Sometimes.
With a deadpan, Beck insists that he is not political: “I could give a flying crap about the political process.” Making money, on the other hand, is to be taken very seriously, and controversy is its own coinage. “We’re an entertainment company,” Beck says.
I voted Yes, he believes what he says. Now to qualify.. .. ..
Think Progress » Beck admits he doesn’t give ‘a flying crap about the political process. … We’re an entertainment company.’

pb and Gabriel, if Glenn doesn't believe anything he says, you must like him.
pb and Gabriel............so........what DOES he believe?
He's nothing but a snake oil salesman for the tea party.
that is not responsive to the standing question
He's nothing but a snake oil salesman for the tea party.
That doesn't answer my question.
According to you, he doesn't believe in small government, lower taxes and more freedom.
According to you, he doesn't think Obama is bad for the country.
According to you, he doesn't think progressives are bad for the country.
So, tell me....what DOES he believe?
All good salesman pretend they believe in what they sell. Snake oil salesman are not good salesmen though and that is exactly what he is.
Let me know when you're ready to actually answer the question.
To be honest I don't really care if he believes his own drivel. His show is trash.
How long will I wait for your answer.........?
You say he believes NOTHING he says. So............
If he doesn't believe that Obama is bad for the country, then you agree with him....right? If he doesn't believe that progressives are bad for the country, then you agree with him....right?
You're his biggest fan!

I think he believes in the constitution. I think he's a person of faith. I think that he considers the founding fathers to be heroes, and he thinks America is the greatest country on earth. I think that he's most accurately classified as a libertarian.
I actually agree with him on those things. However, I find his shoddy intellectualizing pretty sad. he's not a good student, and he'd have benefited from an academically rigorous college education.

academic rigor and 100% intellectual consistency quickly bores a listening audience.
It wouldn't bore me, but I realize that my IQ is in the top 1%. Yours probably is, too.
I think I'd have more respect for beck if he weren't such a lazy thinker. I think it's possible to stimulate his audience intellectually without relying on lazy intellectual shortcuts.\
This American Life does it for me every Sunday (and normally, NPR bores me to tears).
