Because when the Catastrophe took place, he was the only one (one of a few anyway) who stepped out and reminded us that We Surround Them. He was willing to get in their faces, with his dedicated phone line for the white hut to call on and challenge anything he was saying. His call for “deep throats” to come in and blow the whistle on the administration. His modeling of the behavior of every joe sixpack out there reading the real documents for themselves for the first time.
Look, I had to stop watching him, or listening too much talk radio, no more watching FNC, because I was too upset and too angry all the time. It wasn’t good for me. I wish him all the best, and pray his continued good health, such as it is—I think he contracted some pretty bad health condition, IIRC. He’s not the best, but he’s far from the worst.
“Because when the Catastrophe”
Are you referring to the financial crisis of 2008-2009 or the election of 0bama? (honest question)
I think Beck has had his moments. I agree, he’s not the best nor the worst. He has done some good work, primarily during the financial crisis. But I think that he’s not an originator, he’s not an original thinker. He’s never the first one to see nor articulate something. So, I’m just saying....there are better sources, far better sources. And, if I was in love with his delivery, then that would be that. But I’m not. And he has some goofballisms that negate his strengths, so overall, I’m sub-lukewarm on him.
