Why do people bash Beck? Does he HAVE to be perfect? Are you, Mr. Bennett?
And have you noticed that most conservatives, self-styled conservatives, and right-leaning Republicans who bash Beck, will assume the most ridiculous postures to do it, and strain at gnats. You don’t like his metaphors? Wow, that’s really worth putting into print. Makes you sound so nuanced, you could almost pass for a lib.
Petty, Mr. Bennett. You might have been going for discriminating, nuanced, and superior, but you landed petty and snobbish.
For the same reason they have to bash Rush Limbaugh or Sarah Palin. Because they are a threat to the status quo. Mr. Bennett knows that if people listen to Beck his powerful connections are not long for the political world. And his connections are what puts money in his bank account.
Mr. Bennett, whom I frequently agree with, is by the way addicted to gambling and has had his own recovery issues. This may be another reason for his sensitivity.
