My problem with Beck does not include these things: It is not that he is teaching about Progressivism. It is not that he commands and audience. It is not that he is making money. It is not that he is entertaining.

He has stolen written thoughts from Levin and claimed them as his own. Levin has been in the conservative movement since he was maybe 14 years old. He has spent his life learning and thinking about these major philosophical and practical ideas in the conservative movement. I wrote about this too, not that I'm just a great big Levin fan, (I am) but I believe it does not take much to see the breadth of understanding of the constitution and the founding that Levin has. Beck cheapens all of this by stealing and acting as though he's the professor with the chalkboard and has so many original thoughts that he can churn out books hand over fist. I really believe that Beck is in a bad situation right now with his mental health. Not that he's crazy, just that he seems very vulnerable and sensitive. If he has ADD and is an admitted past coke user and alcoholic, perhaps now catching flak is his new high. But that is dangerous to anyone's mental state.

Further, I attend my local Republican Party meetings and the new people coming in watch Beck (good right?) except that they all say the same things like robots, always repeating progressive, RINO, and so on. They are going to get pissed the first time any Republican gets a nomination not to their liking and they will jump ship, IMHO. This battle is going to last for a very long time and I'm afraid Beck is not giving them the best advice. He is irresponsible in his leadership.

All of you idiots keep repeating that, but not a single one of you can come up with an example. Enough already. Either produce examples of this 'theft' or STFU already.

What did he steal? Was it something Levin came up with on his own?

I remember when Levin was making those claim all I could think of is that a lot of things Mark talked about I already knew except for the legal stuff Mark is the master of those things!

I see all these remarks like robots of Mark’s Beck steels from Mark.

Well I think Beck got his stuff from NCCS not from Mark!

Skousen’s work has been around sinse the 1980’s and I am sure there are over laps!

Levin has been implying this as well. It's time to put up or shut up. What did Beck steal?

I really hope that Levin isn't suggesting that his observations about the Marxist/Maoists tendencies of this administration are somehow his exclusive intellectual property.
