It's easier for Beck aficionados to sit like mindless zombies, absorbing his crazy opinions about nearly everything, than it is for them to read on their own and arrive at their own informed opinion. Oh, wait, the Beckies don't like it when actual facts interfere with what they believe. My bad!

But, kind lady, I keep finding that the things Beck says have actually happened or do later. Whoops, I forgot, I watch his show and you don't. Sorry.

More enlightened? By MM and HuffPo and other Spooky Dude paid for sites?

I've said before that I'm not the world's biggest Beck fan - I can take him or leave him - but what he does do is tell people not to believe him blindly ... to do their own research, to form their own opinions.

So to say the comment I've bolded, couldn't be farther from the truth of what Beck consistantly says.

Interesting that Beck fans NEVER take one "story" from Beck and demonstrates to us how "right" Beck is. All you ever do is challenge people to watch his show and find fault or lies. Why don't you guys just tell us what Beck is saying which is so pertinent and so all-knowing, and PROVE to us that he is right? since Beck never lies, as you guys claim, it should be easy for you. If Beck is saying things that are so critical for "all of us" to know, then you should be passing on his words. Why don't you?

I'd say it's because Beck's "stories" are so convoluted that you cannot repeat what he says and defend it adequately. Why don't you all "comment" on something SPECIFIC which Beck alleges and prove he's right and what the implications are of such comments?

You don't do it because MM doesn't tell you what the real truth is only that Beck is a liar. You fail to realize that Spooky Dude created MM to do what they do with the people who want to believe what they spin and never see Beck to see what he is actually saying.

Just because right-wingers need Beck to tell them what to think, to "connet the dots" so to speak, does not mean we all are cult followers. I believe you're projecting in that post above.

Btw, can you give us Beck's credentials at least? What makes him intellectually so supreior to everyone one else who is analyzing politics and news?

So WHY don't YOU tell us the "real truth" is? WHY won't YOU take just one of Beck's conspiracy theories or just one of Beck's "truths" from his shows and demonstrate how Beck was able to put the "clues" together and predict the outcome? Or even less than that? WHY won't YOU pass on the critially important message of one of Beck's "shows" to all of us you are so ill-informed because we don't watch him? If the MESSAGE is what is really important, and if the MESSAGE tells us how to "save the country"......WHY IN THE WORLD DO YOU REFUSE TO PASS IT ON? Huh? You love your country, don't you? You want to "stay free," don't you? Then WHY DO YOU KEEP SUCH VITAL INFORMATION as the information which Beck puts out every day A SECRET FROM ALL OF US?

Again, I'd say it's because Beck's "message" is so convoluted that you all simply CANNOT repeat it coherently. The message is designed to keep you "hanging onto your chair" waiting for the "next installment." Not that different from a soap opera.
