re: #200 Charles

I don’t think the middle is “boring” at all, and I don’t think that’s the reason for Beck’s popularity. Being reasonable and thoughtful takes a little more work, though, and Beck is offering easy solutions and scapegoats for people who don’t want to be bothered doing that work.

Not only that, Beck is using his profession as his on personal therapy couch. He is admitted ADD and an ex-heavy drinker, and take it from someone who knows (me), this guy still has a whole bunch of issues, and it comes out in his manic babbling.

This guy rambles like a mad man sometimes. Why, because he is channelling his compulsions to his politics and social views instead of drinking them in.

The man has some issues, and we don’t need to see him trying to work them out on the American public through his politics. Bad mojo.
