I started listening to this guy when he was on CNN. He did - IMO - a lot of light shining on the Muslims. When he jumped from CNN to FOX, I figured the CNN crowd were getting uncomfortable with his message and booted him out.

Started watching him on FOX and found it perplexing that he never continued with the Islam stuff. But I found what he was talking about interesting. However, I was also listening to Mark Levin and I started to notice that stuff Levin had talked about some weeks back, Beck was talking about it - as if it were his own stuff. At one point the advertisment for his program seemed directly ripped off from Levin's program - hear today what others will talke about tormorrow.

I then researched Beck a little and found out about his past. Specifically, his days as a shock jock and an alcoholic. I told my wife at the time that while I like him, there is just something about him I do not trust. He did not seem genuine to me - not like Rush or Levin. Like he was in it for the money, he figured that he could do the conservative schtick and make money. It seems he did.

I never really knew why he left FOX but it seems his schtick got old. He got caught in a couple of lies and I guess his ratings started to slip. If anyone can fill me in, I would appreciate it.

My wife asked me last night - after watching Beck on BORs program - if I agreed with what Beck is doing and saying. My reply - if he is spending his own money or getting donations to help these people, that's okay with me. But if he is advocating that the government step in, help these people, let them stay - which I believe he is doing out of his perverted belief of Christianity - than he is dead wrong. The leftists now love him - he seems to have turned into a big gov guy. And I wonder what Mark Levin now thinks after he patched things up with him on air.

Beck is a Mormon.

My impression is that he bounces around on a lot of issues in unpredictable ways. I find his radio show to be annoying... they seem to lack focus, and act stupid to pander to the lowest common denominator.
