I like Beck, but he’s basically crazy.

As the song says “I’ve always been crazy but it’s kept me from going insane”. Beck may be crazy but he’s right.

beck works to elect rats......this constant diatribe against pubs is getting old...

I think he only does so he can claim he's "nonpartisan" in front of the FCC....

idiot....

pubs are stupid and nieve and a few are sinister, but they are patriots compared to any dim....

Perhaps he’s a little crazy.

But you know what. Sometimes addicts and crazy people will only listen to another addict/crazy person. Maybe some of what he said will sink in to some of those fiscal conservative/socially liberal folks there.

Beck is from a Democrat family.
While spending his years uninformed while on booze
he then is indoctrinated in RonPaulBot propaganda.
Beck has no roots, knowledge or appreciation of Republicans.

To the contrary, I think his attraction for millions of people is that he is basically sane.

He exposes crazy as crazy by getting upset over it, because he's fighting the programming that has led people to calmly accept crazy lying illegal destructive bullshit from their leaders. So he points out that the bullshit is crazy, and he gets upset about it, and then he says - "see how I'm upset and not calm, because this is crazy? That's called sanity. It's sane to get upset over crazy bullshit. It is not sane to accept it calmly."

He's teaching outrage sanity to a calmly insane population.

I’d like you to watch the video of his CPAC speech and let me know item by item what you disagree with. Okay? Thanks.

He just carries on like that for entertainment value. It's a device for keeping people with short attention spans interested long enough so they can learn something about who and what we have in the White House today.

I began hearing Beck on radio...I recall wondering who he was because I thought he was telling it like it is. I tuned in often when Sept o8 came on us. He made good sense. He was not crazy sounding or theatrical any more than most..in fact serious most of the time.

When he went to Tv the theatrics began..and increased over time...these can be annoying at times and entertaining at others...it is TV. He is a passionate man and though can go to extremes now in his delivery I still see that he is generally spot on...and continues to tell it like he sees it. So I will continue to listen.

Crazy is his gimmick - he's brilliant, and in this case, correct. No, the republicans aren't as bad as the democrats. But yes, they suffer from the same problem. They prefer big, intrusive government to freedom. They (many) are addicted to the power.

"We don't suck as much" is not an acceptable alternative any more.

I used to think that, after watching him at CPAC I think he's crazy like a fox.

Watching him at CPAC was like watching a Masters Degree course in American Hisotry. I had my two sons (11 and 13) watch it with me.

Frankly, I think it should be manadatory viewing next year in my son's 8th grade history class when they have to take their Constitution test.
