Who has more influence over the rethugs - Limbaugh or Glen Beck?
Ten years ago, this would have been a no-brainer. And I still think that many rethugs revere Limbaugh as some sort of god. But maybe it's just me, but it seems that over the past few years, Glen Beck has been taking over the mantle of mouthpiece for the conservatives. As impossible as it might sound, he placed himself squarely to the right of Limbaugh, and with his TV and radio show, preaches a steady stream of pure hatred and bigotry that the farthest right among Limbaugh's followers lap up like so much kool-aid.

1. I honestly think it depends on their level of insanity ...
... I know some reasonably sane Republicans (yeah, oxymoron, I know LOL) who are avid Rush listeners/readers ... who aren't "into" Beck.

I don't know anyone, at all, anywhere, who is a fan of Wailin' Glen.

4. I know one personally, and he's not weird or insane.
He thinks Glenn Beck is "intelligent".

2. Limboss appeals to their so-called intellects
Beck expresses their feelings.

3. The sad thing is, if the far left really was everything he says it is
he'd have been offed years ago.

He very existence invalidates everything he says.
