Beck comes pretty close to being an Illuminati kook, I’m not surprised one of his producers is.
And the MSM is just itching to connect them to the tea partiers. Beck is not the leader, no one is...
I had a conversation with a very religious friend of mine the other day who views Beck as a “prophet,” and “the only one out there providing revelation.”
Beck is wet behind the ears on all that conspiracy-theory kook stuff. He'll have to back away from it soon if he hopes to retain credibility with sensible people.
I remember Rush talking about coming across that stuff at the beginning of his radio career and being impressed by it at first. He said it didn't take him long to realize how ridiculous it is, and like Buckley, he rejected the Birchers and distanced himself from them and other right-wing extremists (Lindon La Rouche, Lew Rockwell, Alex Jones, et.al., types)
