Why do progressive liberals hate Glenn Beck?
I don't hate anyone, even though people would put me in the progressive liberal camp; in reality I am more aligned to anarcho-capitalist and anarchist-communism than authoritarian or state based systems.
What I dislike is his rants and his generalizations; he might sound better than the junk on Fox and CNN, but it isn't quality journalism. If he wants to be taken seriously then he could stop taking his talking points from some of the crackpots at mises that give lectures on 'national socialism and socialism being the same'.
Even in the national socialist movement, which Glen Beck keeps describing there were two separate camps i.e. those that supported Hitler and those that didn't agree with Hitler's authoritarian way of doing things.
But enough of that, this is describing America. Which is at worst corporatist leaning; the flawed national socialist economy does not exist in America, nor has the consty been suspended. So Glen Beck is not going to be taken seriously till he stops talking about Obama turning America to Communism or Nazism.
