    Beck has dropped off the deep end in the past few years and in my opinion does more hurt than he does help.

    I find his rantings to border on the absurd. There are enough legitimate, real reasons to be concerned about our current leadership,
    making up sensational theories to scare people and sell books makes him look like a whacko, and only furthers the stereotype that all "right wingers"
    think and believe as he does.

    Necessary Evil, sorta like keeping shotguns, it's good when they know you have em

    Not sold on his rap, but keeps the fires burning under the progressives.

    Can't say I like him anymore. He more than likely lost his mind 2-3 years ago when he found out what sells and jumped all in on the crazy train. There use to be some really good clips of him on youtube back from his CNN days and he actually had guests on his show and debated and discussed things. Now you cannot be on his show unless your explaining how its TEOTWAWKI

    Well, to be fair he's not a journalist. He's a commentator.

    Sure, he says things that draw fire, but to me what he does isn't nearly as bad as the cheerleaders for the left who claim to be actual journalists.

    Okay, I apologize. Terrible commentator. Just another talking head. Lean too far one way and you become blind to reality. And no matter what he says, he's not a moderate or independent.

    No need. Hell, me- I'm not sure if there is such a thing as a real journalist at the national level anymore, anyway....:dunno:

    Beck's show today,...[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfEYPJ5qJIU&feature=player_embedded[/ame] about 6:45 in he starts talking about the response Obama will make about the Gabrielle Gifford tragedy. Obama invited The NRA to have talks about keeping guns out of the hands of criminals and others who shouldn't have them,... Wayne L Pierre eviscerated him in a return letter,... http://www.nraila.org/pdfs/obamaletter314.pdf. Say what you want about Beck I used to listen to his morning radio show maybe five years ago and he was hilarious, but he kept getting more and more dark and serious and I began to think he was a total downer and stopped listening but all the stuff he was talking about then has come true now, I started listening again. He predicted the stock market bust 3 years before it happened along with a whole lot of other things,... so anyway my .02 take it or leave it.

    I don't watch his TV show, but love his radio show. He can be a bit wacky at times, but has a lot of spot on stuff. Plus, he's frickin' hilarious. Whenever he goes off the deep end with stocking up on beans, bullets and gold, it makes me laugh; not because it's a bad idea (it's a great idea) but because he's really blowing out of proportion the whole "immanent economic collapse" thing.

    I USED to watch him but it didn't take that long before he started to slip off into wackodom. Power corrupts and it got to him. As his audience grew, so did his head.

    I am another that doesnt watch his show anymore, but listen to his radio show everyday. Sometimes he makes me question things and research and other times I just laugh for a couple of hours, the other two on the radio with him help keep the mood lite most of the time.

    Sometimes his presentation gets a little silly, but I have not heard him say one thing that he has not researched to the max. And I have yet to hear of anything he has talked about refuted by the libs (with FACTS, not generalized anti-whatever left wing Soros propaganda).
    If you can get past the silly you will learn a lot about what is really happening in our country. Or you can continue to sit back and soak up the national left wing media crap and watch our country sink.
    IMHO.
