First, let me apologize for lumping you in with the knee-jerk Beckaphobes who reflexively mock his every deed and utterance. You may not like him but you have an informed opinion. So sorry 'bout that, it won't happen again.
I'm not here as a Beck apologist. Since leaving Fox I have no idea what he has been up to. I found his show interesting and funny but often frustrating. He would announce a big project every 6 weeks or so only to quickly move on to the next big project, the previous one all but forgotten.
I can also name several predictions and dire warnings that were WAY off base. Puerto Rico becoming the 51st state by secret vote anyone?
Anyway, what I thought he did best (and pissed off his enemies the most) was to point out the revolutionary radicalism in so much of the Left's ideology. Many American Democrats are ignorant of this or don't want to think about it but it is undeniable. And this is worldwide over the past 60 years. Main examples being student revolts. The labor movement. Romanticizing communism. Much of the environmental movement. And now sympathy towards to Islamism. With plenty of jaw dropping video clips to illustrate.
This also is the subject of books like: Unholy Alliance: Radical Islam and the American Left , Liberal Fascism, The Grand Jihad: How Islam and the Left Sabotage America and After America: Get Ready for Armageddon
The revolutionary goal; to destabilize the West and capitalism. The coming insurrection Beck called it.
You either see it all around you (London, Middle East, US losses AAA rating) or you laugh at it I guess.
So, I'll just respond to a couple of points specifically since you took the time to explain your thoughts.
Maybe, but could have to do with the looming U.N. vote on Palestinian statehood. An issue that may well split some Western alliances.
As discussed on a thread sometime ago, issues surrounding Israel are upside down in many ways. I have no idea how it became as politicized as taxes, spending or illegal immigration are. What I don't do is discount those that deny the Holocaust or Israel's right to exist. And I pay close attention to whom they associate with.
