re: #577 Soap_Man

One thing I do have to admit is that with many people, it is a chicken-and-egg argument. Does Beck make ‘em crazy or were they crazy to begin with and he is just giving them an outlet? For my cousin it is the former, but I bet most are the latter.

I suspect that many people are susceptible to such thinking, but hearing it coming from someone on TV, with charts and graphics, makes it seem more real, and channels their general fear and paranoia toward Beck’s specific talking points.
