Lets see...where do I begin with Beck. The first warning shot was when he said the tea party must be racist for voting for Newt. The second warning shot was when he took Perrys book and ripped the foreward out that Newt wrote. The third was when he put up pics of Santorum, Romney and Ron Paul and said “One of these will be our next president. Oh I know. There is one more named Gingrich but why put him in the mix?” Then we had all the hit pieces he put up on the blaze to bash Newt and he brought Romney supporter Ann Coulter on his show to bash Newt. He claims to be great friends with Santorum and to be for him but now he tells Santorum it is time to quit when Santorum is doing great. What a great buddy, ha? He interviewed Sarah Palin and said she is very guarded and he was not sure it should be her for president. He said Romney, Santorum, Bachmann or Ron Paul are ok but Newt is a progressive and he does not like him. Romney is a liberal progressive and he is ok. hmmmm. He has been so gung ho for Israel but it is fine if Ron Paul takes the presidency because he believes in small govt. and we may have an economic crash. He is a strong believer in destroying Newt and yet he brings a lot of religious people on his program to talk about love. I try to glean what I can from his show about Soros, etc..but I have learned something is not quite right here.
I really think Beck used Sarah Palin and aggressively associated himself with her for a while, just for the publicity and perhaps the conservative “cred.”
For a while I was still listening to parts of his radio show to see what garbage would come out of his mouth, but the last straw for me was one day when he was raging against Newt, calling him names, and then, bam, switched over to the syrupy, self-righteous voice and started talking about how darkness was coming and we all needed to be the light. I said out loud, “You hypocritical jerk, you can’t preach to anybody”, and turned him off for good.
I’ve never trusted Beck even back in his heyday here on FR.
