Please note several things:
First, it's intruiging that many, if not most, of the negative personal comments come from Jim Sumpter, an early mentor, who might just have a bit of a chafed butt, considering that he was left behind on Beck's rise to fame.
Second, aspects of Beck's religious faith, as it shifted from Catholicism to Mormonism, are treated with disrespect and made fun of in the article.
Third, while much of what Beck says on the air and in his books is virulently anti-Communist, it seems that his critics are not.
Finally, almost a quarter of the article contains quotes from the NeoNazi website Stormfront which praise Beck. It would be difficult to find any websites espousing either side of the political spectrum who do not have comments from radicals. Using Stormfront quotes is fully over the line.
I don't listen to or watch Beck. Can't stand him. As MB poster OutOfTheBiz has written, he "wears me out." But I believe that Beck has a First Amendment right to say what he thinks and that no one has the right to take his words and twist them.
Question: Why doesn't anyone worry this way about the words Charles Jaco says on KTRS? Or is it that there is no one listening to him and Jaco truly is an idiot? I got fitty cents sez Jaco is an idiot.
