Sadly for me- my schedule has kept me from hearing Mark as much as I used to- so I haven’t heard him on the topic of Beck.
My personal view- Mark has depth and a great mind- his intellect towers over Beck. I would prefer he not always jump on libs so ferociously- even though I am just as impatient with them as he :) I have learned more from Mark than any other talk show.
Sean is a nice guy- does a lot of good and probably attracts a lot of younger people to take another look at conservatives.
Beck has brought attention to some very serious and important issues and has done terrific work exposing the history of the left in America. I am unable to listen to his whole show- radio or tv. His personality gets in the way- it distracts me and I find his self-absorbtion and drama too much. But I cheer him on- and appreciate his work.
Rush is in a class of his own. Even when I think he’s wrong and don’t agree with him- he’s Rush. As a private citizen, he’s done more for the conservative cause than anyone I can think of..
One thing that I always keep in the back of my mind is that Rush is probably one of the truest believers of all time. Truth is with his hearing problems and as hard as he has worked all his life(and once you are worth over 100 million you obviously have other motives) he really does not have to turn the golden eib mike on ever again.
I think he does it because he cares for the country and sees where it is headed.
