If you have to exaggerate to the point of outright lying to make your point, you really don't have much of a point. I don't see Beck often. But when I do, I always come away thinking how he is actually quite measured and bookish; and how criticism such as the above is more or less a fabrication.
I agree. Had he been able to point out specific examples of Beck that fit his criticisms he may have a point, but just spending a couple paragraphs insulting him accomplishes nothing.
