Rush Limbaugh is a lying sack of sh*t---but Beck frightens me even more than Limbaugh.

When Beck first emerged, I thought, "Here we go, another Rush wannabe."

But then, when Beck called Cindy Sheehan a "slut," talk radio reached a new low.

For a chickenhawk like Beck to call the mother of a fallen soldier a "slut" was disgusting.

But it hasn't hurt Becks' career at all. In fact, since then, Beck has gone from strength to strength. Last year, he earned $23 million. And he recently appeared on the cover of "Time."

I still can't understand why Beck's "slut" comment didn't abruptly end his career. And he continues to spew out toxic rhetoric to this day, whether it's calling the victims of Katrina "scumbags" or blandly talking about killing Michael Moore.

All this really makes me wonder if there really could be a God.; October 24, 2009 at 8:28 AM
