I can only stand a few minutes listening to Beck, way too religious, but some people listen to that. But when there is a lack of leadership in the country, people look for a different path, a lot are choosing Beck. If Obama was a better leader, even a lukewarm leader, Beck wouldn't have an audience.
Remembering that during the Bush years that Beck was working for CNN
Anytime we have a Dem president the right wing talk shows / radio goes crazy. Even if Obama was turning everything around... they would ride his ass.

Under Clinton, it was no different. I remember sitting at the Lake as a teenager listening to the right wing radio, Savage started in the mid 90's and was made popular under Clinton.

Beck... is much worse, he will make shit up out of thin air and sensationalize it. He doesn't care about facts, look up facts, or report on facts. His talk show is nothing more than a way to put fear into confused/stupid people so they soak up his every word... no matter how extremely bizarre insane crazy he is, the sheep are waiting to soak it up.
