No...but raving incomprehensibly about fascist/socialist/communist artwork in Times Square might.
I saw the wheels coming off a year ago when Beck asked John Hagee whether Obama was the anti-christ.
Of course, at the time, his loyal fans said Beck was just making a light-hearted joke.
Flash forward to now, and Beck is routinely on the air calling the president a racist, engaging in one world government conspiracy theories, and ordering his fans to pray, stock-up on canned goods, and promoting revisionist history tracts that defend slavery.
This is the type of EXTREME crackpot shit that is normally relegated to shortwave radio.
In some cases the hypocrisy is so glaring, you have to wonder how anyone could watch this huckster fraud without catching wise.
One day, Beck acts shocked, just shocked, that someone like Van Jones would unpatriotically dare to question 9-11 and the US Government.
The next, Beck proceeds to impugn the motives of Obama, FDR, Woodrow Wilson, and Teddy Roosevelt for the course of an hour…claiming that those Presidents are/were leading America down the path to totalitarianism.
Funny how it’s ok to make wild defamatory accusations of the US government, just so long as the administration in question isn’t Republican.

In other instances, he will rail against the patronizing eastern elitists that try to tell the folks in the heartland how to think, and then he will pull out a chalkboard and attempt to do precisely that.
Is there anything possibly more patronizing than an uneducated DJ college dropout teaching others 3rd grade history?
Tell ya what, the day Olbermann pulls out a chalkboard and starts trying to teach me the true story of the 20th century conservative movement, I’m flipping him the hell off.
The left has some fringe voices (Mike Malloy especially) but NOTHING like this.
Murdoch and Ailes truly have no shame.
