Beck is tapping into something people are thinking about or his ratings wouldn’t be where they are. I read one of his books and it is not extremist. I remember when Reagan was making waves in the the late 70’s the press couldn’t hammer him enough as an “extremist”. I’m ready for another one like him. No, I’m not comparing Beck to Reagan, just pointing out rhetoric tends to be over the top when discussing someone with strong opinions.

Beck is tapping into some things that people who lack critical thinking skills are thinking about.

Otherwise Beck is simply a nut case. Do all your friends cry one moment, yell the next moment, start laughing the next moment uncontrollably and then tell you it’s all going to be alright?

Well, if you every listen to Beck on one of his crazy rants, this is the pattern.

Sounds a little unstable to me.
