There are lots of folks here, there, and everywhere who like Beck. It surprises me, I think he’s tremendously unimpressive when compared to thinkers and articulators like Rush and Levin and whomever you might think are prescient or insightful in the economic/financial realm. Beck is what Levin calls a back bencher IMO.
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.
