Hate Beck? Don’t bother. I mean it, it’s not only a waist of time, it’s exactly what he wants from the Left.

Think of Beck this way:

Beck wants one thing– money.

I’m serious. This guy is such a $40 million Limbaugh wannabe that he’s starting to look like Limbaugh. So how does a Beck become a Limbaugh (money wise that is). Spew every outrageos thing that comes to his (if he had one) mind. That’s how he went from CNN to Fox…thanking his lucky little black holes that he now had a black president that he could call racist.

Now…with that in mind, it becomes much easier to characterize what he says as an attempt to build his "bad" reputation in order to build his following of right-wing lemmings so that he can demand more money from Fox. More importantly, it’ll be easier for Progressives to not get sucked into the argument (which, once again, exactly what he wants). Instead, Progressives can just dismiss Beck’s bloviations with a little shake of the head and say "Tsk. Tsk. That Beck. Still trying to get that Limbaugh money."
