Just because people may not like him or what he has to say, doesn't mean he lacks credibility.
Just because you don't like Keith Olbermann doesn't mean he lacks credibility. It's cause he's a partisan entertainer that will distort whatever he can for ratings and popularity and to appeal to his designated audience.
Same goes for Beck. When you heard him joke about poisoning Nancy Pelosi, or call the President a racist, or make fun of the presidents child, or insult 9/11 families, or act as if the government is out to get him, or how Rockefeller plaza has communist ties, compared stem cell research to eugenics etc, do you really think he's credible and being sincere or do you think he's appealing to his base and will say whatever he has to to make money and get an audience? I'll be the first to admit it when I think someone on the left isn't sincere and acting like a jackass for ratings or just for pure partisanship, and people on the right have to follow suit. I understand that he espouses alot of sane conservative beliefs about smaller government etc., but don't expect normal people to take him seriously after listening to all his other garbage.
Even most sane conservatives know it's a shtick and that he's off the deep end.
