LOL. Do you? I understand that Beck may be considered liberals by your standards, but to the rest of America, he is considered hard right. Personally, I think he is slightly bonkers but I understand your point. ;-)

>> I understand that Beck may be considered liberals by your standards, but to the rest of America, he is considered hard right. I think there are nitwits who proclaim him to be "hard right" without ever hearing what he had to say, simply based on the fact he appears on Fox News which the hard left thinks is biased. Anyone who has watched Beck's show recognizes he represents fiscal responsibility and freedom. It is a fact that Obama is an affront to both those concepts and no other administration in memory has come so close to fascism in our country as Obama. And Obama is the current president, so, naturally Obama gets more attention than the others. But Beck clearly criticizes both parties and does not hold back on criticism of GWB where it is warranted. Have you ever watched Beck? If so, what specifically has led you to conclude that he is "hard right"? Aside from you having heard someone else say so? (I don't always agree with him but I do think he is on the track with the abject fiscal irresponsibility of Obama and the concern over the usurping of our freedom that has occurred since last January, as well as the corruption).

" I understand that Beck may be considered liberals by your standards, but to the rest of America, he is considered hard right." Well, Beck trends right, he is Mormon after all. But he main claim to fame is being a rabid conspiracy fan. There isn't a conspiracy theory too wacky for him to ignore. In that respect, he isn't hard right. For example, at one point he was had a chart showing the various corporations he thinks is controlling US politics. That isn't a hard right cause, although it is one that appeals to the Tea Baggers. Beck often comes off as hard right because the hard right spawns a lot of wacky conspiracy theories.
