenge exists.
...or blame a greed for the money he earns...
Nowhere did I say Mr. Beck had a "GREED for the money he earns". Anyone who provides a product or service that others want to pay for should be able to do so and enjoy the blessings of that endeavor to whatever level of achievement he/she desires; as long as it's moral, legal, ethical, and honest. I do not infer that Mr. Beck is 'greedy'. Only that for him, the accumulation of wealth may be a stronger motivation than the promotion of conservative or rational ideas. This is often the case for those new to wealth and who have acquired it quickly as has Mr. Beck. There is nothing intrinsically wrong with that. Personally, I just like to be aware of it so that I may make better judgements as to the possible motives of thought leaders and whether its wise for me to follow them.
Mr. Beck is often self described as ADHD. The thought processes of individuals so afflicted can often lurch into the radical. Their speech and behavior are often unpredictable. People with this disorder can be very entertaining.
A few days ago I posted:
I like Beck, too but purely for the entertainment value. I don't take him too seriously as an influencer of my opinion. He's more like an outrageously whacky cousin with whom I often agree and who always makes me laugh.
I stand by that statement.
