Goldberg: "In defense of Glenn Beck"

Glenn Beck exposed Green Jobs Czar Van Jones as a self-avowed communist which led to Jones' removal by the Obama administration (because Obama had said, 'Judge me by the people who surround me' ... Mr. Beck took him up on it).

Beck is digging, researching, connecting dots, and exposing Democrat hypocrisy on health care, czar appointments, bailouts, and more ... he has exposed fraud in ACORN, a group with ties to the White House, and he is sharing the information he finds with fellow American citizens. Anyone with an open mind can listen and judge for themselves.

Jonah Goldberg wrote a column in USA Today in defense of Glenn Beck:
... much of the anti-Beck backlash (He's an extremist! He's paranoid! He's hate-filled!) from the left is hard to take seriously. First, this is a crowd that lets Michael Moore and Janeane Garofalo speak for them, and that celebrated the election of unfunny man Al Franken to the Senate. If you think it's racist to oppose Obama's health care reform efforts, it goes without saying that you'll think Beck is an extremist. This is what liberals always say about popular right-wingers, including Barry Goldwater, Ronald Reagan and William F. Buckley. For over 20 years liberals, including Presidents Clinton and Obama, have insisted that Rush Limbaugh is everything from an unpatriotic hatemonger to an enabler of domestic terrorism. It makes sense that they'd give Beck the same business.
Check out Beck's 912 Project website. It may help doubters better understand not only Glenn Beck but those who now consider themselves "912ers." These are not "right-wingers" but rather a growing group of Americans who are questioning government overreaching, spending, and out-of-control electeds who are not listening to We the People.

Well said. I wish more people would take the time to listen to what Beck has to say rather than judge him because he is 1: Conservative, and 2:On a particular News Channel.
He's one of the few people who present a story and actually backs it up with evidence.
