Beck believes what he's saying and by coincidence happens to make a lot of money at it.
Ann Coulter? I highly doubt she sincerely believes it but she's a sharp businesswoman, playing the suckers like a fiddle and always with a glint in her eye. She's harmless because she's not a believer or a fanatic.
There's a difference between the two.
Fortunately/unfortunately, Beck was all over the radio dial when I was driving around Maui in January so I was listening to him more by osmosis than pure choice . . . . . some it of it's fruit loop territory for sure, completely made up in other places but he can also hit the nail on the head in other common sense ways that makes me understand how he can hold an audience.
But the left side of the spectrum has their nutbars as well.
It's all noise on the fringe in both cases.
Really, this is about the middle of the political spectrum heating up some popcorn, pulling up a chair and laughing uproariously as the fringe players on the far left and far right drive each other to distraction.
I loved it a few days ago when a client, a former higher mucky muck bank guy and not a dummy, referred to Obama as "half-Muslim." My ability to keep a straight face at moments like that, well-practiced, served me well.
It was a reminder once again that intelligence and common sense are not necessarily one and the same thing.
