How so? He has an extremely successful online TV network, and sounds the alarm on overreaching government every day. Do you watch GBTV or listen to his radio program?
I used to. I liked his Fox show, I listened to his radio show, and I subscribed to GBTV for a short time. There were red flags along the way, beginning with the way he used to lump Jesus Christ in with MLK and Gandhi, as "three men." But he's gone off the rails in too many ways now. The constant bashing of Newt and the promoting of Romney sickens me. The endless moralizing in that pious tone of his, while conducting a smear campaign against Newt, doesn't wash with me anymore---Beck is in no place to preach to anyone. His tendencies toward treacly, warm and fuzzy, New Age stuff rub me the wrong way---"Restoring Love"? Really? And what about the Israel rally? IMO it was a good thing, but for a while he was all about Israel, and after the rally, not another word---on to the next obsession and the next big super-secret announcement that would change the world.
Beck's ego is out of control, and I think he's becoming the nasty person he says he used to be when he drank. The last straw for me was when he referred to his audience as his "followers". I think he really sees himself as some kind of prophet.
