I like Beck and support his overall message, but he is starting to lose me. To begin with he is turning into a one trick pony. Everyday on Fox news and his radio show he is ranting about the same thing and same people over and over with little variations. Woodrow Wilson, blah blah blah, Van Jones, blah blah blah. His misunderstanding and sheer ignorance of Europe is just getting to hard for me to swallow. First he threw Geert Wilders under the bus and on his radio show today he claims that the right wing parties in Europe are Fascist. Say what?? Maybe La Pen, but he is a marginal figure at best. His obsession with the founding fathers borders on an almost fetish. I am half expecting him to fully snap one day and start walking around in powdered wigs. But yesterday he came just short of saying that God had spoken to him and that his message was directly from the almighty himself. As were the founding fathers. I can see deriving inspiration from God but talking to him? Wow. What is that old saying? When you talk to God that is prayer, when he talks back that is insanity.
I am also weary of the almost cult of personality that has sprung up around Beck. Granted, that's not on Beck himself. But some of these people see him as the end all. A Jedi master of sorts. I keep waiting for them to say "Listen for Beck! He'll tell us what to do." But his histrionic personality is what really has been grating on me. He cant seem to decide if he wants to be a political commentator, minister or comedian? And deep down I think he has within him the conspiracy nut gene. I suspect that If rational people heard what he said in private they would probably think he had a screw loose. All in all I really appreciate that he has almost single hand-idly awoken the American public to what is going on. And I thank him for that. But I expect that one day soon he is going to self destruct in front of all of us, live on Fox news at 5 p.m. EST.
