Beck's star crashed a long time ago. He majorly jumped the shark (for me) when he had his embarrassingly whiny "hemorrhoid breakdown" on the air. His radio show format has deviated and morphed into something that barely resembles what it used to be. I used to turn in for his wit and carefree banter but that's been lost for ages.

I also find it somewhat hypocritical of Beck to be criticizing 'birthers' as conspiracists when he spends half his time spouting weird end-of-the-economy/world conspiracies himself.

Indeed. It is as if he has arbitrarily singled out this eligibility conspiracy theory as being utterly preposterous, but any other conspiracy theory is perfectly reasonable to discuss.
