Your husband is correct. For example, my 22 year old son and his friends LOVE Glenn Beck. Then again, so do I.
As for Mark Levin.....gotta love him, too. They’re both awesome spokesmen for the cause of freedom in America, albeit they use very, very different “voices”.
God bless ‘em both....and Rush, Sean, et al....for all they do. I’ll take the whole lot of them, and then some. All bring something unique to this critical national discussion; all have contributed mightily to this deep, national soul-searching we are currently experiencing.
To Mark, Rush, and others on the airwaves: Just remember that Beck has his weekday TV show (as does Sean Hannity, by the way), and by default that ensures he gets more attention. We’re still a very “visual” society, and the ability to add an hour every weekday to three hours on the radio each day is awfully powerful in terms of public exposure.
My kids are 27, 26 and 23. They all LOVE Beck, and are turning their friends on to him. Beck isn’t my cup-a-tea, and honestly, I think he’s riding the bandwagon, but the more young folks he can convert the better. He’s flashy, and that’s what the kids like. I’ll pass on him, his style and his shows. Mark Levin is much more intellectual, and that fits my style better. But, then, I’m an old fart of 51.
